Thunder Tornado Air Kit

Has anyone installed the Thunder Tornado on their Nomad? I bought the Baron's BAK a few months ago (never installed it), I'm now thinking I might exchange it for the Thunder. Does the Tornado stick out/interfere with your leg?

I've seen them on classics and mean streaks, but have never seen one on a Nomad. On the right bike, I think it could look really nice.

As far as it interfering with you leg...most likely. But you'd probably get use to it rather quickly.

I'm going to play it safe and install the BAK--won't have to wonder about it hitting my knee, and worry about it getting drenched in a downpour. Thanks.

I had one on mine and really liked it. No issues with leg contact because the sweep goes forward quickly on the bend. Felt like changing it up a year ago and put on a HyperCharger.

Hey Voyager, thanks for the pics! That sucker is big! I didn't realize the Tornado was that long. Maybe the cover gives it more length... It definitely stands out and makes a statement. I think I'm going to stick with the more subtle look of the Baron's.

I really appreciate the pics. It helped with my decision. Thanks again.
