A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
These are the 35L bags. Only used on one short trip. They have a mounting plate that allows the removal of the panniers at the motel or camp sight with a key. $250 plus shipping...
I have a front seat for a nc700x. This came off of a 14, but I think it will fit all the 700's. You can use it to experiment with padding. $50.00 plus shipping. PM if interested.
I also have a shop manual. Says its for a 2012, but I think its also good for the 700's. I used it for my 2014...
Just heard that Kickstand Motorcycle Lodge will open in May, they will start taking calls in April. I went up to KSL seven years in a row for some May riding, but missed the last few for health/Covid. I hope to make it this year. We usually gather around the weekend prior to the Memorial...
This is actually a problem on my Himalayan, but electrical circuits are similar.
I came home to a dead battery. Replaced the battery, but the bike was still dead. Found a blow fuse on the charging circuit. Replaced the fuse and it immediately blew. Any suggestions.
Also, the ABS pump would...
Last several times I've taken out the NC, I'll notice a little antifreeze smell when I pull into the garage. I don't see any obvious leaks. Any thoughts or experiences with anything like this.?
Has anyone had trouble with overfilling the gas tank? The pump doesn't click off when full and gas goes everyplace. Very frightening.
Its impossible to look into the tank while filling and I've had this happen several times.
Any thoughts or experiences?
I really can't remember which one this is. I think the numbers were confused a few years ago. I know that the first one was in 2009, although there was another rally at the coast the previous year by the folks that started this one.
This gathering was started by a small group of Honda...
Picked up this Hima today. Only did a few miles getting her home, but what a difference from the NC. The Hima feels so small and light.
Will start the lengthy break in tomorrow.
Since it was first announced, I've wanted to do the MABDR. Prior to its development, others had laid out the TET, a series of trails and roads from FLA to New England. I'm told the NC can handle it, although there is a rocky section where I would worry about the cast rims.
I live close...
I've bled brakes before, but I've not changed fluid as part of maintenance.
Do I just add fresh fluid at the reservoir, bleeding at the caliper until I have fresh fluid?
Thanks
I was planning to put new rubber on the NC later in the spring, but while on a 100 mile ride today, I noticed sudden wear on by front tire. When I left home, the tire was fine, pressure at 34. Pressure at the pic is 36. I can't imagine what caused the uneven wear and so quick. Any thoughts.
I'm still lazy, so most of this is from last year....and the year before...
KSL 10 will occur the weekend before the Memorial weekend, May 17-19. On those dates, motorcycle riders will gather at the Kickstand Motorcycle Lodge for a weekend of fun and frolic. This is an unofficial rally, no...
I'm thinking about riding the MABDR in 2019. I think the NC will be fine, but I was wondering about the water crossings. How deep would you think the cut off should be. I'm most worried about shorting electrical circuits. For instance, the horn. I know there are sensing circuits down low.
Here's hoping that all of you in the path of Michael are ok.
I was communicating with a new NC owner in Panama City a few days ago on another forum. Said he was on the safe side of the storm and was going to ride it out. Looks like Panama City was hit very hard. Prayers for him and anyone...
I had my first know AFIB attack back in October. Passed out in the kitchen. Doc gave me some pills and see ya in a year. I had low potassium, overweight, so I thought I could control this thing.
I've been concerned that I have a "weak" feeling from time to time...scares me a little b/c I don't...

The following was lifted from last year's post. I'm too lazy to type it again.
A bunch of you guys seemed to enjoy this in 2017...so I say lets do it again!!!
KSL 9 will occur the weekend before the Memorial weekend, May 18-21. On those dates...
Currently on my third set of PR 4's
Would like to run many of the fire roads at this years KSL, so thinking about doing some dual sport tires.
The TKC 80 / MItas e07 or Shinko 805 seems popular.
I get a new rear tire each season and front every other year. Usually do 5-6k miles each...
Read that a back country discovery route is being released in January. Wonder if it is mostly.the TET route? Also wonder how hard it would be on the NC
Just want you folks to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know that the forseable future might be very difficult. I hope you and your loved ones will be safe.
