At the pump, didn't see a drop off. Actually was 1mpg better than normal. But that is likely just the mix of miles I put on it.

Maybe look at the Yoshimura R77? Here's my post with a video for the sound: http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-mods/3715-yoshimura-r77-slip-pipe.html

After about 120 miles on it, I am really liking it. The power seems a bit better in the higher revs. When in traffic, if I slow down into the mid-high 50s while still in 6th gear, the bike isn't as gruff when I roll on some throttle. I hit a canyon with it, and it's helpful for knowing when to...

I have been thinking about this too. I like the screaming banshee. But I don't want something that big, or involved to install. Two questions: What's the model number you have? Can it be spun to point straight down, without any mods? Thanks!

I just put this pipe on my NC (OEM was badly bruised in an accident). If you are considering the R77, here are a couple videos that might help determine if you like the sound. OEM Pipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL3yaB3H98o Yoshimura R77 Slip On (without the low noise baffle)...

I like inconspicuous. The RI D2s are nice too, for their crazy brightness. Those are my favorite two so far. I need to dig around some more and see the mounting hardware for the RI D2s. If they don't require a bracket to clamp style mount, I like them. Thanks to everybody.

I'm in the market for some semi-obnoxious riding lights to mount on my crash bars (H&B). The primary purpose would be increasing my visibility. But I don't want to make the bike look wonky to accomplish this. Likes? Dislikes? Got pictures? I'm hoping to find some that are black, small...

And my new helmet: dayglow yellow, with a gold tinted shield. It's highly visible. And the obnoxious driving lights are coming after the repair.

The final total on the estimate was $4635. The picture is from a camera phone, pretty poor resolution. The other side bounced off of the guy's truck. The pipe was smashed, tire marks, and scratches where my boot drug across while I exited. Just for reference, the parts that comprise the foot...

I didn't use my last bike as a commuter. But gas prices have gotten so high, my tow vehicle was a real wallet drain at the pump every week. Switching over to the NC700X saves me about 3 gallons of gas per day. @$4+ per gallon, that adds up quick.

Some yahoo decided to jump out of traffic, over the double double yellow lines, into the carpool lane where I was riding. I couldn't avoid him and we collided. I was maybe doing 50ish when he hit. My going faster than him pulled the handlebars to the right into his truck bed, which caused the...

I contacted the importers of the Hepco & Becker crash bars. I also sent them this photo, to show what's happening. Unless Honda did a design change after the bars were designed, I don't know how you miss that. I hope I get back a decent response. It looks like I will have to reroute the brake...

I put the Hepco and Becker crash bars on my NC this past weekend. Has anybody else had a problem with the front brake line bracket on the triple clamps hitting the front crash bar mounting bracket, keeping it from turning full left? I am going to have to monkey with the brake line's bracket to...

Anxiously awaiting a review.

I believe the place is called Ken & Joe's Honda (Ken & Joe's Honda Kawasaki - Santa Clarita, CA). I am expecting to pay more than what you did with a coupon. How might I get my hands on one of these coupons? That would be MOST appreciated.
