I bought a Nomad two weeks ago and haven't been able to ride it too much because of the rain/snow that we have had for the last week, so I decided to start modifying it. After making a pillion seat for my VN900 I felt confident that I could make a few other vinyl accessories. What do you guys think?

Engine guard chaps.

That bike sure looks good!!! I really like the old school leather and studs look. Great Job. Someday I want to find someone who can stud my stock seat and sissy bar pad to match my new studded grasshopper backrest. Ride Safe!!!

I would do my seat but I'm looking at getting a studded mustang seat.

Looks really good. What did you use on the backs to keep the studs from scratching the paint?

I made two giant button holes to slide over the bottom mounting thingys. I'll take some pics and will post them later.

The back is lined with a thick felt.

Yeah I've been on that forum a lot longer and I'm more familiar with how things work there. Slowly, I'm trying to how things work here.

Yep.. that was me. 900classic was my old avatar name. I changed my name on the forum to Utah Motorcyclist as well.

I think you have waaay to much time on your hands get out there and ride/ ;)
Seriously, very nice work. You could probably sell them if you needed some extra income.

If anyone is interested in having me make something for them, sent me a PM. I'd be more than happy to do it.
