Nomads are meant to be ridden, not turned into a trailer queen. Ride her, man.

Sometimes to keep peace in the family (and if I want to ride when we get there) mine has to be trailered (wife does not ride)

Just painted the fairing OEM 726 "Ocean metalic Blue". Now get it mounted, rub it down, polish it, and should be ready for the rally.

Got the fairing buffed out. Turned out slick but the color looks is a little darker. Might be me though.
Also installed Mustang seats and a driver back rest. ![]()

Nice Bike...Congrats
I bought my '08 Nomad several months ago and it only had 542 miles on her! I would be interested to see how you like the fairing as opposed to the stock shield. Enjoy the ride!

My fairing is a Premeux, and the trunk is an '02 HD Ultra Classic king tour pak mounted on a Wompus rack. I matched the paint by taking a saddlebag into the local automotive paint store, and he used a device to determine the colors. The silver was an exact match right away, but the blue had to fully cure (about 2 months) before it was an exact match, and that's what the guy at the paint shop told me too. I got a pic from the front, and back. ![]()
