Hi Pete... I also tried a screen (home made) on my bike and found that without 'lowers'the wind was a pain. With the lowers however it was pretty good...
Hi Steve... I agree with you mate, the brakes are crap! I've also had a problem on two occasions where my rear brake has lost all power due to overheating!...
Hi Steve, It may be me you read about. Last Friday (can't believe I've had the Drifter a week already!) I swapped the Yammy Wildstar for a 1500 Drifter. I have...

I might be repeating what has already been said as I haven't read all the e-mail's. Visited the Haynes web site today they have the Drifter manual along with...
To anyone interested, I contacted Mustang Europe, they e-mailed back: 212 Euro's for a black seat cover (fringes/studs/conches) from Belgium. That includes all...
Hi Andy... I think you're getting me mixed up with MIKE DEMPSEY who you met at the ABC Rally? - He's definitely the mad one!! He hasn't been around for ages...
Hi Mike... Thanks for the info. In addition to what you have said about libraries, some libraries also let you photocopy the pages you want for a small charge...
Hi Peter... Another option that might be worth considering is to have the original seat reworked. I got mine done for £100 by Celtic Bike Seats in Wales....
Thanks Mick, I'll consider them all. I'm off for a look at yours, the two-tone one sounds interesting. Regards, Pete. PS: Glad you didn't take my comments...
Will Shaun stand up - or anyone else with a two-tone seat - please? Then point me in the direction of a picture of your bike with it on. Cheerz, Pete....

No problem Pete.... The fairing suits me, although I accept that it's not for everyone. Regards Mick ... one sounds interesting. ... No put down intended mate....

The great debate about what to do with your Drifter comes up from time to time. It seems that Pete Robinson, like myself are compleatly "Indianising" our...
Er, I know it's a shaft and no chain! I was asking about the petrol tap, doh! I'm totally new to the world of Kawasaki's. So not familiar with their...
Hello Signgirl! I'm not called Phil, though I understand people further north have trouble spelling :-) so perhaps you spell Pete, like that up there? At least...
I agree with Signboy. I bought my bike after reading the history of Indians and being sick of hearing that you're not a motorcyclist unless you have a Harley...
Hi Pete The photos of the bag supports on my J1 are on their way to you. You will find no petrol tap on the fuel injected 1500: no carburettors, so no need to...
As for the Indian debate... I make no bones about the fact that I ride a Kawasaki. It is reliable, powerful, comfortable, shaft driven, handles well and the...
