Can someone post up some pictures of the bottom of the OEM trunk? Not inside, but outside, underneath. I'm mainly interested in the mounting setup. I'd kind of like to rig up a shorty trunk that just snaps and locks onto the OEM rack. Something just big enough too keep tools and a tire...

Friday was decent enough so I loaded up the NC with my camera and a few lenses to try and get some shots in the big city. No NC pictures, it was just the tool to get me there. I processed these in a somewhat HDR fashion. Some dig HDR others hate it. Still haven't figured out what is...

Got the call from my dealer today that my parts were finally in. :) Love those Honda labels: Parts included with the centerstand: Parts included with the windshield: Here's a shot of the new windshield over the stock one. Gives you an idea as to how much more real estate the...

Let’s do a photo contest for the next calendar. Submit wintery photos to this thread during the winter season (12/21/12 though 3/19/13). Those that like your photo can vote by “liking” your post with the image. At the end of the winter season (3/19/13), I’ll lock the thread. The six images...

Do you play an instrument? Favorite music you play? Better yet, in a band? Gig? I goof around on the drums. Would love to get good enough some day to play live but I'm still in that awkward learning phase. Thankfully my kit is electric so I don't have to disturb the neighbors. I played...

Not sure how these will look because of the quality loss, but here's a couple of night shots: I'm going to have to get out of town to get to some darker skys. WGW

A few years ago, I kept smelling that smell of death in my garage. I figured it must have been a mouse that crawled into a box somewhere and died. Didn't think much more about it. A few months later while detailing my previous goldwing I discovered this: Imagine it's surprise...

I tried to upload some pictures tonight. They have a good bit of detail, but that detail is lost in the upload. I'm guessing the forum software is putting some sort of compression on them. Does anyone know what the album picture size limit is? At what point does the forum software take over...

I went on a multi-tank ride today. A little over 300 miles. On the first tank, I ran 75 - 80 MPH. Hit reserve (blinking guage) at 135 miles. When I filled up, my mileage was 47.8 mpg. Worst ever. So, on the second tank I ran 65 - 70 MPH. Hit reserve at 161 miles and got 57.4 mpg. Amazing...

Motorcycle Consumer News review is posted here: http://www.mcnews.com/mcn/model_eval/2012NC700FirstImp.pdf Looks like they liked it. Thier biggest gripe was the seat. WGW

Thought I'd post up about Suzuki Wash. The stuff is amazing. Literally, wet the bike, spray this stuff on, let it sit (buy not dry), then rinse. I usually wet the bike, spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes, then, just mist the bike a second time with water to get it foamed up again, and...

Got my grips and jacket liner stuff installed. My bikes a little dirty so never mind the dirt. :) The grips are called Hot Grips: I really like these because the are bigger than most grips. I have long fingers and having something a little more substantial to wrap them around feels...

Well, I've neglected my Goldwing since I bought the NC700X. So, I spent a little quality time with her over the last week. A buddy and I did a 5 day, 1900 mile road trip that included, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana. We visited the Corn Palace, Badlands, Sturgis, Devils...

Stumbled into this this morning. If you rest the toe portion of your boot on the driver foot rest, the heel of your boot will rest nicely on the passenger foot rest. It doesn't even have to be unfolded. There's enough of a nub sticking out to support your heel. Of course, if you have smaller...

Got my saddle bag bling today. Pretty simple install. The panels have double stick foam tape around the edges and a plastic rivet for the center: Plastic rivet, new Honda emblems, and an alcohol wipe: Plastic rivet: Rivet installed: Back of installed rivet...

They sure don't seem substantial enough to make that big of a difference, but sometimes small changes makes big improvements. Anybody have them? If so, are they worth it? Would you buy them again? Are they removable for summertime or do they install with foam tape? Thanks, WGW

OEM Bags and Rack are Installed - Pictures Included I couldn't really find many pictures on the bags installed and detached, so I thought I'd post a few. Here's a shot without the bags, but with the brackets installed. I was originally concerned with how the brackets...

Some of my goodies came in today. I ordered them last Friday when I bought the bike. The rear rack, saddle bag mounting brackets: And of course the bags: They said my center stand and windshield were backordered. Should arrive on 12/15/12. I also picked up...
