Any chance you can post pictures of the mounts you made for the Nomad exhaust? If it looks easy enough, I might buy the Vance & Hines Nomad pipes and throw them on my bike.
Thanks
Not sure if the v&h would work with the mounts I made . The nomad mufflers are atacked to the goat belly and the nomad saddle bags , the v&h are only attached to the heads and the saddle bags . The mounts I made attach to the foot pegs , so between the goat belly and the foot pegs is a short reach for the nomad mufflers. I don't know if my mounts are strong to hold everything . I hope you unstand what I'm trying to say. I'll tell what if u pm me with your email address I'll take some pics of the mounts and send them to you but it may take a few days before I can

Yes, I saw that thread before but the V&H pipes are just too "thin" and don't look as good as duals made for the nomad which are much thicker and better looking. The duals on this Nomad would look awesome on my Drifter

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

- April 03, 2015, 22:18:07 PMQuote from: richaud on April 02, 2015, 11:54:28 AMi 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 fenderDid the brake disc fit straight on?
