Just purchased Vulcan Nomad 1600 after having Honda Shadow Aero 750. Gotta tell you the Vulcan is the best bike I have ever been on. Lot's of power and it just feels so right to be on. Look forward to talking in the group again.

Welcome!! That's a good looking ride. Any plans for some mods? Saddlebags, floor boards, exhaust? Love the color, congrats

 

Great lookin' scoot, man. Have any plans for mods?

 

didn't plan on making any mods but I am open for suggestions. What would be some good ones?

 

thanks for the compliment

You can get plenty of ideas from some of the forums, like:www.vroc.org,customcruising.com or the delphi forums. I have an '05 Classic 1600 FI. I love the bike, but wanted to increase the performance and power. Also, I wanted my "growl" from the exhaust, as the stock pipes are too quite. The most common thing done is change the exhaust, air intake and add a fuel processer to gain better performance. I did the above changes myself and can say the bike now performs quite well. Best of luck and visit those websites I listed. There's plenty of help there too if you're having a particular problem or issue with your bike. God Bless and give yourself some time to get used to the extra weight and handling characteristics of the Nomad.

I appreciate the info........I will have to do something like that to it soon. Take good care of yourself.

 

I am also a new 06 nomad owner #326 off the production line. I have a question for you, is the clear on you're nomad scratching from you're legs rubbing against it. I am having a hard time keeping that black paint looking good. I just have 1250 miles at this posting but have owned several other bikes, the wide design of the tank is beautiful but needs some protection. At this time I am going to try some 3m clear paint scratch protector,has any one else tried this? JTD

 

JTD...as a new 2006 Nomad owner I've been wondering about ways to protect the tank as well.

 

Hello Sarch. Congrats on the Nomad. Sweet ride. I know there is a company that makes some precut clear vinyl for the exact purpose of protecting the paint on the tank for the Nomad. I saw it one day surfin' online. I can not remember the site or the company though. If you give me a day or so, I can see if I can find it for ya....
