highway bar / engine guard

Wow... musta been some "bump"!

Make sure to avoid any bar designed for the classic with a cross piece at the bottom. I made the mistake of putting one on assuming it would be fine as it came from another drifter owner. I hit a good bump and destroyed my front fender on it. Front fenders are not easy to come by. Still searching.

Lindby is nice, but not retro... the round is more true to the design... there are a ton of pegs available as well.... they don't spread much (try a goldwing! that's a stretch!) But the good thing about the drifter is the 1001 variations that can impact the look of the bike!

I like the Lindy Linbar.

Check it out, with this you can avoid using those highway pegs that make you spread your legs like you are delivering a baby, you can elevate your feet and stay close to the bike.
Anyway I love the look and functionality of these highway bars, check them out.
I think the regular rounded stock bars take away from the look compared to the Lindy.
Good luck,

thank you.

No not all fit... Any year 1500 Drifter will fit.

Look in the accessories area for Engine Guards... and look in the mods/tips in the Info/reference area for the cross reference stuff. Go to the website and click the buttons.

do all 1500 vulcans fit the drifter ? if not....which ones fit?
