- January 22, 2011, 11:47:49 AMI have installed a set of lowers....Factory accessory for a Nomad, on my 1500. I think they Look pretty good, and only minor mods were needed to make them work. I took a picture of the (semi) finished installation. Please let me know what you think. I am trying to make this bike into a viable LDR touring platform. I also have a set of soft lowers for the guard bar, that I am quite happy with, but they didn't eliminate all the helmet buffeting. Maybe I'm too picky, but I like to be comfortable on a long ride. I haven't picked the fenders up from the painter yet, so the front wheel is just in place to help align the fork. I put progressive suspension springs in this winter, with my old standby fork oil, dexron3 automatic transmission fluid. It's a 7 weight oil that doesn't change viscosity with heat. The factory fish oil was quite disgusting. Just a side note, the windshield is a National Cycle Heavy duty, without the bead, for a Harley, and the handlebars and risers are also for a Harley. I found the original Drifter bars were just too wide for me, and put my back in an uncomfortable position after a few hours on the road.
