Great looking bike !

How are you attaching the tourpack, so it comes on/off like that?

I want the bagger look also, but it would be nice to have a tour pack that was a quick release

That is a Premeux fairing, when I first got it it just had the stereo in it, but still looked kind of plain and empty. I added the gauges earlier this summer and it really adds to the look of the fairing.
I still have one more small hole to drill for my handlebar heater switch but am having trouble deciding on where to do it so it looks like it belongs rather than an afterthought.

10/4, nice job !

Bump :)

Wiz, let me know if you want some info. on mounting your J&M CB. I was able to find an adapter so you can mount a good bottom mount adjustable CB antenna on the trunk, otherwise good luck trying to get a good signal adjustment with a standard HD antenna.

Here is my 02 this was taken last summer after I added the trunk and fairing. Quadzilla type and Reckless but it was an HD and had to modify the brackets for the Nomad. I only have to remove 4 of the windshield bracket bolt locations (original) and disconnect the power and the entire batwing can be removed in about 5 minutes. Trunk not as easy. I did make the mount for the trunk from a one piece of 6061 1/8 inch aluminum bent into shape which makes it very strong. ;)

Hope the pics come out. Host of small modifications done too numerous to mention or remember now..

Edit: fixed the problem so no need to download the attachment.

I tried to upload your bike Scott, and it gave it as attachment also

Try using photobucket, and then copy & paste to here, then everyone can see it :)

OK so let's try this here and see what happens if all goes well it should show the pictures I have uploaded from photobucket







That did it, hope there not too big. I'll play with sizing sometime.

ve3hzz {Scott ??? } Nice bike!! I like the way you did the paint on the fairing. I suggested that to my paint guy but he did it the way it is. He also said he'd put a double pinstripe on but didn't. I wasn't real happy, and maybe I should have had him redo the whole thing, but he was fast, cheap, {$300. for the two tone and single stripe, on the tank and fairing} Plus the repair shop fixing/holding the bike wanted to reassemble the bike and get the job finished. I'm happy.
But I really like the way yours is done.
What make of trunk is that? Looks to be from an older Voyager, .....maybe a Yamaha Venture.?
Anyway it looks good.

Thanks Rick, appreciate the comments. The fairing didn't turn out EXACTLY as I'd like it as the clearcoat ran (to humid when I painted it) and so I MAY infact redo it, but I think it will wait till next winter. I didn't use my NEW HVLP paint gun so my bad!!! I liked the distinction of the 2 tone in that way from the standard, as it was different thanks for noticing.
As for the tour pak...well it's a DMY type. I made up the 2 brake lites (LED) from a rubber mounted hole type and the chrome "hats" which is how they are attached to the trunk. I put on chrome door edge and 3/4 inch wide body side moulding along the bottom. I also made the 1 piece of aluminum frame it sits on from 6061 bent into shape. The fairing is like the Reckless one, but it's on line and for an HD hence had to modify the brackets to make it work on my stock windshield mounts. I can have it off in about 5 minutes which is better for any work needed. Still a work in progress, yes after 8+ years still not done with it..LOL...many more things to do.

Again thanks for the comments.

Regards

Scott

See my signature line photos of my '08 with a Wide Open Custom fairing and an older Bates trunk that I refurbished and mounted in a solo setup.

Here's a picture of the back of the fairing with the Jensen marine stereo and 4 speaker set up that WOC offers. In place of the little storage bin I added a small panel that I fabbed from aluminum plate and installed a power outlet, a Dakota Digital tach and a couple of lighted switches and a push button for my garage door opener. RAM mount for my Garmin GPS on the left handlebar.

I like the setup, nice. One reason I mounted my GPS (Garmin 760) in the middle facing me was that it is the easiest to see in bright lighting and when playing MP3's via it can see and make adjustments on the fly. I have a power plug in on the right side. I'm looking at where can put a gauge or 2? but for the most part I like the fact I can have it OFF in about 5 minutes now.

Nice bike looks good and I'm sure it's very comfortable for you.

I mounted my GPS in the centre of the fairing as well, just above the radio. I like it there better also, for the same reason you stated. Its a good location for those units.

[fltekdiver]

what mount did you both use? The one for the handle bars?
