Indiana Drifter Rider

pcarrell · 10-31-2012, 01:22 PM

So I got an invite (thanks DR1600) to come check out this site. Haven't seen it all yet, but it looks GREAT!

My name is Philip, and I live in Indiana. I ride a 2001 Kawasaki Drifter 1500. I've been working on it for some time now, but I've got a ways to go. I'll probably lean on you all for info from time to time as I work to make my ride more of what I had in mind.....hard bags and a fairing are next on the hit list. In the meantime, here's a pic for ya!

I just posted in your other thread but welcome to the madness.
That is the first Drifter I have seen with a trunk.

Welcome from Ohio. Unique looking Drifter, good luck with the fairing install.

Welcome from Oklahoma. Alot of good info here

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. Seems like a real friendly group here!

Jasper, I used to live in Hudson, Ohio, not to far from you.

Lived in CT, FL, WY, and CA for a while too.

That trunk is off of an old shovelhead HD. I thought it looked pretty good. I was originally going to go with another trunk (for sale now), but I liked this better. The hardbags and fairing will go a long way towards completing the look.
