- September 13, 2014, 09:02:19 AMWell it's been some time since posting on this thread , but here's a little over due up date . We've decided ( Aidan ) to name the 1500 " Miss Ruby " . We added some floor board fringe with studs as well as the front fender tip . IMOP the tip adds a nice touch to this machine . It's starting to get chilly and find that my hands seem to get cold a lot more often then in the past . Either my circulation is getting bad , for numerous reasons , or it's just age creeping upon me 
.
A few weeks ago I attended a benefit ride benefit called , " Lost Wheels " . Very big turn out , as this benefit started in the early 70"s . There was well over 500 bikes and of course only one drifter 
. To a surprise " Miss Ruby " won peoples choice at the benefit . I wasn't expecting that ,as it was overwhelming with Harley enthusiast I guess Harley rider's themselves know a good machine when they see one Of course I could hear people say , " look at that Indian " as they walked up and spotted the Kawi tank emblem ... SURPRISE .... LOL .... Any way here's a few picture's

- May 31, 2014, 13:43:08 PMOK, so here's the challenge Drift1. You have a new ride in the stable. She (or is it a he?) needs a name! It can be as simple as "Lady", or as into it as "Pocahontas", but she needs a name. The sooner the better! And Aidan needs to have a hand in it I'd say!

GB the bag looks WAY to plain from the side view . I believe your right , Troll added some to his as well 
Definitely an easy fix , at least .
PC , Aidan had a blast and so did Dad for that matter . We went on a nice 50 mile run this morning as MAMA was still asleep .... LOL Little guy is hooked now so my guess is the two up seat will be staying on for awhile . I wish I had the skills of the one Mr. Troll . I really like what he did and the look of that Nomad seat mod . Think this is priority on the to do list this winter

- May 30, 2014, 23:01:36 PMQuote from: Drift1 on May 30, 2014, 21:49:13 PMJust wanted to post , up to date pictures . I too , like a few others on the forum . went with the Shinko's and so far I'm enjoying how they handle . Granted I only put about 167 miles on them . I also added the luggage rack bag to the two-up seat back rest . I just strapped it around the rest and it holds nice and tight . Aidan has been on me to put the two-up seat on so he could go for a ride , so today we installed everything and took him on his first ride . I'm still trying to decide , if I should add it to the luggage rack when riding solo or not . The only thing I don't like about the bag is the fact there's no spots ( studs ) on the sides . Adding the studs is on the to do list . Pilgrim , hopefully this weekend I'll cut the windscreen down

Pastor dude , think I'm just to anxious of getting the bike back together and always hated the waiting game .. Must say though , if the right shade was sent in the first place the wait would have been over two weeks ago . David's craftsmanship is fantastic though , I must admit . My biggest complaint is the customer relations , as far as being updated and he's real short on response if that makes since ? Basically one liners , not something someone wants to hear when your paying top dollar for product . Ok my bitching rant is over now .... LOL

You will appreciate that rack too, I cargo net my leather to mine in the afternoons after it warms up. When you gonna cut that windshield down to size...lol.
LOL .... Pilgrim I was waiting for someone to ask me that Honestly man with the 800 still in the basement I just need to ride , but as soon as Osprey sends me my leathers I'll wheel the 800 out and cut down the storm door on front of the 1500 I promise ... LOL . Thanks for the compliment Brian , I'm going to hunt down a bag for the rack if I can find one to my likings I'll have one made .

PC , thanks for the compliment my good man . I'll be sure to provide side by side pictures once I finally get MA-DEUCE all back together and out the basement . I'm still waiting on my goods from Ospreys . I have to be honest I'm a little disappointed with this outfit .

You know, now that you have one of each model, we're going to require an in depth riding review highlighting the best and worst of each model and a side by side comparison, right?

- April 20, 2014, 20:22:53 PMThanks ratman , I too like the all silver emblems a lot better . All the items I put on today are accessories I've purchased since December , when first learning of pilgrims sale of such bike . I think I'll be adding the directional visors as well soon , being I like the appearance they gave after seeing them installed on your ride last year
