In my experience, in a way Corbin and Shad are night and day seat choices, but they may be more similar than I initially thought. The Shad has super soft foam that feels great for awhile, then crushes down on a long ride to where it feels like you're just sitting on the seat pan. The Corbin is...

SPAM post and poster removed from the forum.

But, per the thread title, what did you do to/with your NC today? There is another thread already running for random thoughts. https://www.nc700-forum.com/threads/random-thoughts-pics-thread.15545/page-19 or you can create one for pro tip of the day, or whatever. Please help us keep posts in...

Don't but any accessories at the dealer now for 10% off. You can buy Honda accessories on line at many vendors for 10% or more discount, anytime you want. There is no urgency to buy now. Wait until you have used the bike a bit and do research on the items. Many aftermarket accessories are...

Can’t answer from direct experience, but the AT is a physically larger machine with a different intended purpose. It has tubed tires and spoked wheels, as has a frame more similar to a dual sport than the NC’s street design. I have ridden an AT briefly, and although I am plenty capable of...

So, reflashing the computer with CARB approved Honda OEM software is illegal in California? You're just supposed to throw away the computer and replace it?

I searched “Rider storm” and your video post in the NC700 Videos forum comes up as a search result.

And so it is, some were indeed produced in 2011. Yes, in the beginning, Europe got product earlier than North America. In the USA, it was the last week of July, 2012 when dealers first received the NC700X. Good to hear that your 2012 has served you well for 80,000 miles.

Whether to pin the stalling problem on the transmission type is difficult at the moment. Honda has apparently been lagging in supplying manual transmissions to dealers as the 2021 models are being distributed. However, the stalling seems to occur when leaving from a stop, and DCT has been...

While I have tried only one LED headlight replacement, I’m not at all surprised by your conclusion that a halogen incandescent bulb works best with the headlight housing reflector that was designed for it, and the LED not so well. I agree. I run a halogen headlight bulb in the NC, with LED...

Would be interesting to know if the computer was flashed at the dealer with a different software version that what the bike was manufactured with.

I like the simplicity of that LED headlight. However, the negative reviews bother me some. What is the claimed lumens light output of the Auxito unit? Do you think it is actually brighter than the stock bulb?

Can you put the videos in the NC700 Videos forum, please? https://www.nc700-forum.com/forums/nc700-videos.9/

Seat Concepts kit with gripper cover on the OEM seat pan. Foam density was custom made by Seat Concepts to match my lighter weight, rather than their target rider weight (of something like 230 pounds). Then before I stapled the cover on, I rounded off the painful (thigh cutting) styling ridges...

Yes. And it proved that I finally have a functional seat on the NC, which could allow me to ride it, in theory, almost indefinitely.
