Congrats on the bike! If you are looking for a rear luggage rack, I also highly recomend the Irons in the Fire unit. I just put one on my bike, its designed to have a load put on it and looks very cool without one too. I have my bike in the garage put away and havent taken any pictures of it on yet, but it looks the same as the coachgraves pics. The recently released Kawasaki rack is just as much $, mounts way to high in my opinion and looks kinda dinky..... Email Roger (great guy to talk with too) at irons in the fire (see link above)

We're almost exactly the same size, 5' 10" 195lbs and 30in. I need risers on the Nomad, too, and the seat needs to be tilted forward somewhat.

Congrats, I'm very happy with my LT after 9500 miles. Real sweet ride.

That's really weird Nomadthesailor that you need risers and a seat adjustment. Both fit me perfectly and I don't think I'll even need a seat back rest! The ergonomics are perfect for me!

My Nomad is an '04, perhaps the ergos were slightly different, and the seat is a Mustang.

Congratulations on the new bike. Glad you like it so well. There's nothing like the smell of a new motorcycle. I found the new Nomad to be a bit cramped for me compared to to my 2006. The deep dished seat made me claustrophobic. However, I'm not a normal person.
