In the quest for more visibility, I swapped out my incandescent brake light for a brighter LED, but this looks even better. Is anyone already using something like this? Helmet-mounted brake light makes motorcycle riders more visible | Fox News

The fabric is called carbon fiber and made by Keyston Bros. The foam is called k45 about medium density.

I don't remember, but I've emailed him. I'll let you know what he says.

Well, I went down to the local upholstery shop, dropped a grand total of $105 for this seat. Basically he pulled the old fabric, wrapped the seat with more foam, and put the carbon fiber fabric over the top. It's hard to see in the photo, but it's extremely close to the dark gray color of the...

I recently spent about 5 or so months looking for my NC. I was looking during the winter and I can't really speak for new sales. A few dealers had them only one in WY was keen to make a deal and would sell a sliver one for $6,800 out the door. In the west they are hard to find used. There was...

In the market and debating between the Avon and Metzeler Next. I like the Avon a bit better for off-road, at least they look better. Any long term mileage updates on the Avon? How many miles did you end up getting out of them, and how hard were you on them?

Mine looks nearly identical to yours Brillot, and it came from Cal --Hmmm, well if your not missing you bike it must still be legit...well that and no DCT. I'm hoping it would last 100K miles. Don't ride as many miles as you guys. Maybe 5K a year, but plan on more with the NC. Yep, lesson...

Well, I may be late to the party, but I'm here! Thought of a NC700 when they came out, but listened to the hype that they weren't adventure bikes. Many of you here and over at advrider proved me, and them wrong. Good job! I suppose that's what I get when I listen to guys who normally ride 100+...

Yep, I'll ditto highway 12 in UT. #6 in the top ten biker roads in the country. The USA's 10 best motorcycle roads - Lonely Planet Of course I've been on a few roads not on the list that are equally impressive. Especially if your willing to travel off road. The Burr trail off highway 12 to Lake...

The poll was interesting, but most was not what I was looking for. A lot of guys know exactly what they wanted and got it without trying the other. I mostly wanted to hear from those who have ridden both and why they chose what they did because I'm on the fence, I like the characteristics of...

Good input. I agree with Longfellow, don't like the fact they detuned it, I wonder what exactly they did, and if it could be undone. My WR450 came corked up from the factory, but in 15 minutes it was freed up. My decision isn't any easier, but it's interesting to note that I've heard from more...

i could be wrong, but my understanding is the DCT has 47hp, and the clutch has 51hp. I don't know if that's enough to notice or not, but taking into account the added weight, maybe?? Did you guys feel any seat of the pants power difference with the DCT? At first I was worried about the ABS...

Been lurking here for a while and have decided on adding a NC700 to my stable. The question is which? DCT or clutch? I'd love to hear from anyone who has ridden both and why you chose what you got. I'm thinking of slapping some tires and stuff for off road adventures. I'll probably buy used, as...
