It is really a beauiful bike and I love being on it and accepting the looks is another pleasure with the Nomad.
One thing I have noticed with my bike is the wobble starts from 80 kilometers to 50s while decelerating if I don't hold the handle bar as some of the riders have mentioned in the forum, but this is not an issue for me since my hands are on the handle bar all the time.
I've been following this forum for a very long time. I envy you guys in the US gathering and riding together.
I wish you all the best and safe rides.
Welcome Mehmet, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Never been to Turkey, hear it is very pretty. My wife has wanted to vacation in Istanbul, so will find out some day.

As far as the wobble you speak of, I check quite often by taking the hands off, and have never quite seem to figure out why. It seems to do that mostly at certain speeds while decelerating, with it in gear. You will find that at the same speed if you have it in neutral, it usually won't wobble. It's this way with my Nomad or older bikes with chains instead of shaft, so I'm thinking that the problem is usually not wheel balance but the engine and gears making it go into a wobble.

Hello everyone again,

I want to thank you all about your sincere welcome and lovely comments on my bike as well as my country. If there is anyone of you thinking about a visit to Turkey I'd really like to be your host.

Since there are not many Nomads on the roads in Turkey, I can assume my black Nomad is the fastest in here.
People who can afford go to HD dealers to have a "chopper" which is a commonly used word to describe all kind of bikes with V engines and their common brand is HD nomatter what they actually are whereas Kawasaki is the brand for all sport bikes.

I've checked the wobble if it's there in neutral and noticed it is as smooth as a silk. I'll use its stock tires until next season because of budget issues. I'll see if tires will help with the wobble next year despite I don'T think because it seemed that it is about the vibration of the engine between certain speeds and RPM.

I hope to add some mods starting with the exhaust and a fairing next year,till then I'll enjoy how it is which is already a great looking and sounding bike.
I'll be reading and commenting on your beautiful bikes and great rides here too. Thank you again all of you fellow riders. Hope to meet you one day somewhere.

Yarbasan,Mehmet
