Nomad Glide

gcsteve · 11-14-2013, 07:28 PM

Got the Reckless fairing on today. I put it on the Nomad wired it up ,radio turns on and.......no sound.

So I had to take fairing apart and found the wires going into the amp were not tightened down. So I tighten them up and boom music.

WOOHOO. Took a short ride and I am loving this thing. I got the fostgate amp and it is loud and clear. I will be riding some more this weekend to test it out on the hwy. I also need to put my lowers back on lots of air blowing upwards. The sstock risers are actually touching fairing and scratched the paint a bit, sad but you cant see it unless you look under there so no big deal. Riding around the music sounds great. The bluetooth hooked up to my phone and works great. The color match is perfect from reckless. Looks different in pic because the sun was right on it.

Very nice, you'll really appreciate it, especially in the rain.

I had an HD fairing on my Nomad. Definitely made a difference.

My first ride with the fairing and I pull into a parking lot look down and see 22000 even.

The fairing looks good.

Did you let Reckless know that the stock risers hit the fairing?

Thanks everyone for the comments. I went for a ride tonight only about 60 miles. Mostly in traffic. The Infinity radio with the 4 speakers and amp is really good. Very clear at 70mph. Tomorrow I will do some more hwy riding see how it sounds at 75-80. My wife told me it was too loud on hwy. I had to turn it down. So I took
My wife to a her meeting for work and dropped her off. Then I took a ride into city. Took this pick from 3rd ave and 31st. My Nomad has almost achieved zen. Really nice riding with the fairing. It was50 degrees out tonight and with the lowers, soft lowers and fairing I was sweating. Had to pull over and take my jacket off. Enjoy the pic.

Thanks! Thinking of taking out the two tone and going all red. Or maybe just get the bottom of the saddle bags painted like the 2014 Nomad. I didnt like the black and white 2014 at first but it grew on me.

It looks great. I installed mine about 2 months ago and really love it. I added the Fast Aire re-curve shield. It looks good, works great and fits right.

Very nice, I also noticed the kick a$$ air cleaner... Doyou have any info on it that you can share...?
