1600 Classic into a 1600 Nomad

If you get the bag mounting hardware off a 1500 Nomad can you put them on a 1600 Classic Will the Vance and Hines True Duals for a 1500 nomad fit a 1600 Classic (if you can mount the 1500 Bags)

The pipes should fit with no problems, you will just need to fabricate some brackets to support them. As for the bags, if the bolt spacing on the fender struts are the same, you should have no problem installing the bag supports on the Classic.

Brother in law has a Classic and was wondering if these bags would work I figured that he would have to use the pipes also after putting Nomad bags on

I believe the 1500 Nomad and 1600 Classics have different frames so you may have to play with the bag mounting to get them on. Not impossible by any means.
