I suspect this is the usual problem.

I'm not sure what the regulator on the nomad is but a back feed could easily be a problem.

This is what my '07 does. In a hard curve it tends to keep wanting to rise up and fall off. You have to keep modulating pressure on the handlebar to maintain your line through the curve.

If you ever t-bone a deer like I have you'll be glad you have mag wheels. Spokes can collapse and dump you badly. Mags usually won't.

My Cobra 04-0442 lightbar mounts with two bolts on each side, nothing underneath where the original turn signal bar mounted. The side bolts go into the windshield mounts. I wasn't happy with the fit,...

I've got over 40K miiles on my 2007 with no slippage. But I do hardly any in-town driving. Not much stop and go.

Hey guys, everything I read on here talks about welding the pipe back together.

I can't tell you how many exhaust pipes on cars I have simply brazed together and never had any further problem.

I'll probably get shot for it but if you are interested in something with "Road" in the title, check out a Yamaha Road Star Silverado. From just sitting on bikes in the showroom the ergonomics on it...

I don't carry a tow strap now but I think I'll get one!

This is just plain cool. I used a strap like this once to help pull a calf having trouble being born but never to rescue one!

I get the same thing once in a while. I too have the cobra fi2000r but I have the caddman mod. I probably need to clean the throttle body as well. It doesn't happen very often, maybe once a month so...

I used a coping saw to cut a pair out of lexan. It takes longer but works great. I then got a pair of Chucksters and had to modify them a little to fit with the Cobra light bar. Coping saw to the...

pulling to the left

My bike had a weeble-wobble when it would get a puff of a cross-wind. No pulling though. It fixed itself one day when it felt like someone hit one of the triple trees with a big hammer.

Where to find Leather Jacket.

I got my leathers at ebikerleather.com. Good prices. Decent quality. They *are* from Pakistan, I don't know if it's goatskin or cowhide -- don't much care either. The coat is a Pistol-Pete and comes...

NEVERMIND 68,000 miles/ first problem

Your charging system may be bad and let the battery run down. Or the battery may have just gone bad. The Nomad doesn't have a permanent magnet in its alternator, it requires an external battery to...

Oil in the wind.....

Had an old 351M in a Ford pickup that did the same thing. It had leaky piston rings raising the pressure in the oil reservoir causing a lot of oil to be pushed out. I have the Caddman mods on my air...

Extra Gas - How??

The rotopax appear to be of the same kind of construction my old gas tank had. From a strength viewpoint they might be ok. My concern would be whether they are vented or not. As LoneWolf said,...

Extra Gas - How??

I used to race enduros with a plastic tank on my Penton dirt bike. It was a heavy duty plastic that was flexible under pressure much like a bladder. I know from experience having dumped it in...

WOW!!! I don't think I could do this if I practiced all day, everyday for a year. This guy has some outstanding hand-eye coordination.

Extra Gas - How??

Maximum Wattage Output?

If I remember correctly the 120w is for the light circuit by itself. 12v times 10 amps = 120 watts. I think the light circuit is fused at 10 amps so this limit makes sense. If your aux lights are...
