Snarley Bill Posted August 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2009 have started the chroming on my nomad. so far i have added a cobra fi 2000r module, handle bar switch for the highway lights. venturerider.org logo on the windshield, and have some goodies on the way. the injection module really made this bike come alive. next i'm trying to redesign the exaust to get a good big twin sound with a pleasant sound level. then i am going to design and machine a billet aircleaner with minimum restriction and good looks. the feds really put the hurts on this bike with the pollution standards. it was a real pooch when i got it. it was so lean on the low end that it reguired 90 plus octane fuel with 9 to 1 compression. next tank will get 89 octane, and then maybe 87 octane., no pinging so far. st. jude here we come, first official road trip. sure like this bike alot. it is almost at the top of the list with my all time favorite v-max.

buddy Posted August 18, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 18, 2009 Bill by the time you get done adding all the extras you think it will be able to keep up with the Gold Wing. Ain't worried about the First Gen. Looking forward to seeing your photos, when ever you decide to post them. If everything goes OK on my end I'll be seeing you at St Jude's, Just might ride the Roadkill Stallion down but we will see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need someone who can get some pics and post em for us. Seems Bill is using the old "Gee technology kicks my butt" excuse. :crackup:So looks like some sort of meet and eat at his house is in order.

Freebird Posted August 18, 2009 Share #16 Posted August 18, 2009 Heck...I taught Bill everything I know while at the Hub so either I'm not too good with these 'puters either or he's a slow learner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
