I don't doubt it, a couple of my riding buddies ride the 900, and they are extremely pleased with them. The 900 is almost bullet proof, and it has no problem keeping up to my 1500 in normal driving. Best of luck with the Nomad, and safe riding.

Congrats on the Nomad! A year ago I traded off my 900 Classic for my new 1500. I hated to give up the 900 but I LOVE the 1500. Good luck with the new ride.

Congrats, man!!! I love the older Nomads. I don't like the new ones as much. I'd love to get a black Nomad from a couple years ago.

Good for you Steve. Now, when you gonna ride with us? LOL Do I hear an Ironbutt in your future next year? I'd go again.

Also do I hear another Franken bike coming soon? LOL Finished up my trunk mount today. Now I gotta get it painted and the trunk painted!!

Coming this spring... Franken bike III

Great looking steed Steve!

Hopefully later this week or on the weekend I can run by your place and check it out. I need to make you a pattern for the larger lowers to bring too.

Awesome!

Congratulations! What a great bike. I know you're going to love it. I've never met an unhappy Nomad owner.
