ok... I'm done now... I swear
Alright guys. After many mods, countless cans of Plasti-dip, SG front wheel/fender install I have come to my senses.
I peeled off all the plasti-dip and painted the bike a new gloss black. I sold the HD bags and found a score on a OEM pair of Nomad bags. Bought some Cobra true duals with billet tips, installed 11" santee apehangers and Im in love with the look of my bike. I love the front HD wheel/Fender install. And I'm so pumped about my new saddlebags. I've installed speakers in the HD fairing where the speedo and tachometer once we're. Everything has come together beautifully. Below is a side by side of my bike when I first bought it (right) and on the left is the bike with all the plasti-dip,HD bags, HD wheel/fender. Picture_1.jpg These pictures below are my bike and it stands now20150520_175951.jpg 20150520_131206-1.jpg It's beautiful isn't it?

Looks really good. Are you putting more lights in the back of the bags? I only ask because I see the cut outs.

One of the best parts of the Nomad look is the saddlebags, she looks MUCH better with the correct bags. Very nice looking bike.

Now that is a nice bike.....I'm a little biased tho. But really a good job, o-yeah and that was a real score on the bags. Another proud moment in the world of Vulcan.

No way! Thanks man. Your youtube video of your nomad gave me a lot of ideas. I've watched it at least 10 times. I decided to go with the santee apes that you installed and they are perfect. Thanks again and ride safe.
