Posted speed limit of 65. Tractor trailers carrying farm goods and freight rarely travel slower than 70mph and most traffic traveling at greater speeds. Really caught me by surprise as in the afternoon most traffic is 70-73mph and chp/police don't even bother. Have had a prior ticket reduced by...

Got a speeding ticket on the way to work at 4:20 am. Does anyone know what lidar/ radar chp is using in there new ford explorer cruisers? Officer said he clocked me doing 80mph while oncomming and when he did a uturn across the highway and got behind me he said I was only doing 70mph. I...

any review yet?

Identity crisis? Maybe? Looks like a sport bike or an adventure bike maybe a dual sport and with the muffler removed it sounds like a v-twin cruiser :) Here in the Imperial valley we get strong wind on a daily basis. If the wind is at your back you don't feel a thing, but when it's a headwind...

Ok thanks!

Well how about that! Less than an hour after emailing sprocket center I received a personal phone call from them after he was looking through his emails. He said tomorrow he will overnight a new chain the correct size and include another rivet type link and I should receive it Tuesday. Hopefully...

I am tired of messing with the chain and especially after the poor performance and life of the stock chain, and would like to install an tutoro oiler to extend the life of the new DID vx2 chain that sprocket center has so far has managed to send me two incorrect chains. When looking for the...

Well the stock chain has finally given up. No matter how much lube and chain tensioning I have performed in the last few thousand miles the chain has reached the point where it is stretched beyond what can be adjusted and is full of stiff links. I have just under 12 thousand miles on the...

I kinda like the sound of the bike with the stock exhaust removed. It Is a little loud, especially when leaving at 3 am. I think I have confused a lot of people while sitting at stoplights and giving the throttle a quick blip. I see people look around looking for a v twin Harley or Honda and do...

Check out rigid industries Duallys. I have them on my nc and they put out 1568 lumens and only consume 20 watts. Made the brackets to attach beneath the windscreen and the paint matches the stock gauge pod and grab rails almost perfectly. Sorry bout the sideways pics

Oops! Forgot to mention the valve clearance check, but yes will be done prior to coolant replacement. Don't think I'll be swapping out the rear shock quite yet. What oil is readily available? i have read the debate over mobile 1 racing oil and dont really have an opinion either way. The local...

Well, I've put over 9000 hard miles on the Nc since march 2013 and the bike is ready for some maintenance. The stock chain is starting to make all kinds of noise. Admittedly, I have neglected to oil on a regular basis and the desert, with all the rain and mud has taken its toll. I have...

Have any of you seen this metzler? Metzeler MCE Karoo Dual Sport Rear Tire - Chaparral Motorsports It's only available in a 150/70-17. Can it theoretically be stretched across the width of the rim? I realize the loss of the profile, but the extra 10% aspect ratio height would make up for the...

Thanks sarge. That's what I came up with too. Has anyone tried installing a dirt tire that was measured in inches and were there any fitment issues besides the front fender interference?

Is it as simple as 120mm divided by 25.4 = 4.72 front and 160 divided by 25.4 = 6.29 rear?

Does anyone have the rim widths in inches so a wider array of tires can be posted? I find that real off road tires are listed in inches and they are much more affordable like $100 per set compared to $400 for dual sport tires. I don't mind tearing up a pair of dirt tires that cheap on the road...

Locked keys in my frunk. Update! Got them out! Has anyone been able to open the frunk without their keys? Any suggestions? I'm in the middle of nowhere about to teach a class and by the time class is over it will probably be close to freezing. Yay Fridays! UPDATE! I got them out. I was able...

Twisted throttle has a 3 inch triangular reflective sticker with their logo that I have on the lower rear portion of my helmet. I think they were a dollar or two, but they sent me three. Really nice quality and flexible to form to helmet. Got no pics as my helmet is in the frunk and just dropped...

Could these be used in conjunction with say a custom bracket behind the windscreen as a spacer to mount some led auxiliary lights?

Perfectly normal as your body is not used to the bikes ergonomics. My inner thighs were sore the next day after my weekend commute home (150 miles each way) for the first month and after a few months I don't get sore anymore and do a 45 minute commute everyday through horrible potholed asphalt...
