After watching you make it mate and the work you put into it I can honestly say it is a master piece of your trade.

Ok Eds, here comes the "inevitable" question,
How Much?

madcow · 01-05-2009, 05:44 AM

mmmmm nice indeed, if you can distract him on the run aj i can have it swapped in a few miniutes..... it would look great with colored stitching to match the nomad.

on topic my nomad has a lot of special features, lots of dings and scratches from my latest run of bad luck. i was hoping to have it all fixed by the castlemaine run but it looks like the nomad will go in for surgery the week after the run.

Don't let it bother you MC, My old girl has all the wear and tear fitting her years (and K's) So I'm in the same boat as you. We can compare scars on the 18th. Cheers!

Eds is a very clever upholsterer and also makes chaps for the crash bars and tank bibs most of the bike's in our club here have one of his peices of handywork on their bike.
He has made me a set of chaps and a tank bib reupholstered my wife's seat after I damaged it(long story) and his prices a very good.

finky · 01-05-2009, 03:14 PM

Oh he also does lambs wool seat cover's

madcow · 01-06-2009, 04:58 AM

the last thing i need is more comfort. i cant keep off the damn thing as it is. i got a guy to quote all my repairs while i was in shepparton today, it looks like about 2 grand to get her back to new again.

finky · 01-06-2009, 03:30 PM

Small price to pay to have her looking her best again although better of waiting till the cooler months or you might miss out on some good riding.Do you know a guy in Murchison that has a black 2006 Nad?
It is up for sale at the moment and a mate of mine is looking at buying it,looks ok from the pics
8,000K stock for $15000.

madcow · 01-07-2009, 05:18 AM

no i dont know him, but i do know murchison, its a really nice place and a real traditional small town. the official quote came in today at $2400 using all new genuine kawasaki parts. it will go in soon to be done as it drives me nuts seeing like it is. also i will use the xj900 to ride before i sell it so i will still have a bike to ride. is the guy from murch coming on the ride? it would be a good way to check out the bike.

finky · 01-07-2009, 03:42 PM

No he is however riding the bike down to Melbourne for Rick in 2 weeks Rick thought he might have it for our ride but we will have to wait and see if not he will be on his 900 classic

madcow · 01-08-2009, 05:28 AM

it sure would be a great time to show off a new ride. i sat on a 900 at the shop when i had the nomad in there and boy it felt small, im sure he will love the upgrade to a nomad.

finky · 01-08-2009, 03:34 PM

Unfortunately Rick is a bit verticaly challenged so the 900 looked good under him the Nomad is going to look massive with him on board. Until he gets used to it someone may have to hold it up for him while he parks LOL

eds · 01-08-2009, 03:51 PM

hey finky i hope our rick does not read that he might be a bit upset lol.

madcow · 01-08-2009, 07:14 PM

could put on a set of training wheels for him. these things sure are heavy at low speeds,
