Why personal modifications affect price

Isn't that a Classic and not a Nomad? Unless they redid the pipes too?

Jen, It says in the ad new Cobra exhaust.
Ponch, I don't think it is that bad.

Look at the passenger foot boards. I think the classic has pegs. They wrecked a perfectly good bike, unless it was a salvage to begin with and even then, taste varies.

If it wasn't salvage, they should have just bought a Classic to begin with and saved a thousand or so. Honestly its not a bad looking ride. We are lamenting only because we know what it was and could have been...

Bags extra $$? Bags aren't optional on a Nomad. Don't care for the baby blue color, either.
Where's the windshield?

That blue makes me sick to my stomach and blue is my favorite color too. It just doesn't work and who would take the bags off and call it a nomad? No windscreen too.

Looks like a poor attempt at painting with old-school colors.
Just my thoughts...

Personal modifications are just that - personal. Certain custom jobs sell quickly, others don't because they don't appeal to a broad enough market. This guy is just screwy trying to sell a Nomad that's de-accessorized.

Not only appeal, but was it executed well? A stock bike or nearly so sells the quickest if the price is in line with the market.

I like the chin spoiler and wish I would had added one to my bike before I painted it.
The bike isn't a Nomad, it's a Classic. The mounting location for the engine guards/dresser bars are not there. That's the only difference on the frame that I'm aware of. Also, the the chrome fender struts are longer on a Nomad.

Chin Spoiler 2007 Nomad
Where can you find a chin spoiler? I like the looks of it.

The front fender and possibly the rear fender ( hard to see in the photo ) does not have the correct flair at the rear to be a Nomad. Nor, as Jared points out are the chrome pieces on the rear fender.
It may have been accidented and rebuilt from what parts could be found.
