Lower Leg Fairings - pics

[cheeseyrider]

The lower leg fairings arrived from Premeux yesterday. Took about 10 minutes to install. They tie in nicely with the upper fairing. Heres a couple pics - more are available on the link next to my signature.

Lookin' sharp!

Dude. those look great, where did you get them??

[cactusjack]

That looks really sharp! What kind of a difference do the upper and lower fairings make with respect to wind buffeting?

[topcat59]

Those look great! do they come painted from the manufacturer or did you send them out?

Again - nice ride!

Tom

[trip]

Very nice, CR!! Those turned out better than you originally described. Looks sharp!

Are these sold based on the year of the Nomad, or one size fits all?

[ds06nomad]

CR,

Wow, that looks great! Looks like it was tailor-made for the bike (as in the Yamaha Venture). Between the upper fairing and the new lowers, you have one heckuva good looking bike. You've added a whole new dimension to your bike... and done it the classy, correct way. Kudo's to ya!!

Very very nice!!! You may find them abit hot in the Summer. I put vents in mine from e-glide goodies. You cannot believe the difference!!!! When it's cool they are closed and when it gets warm they are open. They are adjustable but you cannot adjust when riding unless you have very very long arms.

[mikesth]

Thanks for the inner fairing pictures, I'm sold!

[rlfaubion]

lQQk'n good!!!

This is a great addition! Really upgrades the bike and looks like it came from Kawasaki on the original bike.

If you don't mind me asking, How much did this set up cost?

Did you add the light bar with the fairing?

Also, is there a trunk that matches the fairing and lowers?

You may have answered this earlier, but your bike looks very good and I am dreaming of a glossy black set up like yours on my bike.

Thanks

You guys that have tricked out your bikes should send pics in to the magazine "Baggers" which is put out by Hot Bikes. I have yet to see a Nomad grace their pages, and a lot of the bike don't look as good as what I see on this forum. baggermag@primedia.com

It's titled AMERICAN BAGGER - I don't think they will allow Nomads - it's devoted to American manufactured (read HD) baggers. I havn't been very impressed

Have no idea if this will work? Not computer literate!

[jon]

Look's great. I hate the fact I just ordered a $200 tall windshield replacement from clearview. "Should a - Would a - Could a" is the story of my bike.

[ringadingh]

It looks really good, all you need now is the beerbox, to totally finish it off.

[mikesth]

Have no idea if this will work? Not computer literate!

Great! that's what I'm after, the back box is HD, but please confirm the make of your lowers and fairing...

[Yellow Jacket]

Dude. those look great, where did you get them??

Hey Flash. You can find them at http://www.premeux.com

The fairing lists for $1325 US
The lowers list for $725 US
The tour pack lists for $1545 US

$3595 and you're good to go!

I'll never be able to convince the wife that I need this on my Nomad. Dang it heck and back!

"Baggers" is a new magazine and calls itself "The Custom Touring Magazine", and is metric and Harley. This month has an article on the 1300 VTX, Triumph Rocket III Touring (Whoa), Royal Star Tour Deluxe vs Roadking. Yeah there's a lot of Harleys in there, but they do feature Metrics.

It's all Premiux! Harley Chrome bolts right on! Any doo dad's that will fit a Harley will fit - that'http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee158/rewindgy/Newbikepictures018.jpgs why it's a good choice.

[dano]

They look fantastic. May have to invest in a set sometime in the future. Depends on my bonus next year. ;)
Great job.
Ride safe,
Dano

[ponch]

All you need is the late model venture trunk. What a sharp bike. If I had the dough, I'd do it in a heart beat.

Beautiful bike. Started saving now. Wonder if the college fund will make a loan?

Hey there chesseyrider, I have the check in my hand and soon it will be off to serge. I'm going with the lowers and the fairing. i'm holding off on the tour pack for now. I'm also having him install the radio on the fairing. Sweet sweet sweet best looking japanese hare rey on the road.... http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif As soon as i get the items I'll post pics.

That looks really sharp! What kind of a difference do the upper and lower fairings make with respect to wind buffeting?

I had very little buffeting before the upper fairing. Afterwards, I have zero buffeting.

The lowers made no difference in buffeting, but they sure did cut down on the wind on my toes. It's been 22-24 degrees on the way to work the past week and my legs and feet are very happy because their just isn't any wind hitting them due to the lowers.

I figure I'll have to take the lowers off in the summer though - expect they would get too hot.

[cheeseyrider]

Those look great! do they come painted from the manufacturer or did you send them out?

Again - nice ride!

Tom

Thanks Tom - They come painted to match the oem Kaw colors.

Thanks Trip - I thought they would look nice, but they surpassed my expectations. Ma Kawi should sell the Nomad like this!

[cheeseyrider]

I'll check these out. I figured I would have to remove them in the summer - Vents will definately be needed in the hotter months. I get nice-n-toast when the temps in the 30's.

[cheeseyrider]

Are these sold based on the year of the Nomad, or one size fits all?



They make two versions. 1999 - 2004 and 2005-2007. They'll paint them to match the factory color from the year of your bike.

[cheeseyrider]

They ain't cheap, the main fairing was $1450 and the lowers were $800, plus $125 shipping. This included the painting to match the oem, so I think the price is competitive with the other add-on fairings I've seen, and the quality is top notch.

I had the light bar on before the fairing with the oem window.

Yes, Premeux makes a real nice looking Tour-pak trunk that matches these. I was going to order that as well, but my wife really liked the look of the Corbin trunk, so I've got one of them on order. You can checkout their website:

Sweet! I like the smoked glass with the black bike - Very nice.

You still have a righteous lookin' scoot there, so I wouldn't feel tooo bad...

The blue/silver combo of your bike is my personal favorite. I'd love to see your bike with this setup - Although, it looks pretty dang good now.

Can't wait to see it!

Help with putting on hard pack lowers, the deflectors are in the way?

Chris

[ringadingh]

Do you mean the lowers from Premeux are hitting the kawi lowers on the forks?

Yes Premeux lowers are in the way of the Kaw lowers and with the CWI light Bar the piece of the arm is gouging the top end of the Premeux lowers. $800.00 shot to sh*t. But there has to be a solution. And I had the radio installed with the fairing but with me running Phat11 risers i cannot get the rain cover open, so before i tighten everything down i will need to put the memory card in, I'm thank full it's a 2GB will give me many hours of music. I had to drill a hole about the size of a tooth pick so I'm able to turn it on/off.... ask me if I'm having fun yet.... http://s2.images.proboards.com/angry.gif:(" title=">:(" border="0"/> http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif

[rewindgy]

You can use the Kawi lowers but not he Factory Lower mounts! I moved the plastic lowers up so they don't hit the Premuix Lowers and made new mounts. Also, turn the Radio cover 180 degrees ( or upside down) this way it opens up and you can get to the Radio for minor adjustments ( the Remote pretty much covers all of the functions you need day to day anyways). With the Cobra Lightbar I had to make an extender for the lightbar so it wouldn't hi t fairing & lowers - no big deal ( a plate from 1/4" steel moved lightbar ahead 1 1/2" so now everything fits. I am not sure why your light bar hits? A buddy of mine has the same lightbar and lower setup and his doesn't come closer than 1/2" to the top of his lowers at full lock?

Well after a few hours of meditation, a couple of problems solved. I bent the Kaw lower ahead about 16th of an inch which now clear the Premeux lowers. And with the light bar i put a small piece of rubber on the Premeux lowers where the end of the light bar touches the lower, now the paint won't be damage. As for the radio are you using Phat11 risers 4" if so then i will rotate the cover. Thanks for the info.

[ringadingh]

When my handlebars are turned either full left or right my fork lowers have about 1/2" clearance, however I have th F/S lightbar with the turn signals mounted on the ends of the lightbar,and the chrome housings of the turn signals just barely rub on the top of the Premeux lowers when the bars are turned to the full extreme. This has left a small mark about 3/16" on the lowers, but barely noticeable

[rewindgy]

Yes - I too suffer from the too short arm syndrome. Phat II 4" risers worked out just fine. Also, I used the front hole in the riser not the centre one - moves the risers back a tad. I also found my small tach nestles nicely between the risers and is in the perfect place!
