Title: 800 parts
Post by: Skelmore on August 15, 2013, 17:19:29 PM
1. Will old Indian handlebars (circa 1946) fit and work on the drifters? Anyone tried this?

2. I'm looking for crash bars for my '05 800. Any ideas? My dealer has no idea...

3. Rear pegs. I'm looking to add rear pegs, but want something cool and that look retro on the bike. Any ideas?

Ride safe

ok front engine guard, watch e bay for a seller from Belgium named Guido he has them and does sell them on e bay and is really good, there is an American in NJ I think it is and he sells the stuff he buys from Guido and his prices are high.

1. any 1" bar will work... you can change risers to use almost any other set of bars out there. http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/handlebarsxref.html (http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/handlebarsxref.html)

2. I believe any engine guards that work on classics will work on the 800.

3. The peg brackets are all the same. The pegs themselves can be anything as long as they fit the bracket.

as far as the pegs go chief is right but you may have to hunt around for the right adapters.  especially if you want them to fold

Thank you everyone. I looked up the crash bars from NJ on eBay. $270 seems pretty steep. God to know that the classics bars might be an option. Thanks Chief and fellow drifters.

   hunt around on e bay and you might find Guido his prices are very reasonable, I'll look on there over the weekend and see if I can find something.
