YEE HAA!! There is nothing wrong with falling in love with another bike. Those are sweet rides, roomy, good looking, (love the color of your new one ), and handle like a charm. You look good on it Your Nomad sure is a beauty and someone is going to get a great bike. Even if does need some repairs.

Not a Kawasaki at all, which I guess officially makes me a member of the 'Various Baggers Assoc'. This season I'll be sporting a 2010 Victory Cross Country with a scant 7800 miles, and a beautiful thing it is. Can I get a "YEE HAA!!"
So as much as I appreciate all your suggestions on fixing the Nomad I will definitely be letting someone else have that pleasure. Would love to see it still on the road but it's somebody else's turn now. Man I had a lot of fun on the Nomad - man I'm going to go even faster, further, and more often on the Victory!!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sweet lookin ride Joe , hope she brings u miles & miles of great ridin ! This one's truly a 'V' Bagger :-)

He does now! I dropped him a line over at Volusiariders.com, hadn't talked to him in a couple years and didn't know he'd switched as well. This riding community is small :)

CONGRATS on your new Ride! I LOVE the C.C It is my favorite Vic. :) Bummer about your NOMAD! It took me about the whole riding season to sell mine at 4k Sold it for 3500$ just to get it gone after sitting 3 years! . Like the others said If possible I would turn it back to stock if possible and sell the parts,you will come out ahead. OR strip it, The Bags on E Bag avg. 900$ I do have a spare 04 Stock seat,and brake pedal somewhere

So did you trade in the Nomad for the new bike? I'm in the same boat as you are right now but it's my second gear that is shot. Trying to figure out what to do, if I can trade it in (or sell as-is to someone) and still get something I may do that BUT I sure love my bike. Hate that this happen.

When you are done you will still only have a bike worth its current bluebook value. If you are going to keep it forever, then not much problem otherwise financially not a smart move. Trading it in will result in you giving the bike to the dealer for nothing. They will offer you $500.00 to wholesale the bike out. This amount you can probably negotiate off the price of another bike even without a trade in. So you essentially give the bike to the dealer to get rid of the headache. You can part the bike out and make probably very close to the blue book value. Possibly even a bit more. If you are not mechanically inclined then I would find a trustworthy partner who is a good wrench who would be willing to strip the bike and ship the parts for part of the cash value. In my mind its the only thing that makes sense if you want to retain value. If you feel this is too much a pain then head to the dealers find another bike, give them yours and don't look back.

I can take it back to stock as far as accessories and will probably do a trade in. I know it has a few more issues so if even if I fix the major issue I still would have more to do. If I didn't have two additional bikes right now, one that I'm making a Bobber, I would probably part it out but space and time are not in my favor right now. There is a Yamaha Raider I have had my eye on :-) Maybe I will list it here and see if anyone in my area is looking for a whole bike that they can part. I've been riding it without second gear for over 2000 miles, can still do that for awhile longer.
