1999 Drifter
I saw this 1999 Drifter with about 56000 miles at the Indianola Bike Night last Friday. Must have been Vulcan riders since the other two next to it were a classic and older Vulcan from the 80’s. It has a little sticker on the windshield that said,” If you value your ass as much as I value my bike, don’t fuck with it” So I just had my wife stand next to it and took a picture!

Nice bike but just not my cup of tea. Love my Nomad. I am not big on the fringes.... Mine has them on the handlebars but only because the PO put them there.

Great looking ride. I love it that you had your wife stand there.
Check this one out. http://burlington.craigslist.org/mcy/3816633979.html

I like the second one better, and it seems fairly priced as well.

Why would he list it as a 2006 Indian? He could put blue oval badges on it and that wouldn't make it a Ford.

I don't understand why the owners of Drifters want to label them as Indians.
They are Kawasaki Drifters. You see Drifters all the time with Indian head fender lights and Indian decals. My Drifter is a Drifter and is labeled as such.

I couldn't agree with you more, it kills me to see a drifter with the indian logo on the tank.

My bike seen here sports Indian fender tip, fender light and air cleaner cover, Osprey Travelleer style bags, Indian shift knob on the hand shifter, Harley fairing, risers, grip fringe & trunk, TravelHorse saddle (no longer available), and, by this point, the Cobra exhaust referenced above had been replaced by Roadhouse Dooleys, along with assorted Fire & Steel accessories, and later, Zambini Bros Indian tank emblems were added, the bike having been personalized from various sources. But the one thing that does not appear on the bike is the Indian name given that the IMC did not manufacture it.

Try to keep up Gerry.
I was talkin about my Drifter and posted a pic of my Drifter. I have no idea how Jared got in there. He must have photoshoped the pic. He is pretty good with the photography thing.

I've always liked the look of the Drifter...except for the a$$-ugly two-up seat. When they are set up solo, they look good.
