Great looking and sounding set-up.
I have a set of new CF Area P cans that were for my ZX14. Really thought about doing the same thing but ordered the V&H Pro Pipe instead. I couldn't resist the 2 into 1 of the pro pipe. Hope to install it this weekend.

Pipes sound and look great. That Vaquero fairing must do a pretty good job. If I tried to ride 75 mph with my factory shield and no eye protection, I'd be blinded with tears.

You must have something not quite set up right. With the stock windshield, I could ride all day (at any speed) and never feel much on my face. All I'd get would be the buffetting around the helmet area. Once I got some larger lowers, I wouldn't even feel that.

![]() Doesn't really matter. I put a batwing on it yesterday. Still won't ride without eye protection though. I feel naked without something covering my eyes.

Jay,
I have been waiting to hear how your experiment turned out... I likey very much! Great job man.... I really like the look as well and can't wait to see how you flow the heat shields into the new mufflers. Keep thinkin outside of the box.... |

I have a taller than stock shield, but I would have preferred to have my glasses too. Somehow I got away without them. |

As we were leaving, my wife following me in the car, and me at a slow rolling speed, I revv'ed it and dropped the clutch. The front wheel came off the ground a few inches and off she went. The Nomad would spin the tire in that scenario, but my conclusion is the same: don't do that. . . .at least not often ![]()

Good catch! It's off to High Octane HydroGraphics getting a carbon fiber print.

OK. I just saw your videos and your work! I'm thouroughly impressed! Whenever I upgrade my Nomad for a blue Vaquero, I'm bringing it to you so you can do the same mods for me! Great job!!!!! I love the way it looks and sounds!
