    Danmoto muffler mod and internals

    Well, the wife and kids are out of state, so I have time to do stuff for a few days. Something that I've been thinking about is modding my Danmoto Jisu muffler to make it smaller. The shape isn't a simple circular tube like some, but it is still the same basic design. The endcaps are just...

    Cell Phone GPS Mount for free

    Well, almost free. The materials are Aluminum extrusion scraps. The holster came with the Otterbox for my new Galaxy Note 4 that I got a couple of weeks ago. I've really come to like these giant phones. They make videos and GPS navigating much better. I couldn't find a U-Channel...

    Motorcycle Underwears

    After years of wearing Hanes/Fruit of the Loom Boxer Briefs, I decided to bite the bullet and get some nice underwear. The material and seams in my "normal" underwear gets really uncomfortable after about 100 miles in the saddle. It didn't seem to matter what bike I was on. With a recent...

    Air filter hole

    I searched the forum, and the innerwebs in general, and could not find an explanation for the hole in the air filter. My OEM filter has it, and all the pics I could find of aftermarket filters have it also. I have two theories: 1. It is a moisture drain so that small amounts of water...

    Sprocket Cover Mod (no shift lever removal)

    I kind of forgot that I had even done this mod until I was reminded by another thread. This was probably this first mod I did to my NC when I got it last year. I guess my robot lizard brain has no room for sentimental value. After I had to remove the shift lever to get the sprocket cover...

    Wind noise for tall riders

    For reference, I'm about 6'2" to 6'3", depending on what time of day it is. I have an Arai Signet-Q helmet (full face), which is pretty quiet compared to most helmets, but I still had a problem with the volume of wind noise I was getting with the stock windshield. First, I tried some mods to...

    SW Motech Shift Lever Modification

    A few weeks ago, I fitted Buell drop footpegs to my NC, to get some extra leg room. http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-mods/5670-buell-footpeg-mod.html I am happy with the mod. The brake pedal has plenty of adjustment range to move down to match the drop and does not interfere with the pegs...

    Kickstand (sidestand) wobble

    Ever since I installed my center stand, I've noticed that the side stand was loose. The pivot bolt was tight, but there was still a significant amount of play in the in-to-out direction with the stand down. I removed the pivot bolt and found that there was not too much play in the pivot bore...

    Honda Light Bar and Radiator Cap clearance

    Just a quick little tip here. I installed the Honda Light Bar a while ago and noticed at the time that it made access to the radiator cap a little more difficult. This became a minor inconvenience when it came time to do the valve check and refill the radiator. I had to use a funnel and...

    Buell Footpeg Mod

    Here is a mod that I've been planning on trying for a while. I am about 6'3" tall, with a 36" inseam and have tried a few things to improve my ergos by spreading things out a little. I have a 1.5" handlebar riser, and have done the Showkey Mod...

    SUV driver was stupid, but so was I

    http://youtu.be/t7i49mdx_ik So, this happened to me while riding to work yesterday afternoon around 5pm. I got into a Left Turn lane. The Ram truck in front of me waited for a gap in traffic, then proceeded to turn left. I moved up to position. I had my left turn signal on the whole time...

    Danmoto vs. Stock muffler w/ video

    So I finally bit the bullet and bought a Danmoto muffler. The price was right ($170 total). I also got the extra baffle, and in hindsight, I'm glad I did. The open Danmoto was a little too loud for residential riding in the middle of the night, which I do a lot of with my work schedule...

    Wanting to add oil pressure gauge...

    :confused: I like to have an oil pressure gauge on anything I drive. I've added gauges to cars, trucks, lawnmowers, and motorcycles. In my experience, it's easiest to tap a "T" fitting where the factory idiot light switch gets its pressure on the engine block. However, on the NC, I cannot...

    Stock Metzeler Z8 Tire Film coating

    I have seen a few people mention this issue, but could not find a dedicated thread, so I figured I would start one. Hopefully, it won't be as bad as asking what oil I should use! :p Hopefully, if others read and comment on this post, new riders won't be caught off guard. When I first test...

    LED Accent Lights

    Due to my work schedule, a lot of my miles are done in the dark. I found a bunch of cheap flexible LED accent light strips at Autozone on sale. I mounted 2x 8" strips under the tail, 2x 24" strips over the engine, 1x 8" strip under the beak, and 1x 8" strip in the Frunk as a courtesy light. I...
