Lower Deflectors for Lightbar

**Bamabrat** · 08-26-2013, 02:08 PM

Has anyone installed lowers with a setup like mine? Will Chuckster's lowers work with my current setup? I don't have the brackets (PO must have removed them), so I either need to find a cheap set or make my own. Any help is appreciated. With Winter approaching, I could use a set of lowers. pics of my setup attached (2001 Nomad 1500). You can see there is room between the fork brackets and the lightbar.

Lowers work with nomad factory crash bars. Your crash bars don't look factory.
Do you have the brackets for the lowers?
Chuckster sells the plexiglass lowers only.

You have the exact same bike that I have, same year and color. I found a set of lowers and brackets on ebay and that worked fine with my lightbar. However, the turn signals will be fairly close, but they clear.

Your bars are the same as mine, stock bars for the 1500, they were changed on the 1600. I used the brackets and made my own lowers, larger and made of metal. I have the old plastic if you want it, just find a bracket on ebay. You could use the plastic as a template and have your own made if you wanted to.

bike when I bought it.

Now with lowers:

Do you remember the brand, or who made them? Even better, could you take a pic of yours and post it? Thank you.
