Just beware of those that are asking stupid high prices for parts, so do look around. Spotlights and a light bar should not be to hard to find one off any Vulcan Classic should fit.
Lots of talk about hard and soft bags on the forum, so some winter time reading. A double Drifter Family is nice, 2 different sizes is also good.
Also check out the tabs up top marked links and Articles for more reading and finding things to do and how to do them.

- November 12, 2016, 17:39:33 PMHi All,
The bike needs a solo seat,spotlights and either a fairing or windshield.
The easy things are an Indian fender light and new bags.
I've always liked the way the drifter looks and rides.
I sold my 2005 Kawaki Vulcan 2000 which was a great ride but very top heavy.
The paint is very different from any other drifter's I've seen and really looks great up close but might go back to the traditional two tone some day.
I also like the 800 drifter with the single shock and trying to talk the wife in selling her intruder so we can have two drifter's in the family.
I love working on bikes so mod's will be fun but yeah i'm finding getting oem or even aftermarket goodies is a challenge at best.
The bikes on the site are gorgeous and I am on the site a lot getting ideas and hopefully contribute with something useful in the coming months.

And good luck with your hunting. You'll need it, as aftermarket stuff is gettin' way harder to find as time goes by...

- November 11, 2016, 21:21:57 PMHI Folks,
I purchased and put in storage an awesome 1999 Drifter and am so glad I found this site. It's getting cold in the NH but I'm looking forward to riding come spring.
Having fun looking for a few goodies like a solo seat and driving lights.
