I'm gloating a bit, but added a plug-n-play old OEM horn above the NC unit. A single horn, no matter how loud, sounds anemic. I did the same on an 04 ST1300. These horns can be adjusted to get maximum volume and sound excellent in pairs.

Surviving 57+ years of motorcycle riding I've as of late adjusted hi/lo beam usage. Glaring sun is more dangerous for commuting verses overcast days. On clear days I run hi beam, lo on overcast. Shadows from the sun make eye adjustment more difficult. Lower wintertime sun increases glare...

Coming off WV 'the hill' from the farm on my C125 Cub yesterday making a downhill left hander the front ABS slid out, had to let off the brake, putting my left foot down hard but heading for the guard rail. Recovered only to slide out on the next right hander 100 yards down the road. MY cousin...

Removed from 2013 NC700XD with intent to install on current 2017 NC700XD, but did not. Kit includes all parts listed on Pub # Mll-13973 Feb 2012 and Mll-13973 Apr 2012, included. 3-Way Switch ( for LED Fog Lights mounted on engine guards) and 12V Plug-in mounted in Frunk. Switch wired to beam...

A short section of my 12 mile ride to the farm was closed 3 or 4 years ago for 2 weeks for slip repair. So I traversed 2 creek crossings and a hay field for 150 yards but had to 'walk' the bike out of the upper crossing. From the R/H side, grab the rail, start pulling and add throttle. I love...

I was surprised there's only $800 difference. ABS, huge safety feature and DCT alone are worth that IMO for these 5-star upgrades. Do you agree dduelin all the ST13 owners who crashed, stepped up to ABS on the replacement bikes? I chirped the rear in Marysville OH when a gray minivan crossed...

I don't want to belabor this thread but........I do wish Honda had a bar type gauge similar to the current fuel gauge setup. Can the current electronics detect a slow warmup condition? Thermostats in years past seemed prone to sticking open undetected, too frequently in my experience, but cannot...

Very lucky driver today.

The name a co worker called the amber add ons I had on a 97 PC800.

Scary.

IMO this NC w/its' unique to the market offset crank throw (for even side wall pressure) and tranny that will never allow one to lug the engine would seem capable of far more miles before needing a refresh than anything in the 700cc class. DCT always keeps the engine in the correct rev range...

I replaced the front bulbs w/these I had bought years ago for something but never used. I remember they speed up the flashing. Anybody know an easy fix to slow that down? The light is yellow now; not amber. I don't know the wattage use and assume the light is more effective.

The C125A Cub headlight has 10 bulbs. The upper half is low beam and bottom half hi. There's a narrow yellow looking diffuser lens running across the middle. I'm curious how the 2018 headlight is arranged.

In order to get more similar tire wear front and back I've started using front brake only; the rear also in emergency. We always install both when the front will usually have a few thousand still available. My Cub is ABS front, drum at rear.

After 50+ years of riding I've started using hi beam on sunny days and lo on more overcast days. On such days shadows from trees etc onto the roadway adds to the visibility issue.

This acronym appears in the wiring schematic surrounded by a boxed cutting plane line (CPL)@ several locations; 2 were to a single wire. On blueprints a CPL ID's an imaginary cut thru an object but have perpendicular arrows in the line. This is different, however. Honda Power Sports think it is...

Considering wiring the pair each running, hand guard and fog lights I'm moving from the 2013 I sold onto my 2017 via a 'simple' hookup. The same running lights are on my C125A by sliding a 3" piece of garage door opener single strand wire into a clear connector spade on one of the handlebar...

I never understood why the 'adventure' (occasional trails) NC has Z rated tires and not GS style dual sport fitments. I learned in the 90s' Honda part #'ered BS tires had an R stamping following the model designation on the sidewall for the ST13. It had a 32nd or 2 more tread depth than the...

At 8K miles I turned the adjuster nearly 3 turns to get the diamond mark w/i the index lines. The park brake had little holding power on even a slight grade. Now it holds very well.

I've had maybe 3 weights break at the same weak point over the years They are a hassle to replace. These weights are under continuous loading from the oscillation they endure and the (needed) bar end weight drives this failure. A little higher quality steel would probably solve this. The number...
