My new Kawasaki Drifter is delivered 

That should be a fun bike when you finish it. I see some fenders on eBay occasionally. Good luck with the build and show it to us when you get finished!

That's cool Lon! Send me a picture of yours. klua92@gmail.com

I really like how they look, ride, and sound!

Love this bike!

Oh yeah Steve! Love how cool this bike looks and how nice it sounds.

Hi, I paid $4500. You should be able to find one pretty close to that price.

Ben, I see a bunch of aftermarket Drifter lightbars on eBay.

Just like an Indian Chief but much, much cheaper

I'm pretty sure Kawasaki didn't paint the classic Indian logo on the tank. I think the Drifter came with a metal tank badge that said Vulcan Drifter. Whoever redid this Drifter added some genuine Indian items to the Kawasaki to make it look even more authentic. The 90's and early 2000 Chiefs, I believe were made in Gilroy, CA. My best friend had a Gilroy Indian. They were customized softails with an S&S motor and Indian fenders and parts. It was a okay facsimile, but underneath it was mostly a softail and you could see it. After the Gilroy Indian business went under, Polaris secured the rights to the name and produces a pretty cool Indian now. The Polaris Indians sort of remind me of the Gilroy Indians in that the basis of the bike is a softail platform. The cool thing about the Polaris Indian is motor which looks very nice to me.

@@elvisslo that’s pretty awesome. I’ve heard of the Gilroy’s but never really looked too much into them. I have a Springfield. I was looking to customize it and was looking at older Indians for ideas. It has been quite confusing with the different makes and stuff. I didn’t realize that Polaris just bought the Indian only fairly recently. Guess I gotta look a bit deeper into it. Thanks for the info.

Russ, that's actually a Kawasaki Drifter not a real Indian. Kawasaki did a nice job at capturing the look and feel of an old Indian in the Drifter 800.
