Title: Fairing Lowers
Post by: DriftAway on April 09, 2023, 14:07:45 PM
I'm searching for a Drifter (had one several years ago, sold it, now I want one back).  I searched the forums for putting fairing lowers on the 1500, came up empty.

I want to add music to my ride when I find it, I'd like to put lowers with speakers.

Advice?

Don't know if any of the Harley lowers will match up to a Drifter bar.  I have a Batwing for a 1500 classic that I mounted on my 1500 Drifter (modified the mounting brackets and put a Classic upper triple tree on for that purpose).  I use a marine Pioneer stereo and marine 6x9 speakers....I can really crank the music when I want. I also use a blue-tooth ear phone setup in my modular cold weather helmet.  Not as good sounding as the speakers but better for phone use.

Can a Harley Bar be modified for the Drifter?  I'm trying to keep from putting on an upper fairing if I can.

Don't know about Harley, might be easier to adapt Nomad or other Kaw cruiser lower fairings. 

The following links may help you.
