Congrats ... beautiful looking bike!

Good work Shunter...bike looks awesome.

GB-when you gonna send me those rear turn signal lenses? ...with support brackets.

Now, my bike would look pretty naked with no rear lights.....

[RockinRollin]

No problem, I will order the night hawks and just try to be careful with them.

Does TJ have any more of the metal ones or know where to get them?

sorry rockinronny i only had the 1 set...came with the bike.

[shunter v8]

I will stand corrected here but I think he only had the one set as I bought a full set from him headlight,spotlights and turn signals. If I am right they were the fire and steel brand which is no longer available new. I was looking for quite a while but they did turn up in the end so hopefully you will find some.

Ratman where is your sense of humour gone it was a joke lol. Ronny I managed to get a set of metal visors from TJ the highway hawk visors do look good I was just breaking them off in the garage as I have too many bikes in there. Thanks for all your kind comments we are very pleased with the end result.

i was only kidding!

[RockinRollin]

Shunter, I found your post on turn signal visors, did you go with the plastic highway hawks?
They certainly look good.

I was only trying to help Malcolm out but would pass if that is needed. I was not in it for the money I was not making anything on the parts. It was just easier for Malcolm to ship to a central location. So if someone wants make money on the parts so be it. There was not going to be any competition on my part.

[shunter v8]

Greenbarn the rear boards are renegade they were on it when I bought her,I wonder why you suggest changing the colours around lol. TJ I may have to speak to uncle malcolm and make you the Canadian distributor as well just so ratman has a bit of competition. Ronny as ratman said you will have to be patient but it will be worth the wait uncle malcolms gear is very good.

[tj]

sir ratman was going to be the Canadian distributor.

looks like he will have a corner on the market!

[Trall]

She's a beauty.  Great looks and paint colors........

[CDNRatMan]

  Yup back on the road in time for your Birthday....makes for a nice present eh! So now that you are older then GB means he needs to be nice to you as an elder....lol.......perhaps your fantastic loving spouse will let you go for ride on your birthday.......

[greenbarn]

That's a DARNED nice looking ride, SHunter...  I do like a 2-toned Drifter!!   I'll have to admit, I do not miss the skulls...

I think the only improvement you could have made, was maybe reverse the 2-tone....   

What passenger floorboards do you have on there??  They look real nice, and that's something folks are often looking for.

[shunter v8]

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments. Tommy,uncle malcolm was saying he was stopping making bespoke drifter items but was looking to sell off what he had and sir ratman was going to be the Canadian distributor. I did think about whitewalls but felt they may clash with the cream paint on the fenders. It was Andrea who chose the colour scheme I had my doubts at first but she has got it spot on and she loves it.

[CDNRatMan]

 And how does your much better half like the new looks?

[pcarrell]

That's a fine looking scoot there!

[tj]

looks great shunter...she's a beauty!

[Old Drifter]

Looks much better now, great job!

[CDNRatMan]

  Simply brilliant, You could not get rid of the skeleton side stand could you....lol......the only thing to make it nicer would be WWW.
The front and rear Uncle Ronny have spoke covers on them, I am waiting for Uncle Malcolm to get back to me with some parts he wants to sell over here. I have asked for 4 to 5 front hub covers, so if you can wait we will see what he comes up with.....

[RockinRollin]

Nothing like 2 tone paint on a Drifter, my favorite anyways. I'm working on mine as we speak. Hard to beat a Corbin seat. I have the Corbin solo on the way. Almost went for a Singh seat but the Corbin's just fit better.
Are my eyes playing tricks, you have a solid front rim? Awesome!
Would your uncle Malcolm who made the front hub be interested in making another?

[shunter v8]

All the skulls are grim reapers have gone its been repainted. I would like to thank Greenbarn for his help with the Corbin,also TJ for the visors I had been looking for and could not find. I also got the light bar and spots from a very nice guy on eBay bit I never found out if he was on the forum. The pictures do not give a true likeness of the red but it is a beautiful shade and really suits the image of the bike. Uncle Malcolm on the uk forum made the polished wheel Covers and Centre hub cover also the polished rectifier cover. I must not forget Mr ratman who is always willing to help. We got out on our first decent ride today and all went well a couple of minor teething faults but all sorted now.
