Hello, after 10 years of abstinence, I'm back. I bought a Drifter again. This time a 1500. I hope there are still a few of the old ones, otherwise all new ones a warm welcome.

Sorry for hijackin' this post...
To Drifter1946: Hi Bud, I came across an old post of yours over this Forum, about relocating the ignition switch. Is that friend of yours still sellin' a kit? I'm really interested in buyin' one for ma-deuce (1999 Drifter 800). I've already sent a PM to you (one year ago...), but no answer at all! 
Thanx

I have mounted it with myself and it was very easy. No holes bored, only the orginal screws against 6 mm LED `S. exchanged.
Work one hour. But care, the LED `S. must be equipped with diodes.

[no problem, for more then one jear and more then 10.000km no heating problems, the motor is running well Reiner]

Do you realize that you're cooling your exhaust manifold using hot, waste air from your radiator and moving both of their heat into the base of your front cylinder??  Never seen anyone put a manifold in front of the engine.
Just curious; beautiful pipe work,
