I have a set of Nomad 1700 mounting brackets and handlebars I would like to swap with anyone who may have a 1 1/4" Voyager handlebar to trade. I don't need the Voyager mounting brackets. The difference between the 1700 model Voyager bars and the 1700 Nomad bars is the size of bar and mounting brackets on the triple tree. I replaced my 1700 Nomad Bars and mounting brackets with the Voyager mounting brackets and bars. I would like to do the same with my 2007 Nomad 1600. So, if anyone wants to swap, I will send them the Nomad 1700 mounting brackets (the mounting bolts are larger than the 1600 Nomad) and handlebars...and all I need in return is the 2010 or newer 1 1/4" Voyager handlebars, as I already have Phat Riser mounting brackets for my 2007 Nomad in the 1 1/4" size. I am also willing to buy available Voyager Handlebars if a trade is not needed.

Well, I decided to use all the parts I've been collecting and see if I could improve the reach on my 2007 Nomad. Took the Phat Risers I purchased for my Vaquero and didn't quite work, matched them to my Stratoliner 1 1/4 inch handlebars and presto....more muscular looking bike with a better reach across the gas tank. Cancel my request for the Voyager handlebars.

Rule #4: If you don't post pics, it didn't happen.

Straight from the VBA rule book.

Good point...I will take the time today to take some pics and post.

UPDATE: I rode too long into the night and the pictures didn't turn out so well. Will take some in the daylight tomorrow. It gets dark so D*** early these autumn days. I love it when its light out till 10 p.m.

Here are the pictures of the final outcome using Phat Risers to attach the bars to the Nomad.
