I see what your gettin at but it just looks like he put a fairing and a trunk on his Nomad to me. They are very nice riding bikes, probably just wanted a few more creature comforts on his ride, thats all. I'll keep my Classic though. I'd buy a Nomad maybe, but wouldn't fix it up like that. My 1600 Classic was really just a Nomad w/o the bags and it was as comfy and smooth as my Harley Classic on the highway but a bit cumbersome at slow speeds.

I think the Nomad is one of the better looking Metric baggers, in stock configuration.

I happen to think the Nomad is a pretty nice bike. Especially for the money.

If I was not on a Harley, more than likely thats what I would be riding. Fairing, Trunk, lowers, and all. Except I would try to find a trunk from a Yamaha RSV to put on, it would match with the Nomads Saddlebags better than the square HD style tourpak.

BTW, most of that stuff probably came from a Canadian company called Premeux. They specialize in batwings, trunks, and lowers for nomads (and are now branching out into other bikes)

I think it looks pretty good. As long as he's happy and on 2 wheels all is good.

You know, the gauges on this are definitely ghetto-style. That was one helluva mix-n-match of gauges. Other than that not too bad. My first bike was a Kaw and I really liked it. But I love my Harley!

Nice try, but it still isn't a Harley.

I like Nomad's... but that one was ruined. The lines aren't the same.
