hello to all, just joined. I am looking at a 2004 vulcan nomad 1500 fi this afternoon, it has 60k on it and I am wondering what issues/concerns I should have. The seller said the mileage was high from Sturgis and Florida runs. Says it runs and drives fine, also says that in 4k miles it consumed approx 1 pt of oil. He is asking 3500 any opinions? thanks

Greetings from Las Vegas! Did the current owner do his own maintenance? Does he have any records? If it's been well maintained, it probably has lots of miles left in it. Good luck!

Welcome aboard! There are really no major issues with those bikes, if its in good shape, with regular maintenance it should last a good long while.
