Vulcan Emblem and Passenger Footrest Covers

[RISTON]

Spent most of the afternoon on the internet and talking to a couple of companies regarding putting the Vulcan emblem on the backrest of my 1700 Nomad and adding passenger footrest covers (chrome plated).

First of all, these p/n "do not" show up for the 2010/2011 Vulcan Nomad 1700 anywhere. For those interested here's p/n, prices and internet companies:
- chrome plated passenger footrest covers #14091-0229 $4.45/ea
plus shipping $1.75 (PowersportsPlus.com)
- Vulcan Emblem #56052-0325 & #56052-0852. What's the
difference? One is shiny and one is dull (Lessons Motors). $25 + shipping

Hope this helps!

I would imagine they are just 2008 or prior part numbers as those were one of the first things I noticed missing on the 2009 Nomad. That and the chrome shield behind the wind shield that bolted to the top of the forks.

Was just looking for something like that for my own bike and came across this item which I think looks nice, its a Nomad emblem for either the front fender or both sides of the bike as you can see in the photos. The only thing is it seems you'd have to buy two of them!

I think you could find those emblems cheaper than that place. I'd like to have a couple for the front fender or the saddle bags. You might be able to find some for a Chevy Nomad and use those. Some auto parts stores around the US will carry emblems like that. Not sure about your area.

Good thinking mobandy, I'm on the case

My "Nomad" emblem is one for a 1957 Chevy Nomad tailgate. It is an OEM old stock item that I found at a mom & pop parts store for about $29.

Here's one that looks the same and its only $9! I am sure it's not an original like yours at that price but still it would probably do the job!

I had a pair of the gold Nomad emblems on my bike, they were bought on Ebay for $39.00 a few years ago.

Any ideas for fastening the emblem to the backrest - name of glue or tape?

I bought the emblem for the '08 Nomad and put it on my '09 Nomad. It comes with what looks like Butyl tape which should hold for the life of the bike when applied properly.

I've always had good luck with 3M double sided tape. You can find it at most hardware stores and auto part stores. You'd have to do a lot of cutting and trimming though.

Other than that, maybe some gorilla glue might be a better option.

Received chrome passenger footrest covers in U.S. mail today for 2011 1700 Nomad. Once I located the correct screwdriver, it was a 2 minute job - off with the plastic and on with the chrome. Total cost including shipping $10.20
