Came across this picture of my uncle on his old Indian.  The shifter was on the left side.

Thanks fellow Drifters  for the comments.

Cool pic of your Uncle and Indian.
What a cool bike and times to have one.  I kinda wished I grew up in that era.

I think the hand shifter was on the left because the throttle was on the left and they had a foot clutch.

Beautiful bike!

That pic with the bags and custom seat; your bike looks much better than the new Indian Chiefs!

Lol.  Hey DC I saw yours and they set your bike off the scale, so I had to get mine done.

Glad you liked them and they were inspiring.  That's the great thing about the forum.  We all have lots of ideas to share.

It's a funny story. I just sold my 800 in July and decided to look for a 1500. I found the seat on eBay for buy it now for $450 with $15 shipping.  I fell in instant drifter love for it and pony up the big bucks the seller wanted. I then found out he was selling the 1500 the following week and bought that in Indiana.  So I found a seat first and then my new Drifter 1500 for it.

Great story! Talk about putting the cart before the horse. lol

Awesome stuff! Where did you get the 2 up seat?

It's a original Travel Horse,  I believe is the name.  It was a company that made Drifter seats back when they were in production and at some point went out of business.

The leather work is phenomenal. I wish I could find their matching brown solo seat.  If I ever do will switch over my mud flaps to brown.

If anyone has the solo Travel horse in brown and want to trade for my factory mint black solo seat plus some cash let me know.
