More Chrome!!!

Tried to put the leather trunk on the bike. The current luggage rack (Kawasaki OEM) looks great, but sits way too high on the sissybar. So now, I have a choice. I could build something on the wooden rack that I built for it. That could be fun, a little bit of a challenge, and would be unique.

OR

I could buy a different rack. NO BRAINER! So I went searching for a Cobra rack made specifically for the Nomad. Searched high and low, and finally found a good price at CruiserCustomizing.

Found the Cobra rack on sale. Life is GREAT! Will fit right into the existing mounting points, looks good (but not as good as the Kawasaki), but more importantly it will do the job. And being a Cobra, I feel confident in the quality and longevity.

However, I was a few dollars short of the free shipping and handling minimum. So I had another choice to make. Pay for the S&H, or choose something low cost that gets me to shipping minimums. Geeze, that was hard.... Ordered a chrome choke knob cover. On the stock Nomad, the knob is black plastic with a white choke symble on it....YUK.

All excited about getting it. But they were closed on Sunday, and then on Presidents day. Finally touched base with them on Tuesday, and BOTH items are backordered....dang...oh well, it is still cold, snow and freezing fog (yeah, freezing fog...go figure), etc. so I guess I dont need it right away anyway.
