When I installed my Denali light bar back about a year ago, I had to remove the bottom panel under the "beak" assembly. I never reinstalled the panel because it looked like I would have to do some cutting on it to make it fit around the light bar. I was surprised how much road noise seemed to...

I am looking for the mesh-y-est of mesh gear for my wife. I mean so meshy that if fishnet panty hose came with knee and hip padding, that's what we'd buy. My wife enjoys riding with me but she hates hot weather, which isn't good when you live in Tampa and it's hot and humid 6 months out of the...

I had a Bell Star 120 with this bill and a half visor on it back in the late 70s. I loved the visor. Protected the eyes from wind blast but gave me a bit of air and it wouldn't flip up or down. I'd like to have something new but with the same configuration but I can't find anything...

Rode my 2000 model Triumph Tbird 900 to one of our local Triumph shops. I'd been looking at the 2015 Bonneville they had in the showroom and they told me to let them see my old bike some day. Anyway, I get a call saying that the new T120, 1200cc model is in stock and that they would like to...

Just looking for any "gotcha's" from those who have done this prior. I've seen that several suggested to install the bar 180 degrees from where the factory instructions show. Any other things to look out for. I intend to mount the lights on the top of the bar.

Just checking to see if there is heat or interference issues.

On my maps, I'm seeing a few twisty roads within the preserve area. I can't tell if if they are gravel or dirt. I've got the stock NC tires on the bike and I'don't want to waste time on a trip up there if I can't get down the roads with the gear I've got. Anyone ridden in this area?

I want to ride safely and come home in one piece. That said, I've never really had a riding suit other than a leather jacket, nylon mesh jacket, boots and a standard pair of Levis. I guess it's mainly because I live in the South and it's hot and muggy down here. But now I'm evaluating what I...

So I'm sitting at a stop light when a guy in one of those shoebox shaped Isuzu vehicles rolled up next to me. He rolled down his window and asked me the infamous question, "Is that thing as underpowered as they say it is?" I told him not to believe them. I said this thing has as much power as...

That seems to be me at take off. There's always a slight bit of a wobble or a balance check as I start off from a dead stop - may be a couple of inches drift total. To deal with this, I usually keep both feet down, spread enough to be outside of the range of the foot pegs assuming that the...

I bought the NCX specifically because it was light weight but ever since I placed the order, I have being buying other bits and pieces and bolting them on. I'm spending money like a drunken sailor in Singapore. At this pace it will weigh as much as a Goldwing in no time.:confused: Luckily...

In my case it was the seat pad I added to the Honda Top Case and the new Shad pillion Comfort seat. When I raise the seat to refuel, the extra padding in the seat makes contact with the pad on the top case. I have to give it a little push to compress the padding to make the seat brace engage...

I've got an iPad Air (1st generation) and I want to use it for maps. It is in an Otter Box case. I want to be able to see it while driving. I don't need to manipulate it since I am wearing gloves. I can't seem to find a mount or a tank bag online that assures me that this thing will fit...

I might have wrecked the threads on my handlebar bolts. I adjusted my handlebars the other day and tightened the bolts with a normal size socket wrench. I was conservative with how tight I went since I don't have a torque wrench. I accidentally leaned on the bars when dismounting and the bars...

In June of this year I bought a Triumph Thunderbird 900. After being left out of a group excursion on motorcycles in Hawaii back in August, I had been getting interested in bikes again - especially seeing my new son in law and his Dad on their bikes. I didn't even have a motorcycle endorsement...

My new NCX is the first bike that I have owned that had a beak or a fairing mounted headlight. Let me also add that there has been 37 year gap away from motorcycles that is also contributing to an issue that I am having when driving at night. I've always had a headlight that would point in...

Here I sit on my "new" 2013 model NC700x. The dealer had two the day I ordered mine over the phone. One was dressed out, for the most part, like the one I'm sitting on. Talking to the manager, he said he had been advertising the two of them on Craigslist for 6 months and within 15 minutes of...

Saturday, November 7th, I pick up my new 2013 model NC700X at First Coast Powersports in St. Augustine, Florida and drive it back to Brandon, Florida which is outside of Tampa. I've decided to avoid a three hour drive down Interstate highways full of winter migrating "snowbirds" by driving...

The two bikes I now own were bought used. One is 15 years old and is in good condition. However, there's never a day when I am not listening for a funny sound or any little niggle here or there, expecting it to cause me to end my ride early. Haha, and when one is in the shop, I have the other...

I have my reasons for considering buying a new NC700x. Some of the dealers have some 2014 models (still new) that have attractive prices on them. I'm thinking that I could use the difference in price to go ahead and add some saddle bags and a rear cargo box at the time of purchase. Or, I...
