Nomad not selling

In my opinion, the most attractive view of the Nomad is a photo shot from the left rear quarter, like my signature pic. It shows the bags and dual exhaust and that fat rear end.

Also, get the...

Best Payment Method

Cash is great, but even that could be suspect. When I sold my last bike, I met the buyer at his credit union and they cut the check for me and notarized the paperwork. You could do that at your bank...

Mine are not for sale and chaps are sized by thigh, not waist. They have belts in the back and front that make them infinitely adjustable for your waist.

I think I may have a problem

Your scenario is 5th gear at 50mph going up a hill and you're getting pinging when you roll on the throttle.

Yep, I'd be surprised if you didn't get pinging - that's really lugging the engine! You...

I agree with everything in your post. I'd do exactly the same thing.

Yeah, even with the Rollastand, you still have the issue of the Nomad's exhaust and saddlebags in the way of the rear wheel - the rear wheel is pretty much sitting on the floor. If you don't mind...
