- June 12, 2016, 18:57:03 PMFor all you guys wanting to install a fairing on your Drifter, the way to go is with Nomad parts. I just got done installing a Nomad windshield and lowers on my Drifter and also put on my old scrap fairing (I used to test on my Nomad) to see if I liked it. Drill/tap into the upper tree to accept the Nomad side brackets with 3/4" spacers (I cut up a few couplers). Attached are a few pics. Have to admit, I really like the Nomad windshield size, curvature and inner shield. I'm going to keep it on the bike but if I ever decide to go the fairing route, all I have to do is order one for a 1500 Nomad.

In fact, I just put the 2 up seat and saddle bags from it up on Ebay.Remember, he sold the Drifter and bought a Nomad, but we aren't snobs, so he can hang with us anytime.
My "new" Drifter -=> http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/index.php?topic=40974.0
I'm almost 100% happy with the Nomad so I will be starting on the Drifter soon (after I get my wood cut/split ... priorities)
I just ordered a wompus rack for it and have alot of things to install. Still trying to decide what bags to go with....

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.
