Welcome to my BLOG

I currently own a 2005 Kawasaki 1600 Nomad. This is my 6th bike and so far I love it. There always seems to be a hunt for the right bike that is the right fit for you. Thats why I have bought and sold many over the years. I hope to write about all my experience so you don't make the mistakes I have. Ride and Read on.

License Plate Bolts

I liked this idea after I seen 44 Cal. Bolts online at JP Cycles. I couldn't get any here in Canada but I could get nickel plated 9mm rounds. Anyhow after making some jigs for my lathe and some trial and error, I was very happy with how they turned out.
I used 1/4"-28 socket head bolts and once I shaved off a little they fit perfect inside the shell. A bit of epoxy  and I was finished.

The new "Ultimate Seat" versus Stock.

The seat on the left is stock and the one on the right is the "Ultimate seat" I hope this seat is as good as the reviews. Notice, I also got the back rest with pouch and a set of rain covers.










UPDATE: Well, had my 1st ride for the 2011 season. So far love the seat ( was only an hour) the real test will be all day ride. Much more comfortable than stock seat.
Note: On the Ultimate website I didn't notice the warning that the stock passenger seat will not fit with the Ultimate rider seat. So trying to save money I only ordered the riders seat... guess what is now on order..:-(

WARNING! the stock passenger seat will not fit with the Ultimate rider seat. You will have to order both unless you want a bare rear fender.


Ride on...
