That isn't a 2000 model Drifter.  That's an "R" model.  Way too much chrome for a "J".

Depends on the "look" yer going for, but I find 120mm ammo cans work quite nicely :D

The bags are Ranger II Chubbies: http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/ranger-ii-chubby-saddlebags-plain-vulcan-900-1500-and-1600-models/part/KAK-53000-223

I was lucky in that the whole setup came with the bike.  You can see more on the struts and loops here: http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/oemsbsetup.html

Can you please tell me where you got the brackets and bags for your Drifter. I cant find any anywhere. Thanks

Drifter's stuff is very hard to find... but sometimes it happens to pop up on the internet. So keep an eye on it and cross your fingers!

The Fire & Steel struts bolt to the frame ears under the seat, so as the rear fender floats up and down, the bags and struts don't.

Can you please tell me where you got the brackets and bags for your Drifter. I cant find any anywhere. Thanks

RockinRonny; heres a pic of the bags on mine; huge, yet sit low, don't stick above the fender, but the pipes are set up as duallys so allows the bags to sit low.   :)

Bob's Mobile Welding in Port Perry. http://bmwelding.com/
Check out the opening video, I made that for him. He does a lot of powder coating, never bike parts yet. Does a lot of stuff for Air Canada, Durham Region and hospitals - portable work stations - Jet engine stands etc. He's in the process of opening a new shop in the industrial park.

He's my favorite bro when I need welding done.

I'm in the process of getting my rims powder coated. I disassembled the spokes and ordered new ones from Buchannan's in California. Powder coat just came in the other day, now I just need to find the time to bring it to my brothers shop.
