Vaquero Accessories and Prices

[petenomad]

The bag rail prices aren't that much different than current Nomad parts.

You will be able to go from 2 up tourer to solo tourer within minutes. I get the feeling that Kawasaki has big plans for this bike and more accessories will follow...

I'd be interested in that solo luggage rack for my '08 Nomad. Are the two fenders compatible?

Now I know why I Love my Nomad (at least it came with passenger boards a backrest) and I think I'll be sticking with it for a long while.

I wouldn't assume that they are.

If you want a solo rack for an '08, find one for a 1985-2003 Harley Sportster. I paid less than $35 for mine (brand new) off eBay. Obviously not quick-disconnect like the proposed one for the Vaquero.

Personally, I'd like to see a tourpak available for the Vaquero. That might be just the push I need to really consider one.

God, this is funny! I had an R90 and a K75. If memory serves me correctly the k-bike has a tank bage, BMW of course, that cost in the hundreds. Of course, you had to buy the mount, which was like a bra or mask that strapped to the tank, then the tang bank zipped onto that. Guess the Gerrys hadn't heard of magnets, yet.
