HD Fairing onto a NOMAD

VIPER66 · 10-22-2006

One poster here said that a pre-1983 HD fairing would bolt up to the stock windshield mounts on a 900.

I am looking to put that very same one onto my 04 NOMAD. Should I be able to do the same thing as he did with his 900?

Anyone have experience with this type of procedure???

Lots of companys manufactures HD style fairings for Nomads. I have one from Premeux on mine. But I heard of someone making a braket to bolt a HD fairing on a Nomad. I think Nightflight as one. On Gadget's website, there's a page explaine how to install one on your Nad. As for installing one on a 900 Classic, I'm sure somebody will come up with something. When there's a will, there's a way.

I forgot! Corbin, the manufacturer of fine seats, is making a fairing for the 900 Classic. Lobocops wife as one and it looks fantastic.

Hoppe Quadzilla is another option, they look about the same as a H-D and may even be cheaper in the long run, my .02 - B BOY

If you have loud pipes this could be a important factor!!

The Corbin Fairing on the wifes is great! Good wind protection for the hands and arms. Gets rid of that annoying helmet bobble too! Now she wants a stereo installed, when will it ever stop!

You can see her bike at the Corbin web page posted by Desoto above.

Thanks for the reply guys. I bought a fairing from a 1983 HD. I fella on this board sold it to me. I can't wait to get it and start working on it
--->PROJECT!!! He said that it bolted right up to his stock 900 windshild brackets, I was wondering if it would do the same on my NOMAD.
I guess I will have to wait for the BIG BROWN TRUCK to come!!!!

DES, That link to CORBIN has sweet fairing on it!! The only issue I have with aftermarket (NEW) fairings is the hefty price tag. Since I can do the glass work (if needed) as well as the paint and clear, I thought I would go used.
1000+ for a fairing is too much for my Vegas blood. Heck, I gotta hang out with you rich guys!

The guys on the Delphi forum seem happy with Lee's brackets:

I am happy with the brackets I bought from Lee. Works great on my 2003 HD anniversary fairing, just had to remove the 100th. year emblem which was mounted thru the windshield with 2 holes.

I just looked at the 900 on the Corbin site with the fairing, packs and trunk.

I was floored. What a nice set up. Wish I had the bucks laying around...

VIPER66 · 10-26-2006

Ya they are sweet!

RichLockyer · 10-26-2006

Ya, you 900 guys are lucky.
All that's ready-made (from Corbin) for the 1600 is that bugscreen that looks like it came from a triceritops. That thing is fugly!

VIPER66 · 10-26-2006

fugly, BWAHHHHAHAHAHAHAH!!

I have not heard that in quite some time!

Agree 100%, they advertise the he11 outta that thing, but I don't care if it works or not, it looks like a big 'ol shoehorn stuck on the front end! Butt-ugly!

Now I'm kinda curious... on the Quadzilla and other fairings that ship in black gelcoat... can they be left unpainted if they're going on a black or 2-tone bike?

Rich,

They can be run w/o painting. The fiberglass fairings have what is known as gelcoat as their color base and it is actually a form of colored fiberglass resign, shines nice for lots of years, takes wax very well to.

The plastic ones can be left without paint also.
