Has anyone removed the left OEM Honda (glued-on) heated grip without damaging it? I'm afraid that my usual ham-fisted method of inserting a thin blade screwdriver and pouring acetone between the bar and the grip will damage the heating element. Suggestions sought!

While hooking up some auxiliary LED driving lamps into the Honda auxiliary harness, I discarded the kit supplied illuminated switch and substituted a non-illuminated toggle on/off switch. The illuminated switch had 3 prongs to accept 3 wires from the LED light harness. Two of the three LED...

So I've gone on a farkling rampage and wanted to mount up some auxiliary lights, but didn't really care for the Honda light-bar. I decided to have a crack at fabbing up my own. I decided to use the mounting points that the Honda unit would bolt into. These are two holes on a small triangular...

So after several attempts, and getting it partially right at least once I decided to follow the instructions provided by Honda.... Ninety percent done and then I get to the final hook up and there is no way that the connectors between the right heated handgrip and the harness will fit will fit...

I'll be selling my Honda OEM sidecases, but I'm unsure what else the buyer will be needing to properly mount them. Obviously, the bags, upper and lower mounting brackets, and the rear grab rail. But will the buyer also need my rear plastic side panels? I'll be posting these up in the...

I purchased a used 2013 NC7X with an electrical outlet installed in the front trunk, so it already has the accessory 4 outlets installed. Here are my q's: 1. One of the plugs goes to the trunk electrical outlet, but this has a 1 (one) amp fuse. Can this be correct? 2. Can the trunk...

I'd like to replace the upper one piece handlebar clamp with seperately clamps. I tried to use some old Suzuki top clamps that I had laying around, but I guess that they're not a universal fit. Does anyone know where I could obtain a set of two upper clamp pieces that would fit the stock NC7X ?

I thought I'd start a picture thread showing the various saddlebags offered for our beloved NC700x. Below are some I've dragged off the Internet, and indeed some of them are from this site! My "thanks" to anyone whose pic I may have posted below! Please add your own comments if you're so...

Looking at the Honda OEM heated grips and I'm wondering if the left grip, which incorporates the control switch is longer than the non-heated grip it replaces (?) Also....I've read that Beemerphile has posted some instructions on how to install the heated grips. I've searched all TWENTY pages...

Pictures are worth a thousand words, so I'll keep the verbage to a minimum....once upon a time there was this fella who couldn't leave well-enough alone. He thought that if one solution to a single problem was good, then two solutions were better.... and three better yet! Solution 1 Add a brace...

I'm looking to install a set of heated grips on my NC7x and I'm considering the OEM grips which at $270 seem a bit steep considering Oxford grips are less than $100. I am, however a fan of Honda quality and generally like to use OEM products. Are the OEM heated grips that much better? Are...

I've been following the adventures of Doctor Zed on his NC700X over on the ADVrider site CannonTrek.CO - Bashing Big Bikes in the Backcountry of Colorado - ADVrider and I'm impressed that his NC700X 6 speed was able to keep up with the more dedicated off road bikes, due in large part, I'm sure...

I read a post recently written by a member who had just switched from a NC700X to an XD. I recall that he enjoyed and liked the XD, and was glad he had made the switch. But now I can't find his post, and I'd like to re-read it to see if I can gleen some additional info regarding the...

So I'm looking for a rider only touring/ adventure bike and the Vstrom 650 is at the top of my list. Can anyone make a direct comparison between the WeeStrom and the NC700X ? Any insights appreciated... FWIW I weigh 140 lb., wear full riding gear and plan to mount saddlebags and a...
