- September 20, 2016, 07:42:05 AMSure wish I could see what you see. The three wire plug on mine was easily accessible after I removed the speedo head...The wiring harnesses run under the tank from the plug and attach to the fuel pump and the gauge. As I remember, the 3 wire one was a white tri-lobed connector, and the fuel pump was a black flat connector...it's been a while since I looked

- September 19, 2016, 19:47:45 PMThe main plug is only part of the equation. there is a small, 3 wire plug that feeds the main plug to the meter. Bad connections here will skew the gauge readings. I don't remember the wire colors, offhand, but the wire for the low fuel light is blue....I think

I did get the spedo off and checked that main plug, looked good. I can move the needle with my finger and it stays wherever I move it until I plug it back in and give it power. It then goes back to E. I did find that the gas light does work. It came on and it took 3.4 gallons to fill but needle still didn't move.

I nod my head, "yes" I say solemnly.
I do not want others to catch on and ruin this good thing. Because given the chance, they will ruin this good thing. (smile)

All this time I thought my bike was an Indian built in tribute to Kawasaki. Darn, what will I tell my grandchildren now!!??!!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.

Also the new 2017 Jack Daniels edition was making an appearance.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...

- September 16, 2016, 16:19:16 PMThere 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.

Quote from: Kevin B. on September 15, 2016, 21:18:19 PMi 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.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.
