Hi Rippin209 My first impression…..why not. Do you have ‘package size’ you require to fit compressor and plugs etc, and looking to store this only, or maybe going wider for more storage! If you have saddlebags permanent on the bike you could go outboard to the bags giving more storage and maybe...

Place looks interesting, distance not a problem…..let me know when is good for you Steve

Bob, The only day I am busy ( Sue has a hospital appointment) is this Thursday 19, otherwise totally open! It’s not a problem meeting closer to you if this makes it better…..I like the drive. Tue, tomorrow would be good but again depends on you and the weather. Anyway, I will leave you to make...

Will do.....maybe meet closer to you this time will talk Steve

Bob Glad to hear you have found some more lowering potential for Mrs_Bob,s bike! I know a lot of people seem to like having their feet flat footed on both sides of the bike, but for me just having the ‘balls’ of my foot on the ground would be fine! As said before, I have always been tip toe on...

Rainier, What year shock did you use……did it have a remote reservoir and if so where did you mount it! A lot of questions in one line… Thanks Steve

thats done.............

test2309 ............done

First, Thanks Ted for the support and as you say, an exceptionally kind thing for Mr. and Mrs. Bob to do! As Bob said, we had a very good and for me personally a very informative meet up. My wife very much enjoyed talking to Mrs. Bob (we do know her name but privacy prevails) and meanwhile Bob...

Thanks Slo_Rider Interesting Tool……some what shows how I ‘fit’ on my existing bikes! As you know seat height is one element, but the cross section of seat and frame etc. also effects bike fit. So I believe the tool gives a good approximation but I still would like to try a modified bike. I do...

My wife has hospital appointments next Monday and Tuesday, but the rest of the week looks open. I would be willing to drive closer to your home (as you are the one helping me) if this helps you! Perhaps you could contact me some time next week when the time is good for you. I will try to send...

Melensdad, Using google maps it looks like just over 3hrs….seems about right! I was at Gingerman race track a couple of weeks ago and google maps had that spot on. 3 hours is fine with me and I have not been to Michigan City, In would like to meet up, just when and where ? Steve

Hi guys, Do any of you have a ‘lowered’ NC700 / 750 that live within a 4 hour drive of Walled Lake, Michigan. Just NW of Detroit, who would let me try the bike for size. I am not asking to RIDE the bike …….. just sit and try it for size and how it feels! Obversely I have been to local...

Thanks for the replies guys……I know that the idea may seem silly but I had to ask….. My thoughts on the pickup, was having to unload the bike, and that the van’s floor would be much lower……I agree that the rear opening is much smaller than it looks! I will look into renting the pickup and bike...

Hi guys……thinking of buying a NC700 but, the bike is located 400 miles from home! Would ride bike home but getting to the seller is the problem! Rental vans for a day plus mileage adds up in cost Car has no hitch to rent trailer Does anybody happen to know if the front wheel was removed...
