There are other differences........the Classic (which I have) has spoke wheels and the Nomad has cast. the Nomad has two front brake rotors, the Classic has one. Because of this the front forks are different. I understand that the ECU programming is a bit different. One for cruising and one for touring. The engine is basically the same as is the frame and rear suspension. Different model years of both bikes were carb or FI.

I'm sure there are a few others as well and someone will point them out.

I believe the front end of the nomad is wider than the classic. How much, I don't know.

No it won't, I tried. The Nomad and Classic have different forks so the mounting hardware won't swap. the shield itself might though.
