Wasn't gonna do it but..

When I got the Nomad, I told myself I wasn't gonna spend all the money I did on my last bike and just keep it stock. Silly me. Anywho, I added the bag top rails, Kury ISO grips, Vista Cruise and clear lenses all away around.

Yeah, that sounds familiar ::)
When I bought the Nomad I said it has everything I want on the bike already. I won't need to spend any money on accesories. :-/
$1400 later and not done yet

I hear you...
I told myself that the Nomad came stock with everything it needed. Wrong! A person has to customize a bike, no matter what it comes with. I've added a few things, and I'm not done yet!

And when customizing the bike wasn't enough...I'm building a trailer. I should have gotten hooked on dope, it's probably cheaper!

Looks nice. I see you've done "bafflectomy surgery" also.

I bought the Nomad because it didn't need anything---all included---and my wife is still laughing, well, she's not clubbing me yet.

Me too. I thought, I would just leave it stock. Then I read on KawaNow about how great something is and now I am at $1500 since April.

My wife said you saved your money to buy a Harley and bought the Nomad instead, so now just spend the rest of the money on bling. I guess I need to get a diamond studded tachometer or a golden pair of risers.

Just be thankful there aren't more accessories available for Nomads......or if you owned a Harley....then you're talking serious money!!
