Bike 2 is overpriced at 50k miles! I bought my 2016 with a little over 4k miles from the original owner a few years ago, and it had all the OEM Honda luggage accessories on it, for $6,300. I have a 2013 NC700X DCT that I will be selling soon for around $4,000 obo. Only 13k miles, silver and...

If you can take a stock NC that is not luggage ready, order the whole luggage kit, and install it all in minutes, you should open up a shop installing accessories for motorcycles...

Deleted. Decided to keep pegs in case I decide to track my street NC in the future.

When I bought my kit from a dealer, it came with zero instructions, and it took some thinking and trial and error to get all the hardware right, but ultimately it wasn't terrible.

Yeah I was thinking the same. Unless you plan on parking the bike and letting it idle for an hour, engine heat is not going to creep into the frunk area THAT much, because air flow from it being driven should be more than sufficient to moderate frunk temps. "But what if you get stuck in...

Check battery terminals first to ensure they are connected good. This happened to me with a side by side I had bought brand new. A few months into owning it, I went to crank it and everything was dead. The positive battery cable was loose enough to not make a good enough connection to power...

Unless it's just horribly bent or cracked badly, it is likely able to be repaired. Do some research on shops that repair wheels and price it. Probably a whole lot cheaper than buying a new or even a used wheel.

Wow, terrible news. Saddened to hear of his passing. Best wishes to his family during this difficult time.

Looks like a great time!

Oh, but the NC CAN keep up with hard ridden sport bikes. I do it every trackday I attend in Advanced group. Are there people out there that are faster than me? Yes, just as there was when I used to ride a ZX10R in Advanced group on track over 12 years ago. There are a couple limitations on the...

I lost a leg crashing into a guardrail, I'm not afraid of rotating chain/sprocket assemblies. LOL Aside from many years' experience working on things and being very aware of situational dangers, there isn't the first thing that's dangerous about spraying chain lube onto a chain as it rotates...

Your oem pads are probably glazed and is probably the main culprit in your issue. Put on some EBC HH pads or EBC Road Race pads and you'll be much happier. I ride my 2016 NC hard on long trips through twisty mountain roads on stock brakes without issue, although, I can tell at around 12k miles...

I'm leaning towards geometry being a big culprit. Both my NC's have rear shock at max preload so rear sits higher than stock, and between stock tires on my 2016, and then a mix of Michelin Road 5's, Road 4's, and Dunlop Q3+ on both the 2013 and the 2016, I've never had the first bit of head...

Well I have a 30mm peg riser on the right peg, and still drag it at times, but the left peg is removed completely and I utilize a highway peg mounted on the front frame rail. I am a left leg below knee amputee and that knee is trashed and won't bend past 90°. It's a goofy setup and looks weird...

Looser is always better than tighter, so long as it's not too loose. 1" = 25.4mm so if his chain only deflects 3/4" (if checked correctly), then it's too tight.
