a recent change in family dynamics brings me to sell my 2012 Kaw Nomad. checked with one dealer and he said its too late in season for him to even consider buying it. i guess were not supposed to post ads here and thats not my intention. just aksing for advice as to the best way to market it right now. i've been avoiding craigslist as it will bring some people i probably dont want to meet.
not forced to sell right now but would be nice to have the cash and more room in the garage for other things. im located in Johnston county, NC

Wish I had the extra funds right now, I'd love to have a 1700 nomad, Vaquaro, or Voyager for long distances.

Gonna be tearing my bike down this afternoon to throw a new clutch spring at it. Apparently the Vulcan springs are known to go out anywhere after 6k miles, mine has 32700 on it now. Will be replacing with a Barnett HD spring for a Meanstreak,supposed to be thicker and have a little more pressure.

It went fairly well, ended up going to do dinner with the wife's grandparents so I didn't get it completely finished. Got a solid 2.5 hours of work done and probably would of came real close to finishing except I left a washer out so I had to pull the cover back off when I found it and pull part of the clutch back apart but got that squared away. Just have to bolt on the floorboard/rear master cylinder and the exhuast today and see how she rides.

Finished the bike up yesterday and then rode it to Morehead to meet with the wife's family again for dinner. Totally different bike, zero hesitation, zero slip. Since I went with the Barnett Meanstreak spring the clutch lever is atleast 3x harder to pull in. Plus when before I didn't have to pull it halfway in, now I've got.to pull it all the way to the grip.

Glad everything went together smoothly. In time you probably won't notice the harder lever pull.
Got some progress on the yamahammer Sunday. Old shock is removed. Found a suspect wiring connection I need to solder. Will finally replace the old battery. Still need to replace a motor mount bolt. And I'm debating updating the forks. They are pretty shot but it's time consuming and about 200$ for springs, oil, seals, etc..I will post some more photos as I get things sorted out.
