looking to buy a highway bar for my 1999 1500 drifter...where can i find them ?
terry
Ebay has the chrome starting at 149 up to 249
do all 1500 vulcans fit the drifter ? if not....which ones fit?
terry
No not all fit... Any year 1500 Drifter will fit.
Look in the accessories area for Engine Guards... and look in the mods/tips in the Info/reference area for the cross reference stuff. Go to the website and click the buttons.
thank you.
hey everyone....any recommendations on a certain brand of highway bar to buy ? or not to buy ?
terry
I have the cobra bar and its been a good one... haven't heard any horror stories about any brand.
I like the Lindy Linbar.

Check it out, with this you can avoid using those highway pegs that make you spread your legs like you are delivering a baby, you can elevate your feet and stay close to the bike.
Anyway I love the look and functionality of these highway bars, check them out.
I think the regular rounded stock bars take away from the look compared to the Lindy.
Good luck,
Lump
Lindby is nice, but not retro... the round is more true to the design... there are a ton of pegs available as well.... they don't spread much (try a goldwing! that's a stretch!) But the good thing about the drifter is the 1001 variations that can impact the look of the bike!
Make sure to avoid any bar designed for the classic with a cross piece at the bottom. I made the mistake of putting one on assuming it would be fine as it came from another drifter owner. I hit a good bump and destroyed my front fender on it. Front fenders are not easy to come by. Still searching.
Wow... musta been some "bump"!
