Need a visor for my speedometer...which ones work? part numbers if you have them please.
Thanks
How ironic...I've been looking myself! Yes, would be very interested in what speedo visor works on our Drifters.
I did see one at the Biker Reunion for a 800, but the guy wanted $125.00 for it........they do look really good if you powder coat them black and give the bike that added look ........
Found them on Amazon..I'm pretty sure this is the one for the 1500.

No kidding?! Hmmmm, probably read this thread and decided to horde them and resell for profit.

SO how many did you get, Pilgrim??? ;D
I got one ;D but it said they were still available when I shared the link, don't know how many they had, must not have been many.
Someone is swimming in speedo visors now. :o
I wonder if this would fit a 1500 Drifter?

Good question??? There out there in chrome and black finish for the Vulcan 900 that has a similar speedometer housing.
Has anyone tried to fit on a Vulcan 900 visor?
know anyone with a 900? measure the diameter of the speedometor..if the same as Drifter..it willl fit.
The dash looks the same in the pictures. I was looking at these a while back, but could never find measurements any place. I thought about just buying one to try it -- Amazon has easy returns....
Hi, I have seen one on fleabay. Try questions and answers, down on the page.

The link takes you to several hundred visors none of which are for Drifters?
I 'll be hunting for visors at the bike show on Sat so if I find any I'll be selling them because I already have one.......
QuoteThe link takes you to several hundred visors none of which are for Drifters?
Vulcan 900 Custom as being discussed (when narrowed down). The seller should be asked for size to retrieve the required confirmation.
If Ratman happens to acquire some save one for me. I would like to go to the Bike Show but I need to work on the bike this Saturday modifying the back signal light brackets. If I'm done in time I might head up there.
I see there is also a visor for the vn 1700 does anyone know if this will fit the 1500, looking at the pics they do look very similar.
Don't know about the 1700 visor, Shunter.... But I recently bought a visor to fit a 900 to try to fit my 800. It's way too big to fit the 800 - but it looked like the perfect fit for my 2003 1500.
Thanks Greenbarn looks like you have come up trumps once again. I am so glad I have found you. :)
This is the one I bought --- fit really nicely on the 1500, but was way too big for the 800:

Great thanks very much I have ordered one.
Good job GB...now to find the one that fits the 800..I'm sure it's out there and you will find it. ;)
I'm still looking.... ON the 900 / 1500 visor -- I returned the black one I had tried for the 800 , but I liked it so much on the 1500, I had the place exchange it for a chrome one I'll put on the 1500. Made sense instead of paying 20% restocking fee (and having nothing), I just paid an extra $5 for the chrome version, and they said they'd ship for free... Twigg Cycles on Ebay - great seller.

Cool, do you have any close-up picsof it installed? Thanks
Not yet... It's still in the mail.
ok so do you have a chrome one for the 1500 and still need one for the 800?

How do you know if it "fits really nicely"?
Old Drifter: I ordered the 900 visor in black to try it on my 800 - too big. But it was a perfect fit on the speedo for the 1500 (mine is a R model). I sent the black one back (wouldn't fit the 800) and they are exchanging it for a chrome one - should fit the same.
Ratman: Yes, I have the new chrome 900 classic visor coming in the mail - I'm hoping it will fit on the 1500 and look great.
I do have a chrome visor for the 800 -- came on the bike when I bought it. I could powder coat it black - but I'd rather buy a black one if I can find a good fit.
Incidentally, the visor for the 800 measures 4.75" across the tips of the visor. The one for the 900 is much larger 5.75" across the tips.
;) send that 800 chrome one up to me and I'll get it powder coated for you and you can pick it up in July when you and aralph come for the Biker Reunion.......
greenbarn thanks, I just couldn't figure out how you knew that it fit when it was in the mail. I just wanted to be sure about the fit before I fork out $40+ bucks for one. I would need the black one for the '99. Thanks again.
They do look really nice in black. They also look best on a 99......just saying.........

GB I agree with you and you should wait and buy a new black one when one shows up. To help prepare you I would be willing to buy your old chrome one thats needs redone ;D If your going to sell it PM your pice, thanks.
Also good looking out on the tip to tip measurements. Just in case i see one somewhere now I know if it would fit or not.....
If anyone can Greenbarn can,no pressure then. ;D

I sent twiggcyles a question over the weekend asking for the measurements. They posted new pics in the ad with a ruler so you can see the actual measurements. It's 5-3/4" by 3" deep. Looks like a winner for the Drifter, my '99 anyway. Be ordering mine tonite. Thanks greenbarn!
This morning I received the visor in the mail, this thing fits like it was made for my '99 1500 Drifter and looks great! It's made of a heavy metal and black powder coated. Kaw part # K53020-373B
Ain't that a great fit, OD. I sent my black one back, but my chrome version is supposed to be on the way here. Can't wait.
Where's your pictures, BTW?

Just figured out how to post them...look now.
It's a beauty, eh?
Glad to see they fit so well, I ordered one a week ago, it should be arriving about the time I get back to Canada.
Can someone now find a alternative model for the 800? If anyone has an 800 visor for sale PM me.....Thanks
I'm working on it.... no luck yet.
in the past 4 years I have only found 2 800 visors and one is the one on my bike the other was for sale at The Biker reunion and the dude selling it wanted both my lower appendages, and GB's first born....so I passed on it.....
