I've been running the Shinko 705 since dumping the 1st edition tires it came with. Raised the front fender no problem and burned through another set of 705's. However when I changed out the next set, neglected to mount the front the correct direction and dropped the bike on my ankle in my...

I have Acerbis hand guards on my 2012 NC with an MRA shield. The HG's do hit both the windshield and speedometer cluster at full turn. Tilting the guards make it somewhat easier but it's all about the lean you are willing to use turning. Just don't say you haven't been warned, it's not on the...

I've been running big 705's for 6 years and my stock center stand is fine. I throw a foot long 2x4 underneath if i really need clearance.

I had a similar problem with an older Suzuki GS500 twin. The issue was a disconnected coil wire that was only allowing 1 cylinder to fire. Once that was reconnected the bike ran great.

I found a clipped off zip tie end and bent it behind the nut to force the nut forward so the bolt caught. Easy peasy and free.

I finally bit the gravel last Thursday night. Being as I live in the desert, we don't see much rain so I try to be extra careful when there is. I was completing my 18 mile commute home from downtown Albuquerque and literally turning into my driveway. In a flash, I'm down... bike kind of tossed...

My 2012 NCX had its Speedo replaced at 5500 miles because it wouldn’t register neutral on light. Since then few problems till recently. It has 30k total miles and the speedo is inconsistent on lighting up at start. At night I notice it and may have to shutoff and restart a couple of times...

I have had mine on for 3 years and it has been durable. I have a set of soft bags on with no problem. For them the under shelf is really unnecessary. They just dangle despite being strapped to the bags. Some of the joints are screw enhanced but did have to reglue one of the attach arms and then...

I wear my Blundstones to work and this brace would be a definite improvement over the elastic that is "not protecting" my ankles now. I'll definitely check them out.

Did my valves on my 2012 NC700X for the 2nd time. Both ends were pretty loose, was left wondering if they needed adjustment.

I just got my second rear Shinko 705 because they hold the road in a dry gravelly climate like NM. It's lasted over 10k for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice spread there Mr Biltmore......

I dropped my front sprocket 1 tooth to 15 on my manual NC2012. The speed differential is negligible, like 3 mph at 55. It does seem to have more pickup at the stoplights. I used a gps but it is hard to read while riding.

I have about 10k miles on a set and will replace the rear soon in sunny dry Albuquerque. They are a great replacement to the Metzgers it came with. I did have to raise the front fender but it looks great and hasn't required frequent tightness checks. Think I did put some blue loctite in there...

I used to use regular but it sounds better-smoother when I run Costco premium. 80+ mpg is another reason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
