Given what my calculator says, you have spent a lot of money on your Nomad... and now it is beginning to morf into a Harley tourer...
Seems before long... you could have just bought a Harley tourer...

Go out in the garage or wherever you keep your bike. Look at the side profile of your nomad. His used to look the same.

Seems to me if you like the HD bags...get the chrome HD rails that go with those bags. I too like the Nomad bags better on a NOMAD...but the HD bags look good on an HD. JMHO....

Don't take my comment of not likeing the bags to much to heart. I'm just giving my opinion. I say do what you like.

Instead of trying to make those rails work I would get a set of harley rails that fit the bags.

The Harley saddlebag rails mount into the Harley saddlebag guards, not sure how the rear of the guards mount behind the saddlebag. Probably not a simple bolt-on on a Nomad.

That would be the best solution for the rails.

I agree with most others that the bags look better w/o those rails. If the rails fit the bags, they would look good, IMO. I'd check to see if the HD rails for those bags could be mounted w/o too much trouble or you could always cut those rails down & re-chrome but that sounds like a lot of trouble.
