  I really like the looks of the hand shifter and the looks you get when you actually use it are so funny......

I have Ted's shifter on my bike.  Love it!   8)  It definitely gets a lot of looks and has people asking a lot of questions.

Okay. Well done.
BTW, where did ya get those tank stickers? I like their brigthness and variety of colours...

The war bonnet tank I bought from link below and I had local autobody shop apply and clear coat.  Mine are gold leaf and they also have silver leaf sets.  I really like the multi-color of the decals in the sun.  They tie in all the colors on my bike from the red, gold, black and white colors.

You can also get them with or without Drifter name.

That's really interesting... but I wonder if it bothers your leg because of its overall width...

No problem there.  The derby cover is only about 1/4" thick so that's all your adding.  The derby cover is sitting directly on top of flat centered area air cleaner with two felt pads added to keep from metal to metal contact in case there was any vibration from riding. The outer three derby cover bolt area with fuel line used as spacer bolt covers is from the contour/bevel of air cleaner.  So overall your only adding 1/4" thickness.  No issues with legs at all.

P.S. I also have a painted 2nd air cleaner cover that I can change out for variety that has two bolt studs I added to air cleaner cover for small related medallions or smaller badges for variety as well. I am working on some of those now.  Look back in this thread for those.

That looks cool. Never thought of an engraver to make up a plate. That is what you did?

Here's the steps-  Buy Indian Derby Cover found one on Ebay for $50 with free shipping, The Trophy Plaque Business engraver only did the words "Tribute" and "Drifter" for $15 cost.  The Cover itself is called a Indian Derby Cover (Primary cover) from/for some Indian Motorcycles.  I just retrofitted it to mount to my 800 air cleaner.  I placed the Derby cover on the inside portion of my air cleaner cover, centered it, marked three holes, drilled out holes to 1/4",  bought 1" length x 1/4" size chrome machine bolts with allen head tip, placed two furniture felt pads on front on air cover to keep near center bolt stem for air cleaner (to keep from metal and metal contact) screwed on three bolts onto the three nuts on inside of air cleaner, then used JB Weld epoxy and a small tip screwdriver and applied epoxy around all sides of the three nuts (don't have a welder), let set overnight and now can remove derby cover when needed to access air cleaner cover.

Place on air cover to bike and replaced acorn nut with standard nut for tighter clearance for Derby cover, center air cover with the tree holes that align to derby cover, tighten air cleaner cover, put on derby cover, make sure it's centered for lettering, add the three bolts with added 3 cut pieces of 1/2" length fuel line to the inside space of derby and air cleaner covers (just to cover bolts and look finished) and tighten to complete.

Overall fits my 800 well and looks great on the bike while paying homage to Indian.

The engraver got it done.  It turned out pretty good and the letter is similar to the Indian name.  Wished it was slightly bigger letters but that was the largest font that would fit the space and the engraver's machine.  The next font was too big  for the space.

I used 1/4 " fuel line hose on the inside to cover up the bolts to give it a finished look from the spacing.

Overall it looks great on my Drifter and paying tribute to Indian.

I think it's the perfect size...looks awesome!
