It says its meant for the classic, but is it cross compatible with my 2005 drifter 800? I can't find anything else even remotely close to a comparable price here in Canada. Of course, I seem to never find any good info when I try to search this site either. Maybe someone here could point in a better direction to get the 18/38 setup for my bike

Shortly after I bought my 800 drifter a decade ago, I came off a high curb a bit too hard and pretty much wrecked the entire back end of the bike. I tried to save as much of the parts as I could, but ended up having to replace the taillight, signal lights and exhaust. I did end up being able to reuse the fender stay (the rail around the fender) but had to cut off the part that the signal lights attached to. I have been wanting to get another rear stay to replace everything there and make it all look stock again, but everywhere I find the rear fender stay listed as a part for sale, they either don't have it in stock, or they won't ship to Canada. I'm starting to get frustrated by this. I don't suppose anyone has a lead on where I could possibly find one to replace mine? And the signal lights and brake light and license plate bracket as well. Or possibly a better way to modify the rear end of the bike than the way I have it. I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi VDR. Im Antiping. I have always had a fascination with Drifters and when I was presented with an opportunity to own one about 10 years ago I jumped on it. A 2005 silver/black VN800E imported from the US to AB Canada. I've ridden it every since. There has been some ups and downs over the years, but she is the most reliable machine I have ever had and I wouldn't give her up for anything now.
