They are not split. I dropped the front forks and slid the gaiters over. Very simple to do. Took about an hour.

Thanks for the link. I was able to find a 14 model in my area that came with a black engine. Now if I could black out the rear sets. Thought about powder coat but not sure how it would hold up.

Dang good ideas! Since I've almost completely blacked out all the grey and silver on my red 14 NC, (painted plastic engine guard, black fork gaiters, black Madstad screen) I couldn't think of any other mods. So I'm on these! Do you have a link to the levers?

Put it on Craigslist before going to a dealer. Someone will come along and buy it eventually.

If you see a red NC skedaddling around the Parkway in western North Carolina it's probably me.

2014 NC700X used mainly as a mule to take me camping to fishing holes and mountain trails of which I do alot of trail running. Necessary farkles: Madstad gen 2 wind screen Barkbuster hand guards Oxford heated grips and ambient temp gauge Extenda fenda SW Motech engine guards LED driving...

I confused your post with PortlandZinMan. Yeah the dark shield would not be suitable with 80% riding at night.

But the dark shield looks so nice on that red bike! I received my 20" this week. Fits me much better than the 18". A little surprising being that I'm only 5'6. Luckily I am able to see over the shield adjusted for highway speed so I will be keeping the dark tint.

Some pics of a second generation Madstad on a red bike. The shield is an 18" dark grey. It does provide exceptional wind protection, but I must have the shield in it's highest position to smooth out the buffeting. I will be sending it back for a 20".

Great looking set-up! Those will look awesome painted red. You got a heck of a deal on that top box. 300 bucks is cheap as I could find one.

I have a Yoshimura can. Mainly because I like the carbon fiber on the red bike. It added a deeper rumble, but no where near to loud. Noticed no change in performance or mpg.

I never have liked top boxes very much, but to satisfy my bad habit of packing to much camping gear I purchased a Givi V46. I think the Givi set up looks good and is top quality.

Don't feel bad. It happened to me just last week. In a crowded gravel parking lot. Going very slow looking for a place to park. Front tire slid out in some loose gravel. Next thing I know I'm down under the bike. Got out from under it. Pissed off I picked the bike up. Only damage was some minor...

No clearance issues at all with the Barkbuster handguards. Really like the ZG screen.

Another Zero Gravity...

Sorry...I just don't feel bad for these idiots that ride like their doing track days on public roads! I was nearly took out this past week by a R1 dragging a knee on my side of a 2 lane 45 mph road. Some people learn the hard way.

Yourrr gonnaaa miss that frunk! ha. Congrats on the Triumph. That's a sweet bike!

For me the stock doesn't hurt my little @ss to bad. A better screen is all I need to make the 700X a touring bike.

I would rather spend about 8.5k for this 500X. Would fit my 5'6" frame much better and all the power I need...

Want to make an even bigger difference? Add a clean diet in with the exercise. No processed foods. Lots of vegetables and healthy carbs and protein. Smaller portions at restaurants. Cut back on the alcohol. Stick with it and it becomes a lifestyle. The results are amazing.
