Hey you

Hi, first time on site. I'll give a little background. I have an 05 nomad that I bought new. I emmidiately wanted to add accessories, but quickly found out the was not much for the nomad, anywhere. I did not belong to any club and was unaware of others (not very profiecient on the computer, either). A year went by and in meantime, joined the midwest chapter of vulcan riders. There I found out about gadgets website. I tinkered with debaffling and the intake. I built a fairing out of an old crotch rocket fairing and bought a gold wing tour pack for $100 and built the bracket to mount that. I went on my first long trip (800 mi.) straight through to Okla. where my folks live. Since then, I have put V&H baggers on, cobra processor, made lowers to fit fairing (was 40 degrees when left wisconsin), put silverado light bar on (had to build bracket), & wired for trailer. I still need a trailer hitch and my winter project is to build a trailer for the nomad. Any ideas on width/length would be helpful. Really enyoy the web site, have already found it very useful. Cant wait till my rear tire wears out so I can go to the darkside! Hope to be seeing, riding, and talking to everyone in the future. Thanks

Welcome to the world of Nomads from the great state of Mississippi.
now I want to know what your trunk mount looks like I have one I made and it is fine but I see you still have the grab handles and I like that.

Welcome from West Central Florida. Chuckster, here on the board, builds a nice hitch for the Nad. Also, many of us have built homemade trailers for our Nads. Mine is strictly a stock trailer from Northern Tool, with 12" wheels, a plywood deck and a car topper I had in the garage.

If you want to get into the modification of the trailer, I suggest you visit the Delphi Motorcycle Trailer Towing forum: http://forums.delphiforums.com/MCTrailertowing/start There are a ton of guys over there that have modified their builds a ton.

Enjoy the Nomad Nation!
