Fairings, Tourpacks, Baggers, Post your pics here!

[fltekdiver]

I did this a few years ago on the VTX forms, and several years later, the thread I started has over 1000 post, and over 20 pages of people posting pics of their bikes turned into baggers, touring machines & more !

I thought I would give it a shot here. It a great place to post pics of your bike, with after market fairings, lowers, tour-packs, and so on, so when people like myself are thinking about adding these to their bike, they can go over pics and see what each looks like

I would recommend also stating where you got the aftermarket parts, who made them, etc, to help anyone considering or thinking of adding that part onto their bike.

So show your pics off, lets see those fairings, tour-packs, custom paint jobs, and more out their ! Touring machines show your stuff !

[fltekdiver]

I'll start by adding a pic of my customized Nomad here !

Then Ultra Tour-pak I got from eBay was drilled for the H-D luggage rack and the H-D chrome accent around the lights. I just received the chrome trim kit and a pair of speaker pods today so this winter's trunk project is coming long well. I just need my luggage rack, lock and my antennas which are all en route and I was lucky enough to pick up a very nice H-D tour-pak backrest from Wisconsin Cyacle Salvage for $70. It will be nice to hook up the FM antenna to my stereo so I can get some decent reception and a handlebar mount CB is also in the plan. Next week the trunk as well as the fairing shell will be off to the painters to match up with my bike's stock paint. I'll have to shoot some before and after pictures. Wompus racks are on sale for $200 shipped until the end of January - lucked out again with that purchase.

[fltekdiver]

Very nice, good luck with your project, thats what winters are for :)

What do you guys think about making this thread a sticky ??

Great bikes with lots of pictures, I'm sure their will be more to come as well, and loads on info on mods done as well !

[psychocycle]

I will have to get some up to date pictures posted with my new corbin solo seat and solo fender rack which is not shown in my signature pictures.

[fltekdiver]

Awsome !!

[ringadingh]

I removed my fairing today to work on the steering neck bearing and tidied up some wiring while I had it off, heres a couple pics of the inner fairing.

[ringadingh]

Heres the front pic

Great looking bike !

How are you attaching the tourpack, so it comes on/off like that?

I want the bagger look also, but it would be nice to have a tour pack that was a quick release

[fltekdiver]

Heres the front pic


What did you have to do to make the HD fairing work?

I just bouught the Reckless

I like all the extra gages etc on the HD fairings

[ringadingh]

Heres the front pic

I just bought the Reckless
I like all the extra gages etc on the HD fairings
That is a Premeux fairing, when I first got it it just had the stereo in it, but still looked kind of plain and empty. I added the gauges earlier this summer and it really adds to the look of the fairing.
I still have one more small hole to drill for my handlebar heater switch but am having trouble deciding on where to do it so it looks like it belongs rather than an afterthought.

[fltekdiver]

10/4, nice job !

[fltekdiver]

Bump :)

[hammer]

Wiz, let me know if you want some info. on mounting your J&M CB. I was able to find an adapter so you can mount a good bottom mount adjustable CB antenna on the trunk, otherwise good luck trying to get a good signal adjustment with a standard HD antenna.

[ve3hzz]

Here is my 02 this was taken last summer after I added the trunk and fairing. Quadzilla type and Reckless but it was an HD and had to modify the brackets for the Nomad. I only have to remove 4 of the windshield bracket bolt locations (original) and disconnect the power and the entire batwing can be removed in about 5 minutes. Trunk not as easy. I did make the mount for the trunk from a one piece of 6061 1/8 inch aluminum bent into shape which makes it very strong. ;)

Hope the pics come out. Host of small modifications done too numerous to mention or remember now.. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif


Scott

Edit: fixed the problem so no need to download the attachment.

[fltekdiver]

I tried to upload your bike Scott, and it gave it as attachment also

Try using photobucket, and then copy & paste to here, then everyone can see it :)

[ve3hzz]

OK so let's try this here and see what happens if all goes well it should show the pictures I have uploaded from photobucket

That did it, hope there not too big. I'll play with sizing sometime.

[rickyboy]

ve3hzz {Scott ??? } Nice bike!! I like the way you did the paint on the fairing. I suggested that to my paint guy but he did it the way it is. He also said he'd put a double pinstripe on but didn't. I wasn't real happy, and maybe I should have had him redo the whole thing, but he was fast, cheap, {$300. for the two tone and single stripe, on the tank and fairing} Plus the repair shop fixing/holding the bike wanted to reassemble the bike and get the job finished. I'm happy.
But I really like the way yours is done.
What make of trunk is that? Looks to be from an older Voyager, .....maybe a Yamaha Venture.?
Anyway it looks good.

[ve3hzz]

Thanks Rick, appreciate the comments. The fairing didn't turn out EXACTLY as I'd like it as the clearcoat ran (to humid when I painted it) and so I MAY infact redo it, but I think it will wait till next winter. I didn't use my NEW HVLP paint gun so my bad!!! I liked the distinction of the 2 tone in that way from the standard, as it was different thanks for noticing.
As for the tour pak...well it's a DMY type. I made up the 2 brake lites (LED) from a rubber mounted hole type and the chrome "hats" which is how they are attached to the trunk. I put on chrome door edge and 3/4 inch wide body side moulding along the bottom. I also made the 1 piece of aluminum frame it sits on from 6061 bent into shape. The fairing is like the Reckless one, but it's on line and for an HD hence had to modify the brackets to make it work on my stock windshield mounts. I can have it off in about 5 minutes which is better for any work needed. Still a work in progress, yes after 8+ years still not done with it..LOL...many more things to do.

Again thanks for the comments.

Regards

Scott

[canuckrider]

See my signature line photos of my '08 with a Wide Open Custom fairing and an older Bates trunk that I refurbished and mounted in a solo setup.

Here's a picture of the back of the fairing with the Jensen marine stereo and 4 speaker set up that WOC offers. In place of the little storage bin I added a small panel that I fabbed from aluminum plate and installed a power outlet, a Dakota Digital tach and a couple of lighted switches and a push button for my garage door opener. RAM mount for my Garmin GPS on the left handlebar.

RAM mount for my Garmin GPS on the left handlebar.

I like the setup, nice. One reason I mounted my GPS (Garmin 760) in the middle facing me was that it is the easiest to see in bright lighting and when playing MP3's via it can see and make adjustments on the fly. I have a power plug in on the right side. I'm looking at where can put a gauge or 2? but for the most part I like the fact I can have it OFF in about 5 minutes now.

Nice bike looks good and I'm sure it's very comfortable for you. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Scott

[ringadingh]

I mounted my GPS in the centre of the fairing as well, just above the radio. I like it there better also, for the same reason you stated. Its a good location for those units.

[fltekdiver]

what mount did you both use? The one for the handle bars?

[ve3hzz]

what mount did you both use? The one for the handle bars?
Mine is a RAM mount bracket for the Nuvi line. Then I made my own aluminum bracket as you see in the picture and bolted it to the fairing. I did put a piece of rubber (scrap from a door threshold weather stripping) to take up any vibrations, but minimal. That's the greyish colour in the picture at the back of the mount.
http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z244/ve3hzz/DSCN0544-1.jpg
The mount I put up and checked for angle and then bent the bracket so it was facing me directly as I was sitting like I would be riding. This wasn't hard, just an extra step to make it view with minimal glare. If I did get some glare I can still add a HAT on to it easy enough. The Ram mount (I can't remember the stock number) was like 12.00 or so. I could have purchased the round ball mount for handlebar, but didn't need it nor see a need. Other location would be where I mounted my stereo remote, but not line of sight like mine is now...so less DISTRACTION.

Scott

[ringadingh]

I used a vent mount that was meant for cars, modified it slightly and fastened it to my windsheild with two way tape.
I have it off the bike at the moment, when I get home tonight I'll take a picture of it and post it.
I bought it on Ebay for about $5.00 a couple seasons ago.

[fltekdiver]

You guys are the best, thanks !

[ringadingh]

Heres the pic of the Mount I use to fasten the GPS to the bikes fairing.

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff167/Ringadingh/GPSMount002.jpg

[ve3hzz]

If you look at Reply #37 on Jan 9, 2011, 11:15am you will see the picture of the GPS straight ahead showing how it's in my line of sight area for easy viewing. I like this better as I can glance at it easily.
I can still unclip the GPS easily enough and take it with me or put it in my saddle/trunk. Most of the guys I ride with say to leave it no one will touch it, but I'm not that brave http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif But I guess to most it looks pretty secure so not easy to walk off with it??? Even over the bumpiest roads (and a few wooden bridges http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif ) it is very stable.
Only think I need to do now is get another power cable for the quick connnect at the rear and I'm set. Winter project. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Thanks , Scott.
Yes, I found it difficult to read the GPS in bright sunlight but stole an idea from Hammer who has the same Garmin 255W GPS and RAM mount that I have. Picked up a black plastic 3 X 5 card file box at Staples, cut the lid off and pretty much cut it in half diagonally, trimmed to fit and mounted to the back of the RAM mount. it looks pretty respectable and now the GPS is legible in most situations unless the sun is really low and directly to my back.

Thanks Hammer for the idea. Better get a copyright on it!

Your more than welcome. Interesting idea about that file box. Do you have a picture of it? I've been thinking of doing that for mine for those situations (not often) but would help. I could mount it with velcro so it comes off easy enough when not needed or when I have to do something with my mount etc.

[canuckrider]

Will try to take some pics and post them tonight. Unless Hammer is reading this thread and has some that he has already taken.

Back view - I had to notch it so that I could connect the power lead. Also had to go with slightly longer bolts to handle the extra thickness.
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb43/canuckrider800/2011JanFeb009.jpg

Top view - notched so that I could access the clip on the RAM mount to remove the GPS

Again, gotta give Hammer credit for the idea. Total cost about $5

Cool thanks for the pictures. I think I have a new mini-project to do sometimes soon. I will look I may have one of those laying around or something similar. Nice job on the cut out.

Scott

[ringadingh]

Making that visor is a good idea, A lot of the time my GPS is almost useless because of the glare. I'll have to make up something like that as well to cure the problem. Thanks for the idea.

[ve3hzz]

I'm going to make that a weekend project this weekend I think? I was going to wait for a couple of weeks as wanted to get to another project, but I may just bring the bike in out of winter temp storage into the garage and do some MOD's and maybe start the maintenance now incase it's WARM in Mid March http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[Blueraven]

How are the GPS's in the rain? I know that they are not factory waterproof. How do you prevent water getting in/on them? I have a NUVI 750.

[fltekdiver]

They sell rain proof covers for them, but as far as I know,there not weather proof

[ringadingh]

I use a Garmin Nuvi, which is not waterproof rated. I have it behind the fairing and even in most rain that Ive ridden in the unit stays dry behind the windshield. In a hard rain guys put a zip loc bag over them and that works. I will just remove it and put it in my pocket. However Ive found it takes riding in a pretty good downpour before I have to remove it temporarily.

[wiz]

Wiz, let me know if you want some info. on mounting your J&M CB. I was able to find an adapter so you can mount a good bottom mount adjustable CB antenna on the trunk, otherwise good luck trying to get a good signal adjustment with a standard HD antenna.

I bought tuned J&M shorty (about 22") antennas for the standard H-D mounts already on the trunk. I should have my couple little parts I need tomorrow from Bike Bandit and the trunk and the fairing shell will be hauled out to the custom paint shop next week. I am looking forward to joining the Ultra Nomad brigade. :-)

[fltekdiver]

10/4 Wiz, please post pics when your done, and good luck with your paint job, cant wait to see it !

[nomadtom69]

got my tour pak I bought off ebay yesterday not quite as on ebay has a small crack where the back rest bolts on think it can be fixed easy has a nice plush back rest and heavy chrome luggage rack will take it to the painter Sat. and see what he says it will cost to get it black will get some pics before it gets painted

[ve3hzz]

How are the GPS's in the rain? I know that they are not factory waterproof. How do you prevent water getting in/on them? I have a NUVI 750.
I have the 760 and if I ever need it, can put a plastic sandwich bag (zip lock bag) over it and it will keep it dry. Also unless your in a driving rain, it's not going to touch the REAR of the fairing if your riding. When you stop yes could get wet, but with a baggie over it, that will keep it clean/dry.

[nomadtom69]

got some pics of tour pak before I get it painted
http://s1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa393/Nomadtom/tour%20%20pak/ found a small crack or two on lid I think it is just surface but let painter look at it.

Man, that is one pillow top backrest, love it!

Shouldnt be a hard fix, doesnt look like much

[nomadtom69]

Just got 325 in it so I got some wiggle room to have it fixed and painted got a wompus rack on the way the have it mounted hope I can have it on for about 750

[fltekdiver]

10/4, good luck with your project. Its going to look great

[Netnorske]

They sell rain proof covers for them, but as far as I know,there not weather proof

The motorcycle specific ones like the Garmin Zumo 550 are waterproof. I have ridden in the rain many times with it and it works great!

[rickyboy]

I just picked up the Zumo 220. Also a motorcycle specific { "water proof" } GPS. I haven't tested it yet though.

Same here. I just poke a small hole in the bag to run my power cord to the GPS. No issues behind the fairing.

I finally got the hinge pins, lid tether, and the one hasp from BikeBandit.com, now I will take this 2010 Ultra trunk and my fairing shell to get painted to match my '07 black/titanium Nomad on Monday. Here's the tour-pak stuff before:
http://files.unifiedtrust.com/tourpak01.jpg The speaker pods are from June's Upholstery on eBay with 6.5" Pioneer 2-way speakers. J&M shorty pre tunes antennas for H-D Ultra tour pak, Harley premium luggage rack (holes already drilled for it), backrest from Wisconsin Cycle Salvage, H-D chrome taillight trim (because the holes were already drilled for it too) and a wompus rack. So far about $1120 into the project before paint. Oh well, it will be sharp. Merry Xmas to me and my Mrs.!

Im sure it will look great when your done. Just a tip; when your mounting the Tour pak on the Wompus rack fit it with the speaker pods mounted. The pods take up a fair amount of room on a Nomad and will decrease the passenger seating area, especially for getting on and off the bike. Most likely you will mount the box a little further back on the rack. Harleys seem to have a lot more passenger room than the Nomads.

[rickyboy]

Hey "wiz" Steve's correct about the room and with his suggestion to maybe mount it a couple/few inches back..... that's how mine is set up.... and don't think about the money... you're going to love having the "tour pak". I know I have no regrets going from the older Venture trunk {although I think it looked good} to the H.D. King tour pak.
Looking at yours, it looks to be the two tone H.D. pearl black/gray and the "diablo black". Does yours have the light package in the rear?? Mine came with a single colour "pearl black/gray. One day I'd like to get it done in a two tone to match the rest of the bike better. But it'll be fine the way it is for now. At least that's what "judygirl" says. ;)
anyway, congrats on the tour pack. It's going to look great.

[wiz]

My Tourpak has the lights and the antenna mounts on the back, here it is without the chrome trim:
http://files.unifiedtrust.com/tourpak02.jpg
I'll need to run the FM antenna cable from the fairing, the wires from the stereo to the rear speakers and wire in the taillights - and I'll be sure to get the passenger seat spacing correct before I drill through the wompus rack, my wife doesn't take up very much space. At this point I'm no longer worried about the money - I'll keep the bike and ride it enough to get the $$$-worth out of it.

[rickyboy]

well good for you you will enjoy the whole thing.

[ringadingh]

Wiz, I forget to mention earlier that you should use a plug so its easy to remove the Tour Pak without cutting any wires.
I wish I had the same Ultra beerbox as yours, mine was already on the bike when I bought it, and had the Electra Glide box on it.
Those extra lights are a really nice feature to have.

[rickyboy]

So yours doesn't have the light pkg. either Steve. What models came with lights.?? I think mine is off an Ultra it has no lights except the LED ones that go around the bottom of the box, that took the place of the chrome plastic on the sides. I modified those chrome pieces and attached them right above the LED's. They're not in my sig.

[fltekdiver]

Ultra's, Eletra Glides, and the newer 2009 and up Road Glides I belive have the lights on their tour packs.

[nomadtom69]

The one I bought is a King Tour Pak it has the side lights with chrome around them . I am taking it to the painter Monday to see what it is going to cost me to get it Ebony Black

[ringadingh]

Unless they have changed recently the Ultra Classics were the only bikes that came with the tailights in them, and now the new Road Glide Ultra as well. The side marker lights were available on Electra Glides as an extra. I don't have any lights on my box. You could buy them and cut them in but that would cost a fair bit from the prices Ive seen them selling for.
Also my box just has a rubber mat in the bottom, whereas the Ultras have a full molded carpet liner.
Heres a link to a bargain priced Tour Pak, if they have any left.

[nomadtom69]

With what I got in the tourpak with back rest and chrome rack the paint job and a wompus rack I should come in about 750 I hope. There is a liner on ebay for 40 it might not end up to bad on me its a King Tourpak

[fltekdiver]

Nobody doesnt make a quick release for these like HD does do they?

[ringadingh]

Not that Im aware of, but I see some HD quck releases on Ebay all the time.
I cant seeing it taking more than 15-20 minutes to remove the box if its bolted on.

[rickyboy]

I'm still wondering what box I have. "strobe" bought the tour pak new I know that!! I thought it was off the Ultra Glide.... Ultra Glide??? Is that right? There are no lights, as in turn lights or running lights on the rear. I have the LED kit that fits the sides. It also has the full liner in the bottom. But he might have bought that separately, I don't remember.

Other than the wiring it should be able to be unbolted pretty quick.

[fltekdiver]

Ultra Classic, Which is HD full touring bike, which has lowers, CB radio, etc. Like Ringadingh said, if it doersnt have the light kit, then it probabley came off their Eletra Glide. The light kit was only on their Ultra Classic, unless the person paid extra on the Eletra Glide to have them added

I also know you can buy the light kit on the rear off Ebay, which is what a friend of mine did with his HD tour pack

HD also made smaller half trunks, with no lights

[wiz]

Wiz, I forget to mention earlier that you should use a plug so its easy to remove the Tour Pak without cutting any wires.

I hadn't thought of that, but it seems like the way to go. The taillights are already hooked up to a plug so I'll go get the H-D part for the other side of that plug and wire the lights to that - and do my own plug for the speakers.

[ringadingh]

Ricky; from what I see yours looks like it off an Electra Glide, same as mine. You have the lights on the side of the box, which can be added or come on a Harley, I have just the chrome trim covering that area.

[sly]

There are some really nice bkes here... Bought mine with the Premeux Fairing, I'm going to install the radio and speakers soon and the Premeux trunk is in the works..... then there's some bling bling too!

[fltekdiver]

Sounds great, good luck with your project!

[xncrman]

I noticed there were not enough green machines being displayed here so I thought I better add my two cents. Since purchasing this beautiful green "99" Nomad several years ago, have added the Mutazu trunk, Reckless fairing and JTD Cycle Parts Hard Lowers. OK that was a plug for the lowers because I make them and like them very much. I have added some extra LED lighting both under tank and tricked out flashers and Brake flasher to get peoples attention when night riding. I have no radio due to the helmet to helmet com and I pipe in IPod through them for music. Besides I like the handy man bag on the windshield for quick storage. Built my own trailer hitch and trailer to tow. I love my bagger...

[rickyboy]

Nice looking 99 John!!
I'm still considering your lowers but after hearing about using them in the heat of summer..... that's when I ride, ....and needing to remove them,.... I'm undecided on getting them. Probably no different though than having the crash bar chaps on in the heat.
Do they come black or do they need paint? Something that small probably wouldn't be hard to do with "rattle cans". I also have a friend that would probably paint them for me.

[ringadingh]

I don't find the lowers that hot in the summer and Ive ridden in some 100 plus days here, they are really nice in the rain. Your feet are protected from most of the roadspray coming off the front wheel.

[Chili]

Man I love the looks of the 99 Green/Green's. If I needed to paint my 01 that paint scheme would be near the top of a short list.

[xncrman]

rickyboy.... Yep you gotta paint them, but they are very easy to do so.

chili.........There's a lot of argument to what color is fastest but I can certainly say my green/green is the slowest. I enjoy the ride and let everyone see a cool looking Nomad!!!!

[wiz]

I feel compelled to chime in about John's hard lowers and hot weather. As long as you open the nice big vents, the summer heat is not a problem - even on long days with temps pushing 100°. Add to that the rain and other stuff protection and the added warmth with the venys closed on cooler days (and the very good price, quality and service) and I am very pleased with my purchase. I am looking forward to getting my trunk, fairing and gas tank back from the painters so I can reassemble my bike and get some pictures posted here.

[ve3hzz]

John, love the bike I always liked the green meanie's and your paint scheme on the trunk and fairing is very nice. I struggled with that and the DMY trunk, but am happy with my decision. One question on your lowers, the glove box on either side (original size) with the latch to close them, would it be possible to replace them with locks? Cylinder type like found in most car trunks or tool boxes ( if that makes sense?).
I like the larger ones, but no way to secure it (incase I wanted to put my radio face plate in there etc. This would give a little more security and flexibility for storage solutions. I have a stereo in mine, and miss my large bag like you have on yours. I did see a few 3 pocket bags but not sure they will fit behind my GPS?
Anyway love the look and like the lowers you've made. Just trying to decide if want to do that THIS year or?? Haven't modded on it since last winter/spring http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[fltekdiver]

Mounting my Reckless Fairing tonight, have the inner mounted with Infinity Marine speakers, and HD Street Glide Mirrors mounted on the inner faringm, removed the stock mirrors, here's a pic of the progress

[ve3hzz]

Your setup looks good, maybe too shiny black for me if the sun reflects off it? They/you did a nice job none the less. I wonder about the mirrors however and how effective they will be to see properly. You will have to let us know once your riding it how they do for seeing behind and into the next lane/bike to your rear on either LEFT or RIGHT of you?
I think with the angle that the master cylinder for each will take part of the view away or reduce the angle? Have to wait and see how you like them.

Good luck with the rest of the installation and for sure keep us posted on progress.

Scott

[fltekdiver]

Yeh, It took 2 hours between measuring them, making sure they don't stick out on the sides, or top, past the fairing. It took longer to get them mounted, then it did to mount the fairing and speakers

My friend had the premeux fairing, and did the same thing. After he sold the bike, the new buyer had put mirrors back on the bars, in the stock location, and kept the mirrors on the fairing

After hours of research on this, I ordered the HD mirrors with the blind spots in them, just for this reason. I knew the masters would be kinda in the way, but didn't know how much

I've had a VTX Retro, that I installed a fairing on also, that had painted inner/outer fairings, and it didn't bother me, so I went with it this time as well

I have to say, the Reckless fairing took little prep to paint, and came out beautiful

The fit is perfect, and I love the fairing

On my VTX, I had a Wide Open, 1 pc, and they charged me $300.00 just to prep it for paint, it was so rough, and the seam from the factory where the two halves were joined was terrible.

This fairing, I paid $100.00 bucks to paint with two coats of black, and two coats of clear, and it came out like a mirror. That was including the prep work :)

[nomadtom69]

must have a inside connection for a painter the paint almost cost that much

[fltekdiver]

I forgot to mention I supplied the paint, harder, reducer, and clear coat. I/We painted a friends truck, and had left over paint. For $100.00 in materials, we painted his truck, and my fairing. So the $100 was labor only :)

[nomadtom69]

thought something was up just had a tourpak in paint shop 225 and that was 1/2 what another one wanted

[fltekdiver]

10/4 , $225 is still a good price to have a tour pack fully painted

[nomadtom69]

not bad I drop it off today he said he would have it back either thursday or friday not a bad turn around

[ve3hzz]

I like the look of the mirrors, just not sure how well they will work? Guess you can always ADD the bar mounted ones later if you wish.
I thought of painting my inner fairing just BLACK, but decided to go with SATIN black so no shiny surfaces to reflect any glare off. I also saw factory fairings on HD's and most had satin finish inner so I went that way. For it I used Duplicolor rattle can paint and did 2 coats. I didn't clear coat it. I can always touch it up easy enough and it's pretty tough stuff.
The outer, trunk and side covers I think the paint, hardner, reducer etc was in about 100.00 that was for 2 colours and clear. I will redo the fairing upper portion maybe or the whole thing next winter I think? It's OK~ http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif
But that is still a decent price even if you supplied the parts. I know that the fairing you have is well finished on arrival and that prep work would be low, still a good price. Looks good.
Hope it all goes together painlessly for you, but I'm sure it will you started with a good product from all the responses.

Scott

[ringadingh]

I paid $500.00 to have my fairing repaired and painted two tone about five years ago. That was after shopping around a bit as well, but they supplied all the materials also.

[fltekdiver]

Yes, It helps when you can paint everything yourself. Your lucky to have that skill

We painted my friends truck ( $1,200.00 ) Truck, that had a bunch of body work etc, and painted it in the driveway on a windy day. Blacks kinda hard to shoot, so it didn't come out perfect, but for the cost of materials, it was worth it.

After that experience, I decided I wanted the fairing painted professionally. All though, I was 50-50 on painting it myself. The last faring I had painted, I took it back from a painter, that had it 3 weeks, and waited another 2 weeks for the new painter to shoot it, and they charged me $650.00 with the prep work on a W/O fairing

This painter, in his down time, does stuff like this in cash, and only had it less then a week, and did a beautiful job

I'll post more pics in the next few days when I have her outside in the daylight :)

[ringadingh]

I had my fairing back within a week as well and they did a fantastic job on it, Now after five years it has a few good stone chips in it and could do with another paint job. Actually the whole bike could be freshened up. The red doors on my side boxes have faded pretty good on the tops.

They are not faded, tey are PINK http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif

[ringadingh]

Same difference Sly! ;)

[xncrman]

I guess I am just damn cheap. I painted my tour pack, fairing, hard lowers, side covers and saddle bag doors myself. I used Color-Rite paint which is a bit expensive but still think I did all that I for about $700.00 . I kinda believe if I can do a 90-95% job I can live with that. The 5-10% not as good I can cover by boast I did it myself. http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif

Besides whats the worst could happen, I totally screw it up? Done that before too! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[Blueraven]

xncrman, how do you like you tourpak? I refer to the back storage trunk. Is it ABS or Fiberglass. I have a ABS and it is very flimsy. I was looking at the site where you got yours and it looks like ABS too. Your thoughts on it?

[xncrman]

I've ridden with it for 2 years now and it has held up to constant use. True it is not the strongest and it is made from ABS. Like much Chinese cycle products there ok on looks, could be stronger and slightly bigger. But for the money I couldn't go wrong. I bought it for looks and price. I thought the rounded look went better with the nomad than square HD. I actually bought both of their trunks, the square one went on the back of my 1979 Honda CB750K with a Vetter fairing on it.

[fltekdiver]

Just bolted the fairing on, will take pics during the day!

That looks really good Sylvain, now you need a beerbox.

Actually, it's on the LIST for this year... just have to see what kind of $$$ I'll get back at tax time.... looking at new from Premeux, a bit expensive but I have no plans to change my ride in the near furure and I have to say, nice!!! That said, a used box, fix-up, paint, bracket & Chrome not to say I would have to have everything done by someone, the price would come pretty close if not the same. Above all, Serge is local (about 60 miles away) and that's just damn cool.

Looks great "fltekdiver"!!!..... save me the trouble of looking back would you?.....is that a "reckless"? The mirrors seem bigger than H.D.'s side mirrors too. I think they might work for me if they'd fit the HD fairing I have. I stayed with the stock Nomad mirrors because with the risers for the handle bars, the bars would get in the way of the view through the mirrors.
Those are some BIG freak'in speakers you have there. Which ones are they??
I see a "tour pak"/trunk in your future BTW.
But again, the bike looks great.

[Loafer]

That's a great looking bike, but do one thing for me. Get the stickers of the saddlebags. Again great looking bike. http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gif

[nomadtom69]

Thought I would have some pics of my Tour Pac today went to pick it up and the guy was buffing it and the buffer got away from him and burnt a hole in paint now he has to repaint . It has not been a good last two days yesterday was having the wifes explorer detailed and when I went to pick it up there was still coffee stains on the leather seat and sand in the rear compartment from our last beach trip and the had waxed it over top of bug guts . Not Happy at least he gave me 2/3 of my money back

[nomadtom69]

Fairing and radio looks great enjoy got a ride planned for tommorw going to be in the 60's hope you have good weather to ride now that you have it done

Thanks !! No trunk in the future, If my wife didnt ride on the bike, Id go with a solo seat and remove the backrest

The speakers are 6-1/2" Speakers, by Infinity. The fairing is by Reckless, and hands down, they really make a nice fairing. There was little to none prep work done before painting

The Mirrors are from Bikers Choice, a knock off of HD Street Glides mirrors, but I needed them larger then HD's because of the crap on teh handle bars , so the bottom of the mirror about 10% is covered by the stuff on the bars, but they work great!

Of course Chucksters light kit, which is superb, and now the little details are left, like removing the stickers, hard lowers for the bike, and a few other things I need to wrap it up, Kuryackyn grips etc

[rickyboy]

OK then, thanks I might look into the mirrors.

Oh and when you think you're done, you find something else that would be nice to have or done.

I had those mirrors on my VTX, when I added a fairing on that one also. They look good, and easy to install. If I remember, there a little small to see out of, but not 100% sure, but anythings better then stock :)

You and timebandit will have to write up a report on the mirrors after you get them. They look really good and clean up the lines on the bike.

painter called Tourpak ready picked it up did not look at it real good the office smelled like 200 stale cigarettes had been smoked in the last 5 min. sinuses went crazy . Any way got home started looking at it looks like the top has to go back looks like he just shot some paint over the buffer burns and said he was done NOT got to take it back and make him start over on top.The bottom looks good got all the hardware mounted on it just waiting on top.Took some pics of it when I got it home before inspecting. http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa393/Nomadtom/DSC00800.jpg

[fltekdiver]

Looks pretty good from here tom, good luck, I cant wait to see it all mounted etc

[nomadtom69]

should have had it on 2 weeks ago if he had done what he said it seems nobody cares anymore

[fltekdiver]

Yeh I hear ya, the last painter that painted my VTX fairing, had it 2+ weeks, and never even touched it, then I had to take it to another painter, who had it 2+ weeks, and charged me $600 between the prep work and paint

This time around, the Reckless need no, or little prep work, and when the painted told me around two weeks, I told him to give it back to me, I'll shoot it myself, LOL

He then said a week at the latest, and gave it back to me 4 days later :)

Looks really good. Glad they finally got it painted right for you!!! should look really good on the bike, and provide a lot of extra storage and functionality to your bike.
Post pics once it's on the bike and all finished.

How long did they tell you to wait before putting a wax coat on? If you give it a month (before you install it) you maybe able to wax it OFF the bike like where it is now and maybe easier?? Especially in those hard to reach places and while sitting comfortably http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[nomadtom69]

He did not say anything about waxing heck I was lucky to get it back I should have left all the junk off of it and waited a month and waxed it but I just had to see what its going to look like I have some more lid chrome to put on it he left the edge of the lid ruff and will have to cover it some way.

You could remove those items now and wax it first, then put them back together. That way in the cracks etc it has wax to cover it and seal up the paint in those areas! As for the edge of the lid, you COULD use chrome door edging like I did on my trunk, but again just a suggestion. I did it for 2 reasons. 1 it looks good http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif and 2. it makes it look DIFFERENT than the other trunks like it. That is also why I put the 3/4 inch chrome trim on mine too and the lights.

What ever you do I'm sure it will look good.

Gonna look REAL sharp once you get it all finished and on the bike!!!

I am thinking of adding a top rack to mine, but not sure if the HD one's will fit? or if I go with the one that the company got my trunk from if the chrome is up to snuff or not??? ::)

[rickyboy]

Hey Tom, ...it looks great from where I'm sitting. Your Nomad script caught my eye. Did you get that on eBay? I saw one exactly like that there but he wanted a couple/few hundred dollars for it. Can you believe it? I got something similar for my old Venture trunk way back when. Then when I sold the trunk, the guy who bought it said he didn't want the script on his Yamaha. {no doubt} I think I paid $5.00.

I have had those mirrors (without the turn signals) ever since they were introduced. They are a little small, but I do like them a lot. When I got them, I also got 2 helmet hangers to screw into the stock mirror mounting holes, makes a real convenient place to hang your helmets. Here's a couple of photos showing them. I have replaced the pouch at the windshield now with one of those Harley 3 pouch that goes all the way across the windshield.

Who makes those helmet hangers and where did you get them?

Kuryakyn makes them (or did). I went to their site to get a link to them, and it says "sorry, no results found". I did find them on other sites, they have them with or without a little lock, and also to replace the pivot pin in the clutch and brake levers. Here's a link to them though...... The ones I have are Kuryakyn part # 4212. Do a google search for kuryakyn 4212 and you might find better prices.

Vulcan,
Do you have risers on your bars? I have four inch ones and wonder if the bars might get in the way of the mirrors. I was going to add the Harley mirrors on the inside fairing but was leery of the bars getting in the way and limiting my view.

I just realized that those mirrors like yours probably wouldn't work for me. My windscreen was cut to be a little wider and I think the mirrors would hit the it. Damn! Looks like I'm stuck with the stock mirrors. :-/ Hey you wouldn't have a side view of those mirrors on your bike would you? You can see in my photo that my windscreen is wider. We both have the Harley fairing style so you'd know if the mirrors would fit/hit. Maybe they'll clear the windscreen. http://s2.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif
http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh319/sentpacking/CIMG7037-Copy.jpg

[VulcanE]

Ricky. I don't have risers, but I do have the handlebars for the Voyager. They moved the grips back to me about 3". My fairing is the Premeux, but my windshield (in this photo) is a genuine HD windshield. I don't have any side shots, but I just went out and looked (with a tape measure), and if your windshield is 2" wider on each side, and continues the same arc, it will still clear the mirrors. Don't know if I answered your questions, but let me know.

I have this in mind, has anyone installed one like this? Thanks for the feedback!!! Sly

[nomadtom69]

I am in the process I bought a wompus rack when it warms up I will be fininshing my install have the tourpak painted to match and have new hinges and latches Check and make sure the backrest and rack come with it or you will be adding about $400 more to it. I bought one off ebay 325 wompus rack 200 latches and hinges 100 paintjob to match 225 some extra chrome 45 and new lock 30 the tourpak I bought had backrest and luggage rack with it. Makes me about 930 in it . with the mount.

[sly]

Thanks Tom, will give the guy a call, it's still 6-700$ cheaper than a new one from Premeux (1650$, one tone, no chrome rack...) See if I can bring yje price down abit, the backrest needs some work he says.

[nomadtom69]

What color is your bike ? If you go on ebay type in Harley davidson tourpak and it will bring up 22 pages look thru them all and also put in tour pack tour pac it will sometimes bring up different ones check to see if there is any damage to the box I let a new black one get away for 750 I was lucky came out about the same

[fltekdiver]

Tour pak is back and put back together here are some pics. Now all I have to do is get warm weather to put it on.

Looks great Tom, cant wait to see it mounted my friend, nice job!

[fltekdiver]

I mounted a Scootworks Super Trunk on my last bike , as seen here:
http://www.shopscootworks.com/productlist.htm?browse=-18724&shopBy=-3113&catalogId=-799

They sell for around $479 plus the wompuss rack, and backrest, your into it for $1K or more, before paint

I've found on the metric bikes, you have to mount the tour pack way back , so the passenger can get in and out, and also so their not sitting foward or being pushed forward by the trunk while riding

Not sure on this bike

[nomadtom69]

here is a link I plan on using telling how to mount the tourpak in the right area Wompus Racks makes the rack for Scootworks racks and he is cheaper in price same rack.
The HD tourpaks can be bought for between 275 and 600 with the back rest and luggage racks if you watch what you do and if get lucky and look long enough you might find one your color

Yes, they are junk. Ive had their trunks on my last bike, and its a pc of junk. Their saddle bags are " OK " to say the least. The rattle allot, and and very thin fiberglass, as the trunk

I went to Tsukayu Hard bags, and trunk. Quality made, really nice products, a bit pricey, but no comparison to the Mutuzu

That's the one I have, the DMY brand on mine. I got it last spring and painted it and installed the lights you see. I may put a chrome top rack on it? It is ABS and is thin, but seems OK. I know it's not as sturdy as the TourPak trunks, but since I wasn't even sure I wanted one nor of it's use or look on the bike, I decided to get it and see. If I liked it then maybe later on I may upgrade to another trunk? But it doesn't seem that bad and it doesn't rattle like some others complain about? I wasn't under any delusions that it would be a GREAT trunk, but it fit the budget at that time and will come in handy this year, so take it for what it is...

I've seen trunks made by these people and wouldn't buy one. Scott/CJ had a trunk by these guys and has said they weren't the best quality but it did the trick for him till he got what he has now.
If you're interested, I posted a trunk that's for sale on craigslist here in Vancouver. But it's $700.
It's one of those leather trunks.
http://www.vulcanbagger.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=20812

That is a good one Tom pointed out there for you Sly. Even at full price.
The rack is probably worth $200. to buy. But it'll probably cost you a couple hundered for paint. then a scoot rack or something like that. Wompus maybe?

Thanks for the link. If I had the extra funds for my MODs this year I'd think about it for sure. Especially with the addition of rear speakers. Not hard to remove/hide the HD label either. Maybe next winter I'll find one and get it ready for paint etc. But it is a nice deal if the $ stays low....

[ringadingh]

I think I mentioned it once before, but I found a sight on the net somewhere that was from the maker of motorcycle trunks. It had a price breakdown on quantity buys. I think it was around $20.00 if you bought ten trunks, and it dropped to around $8.00 if you bought a hundred pieces. They where either the Matzuko or Tysuako or something like that name.

[soverton]

I have had my trunk for over a year and no complaints. It is not expense but if mounted solid it is very sturdy. I used a flat mounting plate that came with it and then a steel plate inside. Very solid and no rattles.

Just looked over the web site, the new trunk (HD style) looks cool but the open style 6X9 speakers I can do without. Looks too big/large and w/the wife sitting there.... I won't go there lol 6-1/2" would be better

[fltekdiver]

On the Nomad, the passenger has a hard time getting out of the rear seat with the speaker pods on the back of the tour packs

I read it somwhere, not sure, never had a tour pack on this bike

If somone made a quick disconnect like HD does, Id buy one in a minute. But I dont want it there all the time

[nomadtom69]

Put you a connector for the lights (if it has any) and it just take saddle bags off and-- 4 bolts-- 2 nuts off shock mount remove toupak and wompus rack in one piece then 2 nuts back on shocks 4 bolts to replace your old backrest and quick bolts in saddle bags one of the members on here showed a hanger in his garage That he hung his on when he took it off.

[fltekdiver]

I would loose the back rest completey.

Id like the look with the solo seat, no rear seat, no backrest when Im riding by myself

When my wife rides, it would be great to have a tour pack to bolt on/off

So what your saying is, just unbolt the saddlebags, onbolt the wompuss rack, put the bags back on, when I want to ride solo, and when my wife wants to ride, bolt the wompuss rack back on, with the tour pack all ready bolted to the wompuss rack, and be done

[nomadtom69]

you got it you might want to bolt a rack on where her seat goes like some more that I have seen on here for the solo look

[nomadtom69]

No bids on it either from what I saw? Maybe there was a problem with shipping. I didn't check feedback? maybe the shipping charges were a bit too high? If I had the coin, I'd buy it for mine, but I'm happy with the one I have right now for a while yet. Of course, if $ was not an issue I'd have that style on there now, or would have bought a fully decked out HD with all the bling bling. But then I wake up and come back to reality!!! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Besides if I couldn't bugger with it, then it wouldn't be half as much fun now would it ;)

Yes, I agree, that was a steal for that tour pack. He lives 2 hours from me, I thought about shooting him a PM, and asking if he would take $400.00 cash, and buying it from him

[sly]

It was a deal for sure, Tom sent me the link but no dilivery to here in CA... Oh well, still looking, got an email from Al, that's a maybe. just have to check out a few more options before I make a final decision...

[fltekdiver]

Im not really looking for one, Im not sure how easy it is to take on & off all the time

Do you have the link?

I just tried to find it, and couldnt find it

I ordered my fairing today. Hopefully it will be here by next weekend.

[nomadtom69]

Did you get the Reckless or another type??

Very cool, please post pics etc when you get it installed :)

good luck with your project

[nomad561]

I ordered the Reckless fairing with a 5" windshield. The email I got says it should be here by 03-11.
I ordered it with the 5" windshield,but I will be getting a taller one to use for touring. Any suggestions on how tall I need and where to get one?

I suggest fastaire.com for replacement windshields. They are in Reno and their prices and service can't be beat. I'm around 6'1" and find that an 8" windshield works well for me. I don't ride two-up, so I can't say if that would work with a passenger.

And here for the windshield heights:

http://www.vulcanbagger.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=20855&start=0


I use " Clear-view " windshield with the re-curve. The re-curve trows the air over the windshield another 1-1/2" to 2", so you can use a 8" windshield, where other makes you would have to use a 10"

For riding solo and around town, I bought Clear-views 6-1/2" Dark grey with re-curve. It was $78.00

For riding 2-up, and long distance, I bought the 12" with re-curve

my wife LOVES the taller windshield, she doesn't feel like her heads in a pop corn machine

Here's link to their site:

http://clearviewshields.com/shop/product.php?id=11

If you go to inventory, and get a blemish, you cant even see their bl-ems, there so minor, and there's more savings

FYI , the Reckless windshield takes Harley Davidson
Electra Glide / Street Glide / Ultra Classic 1996 to Present
Shields

[nomad561]

Thanks guys. It looks like I need to get more accessories for the Nomad.
My other half is not happy. (I haven't bought anything for her bike in awhile) LOL

[soverton]

I got my shield from Long Rider Shields. They are now running $69.95, from 6" to 12", clear or three different tints. They do have some clearance items for $45. Good people to deal with and great products.

Just finished up my Reckless Fairing and that's going to be it for awhile. It was a great project and I think it came out pretty good.

[nomadtom69]

Anyone ever think about cutting out a hole to fit a waterproof cover and install a glove box above the radio on a reckless fairing I have been looking at these last ones mounted and there seems to be a lot of room under windshield down to where radio mounts.

when I had my fairing split ( open ) I didnt see any reason why you couldnt.

I was thinking of doing with a double DIN radio, and trying to figure out if that would fit at the time also

Very nice, great job, looks great!

Where did you get that trim under the windsheild, I'm going to have to get one of them also now :)

Well, I broke down, :-/went to the bike show here in Montreal met Roger from premeux :) and bought a tour pack.... should be ready by mid April.... & I thought 20$ for the parking would have been my major expense for the day... http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Congradulations, I'm sure you'll be very happy with it, they are very well made and the fit and finish is extremely good. I remember when Serge had the first MODEL bike at the Toronto show in 03 I was impressed with them. I personally just couldn't justify (or afford) one. I may in future opt for there tourpak when I upgrade mine in future.

Pics when you have it installed for sure.

There isn't that much space. The angle of the outer fairing wouldn't allow it to be very deep. Maybe a couple inches deep at best.

Ive spoken with Serge on the phone before and he seemed like a pretty good guy, he sure does make some quality stuff. When I was getting my fairing painted a few years ago, the painter was amazed at the fibreglass craftsmanship, he said its been many years since he'd seen work like that.

Sounds about right. That's about how much I am into mine, I paid a little more for the same stereo, paid $200 for my paint job (black, single color).

[ve3hzz]

Mine is the same as the Hoppe Quadzilla fairing, but I bought mine all separately. I have, including paint approx. 500 into mine. But I did paint it myself in the 2 tone factory colours, but the paint wasn't cheap, I think including clear/reducer about 75~ Brackets were modified from the ones that came with the fairing. Stereo purchased a year prior for my car, about 75.00, Marine radio cover 15.00
Fairing about 250 shipped.
So yes in around 500.00 trunk came in (painted at the same time) for about 75.00 + LED lights. total in it was 125.00 all in.

So combined I have less than 700 into the fairing and trunk. If I had to have it painted by a professional add about 300 to that and still in around 1G which is still reasonable. So it can be done inexpensively and still turn out decent (IMO)

I bought my Premeux fairing 8,000$ But look at all those extras I got! a bike with an engine, seats, chrome, iso grips, great rides and memories (it's only been a year) lol
Can't wait to meet some of you guys in June, going to be fun. Now if this snow would just go away, PLEASE!!!!

[nomad561]

My fairing should be here next Tuesday,so I can get to work on the radio and other wiring. I hope to have it ready for paint in a couple of weeks.

If anyone is thinking of buying a radio for their fairing, i just installed my radio a few weeks ago, but it doesnt reconize my Zune mp3 player, Id sell it for $125.00 shipped :)

Weekend project !! http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif This can't mean a start to finish project. If it is..........Man you must be good. Or you're being facetious here and having some at our expense. I know it would take me at least a week or two or more likely longer. Have fun with it!! and don't forget those pictures showing your progress and finished job.
