Hello from Columbus WI. Just bought a 2011 nomad blue/silver. Nice ride. I have a couple of question. Sounds like the belt whines around 25 to 30 mph. Is it to tight. and where can i get bigger plastic for my Windshield lowers. Getting some updraft. Does someone make them here on the fourm. Thanks. Jerry.

Welcome from Arizona! Chuckster131 is the one to check with about the lowers. I've got a set on my '08 and it really made a difference.

Welcome from Minnesota. Had belt whine with the 2010 but it went away. had some gear lash to at that speed 25-30 mph just get into 2nd gear. remember that the speed meter is off bike is going slower than indicated speed about 4 mph slower.for now going to lower gear should help with the belt whine to. I, know thay made some changes in 2011 but try it any way.
