I found some older posts referring to the CycleShell cover for bikes, but is anyone currently using one? If so, opinions, thoughts?

Anyone have any info on a foot pad/peg extension that can be attached to the stock foot brake peg? I currently am using the 1/2 dowel-in-the-hole trick, but I would feel better with something more stable. I am trying to avoid welding an extension onto the factory peg. Any ideas?

So I'm trying to get a consensus opinion on whether or not the side-stand on the NC700 is strong enough to stand up to an occasional side-stand turn or pivot. When the bike goes into shed storage for the Winter I would like to be able to turn it flush with the rear wall. A web search of info...

Having tried a general search using "front sprocket" "chain cleaning" etc, etc, and getting too many hits to properly search them...... can anyone steer me toward a site or provide some quick info on what needs to be removed to get to the front sprocket for cleaning/maintenance? Thanks in...

Anyone have any experience using a center stand dolly for their bike? If so, any recommendations either way? Type, manufacturer, etc. etc.

I'm replacing the mirror extenders on my bike and in reading the instructions, I noticed that the manufacturer calls for 46 ft lbs of torque on the replacement bolt that goes into the mirror attachment on the brake resevoir. While I normally don't use torque (as opposed to 'guesstimating' the...

So I came out of a restaurant yesterday and noticed my right-side mirror was out of position. Thinking someone must have nudged it, I tried to move it back into position, only to find it bent where the mirror shaft is screwed into my mirror extender. After getting the back home (with the mirror...

Is anyone familiar with Accessory International out of Florida? I ordered a top rack from these folks, got a email saying my order had been processed and that I would receive a tracking number within 48 hours..... that was 9 days ago. After calling them I find out that customer service...

So I raised up the seat using the over-sized bumper and 'tongue on top of the bracket' trick. But I'm trying to come up with a way to fill the space between the seat bottom and the side cowling after the seat is raised. I've had to shoo bees out from under the seat twice now and would like to...

Had the bike to the dealer today and found out the where having a special that was for: 1. Clean and lube the chain 2. Inspect the sprockets 3. Adjust chain tension. 4. Clean and polish the bike All for $30.00. Figured it was worth it since I was there anyway and it would save me the...

So I'm expecting my new Seat Concepts to be delivered tomorrow and plan on doing my own install. My question, for those who have done their own work is; Should I plan on putting a layer of plastic sheeting between the foam and the vinyl cover? Watching Seat Concepts videos shows them doing...

So I just ordered the Seat Concept cover/foam for the bike. Has anyone done their own install on this product? If so, how did it go? I watched a couple of their vids showing installs and it looks 'do-able' at home with some spray adhesive, some silicone and some patience. Yes...No....Maybe?

Changing my engine oil/filter tomorrow. First time doing it myself on the NC. My question is..... Good idea to change out the clutch oil filter at the same time? The bike has about 4,000 miles on it.

So...... just ordered the Danmoto JISU can. Should be here in a few days. Anything I need to know about the installation? Problems, tricks, etc, etc?

A couple of folks have asked for pics for the Palmer Products baffle I installed on my Palmer Products screen frame. I apologize for the pic quality as the bike is currently in winter storage in my shed and I was using a cell phone camera. Anyway.... here's the pics. #1 is the screen rotated...

Well...... Just added the Palmer Products wind/noise baffle to my screen assembly. First of a few ' It's to damn cold to ride so I'll work in the shed' projects. Looks like it will do a decent job of blocking some of the air flow under the screen. We'll see when the weather gets warmer!

Just got the bike at the end of last year and spent the cold winter months 'farkling' it while it was in my shed. Rode it all summer. Now Winter's coming again and the bike will eventually go back in the shed. What the Hell am I supposed to do all Winter now??? Guess I'll just have to get a...

So..... has anyone installed the Alu-Rack on their bike yet? If so, a couple of questions. 1. Worth it? 2. Easy install? 3. Big enough to tie a 25 liter dry-bag onto? 4. Look ok on the bike? Inquiring minds want to know! :)

A recent post about the Polaris, plus some bar-room discussions I've had make me wonder.............. If you absolutely HAD TO give up riding on two wheels, would you go for a Polaris-type vehicle with two in front? Or would you go for a trike, with two in the back? Or would you give up...
