I told my wife, "Almost finished dear!" & Thanks Everyone!!

Well, it has been a two year project, maybe three since I lost track, but I think I am pretty much finished with mods on my Nad, for a while. It is one-of-a-kind and I can call it mine.
Today I finished up the CC100 cruise control and took it for a little ride, it worked awesome! I can't wait to take it for an extended trip. As you can see, I ended up mounting it on the left side where the original air cleaner was. The throttle cable was looped twice between the jugs and so far I am pleased with the setup. All I may do is to add a chrome cover (like a horn cover) to hide it, maybe.

First I wanted to thanks a lot of you on this forum, I wouldn't have tackled all of the mods that I did without advice and help from you guys.

Second, I wanted to thank Gadget's Fix-it page for help, guidance, and ideas.

Thirdly I wanted to thank Vulcanbagger, this website brought me together with you guys and pointed me to Gadget's site. I am proud to be a paying member here, If I would have had any of this done at a shop, well, it wouldn't have been done. Everything except what the Previous Owner did was by my hands. (Yup, to me, working on it is almost as much fun as riding it.) (I said, "Almost as much fun.")

We also have links to "Modifications Anonymous" and "Chromaholics"...

I'll bet you either have NOT told your wife all that you have done to the bike, or you haven't told what it costs!

Seriously though... sounds like you had fun doing these mods.

Now... get out and ride some!

Impressive to say the least. Hopefully someday I can accomplish just some of those mods. I agree with you about this Forum, for it is the best out there, bar none!

Yup, I need help... When I started making the list I really didn't think it was that going to be that long. I am looking up Mod~Anonymous in a few moments.

You would win that bet! She thinks I am in the shop cleaning the bugs off the windsheild. Honestly, I am not sure what the total would be, and at this point I don't think I even want to know.

The open road is a calling!!
