What is it you are doing for this "build" ....??

I see you have the "Ranger" motorcycle lift. I have the same one and love it. I didn't like the screw clamp for the frt. wheel so I changed it out for another chock. Do you have the extended sides for when you want to run an ATV up on it??

Sorry I f%#king asked, !!.... I can see a different fender, wheel, bars,...probably more that is harder to see/notice. And BTW .... not everyone turns wrenches more than maybe changing oil,
what is in your plans,..... is what I was getting at.
Good luck with "IT"

Just curious, what do you mean a "bagger" look? Nomads are about as "bagger" as you can get.

Looks good so far and I'm all about not running with the pack, what else do you have planned?

Different bars...fender....larger front wheel.....all looks nice. These guys (the regulars here) have "been there, done that" with these Nomads. You could not find yourself in a better place to learn/share more about your bike. Sarcasm and good natured ribbing are part and parcel to this forum, but everyone appreciates good work and even more so good communication..... Nice work!

Thanks , I have no problem admitting I was wrong and I was...If you could , I'd appreciate if you could get some of them to post some pics of those bikes..I know a lot of people that wanna see more Nomads When u Google CUSTOM NOMAD BAGGERS...Instead of the same ones you see every time..

There are a few guys here who have gone outside the box...."jestephens" for one...but there are others too. "BDog" makes some awesome custom one-of pieces for his Nomad. Come on boys...show this fellow some of your good work! For sheer attention to detail....our new President, Jared "UtahMotorcylist" is unmatched as his Nomad is as clean and chromed as you will find.....

BT713....roll that bad boy up to Estes Park at the end of this month for the VBA National Rally. We'll toss a few back, smoke some of BD's great cigars and blow a proverbial load all over the awesome bikes parked all around. Good times will be had by all...!
