chrome lowers

I have seen chrome lowers similar to those on other bikes that are clear like the windshield. Does anyone have pics and information on where I can get some for my 2000 Nomad (carbureted)

I had chrome lowers on my 650 Yamaha. Liked the look. Couldn't get them for the nomad though.
The ones I had were from National Cycle.

I had chrome lowers I bought from Value Accessories for my 2005 C50T. I believe they were made by Custom World International.

You could try to make some out of stainless steel, if you have a bit of time.

Premeux has some very nice ones that he will paint to match your bike. As a matter of fact Premeux is only about 200 miles north of where I live. No sense in trying reinvent the wheel. I just don't have any place to really work on my bike. And besides that, I don't think this bike will make a full-dressed tourer. It has bad-boy genes. I would buy a new Nomad 1600 FI for that.

racinchef, are you talking about the lowers (that mount on the engine guard) like the Harley Ultra Classic, or the lowers that mount on the forks like our NADs already have that are clear?

I have the Premeux lowers on my bike and while they do look almost exactly like the Harley lowers, they are a lot smaller in comparison. They are narrower and shorter. I think it would take a lot of cutting and fitting to make the HD's work on a Nomad. I would attempt adapting HD lowers only if I had some that I received for free and didn't mind spending a lot of time on.
