I had it once at 35-40 MPH, both hands off the bars. Stock windshields, empty trunk, MC trires front and rear. Never wobbled any other time as long as I keep one hand on the grips.

I'll join the choir. Have patience or put the stock bars back on until you can get the brake line you need. Front brakes are the difference in stopping in 130 feet at 60 MPH vs. 250 feet or so.

I've never given thought to the Nomad copying another bike. I've had mine for four years and I see it today just as I did when I bought it. To me it's one of the most, if not the most eye pleasing...
