IT RUNS w/ light pics
Well I got her all buttoned up today. Put a couple of gallons of fuel in and I'll be damned if it didn't fire right up. Rode around the neighborhood and Ava came out exited cause the Nomad rumbles with those Cobra pipes.
So here is what I put on or took off. Cobra True Duals with Billet Tips and Cobra fuel processor. Chuckster dual plate intake. reed valve removal and coaster plates. cam chain adjuster extenders. large lowers on which I mounted running lights 3 inch handlebar risers Removed air crossover and medusa and vapor canister. Installed aux fuse box under left side cover Replaced fork reflectors with LED running light/turn signal Did the swing arm, drive shaft Drained and replaced coolant Put in an air shock balance kit from jestephens The pipes sound great. And they look much better than the stock pipes. I now have 6 running lights up front and 6 in back and have 4 more for the back on order. I will post pictures when I get the other lights installed. Thanks to everyone who helped with advice and encouragement. I could not have done these mods without KawaNOW.

Hey charlie, did the air mod and pipes really "wake up" your bike?
I'd consider doing that if I thought that it made a big difference especially riding 2 up. My biggest concern is that all thats going to happen is more intake and exhaust noise. I'd do that mod if I knew that my Nomad now didn't need to down shift to get going.
