Quick video of my conversion.

Very nicely done !

I like the look . I do really love the way your bike has that galloping note to your exhaust . I've always wondered why some do and some don't .

How do you like your fairing ? I've been contemplating getting one for a couple of years now .

Any plans on new paint ??

The gallop is just for show. I idle it down when cruisng. Otherwise it's likely to stall taking off LOL.
Love the faring, and the hard bags. Even if i switch back to the soft tail heritage look I'll keep the bags on.
Not sure about the paint yet, do i paint it black....or red?

It looks good, now you need a nice beer box to finish it off.

I'm liking that...Black bikes are eveywhere, Red.

Wrap it. Cheaper than paint and options are endless. Plus you can always go back to stock.

Very nice job, I like the look

One with the "Beer Box" LOL

I am not knocking the bike but when you see Harley bags on a Kawasaki it makes you appreciate how good Kawasaki designed the Nomad bags to flow with the lines of the bike.

I'm just the opposite. I detest the nomad bags, almost as much as the "leather like" bags mine came with.
I've gotten both good and bad feedback on these but at the end of the day it's pleasing to me.

That looks nice, VnH pipes? With ultimate baffles?
I would say paint it Black!

"Black Bikes Matter"!

And yes on a beer box!

That's all that matters.
