should have had it on 2 weeks ago if he had done what he said it seems nobody cares anymore

Yeh I hear ya, the last painter that painted my VTX fairing, had it 2+ weeks, and never even touched it, then I had to take it to another painter, who had it 2+ weeks, and charged me $600 between the prep work and paint

This time around, the Reckless need no, or little prep work, and when the painted told me around two weeks, I told him to give it back to me, I'll shoot it myself, LOL

He then said a week at the latest, and gave it back to me 4 days later :)

I think the body shops are wanting the big insurance jobs and our little jobs are just headaches for them

Looks really good. Glad they finally got it painted right for you!!! should look really good on the bike, and provide a lot of extra storage and functionality to your bike.
Post pics once it's on the bike and all finished.

How long did they tell you to wait before putting a wax coat on? If you give it a month (before you install it) you maybe able to wax it OFF the bike like where it is now and maybe easier?? Especially in those hard to reach places and while sitting comfortably

[nomadtom69]

He did not say anything about waxing heck I was lucky to get it back I should have left all the junk off of it and waited a month and waxed it but I just had to see what its going to look like I have some more lid chrome to put on it he left the edge of the lid ruff and will have to cover it some way.

You could remove those items now and wax it first, then put them back together. That way in the cracks etc it has wax to cover it and seal up the paint in those areas! As for the edge of the lid, you COULD use chrome door edging like I did on my trunk, but again just a suggestion. I did it for 2 reasons. 1 it looks good and 2. it makes it look DIFFERENT than the other trunks like it. That is also why I put the 3/4 inch chrome trim on mine too and the lights.

What ever you do I'm sure it will look good.

Good stuff, that will fix the problem and add some extra BLING to boot
A win win situation and not a bad price at all!!!!

Gonna look REAL sharp once you get it all finished and on the bike!!!

I am thinking of adding a top rack to mine, but not sure if the HD one's will fit? or if I go with the one that the company got my trunk from if the chrome is up to snuff or not??? ::)

Hey Tom, ...it looks great from where I'm sitting. Your Nomad script caught my eye. Did you get that on eBay? I saw one exactly like that there but he wanted a couple/few hundred dollars for it. Can you believe it? I got something similar for my old Venture trunk way back when. Then when I sold the trunk, the guy who bought it said he didn't want the script on his Yamaha. {no doubt} I think I paid $5.00.

I have had those mirrors (without the turn signals) ever since they were introduced. They are a little small, but I do like them a lot. When I got them, I also got 2 helmet hangers to screw into the stock mirror mounting holes, makes a real convenient place to hang your helmets. Here's a couple of photos showing them. I have replaced the pouch at the windshield now with one of those Harley 3 pouch that goes all the way across the windshield.

got it off ebay I think I paid 25 + shipping and that was too much no way I was going to pay 200 for the other one that was on there at the same time it is the emblem off a 68 nomad wagon took me awhile to figure out which nomad it came off of there was a new one out that I liked I was showed on a new chevy nomad prototype that never happened

Who makes those helmet hangers and where did you get them?

Kuryakyn makes them (or did). I went to their site to get a link to them, and it says "sorry, no results found". I did find them on other sites, they have them with or without a little lock, and also to replace the pivot pin in the clutch and brake levers. Here's a link to them though...... The ones I have are Kuryakyn part # 4212. Do a google search for kuryakyn 4212 and you might find better prices.
