No. I guess you are looking to purchase the brackets rather than making them or having them made yourself.  I think it was determined that the fairing they have for the Classic will work for the Drifter. I have asked them to verify.

No, the front end is closer to the classic. I'm supposed to take my 1500 over to them as a model for them to use for brackets, etc. Hopefully sometime this month.

Chief, I know this is very old, but did you ever get together with Reckless and have them measure your Drifter for their fairing mounts?
I would like to put a Batwing on my 1500 Drifter and probably going to need the brackets.

Saw this abs fairing for many models, including Drifter, on Ebay

Hey BamBam, those Nomad lowers, any particular year that fits best? Are they new or used? I was going to make a set but would much rather buy them.

I'm no expert so I might not be the best person to ask.  I just made sure I used hardware from a 1500 FI Nomad and so far so good!
The lowers I'm using were from a 2003 Nomad.

Fire & Steel makes a Nomad style windshield for the Drifter.

Looks good but I could not find the F&S windshield AND the F&S brackets that were needed.  Don't tell me they are readily available???!!!  I spent forever looking for them.

For all you guys wanting to install a fairing on your Drifter, the way to go is with Nomad parts.  I just got done installing a Nomad windshield and lowers on my Drifter and also put on my old scrap fairing (I used to test on my Nomad) to see if I liked it.   Drill/tap into the upper tree to accept the Nomad side brackets with 3/4" spacers (I cut up a few couplers).   Attached are a few pics.  Have to admit, I really like the Nomad windshield size, curvature and inner shield.  I'm going to keep it on the bike but if I ever decide to go the fairing route, all I have to do is order one for a 1500 Nomad.

Remember, he sold the Drifter and bought a Nomad, but we aren't snobs, so he can hang with us anytime. ;)

Oh, I have a Drifter now too!  After I sold mine, I missed it and had to buy another.  In fact, I just put the 2 up seat and saddle bags from it up on Ebay.

My "new" Drifter -=> http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/index.php?topic=40974.0

I'm almost 100% happy with the Nomad so I will be starting on the Drifter soon (after I get my wood cut/split ... priorities)

I just ordered a wompus rack for it and have alot of things to install.  Still trying to decide what bags to go with....

Nomad?  I thought we were talking about your Drifter...    When did you get a Nomad??

The fairing looks really good, BTW.
