I guess the hard-bags of that black Indian (That IS a Indian, isn't it?) would really compliment our Drifters.
But I can imagine the huge amount of $$$ they cost...

Yes, the one beside me is an Indian.  There were 5 Indian bikes there, all looked right off the showroom floor.  Also the new 2017 Jack Daniels edition was making an appearance.

   There is a local lad who had a 800 and had it Indianized to the max, he dropped it and swore he was not going to ride again.

1 year later and he has a 1500, painted all black and has Indian on the tank, wears an Indian Jacket, not my problem not my issue but when he is asked what he is riding his response is that it is an Indian Drifter, he enters any of the show and shines and enters it as an Indian Drifter.......
This worked until the owner of a real Indian took exception to it and pointed it out to the judges and he was asked to withdraw from the show. So just goes to show.
I have had Indian rides stop and talk and once I explain it is a tribute bike made in 1999 when there was no Indian they are all cool about it.

I will be ordering the one that just says Drifter on it.  That will keep them guessing.

you could always do something custom...attachment

It was fun.  They did a slow roll competition. One Indian guy wanted to talk until he got close enough to see the Kaw on the speedo.  He started talking then stopped and said "oh,......it's a kawasaki " then walked off.  I find this so funny that people get so stuck on a name.  Just another reason I love this bike.  I like being different and not having a lable across my forehead.

i find that the indian guys are quite interested in the drifters and are happy to talk about the tribute bike....it's the harley guys that i find strange.

On my bike, I got rid of all names for that very reason.

Forget about the speedo cable as the 1500 does not have one,

I have the 800 and when I take out the screw, I then slide it forward, as there is a tab that fits in a slot in the front, raise it up slowly and disconnect the speedo cable, not sure about the 1500 but the 800 has 2 plugs that you disconnect under the speedo housing that you are lifting up, Love the seat

pp the bezel off and make sure the plugs are all tight going into the back of the speedo head and the 3 wire plug that runs the fuel gauge. The main plug goes into the instrument and the two other plugs are for the fuel pump (2 wires) and the fuel gauge/push me soon light
