Hi, I was actively reading this forum when I first got my NC700X, and have seen modifications to the seat, other seats, etc. Which is the most comfortable?

Hi, I am going to be traveling from Virginia to Portland, Oregon in June, in order to attend my daughter's graduation from Chiropractic School, with my family joining me for the return trip back to Virginia. I have a 2009 GMC Yukon that is very comfortable on long trips, and am thinking...

Hi, I just finished putting HeliBars on my Honda ST1100, leaving me with the stock handle bars and a set of Rox 2 inch adjustable risers. Now, I am considering putting them on my NC700X, but looks like the cables and wiring need to be relocated behind the triple tree to work. Before I...

Hi, I installed a Rostra Electronic Cruise Control unit for my Honda ST1100, and I really enjoy having it. I am tempted to install one on my NC700X, but I guess for me it is easier to modify a 22 year old MC than one a year old. It is really nice to not worry about maintaining speed while...

Hi, I found a deal on Chase Harper saddlebags, tank bag, and tool bag. I decided to use the tank bag and tool bag on my ST1100, but the saddlebags seemed to want toswing under the fender, closer to the rear wheel than I want. I had already installed a Hepco and Becker Alu-rack, so I...

Hi, I just starting riding motorcycles again last August, after a hiatus since 1985. I decided to buy these wireless intercoms with bluetooth, so I can make and take cell phone calls while riding. Yesterday I rode with a buddy of mine 575 miles, going from the Chesapeake Bay up in the...

I purchased a used Chase Harper tank bag with the magnetic wings and a loop in the front. I attached the loop to a RAM Mount which kept it from falling off, but at 60 mph, the bag started going airborne, floating up off of the not-a-tank. Any suggestions to better secure this tank bag to the bike?

I found these Marinco lighter sockets for less than $4.00 with free shipping. Here is the link: 12 Volt Receptacles I am thinking about installing one in the not-a-tank and another one on the part of the not-a-tank between the handlebars and the lid, but am not sure if I have room...

Hi, I could not believe that Honda would sell a new motorcycle with only a cheapie screwdriver and a plastic tubing-covered wire in the tool bag. I would like a tool kit that has wrenches like my ST1100 has. Does Honda sell a tool kit that is not too overpriced that doesn't take up too much...

Hi, When I bought my bike back in October, the service manual was not in stock. Are they available now? If so, what is the item number? Seth Anderson

Hi, after almost 2 months, BikeBandit is shipping me the center stand I ordered six weeks ago. I am buying it for a lot less than the stealership.

Hi, I installed the crash guard and rear rack on my NCX yesterday while dodging the raindrops from Sandy. The crash guard was a little tricky because space was tight removing the bolt and placing the front flange under the front fairing. The rear rack was pretty easy, except washers...

Hi, I want to install a rear rack on my NCX and I would like to see more than one picture of the rack before I order it. I am planning to use soft bags for now, but may put a hard case on later. Does the Honda rack require drilling? It would be nice to be able to see accessories at the...

My bike has almost 500 miles and I want to do an oil change. I have read that Rotella is used instead of Mobil 1 10w-40 racing 4T oil. I can buy Four quart jug for $21.36, while the Mobil 1 is $9.99 per qt. The Rotella is Jaso MA rated.

Hi, It is getting close to getting the 600 mile oil change. I have added the following farkles: a charging connection to trickle charge the battery and use to keep my android phone charged, A Ram Mount on the left handlebar, a CalSci large windshield, Fairing Deflector, and a lower...

Hi, I have been looking at these three crash guards, and it appears that the Hepco and Becker looks to be the best of the three. It is a one-piece design, whereas the other two makes have a separate left and right side. The bar looks like it would be a great place to mount accessory driving...

Hi, I was really surprised that there was no temperature gauge on the NCX I picked up yesterday. I wish I could install a temp gauge, as well as a voltmeter and an oil pressure gauge. I guess it is the redneck in me, but I like to know what my engine is experiencing. Seth Anderson Moon, VA

Hi, Maybe I have missed it, but it would be nice to have a current listing of available accessories by manufacturers, so that, if I want to find a hugger, I can go to a list of every manufacturer who makes these, and the retailers they can be purchased would be nice, too. Since this is a...

Hi, I just picked up a new NC700X with manual transmission today, and while reading the Owners Manual, there was reference to an NC700XA and an NC700XD, in addition to the garden variety NC700X. I know the XD is the dual clutch automatic tranny/ABS version, but what is the XA version? I...

Hi, I just put $1000 down on a NC700X and plan to pick it up Monday morning. I would like a top case and pannier bags, but after adding up all of the nickel and dime things, it adds up to around $1800. I noticed the Givi and Hepco and Becker websites have similiar cases, as well as the...
