Received my fender caps today

worth the wait held up in customs over Christmas :( Fitted rear cap first took about 15 Min's, front was more difficult so i ended up removing the front fender from the bike (much easier)

Very Nice!

donguer · 01-03-2008, 04:44 PM

I have the same ones. They really make the bike! You're not going to stop there are you?

mrfuni · 01-03-2008, 06:57 PM

Just got my rear fender tip today. I'll work on it over the weekend.
Now go for the luggage rack, light bar, etc. etc.

Looking good ianicky.

Those tips from national cycle are boss, but pricey.

ianicky · 01-04-2008, 03:13 AM

Only had the bike a month and yes this is the first of many mods, next is getting the radiator cover chromed :) already getting ear ache from the wife lol

Icky,

Very nice! Definitely worth the wait. Had same on my Suzi C50T and really adds a nice, subtle touch to the overall look, IMO. Now, I think the front caliper cover is in order, don't you??? Or some lower fork covers? The latter REALLY finishes off the front end.

Sorry if calling you "icky" offends. Saw that and immediately thought of Monty Python: "alright, from now on we're no longer the knights that say NEEK. We're the knights who say ICKY ICKY PATOOOOOOOO". Right.

Welcome aboard, BTW. Grab a pint and jump on in!

Now you just need to gut those pipes ;)

ianicky · 01-04-2008, 09:14 AM

Yeah been thinking about gutting the pipes but I'm not sure how loud they are after the gutting. We have to be careful as it can fail its annual MOT test if the pipes are to loud. I cant find anyone in the UK who has done this to a Nomad.

Nice touch. Classy LQQk'n!!!

rcmedic · 01-05-2008, 09:07 PM

Very nice. Where did you pick those up at?

towering · 01-05-2008, 10:02 PM

they look great

basco · 01-05-2008, 10:11 PM

They look good did you have to take the fenders off to install them

ianicky · 01-06-2008, 01:26 PM

rcmedic,
Got them from the following link
http://store.valueaccessories.net/in...S&Category=453

basco,
The instructions that come with the fender tips tell you that they can be fitted on the bike, the rear tip was easy as you have a lot of space between the tyre and fender, but the front fender things are a lot closer, its only 4 bolts to remove the front fender and made things a lot easier.
