I finished the wiring (with fuse block) last night so I've got the Tsukayu fairing (http://www.tsukayu.com/QuickDetachableDoubleBooxFairing.html) and JTD Series 2 hard lowers, with led lights (http://www.jtdcycleparts.com/Nomad-1999-2008_c71.htm) installed late last night.PIXIE PIXIE PXIE hubba hubba hubba gimme gimme gimme
Give me a day or so and I'll post some pictures. I absolutely love the way my Nomad looks! The fairing stereo paired right up and sounded awesome and the JTD lowers really compliment the bike. On a side note, I had a small problem with fitment of the JTD lowers and spoke with John and he was fantastic to deal with and rectified the problem almost immediately. Top notch guy...he definitely gained a new customer!

I'd be interested in buying a pair off ya in order to mount that fairing. That looks sweet.I just got the Double Boox fairing from Tsukayu yesterday for my 2003 Nomad. I haven't installed it yet but I have to say, this fairing is incredibly built and unbelievable appearance being a single piece.

There is still another fabricator - can remember the name but they make some really fantastic fairings for the VN1500 Classic which fits the Drifter. Comes inc radio etc and speakers - not cheap though but awesome

I think they are "nearly" the same, but not quite identical. I got the impression the Drifter just lacked a hole or something for mounting, that the Classic had.
Quote from: bambam0099 on March 17, 2016, 11:53:44 AMSend one this direction, and I'll let you know exactly... I'll even take pictures....I would love to know what modifications are needed to get that bracket to fit my Drifter. I just ordered a Tysukyu Double Boox fairing for my Nomad and would love to order another for the Drifter.
Quote from: AZCaveman on March 18, 2016, 17:01:03 PMI really do like that Voyager fairing.....I don't understand why more people are not using the Kawasaki Voyager or Vaquero fairings in these bikes.

- March 18, 2016, 18:05:11 PMQuote from: AZCaveman on March 18, 2016, 17:01:03 PMProbably about the best looking fairing out there, but expensive right now.I don't understand why more people are not using the Kawasaki Voyager or Vaquero fairings in these bikes. They have cool body lines with the 'scoop's or lights on them. Should be just be an easy bolt on considering the Nomad type frame. I think it would be a natural for the swoopy valanced fenders we have. Certainly better looking than a Harley Fairing.
QuoteI've gotta say, I WANT to like this fairing, but I just can't. Not very "classic" looking, and WAY too much bling bling!The new Indian fairing looks like a Harley and a goldwing had a collision and produced a Bastard child.

I suspect price and availability are the prime reasons.
