Hello from Finland

Hi and thanks for letting me join this nice forum. I have been reading this forum for a while. But now I decided it was time to register.

Just upgraded to a VN 1500 Classic Tourer/Nomad. It´s a 1999 and it has been driven just over 10000 miles.

The first thing I did was to order a Memphis Shades Batwing with a 5" spoiler windshield and trigger locks of course. Had an 650 Dragstar/V-star sometimes and did the same there. Next on the "to do" list is to get a pair of dual exhaust. And from what I have read here I think I´ll go for Cobra instead of V&H.

And then of course probably re-jet the carb...

Thank you all! Just waiting for the batwing. Then I´ll try to find someone who can paint it during the winter. The driving season is soon over here so there will be lots of time for the upgrades. Around 41F outside this morning.

and soon this land will freeze to ice once again.

Welcome up north from germany. Your bike looks exactly like the one I had. Same color, same year, but sold mine with 20.000 mls.

Have fun !

Cu,
Sven

Thank you! Here is a pic of the Classic yesterday. I had to take it out for a ride. Now the batwing should be on its way.
