After riding last weekend 940 miles rounds trip, around 15 hours round trip non-stop from FL, to SC, I picked up my 2006 Nomad with 8K miles, shiny black, that was last Thursday on 12/30. One week later, the bikes getting some work done !

Starting tomorrow, Saturday 1/8 , the bikes getting jacked up and the fun begins !

Luggage rack
Grips
fuel commander
Light bar
Fiber glass lowers
Front tire going to be changed to a Avon Cobra

Pics will be coming up in a few days as the progress goes on !

The ultimate goal for myself, is to accomplish " The Bagger Look "

I'd like to change out the stock seat for a solo seat, buy I do ride the wife on the back, so the rear seat and backrest has to stay.

I like this bike allot, and have had a few Honda VTX's, one was a show bike with a $4K paint job, a Yamaha Venture, had a 2005 Goldwing, and now the Kawaski Nomad.

I'm really pleased with this bike, love the ride ride of it, and am going to be really happy once I get the look, I'm looking for with this bike.

It's going to be a fun project, and wanted to thank everyone for their help and support I have been receiving from such wonderfull people on the KawaNOW forms

Pics starting tomorrow !

Sounds like your gonna be busy for a while. Youll need a Tour Pak to complete that bagger look your after as well.

[fltekdiver]

Thanks, no tour pack, the look I'm going for is the HD Street Glide Look.

13,523 post, I love it :)

What did you do, rob a bank? Sounds like you have got everything lined up. Good luck and looking forward to the pictures.

Soon, you'll need a second job to support your habit. Once that bling monkey gets on your back, there's no turning back.

Enjoy it while you can.

[jmilucky]

you all have no idea...you should see him cranked up with the RC planes!

[fltekdiver]

LOL is only one hobby, I didn't mention about RC airplanes, which I have thousands in, off shore fishing boat, scuba diving, mototycles, and the list goes on...........lol

Here's some pics before it begines, I'm jacking the bike up now

[ndbigfish]

I would like to hear how the H-D Street Glide mirrors work out on the Reckless fairing for sure.

[fltekdiver]

Heres one pic, gotta get to work :)

[jandreu]

The three M's in Mods, Mods, Mods should stand for Men, Money, Machines

Good luck with the project and don't forget to ride a little also.

One more thing, I have the Night Rider scrolling LED lic. frame. I love it but my bud's refuse to ride behind me as they say all they look at is the scrolling LED's. I say toooo bad, catch me if you can!

[fltekdiver]

LOL, Bubba, It is a little annoying, but I'd rather someone get pissed and not rear end me, and go around me, then it not be there at all. But I know what your buddies are saying

Pic of the bike raised up, along with the shiney V&H Exaust that the mail man just bought me :)

[fltekdiver]

Everything went perfect, took about 2 hours to jack the bike up, remove everything from the rear, and I installed the new rear brakes today, and removed the stock exhaust along with the goat bladder for the V&H exhaust. I ordered the swing arm seals today, I forgot about those, and ordered the dyna beads the other day. So as soon as both them come in, ( BY Wensday ) the laterst, I can bring the trie over to get it mounted, finish the swing arm assembley, and assemble everything back together along with the new exhaust. I'll change the rear gear oil, also then, and the engine oil, which I have the bike up.

I'm hoping by Next weekend to be riding again, and in another week the fairing should be back from the painter, so I can began the faring project

[mobandy78]

That is a lot of work! I bet it'll be a sweet ride when you get it all done. I have the Night Riderz LED's also and love them! They are very bright and get a lot of attention.
