2000 Classic turned into Nomad
Guys-
I seem to recall, or maybe my memory is just playing tricks on me, a post about a guy that took a 2000cc Classic LT and made it into something similar to a Nomad- adding the Nomad bags, etc. It seemed to me he even widened the original bags. I think the guy lived overseas, too. Maybe I am getting this mixed up with the guy that has that baby-blue/white Nomad and trailer... Anyone recall a project like this? Thanks.

Nice job Lasse! They sure do make great looking nomads. Yep, I really like the color too.

I think preacher may have gone to a HD. Is he on the delphi board?

They really look nice with bags and trunk on them. Here is one I found for sale with Harley Bags on it. $6995.00 is the asking price.

Maybe it's just the angle the photo was taken from, but the bags look like they are mounted too high.

I don't think its the angle. I agree with you the bags are way too high. I guess he went with " easiest place to hang them" instead of the "right place to hang them". Would have looked much better in the right spot.
