beer taps make cool handles to

Super sharp.  Ted shifter's are iconic.  The Drifter itself is #1 for style and retro design and my #2 is Ted's shifter's, old school looks and way way cool factor on the bike, my #3 is the 1500 solo seat rail and #4 1500 cargo rack.  IMO if you own a Drifter your bike is not at the next level without the hand shifter.  Just driving makes it more fun.

Those shifter Drifter knobs are perfect and high quality.  There's a a real cool silver Indian head, that you can get on Ebay from time to time and are cool to change up now and then.  It's all metal and can use a basic tap and die set to make  the same thread size needed in two minutes.  That and 100 more knobs to suite your taste.

Here's mine

It depends on where the bracket on the foot shifter ends up. I purposely moved it forward.
Here's some pix of the bracket that came with the kit and my modification.
Other than that it is fine.

I was thinking about ordering one some time ago but I didn't want it to block the Zambini Indian tank emblem.
Your pics clearly show it won't ... I just might reconsider!

Thanks for this thread!

I was told that the Drifter insignia is supposed to face the rider, the palm goes on the flat so I turned it. ???

That's a good look, Ronnie.  I looked at those shifter handles too.  Looks really good on your bike.

 What a classic touch.   Better get one while you can at some point Ted won't be making those anymore  then those hand shifters will be as hard to find as solo seat rails.

Just installed one of Ted Struble's shifters with an Indian Drifter shift knob on top. ;)
