April 2012 - rustyford's Nomad!

rustyford writes:

Here are a few pics of my '01. It was originally red...that is until we went through a tornado while we were on vacation. The bike came through amazingly well, just some dents and scratches. The only mechanical thing wrong was a broken spark plug wire. I decided that was as good a time as any to repaint. I got tired of all the red bikes I was seeing and decided to do something a litle different.
I went with a Reckless fairing and added a Sony stereo and Rockford Fosgate marine speakers. I also added a tour pack with wrap around backrest to keep the wife happy. We also decided to smooth out the saddle bag doors just to change things up a bit. The paint and body work was tackled by Dusty Brown from Woodward Oklahoma. We went with DuPont brilliant black over white pearl.. Pictures just don't do the paint justice.
The tag on it reads "Nader," as in hit by a tornader, but it doesn't even look like the same bike.
Here are a few in solo form and before I got the tour pack on.

Thanks, "Rustyford"

Nice looking bike and an interesting paint job - kind of an old school look. I don't care for the debadged look, though.

Wow, I love the curves of the two tone on the bags! I'm looking at paint next winter and I might shamelessly steal that shape or do something similar! Looks great!
