Default V2K Chromed License Plate Backer

Last year at my dealership, there were some product reps in. I asked one
fellow about Cobra's Nomad chrome backer plate, and if it would fit my
V2K. He broke out his cell phone & called a Cobra person direct. They
said no. Well, there was a used Nomad there, so using my finger, I
measured the approximate distance between the 2 bolts (pretty technically
precise measuring device). I then matched it up to the V2K. Looked the
same to me.

Cobra License Plate Mount - Vulcans for Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Nomad


Dennis Kirk | Metric Bikes Main Page

Well, a month ago, I bit the bullet & ordered the backer plate and frame
with the inscribed Vulcan name for the Nomad. I took off the black
plastic stock backer on my V2K. The stock backer had a molded oval
protruding out exactly ¼”. That must be why Cobra said no. I needed
some longer bolts, and the heads had to go flush into the backing plate. I
went down to Lowe’s. I eyed some rubber grommets that measured 5/16”
and thought that might they might fill the gap nicely.

So, 2 road trips, and 1,500 miles later, it is holding just fine. I wonder
why Cobra doesn’t want to increase sales?

Cobra can't keep up with the sales they have.
