i`m changing the nomad mufflers to the vulcan 750 mufflers . they will be here this week and i`m thinking of removing the goat belly and running straight pipes to the 750 mufflers .

Norman, I am intrigued by the exhaust and have a few questions.  I've been waiting for the RoadHouse Doolies thing to materialize in another thread so I can get dual exhausts before going to Stergis but apparently that thread was just a tease or something...

You said the exhaust was for a Nomad 1600.  What make are the pipes (I assume Vance and Hines?) and what year Nomad reference for ordering?   Did you make custom mounts for both sides or did you buy them somewhere?    And lastly, why are you swapping them out, didn't you like the sound?

Appreciate any response, I really want to get a dual exhaust on my bike before we leave for Sturgis August 1st ... thanks

Did the brake disc fit straight on?

i found the rotor in ebay , its for a vulcan 1500 it was brand new and i made a offer for 125 and they took it and yes if fits perfect. kawasaki wants 350 for a new one . i believe all the front 1500 vulcan rotor are all the same size . if you want to do the front wheel i can talk you threw it if you can do your own work . its not hard . pull out the bearings is the hardest part , i used a concrete anchor to pull them out . i want to buy a blind puller one day but the concrete anchor works pretty good but they are only good for a few times to pull the bearings out . i wish a 21 inch wheel would fit under the drifter fender , the vulcan 900 custom front wheel is a 21 and it has the same size bearings as drifter and i think it uses the size rotor also . it has only 1 rotor like the drifter . the 19 inch wheel is close to the top of the drifter fender so i dont think the 21 would fit with out mods to the drifter fender

I love the wheels idea, i wonder how would it look if the wheel was chromed to match the fork and other visible chromed areas....but it looks great.

thanks everyone , elmo the rear wheel go`s right on , the front wheel , all i had to do was get drifter bearings and drill the middle of the wheel out so the drifter axle would work , greenbarn , the exhaust is from a 1600 nomad , richaud , the front wheel that i`m using is from the vulcan 1500 88 and i beleave they have the speedo on the front wheel also
