I also forgot.
There's NO chance the engine bars would interfere when attached to a shifter as it SHOULD go under the tank area by spark plug. Look at Drifter Shifter By Ted and look at all the pics and you'll see in all actuality the shifter comes nowhere near the down tubes nor where the engine bars connects. Just saying.
JMHO

Mine are connected on a piece between the floor board and the frame and on a piece that is above the radiaitor but it has a small pc with two holes coming down and the engine guard connects to it.
I have a heal/toe shifter and there's NO issue with it even being close to creating an issue with shifter.
I also have a suicide shifter on with no issues.
JMHO and how we mounted it. Sorry if others have had issue, I have not.
Hope this helps.

Yes. I am saying the engine guards are one and the same. I have a 96 Vulcan and a 2001 Drifter that I've redone to tribute the Indian Chieftain. I have the same engine guard bars in both. I had another Vulcan and sold to friend to help him out and he didn't like the engine guard so I put it on the Drifter/Indian I was building.
If I could figure out how to downsize photos I'd include pictures.
Hope this helps.

Also. Instead of metal band inside tire I've always used wide electrical tape and wrap over spoke ends as I wrap inside three times.
Also get Quickshine99. Best ever! Use on chrome, paint, glass etc. no road tar, bugs etc anymore. Clean with just water.
What I also do is put a lil in a rag and wipe over white wall area only and you'll never have a problem keeping em white.
Hope this helps.

130/90/16 front
140/90/16 rear
Dunlop Elite wide white wall.
My buddy has over 12000 miles on his and still isn't down half way yet. He says trick is to split what psi bike calls for and the tire calls for. He's running 34 front n 36 rear, with passenger he ups it to 38 on rear or if looooong ride he bumps front up two pds too.

Sorry. Btw you can get a light visor that'll fit over speedometer. That's what I've done.
Since my mods etc to the drifter/Indian I've not ridden my HD.
Also you can get HD parts or any bike cheap at Banggood.com
HD parts actually come in an orange n black box just like HD except doesn't have the name in the shield. Has shield and EVERYTHING just not HD through middle of shield. Cousin works at York HD plant and has said for YEARS that parts are made overseas. They can put American made cause the packaging is.

You can get a quick detach sissy bar with or without a luggage rack that mounts directly to the grab bar.
Wife has never had a problem with sliding forward on seat. I modified mine and put a small air ride shock on bottom of seat.

I have a classic and drifter and parts are interchangeable. Also 01 Drifter I've been able to put ALOT of the Indian Chieftain parts on because they basically used the Indian blueprint for the chieftain for their 01 Drifter 800e

Could someone explain how to lower size in photos so I can post pics of mine please.

Nice job!! As soon as I can figure out how to post pics I'll show ya mine. I airbrushed the Indian war inner on the tank and used Indian Scarlet red with cream n gold accents.
