can anyone help?

[FIRE_GHOST]

Hello i have a black 2000 vulcan 1500 nomad and im looking for a large trunk to add onto my bike. It has to open to the side that way i can keep my sissy bar and it has to be gloss black. Plz let me know if you can help.

If you put a trunk on the bike you will be removing the sissy bar in most cases.

Look for an electra glide trunk for one that opens sideways.

F-G, I've never seen a hard trunk that you can leave a sissy bar on with it. There are several choices of "Semi Hard" to Soft Trunks that are designed to fit in conjunction with the sissy bar. Many Hard trunks have back rests built into them to replace the back rest you would lose on the sissy bar. some even add arm rests. Too many options to pick a trunk for you. You'll have to research the one that works for you. Good Luck

If keeping your sissy bar is a must. Then I would look at this bag from cycle gear. It's big, rigid, holds it shape, and is a great addition to the bike. Looked at them at Cycle gear. They are nice bags. I'm pretty sure you can open this bag even with the passenger still on the bike.

A hard tourpak replaces the passenger backrest, which is why they make backrest cushions for tourpaks. I'd look for a Harley tourpak or you can find an aftermarket clone for less money.

Im ok with getting rid of my sissy bar. And id like to find the hard tour pack that opens from the side. I would like to buy used from someone on here preferably

[ringadingh]

Go with the Harley Tour Pak, they are one of the best available.

I doubt you'll find a used one on here.

This is what you're looking for. This one would need to be painted to match your bike.

Here's a black one but you would need to replace the pas.

And a mint condition one.

Don't forget to mention that you will also need a mounting system to put the tour pack on the Nomad. Add $235.00

Thats what im look 4. Ill have to save up for it no big deal. I also think i need to get a fuel processor for her. I think i need that before the trunk. I think im getting very crapy gas mileage.

[HwyRider]

If the intake hasn't been changed it's not going to help you with fuel economy. If you're riding in the city and getting north of 32 mpg then you are getting the right gas mileage.

Other things will improve your fuel economy better than a fuel processor. Make sure the tires are properly inflated and change the air filter. Make sure your fluids have been changed and are clean.

The batwing is also going to cut down on your mpg because of the larger surface pushing the wind.

There are trade offs when it comes to adding things to the bike. If you pulled the batwing you would probably gain mpg but you would loose the stereo.

Or use a hitch box off your trailer hitch
