Could be the car tire is scaring people off. Nice bike though - good luck with the sale.

I agree with Scott. As stupid as it may be, the car tire probably throws your credibility as a previous owner down the drain for some potential buyers.

**Jared** · 01-29-2014, 11:23 AM

BTW, I love the bars! I wish I could afford a chrome pair right now!

dmyers · 01-29-2014, 01:19 PM

If someone can't see past an add-on that will have to be changed eventually anyway,,, Well

cactusjack · 01-29-2014, 02:18 PM

Well...people do, and it could be costing you money.

I replaced my car tire with a motorcycle tire because I was going to sell or trade my Nomad. Unfortunately, it didn't make it that far.

dshelly · 01-29-2014, 03:44 PM

The tire issue wouldn't make any difference to me . I could just swap it out easily enough. But for most guys I can see where that would raise a RED Flag.

dmyers · 01-29-2014, 05:35 PM

I just don't think it will matter to someone who really wants to buy it. It wouldn't matter to me at all.
The bike is payed for and so it can just set there till the right person comes along
This is one of the slickest Nomads you will ever see.
Somewhere out there is the guy who knows this is the bike he wants

So what did you move up to?

dmyers · 01-29-2014, 08:00 PM

2012 green Vaquero,, You know,, The Fast One,,

hullster · 01-29-2014, 08:46 PM

I though the black one was the one...?

dmyers · 01-29-2014, 09:12 PM

How could you tell, Know one can see the darn things

hullster · 01-29-2014, 09:16 PM

Nothing goes better with stealth than speed. Love the green, almost bought one but got to good of a deal on the black one. Dealer leftover and wanted it gone.

hullster · 01-29-2014, 09:20 PM

I still owe you a picture of your bars on the bike, should get my new grips in a few days, mirrors came in a few days ago. As soon as I get them and put them on i'll post a pic . Looking forward to seeing what you do with your vaquero.

**schoeney** · 01-29-2014, 09:28 PM

As polarizing the Darkside subject is I suspect you reduced your potential buyers by 30-40%.

40-50% - Know and like the Darkside
30-40% -Know and and don't like the Darkside, some 50% will change it out 50% won't want to mess with it.
10-15% - Are ignorant to the whole Darkside issue and will move on (mostly newbies)

I have always liked the look of your bike.....good luck and congrats on the new one!
