They are open in the back so they can fit around the upper tube. They have tabs with slots for a zip tie to secure them to the lower portion of the fork.Do they snap on or do you have to drop the fork tubes to install?
I am parsimonious.I am frugal (another word for really cheap).
It's Ohio.Another RAIN BATH. Now 45 mins later, the sun is shining again. Weird.
I too am frugal, but not an el cheapo. More of the not wasteful category, buy quality but buy it on saleGot some cheap engine guard bars off of Amazon and mounted them . Bars are only 1"- didn't buy them for protection, bought them to have better place to mount led lights. I am frugal (another word for really cheap).

That is a good looking bike.After an unusual amount of rain for this area it felt great to get out for a ride. View attachment 53849
Quick comment on the Seat Concepts. i bought one and after about a week, I removed it and sold it. I cycled through several other seat choices, still unhappy. Then I had a Seat Concepts kit built with a ligher foam density that matched my weight, and I shaped the foam, based on knowledge gained from various seat trials, before I installed the cover. Now my SC is a keeper, the best seat I’ve had on the NC. But, in standard form the SC was not good. I think for many people the standard foam density is too stiff.We rode about 325 miles today across the State, Around Lake O, to Jensen Beach (near Stuart, FL) to visit the Dolphin Bar and Shrimp House (food was better than most places but nothing remarkable beyond that). We went through the tree tunnel north of Okeechobee, which was actually pretty nice. We did not take any pictures as there was not a good place to pull over. Something is going on with the front brake when I am slowing, near the end of the slowing action, the front brake feels like it is pulsing almost with a cadence of ABS but much more pronounced. Anyhow, I'll check it out sometime this week and I am sure I'll have a question or two. Other than that, the bike ran and rode well. The Seat Concepts seat, however, has got to go. As time has gone by it has become less and less tolerable for me. Though, I have dropped about 25 pounds and am regaining muscle mass and that could have something to do with it. Whatever the reason, though I was never overjoyed with the Seat Concepts, it is just barely tolerable now. It's a seat.... the same brand will be adored by some and loathed by others.
