Latest (and last for now) Additions...

Okay....I know I have said this before....but I mean it this time (I think... ::)). I am done with my winter mods and ready to roll for this spring ! After getting my Tour Pack mounted and modded up, it was time for a few last items.

First I added a Powerlet auxilliary power outlet to the handlebar (wired to the battery)....





Next I ponied up the $$$ for a Garmin Zumo 550 GPS and mounted it on the left handlebar where I can easily reach it in a fully reclined position without having to lean forward. It is hard-wired to a switched power source in the headlight bucket. An added bonus is that my left eye is my best one, so it is in a good viewing position....





I then picked up one of those kits to lower and tilt the passenger floorboards. Ya gotta throw the wife a bone every now and then ... ;)....




Lastly, though no photos to go with it, I added a K&N stock replacement filter and a Dynojet Power Commander III fuel processor! I was quite impressed with the added overall power, especially the roll-on power at high speed. It now goes from 55 to 85 in the blink of an eye!

So there you have it guys and gals...my pimped out 2008 Blue/Silver Nomad is loaded, loud and ready to rock! I think I single-handedly kept our US economy from going completely under this winter . Now the wife is on full "Mod Alert" after she scanned through the check register recently... !

It's all good though and I have everyone here to thank for all of your great ideas and suggestions! None of what I have done to my bike (it is a long list) since I bought in new last year would have been possible without your help and inspiration. My pocketbook would have been better off had I never heard of you guys...but that's another story.... ....

I'm looking very forward to meeting many of you in Custer this June and riding with a few local members around here as well. Thanks again Trip for such a great site and forum!
