Kinda the same here in SoAZ. Quite a few NCX have been sold in Tucson and Sierra Vista areas. Then, kinda died off a bit. Even though I get PLENTY of folks asking me about my NCX every time I park it somewhere. ("Frunk", mileage, engine power, etc.) As of now, Honda dealer in Tucson has...

Yup, that's what I'm talking about. I understand it's probably from the mold "tree" that formed it, much like toy model kits and their "parts". But, why couldn't the manufacturer design the molding to attach at the bottom of the windshield, instead of the top. Quality assurance/control must...

Hi guys/gals! Long time, no see. Anyway, I've been busy with a few bike projects here in the Old Pueblo. Also had a death in the family. (SUCKS), life goes on....... My question to everyone is this..... Who else has had a scratch on the upper edge of their stock small windshield...

Just FYI, the "6 or 5" mix up in the VIN is supposed to indicate the number of gears in the transmission. Hence why the NCX is a 6 speed and most (or all) VT750's are 5 speed. I, too, have Progressive, as USAA will not insure new motorcycle policies. (Progressive is their "partner in crime"...

Those are good relays. I only have a few of them left. I'm actually looking at adding a Wolo compact twin air-horn to my bike. It's not very high on my "to do" list, though. I have this exact horn on my VFR and my son's Ninja..... Wolo Bad Boy Compact Air Horn, Model# 419 | Air Horns...

Dealer told me that the lights are NOT Honda, but from another supplier. However, most dealers/customers are using whatever brand lights they want. I was looking at the Piaa LED lights myself. PIAA Bamo, I also like that pic a lot. Dig those silver bag inserts and driving lights. :)

Sweet. I'm guessing that Honda sells an "insert" piece to make the bags color match the bike more. Did you have to buy the whole 3 bag setup, or can you just get the side bags?

Neat! Too bad I don't ride with the Southwest Rangers (moto escort), I could probably use some of those lights. Even though those Whelen lights would do the job for extra lighting, I think something like the Lunasee ASL kit would grab more attention as it's something not seen everyday. I'm...

Thanks for the info, guys. I'll swing by the dealer this weekend and ask about either pod (US and Euro). Good point about using just the US pod, since I could wire the forward (upshift?) button for FTP, and the other button for extra lighting. I believe the right pod also has some extra...

Nice job, Bamo! :D BTW, are those the NC hard bags, or a different models?

Not the quite the same, as I was an installer for automotive neon back in the 90's. By the way, it would be impossible to mount neon in any traditional fashion to a motorcycle's wheels. (that's probably why everything for bikes now, is LED) However, if you were referring to these lights as...

I was wondering if any of our fellow riders out there might know the part number for a non-us (European version) left side switch pod for the NC700XD. You guys get the "flash to pass" feature (US bikes don't :( ) and I'm wanting the XD pod so I can make the extra DCT buttons do other things...

http://www.lunasee.com/?page_id=510 Here's what I'm talking about. I would consider this for my VFR with my existing LEDs, but I'd rather put it on the NCX just for the "safety" aspect of it. Besides, you need to have a LED pod shine against each wheel side, and I can't do that from the...

FYI...dropped the bike off at the dealer for the first service. She was ready the next day around noon. A washer, oil filter, 4 qts of GN4 10w-40 oil and various "shop supplies". Total parts came to $37.81. Labor was 2 hours....so the total damage was $191.61 out the door. Not too bad, I...

Man, you guys are awesome! I've seen the "clear" lenses on the new CBR at the dealer and wondered if they would fit. Makes sense, as it helps Big Red to keep production costs down on newly crafted components. I'm gonna check with my dealer this weekend! :o
