I'm having mixed thoughts on going army green for the bike now.  As cool as it looks, I feel the mat paint look might lesser the look of the bike.  Maybe I'll go black with the whitewall wheels.  ;)
Not a member of the Vandoos. I was a combat engineer based both out of Valcartier in Quebec (5RGC) and Chilliwack BC (1CER).  I always feel like adding a little military flavour to my hobbies but I think the bike might be better suited in black.  Keep it vintage looking.  We'll see.

  See that too Marc about not a lot of places list for a 99 but I do like that fender guard too, perhaps a winter project for myself. I seen enough of the green fleet to avoid it in my off time.
Were you a member of the Vandoos?

Gents, I seem to find a lot of Drifter parts that are listed to fit 2000 models and up.  Almost never the 99 version.  Is this cause it doesn't fit the 99 models due to a change in configuration between 99 and 2000 or is it generally an oversight and those models are the same?

Thanx
Marc

very cool!  Thanx for giving me ideas.  I think I'll go for it and get mine painted.  I like the front fender railing in black too.  Have to find that.

Anyone here have an army looking drifter?  I have a '99 with the factory paint and thinking of changing that to a military feel since I'm ex military myself.  WOuld love to see a few examples if there are any out there.

Cheers
Marc
