I'm putting the windshield on my 06 800 Drifter now as I watch your video I'm making spacers out of two sections of crushed garden hose my bike is almost exactly like yours same similar solo seat same color everything
Nice I've got almost The Identical bike I picked it up a couple of weeks ago in southern Missouri Ozarks I've seen a handful of these come up for sale this year and at a great price and beautiful condition mine is a 2006 VN 800 5ooo,mi,,, Indian Drifter .I love the fishtail pipes but I don't have them I will probably have to make my own rear crash bars they are a must keep the bike off the ground when dropped. and I've been riding all my life I'm 68 years young but I have a spinal cord injury from falling off of motorcycles and HORSES,N MORE😢HAVE SPINAL CORD INJURY that's 30 years old already. so I have weak legs paralyzed ankles metal rods up my back😮 but this is one of the heaviest bikes I've ever owned and that's a new learning curve.. but I love the old Indian look, how else could a man afford the old school bike Harley or Indians without being rich ? that's why it was either now or never. UNLESS when we get to heaven I can build a motorcycle and Island hop from planet to planet someday😊. I love your bike, thanks for sharing I wish you would have sounded the pipes with a little REV . also where can I get parts what's the best place ?
I have this same bike. Love what you have done to it. Were the rear crash bars an exact fit? Wheel covers are something I haven't seen before and they look great.
@@LeatherSkin1955 the crash bars came off a 96 Vulcan classic and had to be modified to fit. Seat rail is a for a Harley and also had to be modified to fit
You should get know the story of the Drifter’s origins. It’s a very interesting story. In short family member of the Indian motorcycle company designed this bike to look like a 48 Chief.

@@gigrigs the crash bars came off at 96 Vulcan classic and we’re not an exact fit.

whered you get the spoke covers boss?
From the UK custom made by Malcolm Wilson. You gotta join the Vulcan Drifter Riders group on FB to get custom parts.
Is this bike an Indian or Kawasaki?
It's a Kawasaki with a bunch of Indian decals and Indian-looking accessories... To each their own I guess 🤷🏽♂️

It’s not a chief and Kawasaki has nothing to do with Indian motorcycles it’s not a joint collaboration bike
In 1999 Indian designers collaborated with Kawasaki to create Drifters. They were designed to look like a 48 super chief.
