So I'm wondering if I'm missing a screw on this side of the motorycle. Big shot below, closeup even lower.
Should I plug this hole?

I think it's one of the tapped holes that would normally hold the left side chrome cover that the classics and Nomads have. There are 4 of them. The cover you do have occupies 2 of them, and the last one is down near the footboard.
Thanks!
So, if I understood this right, I could potentially add more chrome! ;D 8)
The parts you need show up on eBay now and then...If you buy it that way, be sure you get the bolts with it...they are not just every day hardware. It's not just chrome, but rather a cover assy. that hides all the busyness on the left side.
Yes you are missing a screw and a corrigated black metal cover that is about the same length as you floorboard..

Imagine doing the marble mod and then somehow losing your marble(s). lol

....and rightfully so....
Here's what I'm talking about....not necessarily this one, but this is what you need if you want to add the cover.

This one has some wear on it, so the price is pretty low. These go for A LOT when they are perfect...

I was wrong I just cleaned my bike after a muddy ride and noticed I have the same screw hole, then I looked at your top whole bike photo and saw that you already have the black cover that I have..
John.
Phew...cuz I was about to ask you if you could post a picture or something.
My '99 1500 has a screw there.
Ok, can anyone tell me which other models / years covers are compatible with a '99 Drifter?

Just a screw? Does the bike look like mine (in that area)?
It looks just like yours with the exception of the regulator having been moved to the front.
Found a pic to add.
Thanks for posting the pic.
