Greetings from Valley Forge PA - New 2004 Nomad Owner

Quarterbore · 10-26-2014, 09:50 PM

Greetings Everybody! I am new here after just buying a 2004 Kawasaki Nomad 1500 yesterday. I was sent here by another Nomad Owner and I do have lots of questions but I will try to mine the old threads first.

My Nomad has 18k miles and I need to paint one saddlebag as it fell off on the previous owner but it is scratched up but not super bad. It is also quite a bit quieter then what I think I want with the factory exhaust but the original owner had added harley tips that make it look Good and it has a little rumble in its quiet kinda way.

The other thing I need to figure out is driving lights as I just think a big bike like these needs the triple lights.

Anyways, that is just a start as I have considered a trailer mount and a trunk unit too. Shoot, that is likely enough projects to keep me poor and busy for all of next year but I am glad to finally have a new bagger and glad to have been referred to your website.

Back to reading the archives for me but I wanted to say HI!

Your Big Assed Bike..can certainly keep you broke if you try to buy all the "bling bling"

You should first add lights..front and rear ! ...there is plenty of info here for any repairs/problems you may encounter !

...Welcome from the sun set slope of the High Sierra's
