I have Lust Racing lowering links, raised the forks, and put on an NC700S centerstand and kickstand.

Might just be me but if you stand on the pegs to mount your bike, get rid of that Soupy's sidestand. Mine snapped in half the very first time I mounted my bike. Let me tell you, it hurts a hell of a lot to fall on the side inside a packed garage.

Hi Dale. I'm planning on taking my bike to Prudhoe Bay. Would definitely love your input on what I need to survive the journey. I hear your DCT skid plates are above and beyond all others, and I definitely want the best protection for that trip. Do you still make these? And do you think I...

I love mine. I think you'll only drive yourself crazy trying to figure it out until you've been able to get used to one. I've already got about 47K on mine and she's only 16 months old and holding up very well. I love the transmission and am planning on getting the Africa Twin when I can afford...

I came in dead last of the non-hopeless class bikes but I had a great time (with the exception of Nebraska which tried to kill me). My bike however appears to have suffered an ailing fuel pump, or at least, that's what it seems to be like, and had to 'limp' home (had to maintain 6th gear in MT...

The same thing started happening to me in the last couple days of the IBR. Had to "limp" home from Albuquerque to Philly with the bike locked in MT 6th gear and riding in between 60 and 75mph. Any time I got cut off or hit a constructing zone where I got slowed down, my bike would act just as...

Trouble with headwinds and high speeds too I'm the other fella! :) It is so rare for me to even see another NCX, let alone an NCXD, and I've never even parked in the same vicinity as another one until now! I too had a lot of trouble coming west from Texas through New Mexico. I kept having...

How did you raise the front fender? I've got a Commander II 160/70 rear and Metzeler ME880 stock front. 30mm lowering dogbone installed and forks raised 3/4". At 75 mph indicated, GPS registers 78 mph. I'm pretty happy. :) Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

It's always a tough call but there's always next time. Maybe you could try it on the way back?

Good luck!

Can't afford it. Can barely afford the IBR. Why I'm also doing Cape Fear and Mason Dixon is beyond me lol. I'm also running my own rally on May 2nd. 8 hr rally.

Good luck! I never realized how many IBA members there are here. :) Go get it!

I did a BBG on my Silverwing back in 2011 (1520 miles in 23 hrs 59 minutes and 27 seconds). I did my minuteman 1k also on my Silverwing in 2012. I made the mistake of taking my rest bonus at HQ, woke up, then realized I had just lost 25k points cos the rest bonus for that year had to be taken at...

Hi from Philly!

Looks like there'll be 3 Autobutts in 2015 as my friend Lynda will be on her C650GT. She's ridden pillion on 2 IBRs with her husband's Terry. This will be her first as pilot. As for the aux, my buddy tapped into the main tank. It's a bit of a pain to get to but he knows his stuff. Funny - I...

About 1200 miles. Philly to Minneapolis. About 22 hrs.

To the OP: I'll be running my NC700XD in 2015. :) Mods I've made to mine: 1. Used a spare key that's bungee-corded to my main ignition key - that way I can access my frunk without having to remove the ignition key 2. Removed the pillion seat and had a friend custom-make me a 3.5 gallon...

Tankbag IronButt84, I was wondering which tankbag you use with your NC and if it's waterproof. I see you have the top straps under the frunk lip which I haven't yet tried with my Enduristan tankbag. I have a DCT so the parking brake on the left doesn't allow me to use a RAM brake...

Does anyone have a source for 39T rear sprockets? I have the DCT model and I can't find anything aside from OEM. Sprocket Center only has kits for the manual model (43T rear). Hammy
