I'd love to keep her as well, but Momma says no.. So she's got to go.

On a side note, I couldnt figure out how to post in the classifieds, so if your in TX and interested, my ad can be found here: sanantonio.craigslist.org/mcy/d/san-antonio-1999-drifter-1500/7077347703.html

Moving on to a bagger, so I wont be around.. Learned a TON from this site, so it'll be bittersweet. My 99 1500 will be up for grabs if anyone is interested, feel free to email me at wolfsix@protonmail.com for details.

Speedo cable broke an cant seem to find a definitive part number for the Nomad cable.. My Drifter is a '99, what cable should I buy?

Been a while since I posted, now that its riding weather and I've been able to get some handlebar time I'm reminded of a few mods I've been wanting to look into. Hope you guys can help.

Recently removed the baffles of my Vance and Hines long shots and added a hyper charger and now get backfires on deceleration and when I let off the throttle. I've been looking into various fuel management systems. Which do ya'll recommend?

Also, what other performance mods are available for the Drifter it make her a little more snappy and responsive?

Can anyone tell me if the 800 radiator covers will fit the 1500? If not, can someone point me in the right direction to find one with an Indian head for the 1500... preferably in black?

I'll take em if they are still available.

Anyone recently do this mod: http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/vhbag.html ?

If so, can we get some additional pics posted on how everything went together? In the write up, the author made no mention of having to modify the pipes. Yet, another mbr that did it said he had to cut a section of the crossover pipe out and have it re-welded. I'm not against doing this, but would like to see some pics of how it was modded...

seems the 7" ones are the answer, and the speedo visor is going to be hard to find now....keep looking......

What about the size for the spotlights? I measured the headlight and came up with 6.5 inches, measuring the spots and they're 4.75 inches, so a 5" visor?

Anyone have the sizes for the lights so I can try to find some universal ones for my Drifter. Would also like to add one to the speedo housing..

Saw one of these not too long ago at the tax office. Nice bike, but doesnt look like an Indian.

Posted this in the electrical section but didnt get much of a hit...

I've looked through the wiring diagram as well as tested quite a few wires and cant seem to locate one in the location I want. Can anyone tell me what wire I can tap into that is located in battery area/fuse panel area that will give me 12v when the key is on and when its turned all the way to keep the parking lights on? I've found a constant hot as well as when the key is turned to on, but not when its turned to the parking lights as well..

FYI. I'm installing a stereo system and want to be able to listen not only while riding, but when parked as well without it being constantly powered even when the key isnt on.

Hope that made sense...

Not really sure where to place this thread since its not really a repair or troubleshooting..

I have a light bar on my Drifter, although it only stays on with the regular beam. If I turn on my high beam, the light bar turns off. How can I have it stay on all the time?

what's "Drift-In"?

Thanks for the warm welcome! One thing in particular I'd like to do come spring is a multi state ride over the course of a few days. Any recommendations as to where to go from San Antonio and be able to see some really nice landscapes?

Tried to link a picture to the original post, not sure how to do it. Here's a link though!

Hello All,

Long story short, my riding buddy bought a drifter a couple of years back when he got into riding and I've always liked his bike. Decided to look for one myself and found what is now sitting in my garage.. 99', Drifter with 7400 miles on her. Previous owner was an older gentleman that purchased her new and unfortunately couldnt ride so he decided to part with her. Had to make a small change to the bars to make them more comfortable and added some new tires a the originals were still on here and now she's ready to ride. I look forward to cruising many miles on her.
