    I really love this bike, I remember Kawasaki coming out with the drifters and they really got the classic Indian look right, and I have a 1928 101 Indian which my father bought in 1937 when he was 21 so I am an Indian man and you have done a great job with this bike.

      It will sound good with Vance & Hines Longshots. I've had 3 Kawasaki 1500s, 2 now, needed parts. I'm running V&H Bigshots and Cobra Drag pipes.

    I had a VN 800 same color but was not a drifter, Vulcan Classic and loved that bike. Had Vance and Hines Cruzer pipes and sounded really good. I now have 4 Indians and love them as well. Had Mustang seat and could ride all day no problem, very dependable bike and had plenty of power.

Could you or anyone PLEASE tell me the make of a compatible solo seat that will fit the vn800 as I can't find one anywhere and even the local Kawasaki dealership can't locate an appropriate seat?! Many thanks if anyone can help.

    Thats a great bike. But respectfully, I dont see how you guys can put Indian badges and decals on what is a Kawasaki with Indian styling parts. Yeah, it looks a lot like an Indian but I think it would still be ok to call it what it is, a (Indian style) Kawasaki.

Apart from a mustang seat on the 800 I currently own, the biggest improvement I've made to the bike is the installation of 5.5in risers. With that seat and those risers you can ride all day.
