- September 29, 2015, 12:30:58 PMUntil I get a chance to actually check part numbers, I will say that I believe you can install a Nomad charging system with two stators and a double rotor inside the regular alt case. I know you can wire in the second reg/rec unit and put the two of them in the front, under the radiator. Sometimes that whole assy. shows up on eBay....Installing a classic engine won't help, since it has the same single stator system...That being said, I run my electric clothes off mine with no problems. The only thing I do is shut off the electric element if I'm in slow moving traffic. You can check out the part numbers yourself at partzilla.com

Of course, if you still want the Drifter feel to the Classic motor you'll have to swap in a Drifter cam, as the cam grind is different, but yeah, it's a bigger job then you'd think.So what does it take to put a double stater in the Drifter?? anybody done it?

With driving lights, heated grips may be the limit of what you can do power wise. I'm not sure how much more you could do. Maybe Troll could weigh in on this as he's the guru here.....I tend to ride late in the season so thinking of getting heated grips, which would fix the situation.

- September 28, 2015, 17:47:58 PMYES, I lost a bar end the other day.
Unlike my previous bike that had a bolt through, these ones are threaded.
I think because the po put on those aftermarket grips.

- September 28, 2015, 16:11:22 PMNot sure why Troll is upset about the PITA animal people but yes do not lose them little tiny wee bushings they are a really hard part to replace.
Is it a 99? Awesome colour scheme and some glossy paint. Are you missing a grip end? Light bar does look like a F/S one and so it would be 25 watt H-3 bulbs. It does look like the Indian logo should come off really easy and then a bit of goo gone and some shining and you are back were you started, and then to find the correct period badges would be nice.

my headlight and light bar
oh and me and my bike
so standard sized headlight and spots I think
nothing too out of the ordinary...
Posted by Troll
- September 28, 2015, 11:52:24 AMStandard H-4 55/60. Two screws, one on each side below the center line. Each screw has a bushing on it...do not lose it! The spot light, if it's a F&S uses a 25 watt H-3...one screw on the bottom. PITA to get lined up again!

- September 28, 2015, 10:56:14 AMSorry all, busy at work.
Ya the bulb went I assume, bright still works, used that for the ride in.
So I should just be able to pull up to any parts place an ask there?
Will they have a book like Canadian Tire where I just look it up?
I didn't buy the lightbar or anything so don't know sizes.
