Extreme Makeover, Nomad Addition.

**Rebel Chaplain** · 06-02-2013, 07:10 PM

Project done, mostly. I have a couple other small things I want to do but for the most part I'm done.
Reckless fairing with Infinity Bluetooth.
Reckless tour pac.
Vance & Hines touring baggers with Power Commander.
Wompus Rack.
I couldn't be happier with the way it came out. Reckless did a great job of matching the color. If anyone decides to do what I did though I will caution you, keep in mind that with Reckless not offering the hardware with the trunk, if you have them paint it you will have to mount the hardware and drill the holes for the hardware AFTER it's been painted.
With the upgraded hinges that I got (the nice chrome ones) each hinge requires 10 (yes that's ten) holes be drilled, per hinge. Plus the other stuff. I saw a huge opportunity to screw things up so I brought it to Harley for them to do it. That cost about as much as the painted trunk.
But all in all I'm glad I did it and love the results.

Thanks. I'm just glad the bike didn't.
I don't know what happened. It looked fine before I posted it.

It's nice when you get them just the way you want them ... so I've heard. For some reason. I keep finding things I need!

Its great to get them like you want them until you say I wonder what that would look like or how can I get more power or more gas mileage and start the process over again Bike looks great enjoy.
