Description: A fender rack designed to fit behind a solo saddle on 800 and 1500 Drifters that is a copy of the original Indian racks from the 40's and 50's. You can see one mounted on a Chief in the photo, and Kiwi still lists them in their catalogue.


These are new units, chrome or gloss black powder coated, and include complete hardware and mounting instructions. The black finish is very distinctive, reflecting a post WWII bike when chrome was not available, and adds a very nostalgic touch to the Drifter. This is not a passenger seat, but functional for a small bag, roll pack, or strapped on items up to 10 lbs.


There is one on my 1500 Drifter in the photo. I do carry a 32" duffle bag with full camping gear that weights between 25-30 lbs. The weight is distributed evenly between the rack and saddle bag supports on each side, and over 30K mile of hard riding with this setup has shown no fender damage or problems. Also, the low center of gravity with the load in this position helps handling and doesn't effect gas mileage like a pack sticking up to catch the wind.
