Self adjusting VALVES?

kurtfraser · 06-23-2008, 11:50 AM

Just wondering about something I read about the nomad. It has self adjusting valves. Does that mean no more valve adjustments?

Looking at my next bike I plan to buy in the next two years. Right now I drive a Concours. No valve adjustments seem sweat.

Yup hydralic lifters just like many cars.... The only time these get adjusted is when the engine is built, or re-built...

OK, this machine has my attention. How much would it cost to get a trunk with a back rest, and put on a pat wing fairing?

you can find some of that on ebay prob for couple a hundred bucks

There's lots of trunks for lots of prices. You can spend $200 or $2000

Same goes for fairings.

With a few mods, you can put used HD gear on it pretty cheap, and have good quality stuff. The paint could cost a lot or a little, depending.

Good to know. I really like the look with the mods.

Thats right, if you shop around you can find a lot of deals on accessories for Nomads.
