If you want a bike like the LT then consider the Yamaha V Star 1300 Tourer or Deluxe.
The Tourer comes with bags and a windshield and the Deluxe has bags and a batwing. They made them up to 2017 so parts are readily available. My nearest Triumph dealer is 40 miles away. There are 5 Yamaha dealers within 40 miles. |

looked a little at the T Bird when I bought the 1700 Nomad. downfall was a piston slap due to short skirts and a very expensive service at 10 or 11k that includes valve adjustment.

Nvr mind Mick, not worth the trouble, I get the gist. I am also looking at the Voyager, found a sweet 2018 that would work nicely, maybe get the little woman back riding with me. Concerned about the weight… Anyone have thoughts going from a Nomad custom to me to a stock Voyager?

I have both here...Nomad is mine, Voyager is my son's. The Voyager is only marginally heavier on paper, less so in real life. It's mostly in your head because you'll think the fairing and its contents must surely weigh a ton but it's all Tupperware at the end of the day.

I dropped my Nomad 4 times, when the front tucked in when braking at 10-15mph.

I was not even moving when my Voyager went over. I had stopped and turned my upper body around to see where a buddy was and as I turned my body the bike started to lean. By the time I realized what was happening the bike had passed the point of no return and although I had solid footing I could not hold the bike up.

Mick, there was an issue with the forum yesterday. I normally don't have a problem posting on here but yesterday something was "off" and I could not post for a few hours.
