the one thing I do not like about my 1500 Drifter are the mirrors. Has anyone changed out the mirrors before on a 99? I do not like how high they are and wanted some low fi ones that come up just over the handle bars and maybe out past the hand grips just a hair. I would love to mount some underneath but obviously that wont work because it would smash the tank. thanks in advance if anyone offers some info
I used these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Aluminum-Rearview-Mirror-for-Kawasaki-VN-Vulcan-Classic-Nomad-Drifter-1500/324029874074?fits=Make%3AKawasaki&hash=item4b71af7f9a:g:VV4AAOSwhBFeDaUH
Been searching for something appropriate for years. Tried some 'golf club' mirrors and like how they looked but they're so small they were basically useless.
I have these. I like the look, but they vibrate more than the stock ones

I felt the same, so I looked at some old Indians and found this mirror, which I have been using on my 2002 for many years. They aren't black, however.

A little late to the party, but these are the ones I got for my bike. I think they look pretty good with the styling of the drifter, and are black. It looks like they're not made anymore possibly? and are getting harder to find unfortunately, but can still be found a few places. I really like mine, and haven't had any issues with them.

Mine came with those as well - they look like a nickel finish.
I like 'em! :)
