Drifter Fender

phidelt503 · 10-27-2010, 08:50 PM

Is it possible to modify a Drifter fender or purchase a modified one that will fit an '04 Nomad?

**MAS Tequila** · 10-27-2010, 09:26 PM

Possible...yes

Practical...

The forks are wider on the Nomad, the brakes are different, and the fender mounts differently.

Just seems it would be very complicated to do. I am sure it could be fabricated to work.

It has been done in the past.

If it's that flared look you want I'd buy a used Nomad fender and add some metal, fill, sand, and paint. I doubt you'll get the enclosed brake caliper look but you can try. Just a thought.
Good luck man.

I bought a Drifter fender and the guy threw in the rest of the bike so I didn't have to mess with putting it on my Nomad.

I can honestly say I am never going to want anything Harley.
The rest of you guys are on your own on this one. :)

Thanks for the info guys. I thought maybe someone on here had done it before. I love the Indian fender look!

There is a guy down in Ft. Lauderdale that has done the complete change on the frontend. He goes by the name Jobear on VROC and is on a couple Delphi forum boards. It is a cool looking bike but he has done a ton of alterations. http://jobear2.com/

I have talked with him a couple times, great guy.
