No, as I mentioned, they are not easily removable - in fact I haven't taken mine off since mounting them so calling them "permanent" works for me. (It would only take a few minutes to remove them but putting them back on might take an hour - yeah, they are permanent.) I bought a couple of...

If you're looking for an inexpensive set of bags for your Givi mounts, consider using Pelican - real or Harbor Freight knock off (Apache brand) boxes. They offer a good variety of sizes, they can be locked, will mount easily to the Givi mounts using steel wire clips/clamps and are weather...

When I sell something on eBay, it's because I don't have a need for it and want it gone. If someone does have a need and makes a lower offer, I'm likely to take it.

DCT and cruise control are a godsend to we older (arthritic handed) guys. :o I'm at the point where if no one near Minneapolis volunteers for a BDI CC fitment, I might buy the base AP500 unit ($188 US) and a Trail Tech switch (~$25 on eBay) and be the guinea pig. I'd prefer BDI do the work and...

The AU dollar is trading (today) at about US $0.77, so unless they quoted the price in US dollars, it's less. MCCruise has been around for a long time and makes excellent cruise controls. MCCruise uses the same Smart Line AP900c module as BDI (sourced elsewhere) for their FJ-09 (Tracer)...

In addition to my '13 NC700XD, I own a 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 which, as of two weeks ago, is equipped with a Smart Line AP900c electronic cruise control from Brandon Distributing Inc. (BDI) in Elk River MN. It works just like an automotive CC with three function buttons (On/Off, Set and Resume plus...

I usually have a GPS and radar detector - and sometimes a camera on-board, so I found a compact four in one receptacle and used two sided tape to affix it to the instrument cluster. There's a volt meter in place in the lower photo.

It's Honda's word. It means you go through a simple procedure (described in the installation manual) letting the DCT computer know that there is a new device providing input. Another term would be a "handshake" between the shifter unit and the computer. This is what I wrote in the...

This is the original post by TechiePilot http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-mods/1168-dual-clutch-transmission-change-pedal-kit.html and his source was a Japanese company name Webike. The price from Webike was around $300. I bought mine through a Japanese intermediary company (Biddee) who bid...

I agree that it's an individual choice - which is why I didn't waste any time proselytizing for it. Posting the videos was a way of paying back for the help this and other forums have given me. It's a pleasure.

You are the guy I made the videos for Ticopilot.

Thanks to TechiePilot who posted info on the 08U70-MGS-J51 change pedal kit in the Mods forum, I purchased one and installed it yesterday. I uploaded a three part video series to YouTube this afternoon: Introduction: http://youtu.be/lo0CoE-dEls Installation: http://youtu.be/gsiwLVHd3qE Demo...

Obviously I don't have the answer, but have learned that the Honda offers a similar accessory shift lever kit ( 08U70-MGH-D21) for the VFR1200X DCT CrossTourer (not available in the US), and it's described as: "A complete kit to select gears with a traditional foot shifter on the Dual Clutch...

This device (gizmodo?) is exactly what I needed this week when bumping down a rutted jeep road on my NC700XD. I had a death grip on the bars so toggling the damn paddles with my left hand was difficult, awkward and didn't always get me the gear I expected. If there had been a foot "shift lever"...

Craig, Now that I have a few miles on the F4i shock and see no evidence of the reservoir hose interfering with swing arm travel, I would definitely choose it over the VFR800 shock because of the greater adjustability of the F4i shock. BUT, if I ever find a (cheap) aftermarket spring with a...

This product, "Add a fuse" sold by TSI Corp for $2.10, Welcome to The Original USA manufactured & patented ATC/ATO Fuse Plug is the slickest solution to the recurring problem of adding electrical accessories to the NCX (and other vehicles using blade type fuses) I have seen. What it does, is...

My NC700X - DCT rattles in the higher gears. At least it does when I ride without ear plugs. So I take care of the problem by always wearing ear plugs. You might check to see if there are any Honda Service Bulletins pertaining to transmission noises or pinging. Or maybe take it in to the...

The attached photo of the fuse block in the battery compartment (in front of the frunk) might be of help. The multi-colored wire with a blue insulator sticking out of the fuse block has a narrowed spade connector plugged into what I believe is the rightmost receptacle of the auxiliary...

Until I was prowling around the forum, curious about how to lower/raise my NCX, I'd never heard of Soupy brand or any other adjustable suspension links. Having seen several references to the product here, I was kind of sensitized to these things, so when I was on the Aprilia forum and found a...

Your link took me to ATV grips, both of which are 7/8" inside diameter. They wont work on a motorcycle. Well, one will, not the other. ATV's don't have twist throttles - they use a thumb operated throttle and both grips are 7/8" diameter. Motorcycles have a sleeve between the handlebar and...
