FWIW, I have 17,000 on my PR4s and expect to get another 3000 on them before replacing them. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I have the PR4s on a heavier NT700V and commute in the Seattle area. So far, I have 17,000 miles on them and they look good for another 3000. Traction in the rain has been good. Chris Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

While I upgraded my horn on one of my previous bikes, I haven't on the others. Surprisingly, even though everyone on that particular forum feels the horn is wimpy...when I've used mine, even though I can't hear it much...the other driver reacts. I think it is because the horn is pointed down...

I was thinking more of Seahawks versus 49ers... Chris

I'll carry at least 2 if not the three the others mention. Wearing Gerbing heated gloves helps a lot and cuts down one set. I can adjust them from no heat to full on. That gets me from the 50's down into the 20's. But I always carry two sets of gloves, and often a glove liner in case I'm...

If you want to explore doing this, try the Rounder's forum. Great group of guys and gals who ride all year long. Some have explored extremes that will make you roll your eyes. Like the riders who install studs in their tires each year and ride daily in snow and ice. Chris

Just a bit of a fact check here. The video on the first page stated one important fact. The Ride-On had been inside the tire for a year. When I used Slime, I found the same thing on the tire where the Slime had been in the tire for a year. It congealed in the tread area and wasn't a mess at...

You might also be interested in the ADVMonster.com Model 30 lights. I've used them now for about 45,000 miles with no issues at all. They are a 10 degree spot light...tight enough that I use them with no issues in freeway traffic at night in the rain when the pavement seems to suck up all the...

I would wait till August, or at the minimum, late July. A member from another forum made a cross-country trip in May from New Jersey to Washington State. He did a lot of miles to get here, but saw nothing but rain and fog here. The disappointment on his face when he had to leave finally, was...

I also have the Olympia AST2 jacket. I love it. It is easily the best jacket I've owned. With that said, I'd also look at the Bilt Explorer line. My thought is to look at a high end jacket and look to see what you like and don't like. Then look at the Bilt Explorer jackets and see if they...

I've thought about the TomTom Rider also. One thing that I thought was poor, was that it had no traffic. Not that I use the traffic feature on my current GPS often, but it bothers me to spend more money and get less just because it says it is made for a "motorcycle''. l like a previous posters...

I covered the speaker hole with black duct tape. I've also made a sunshade (rainshade?) that makes the screen more readible in bright sunlight, but helps keep light rain from hitting the GPS face. It attaches with velcro to the GPS. The velcro covers any holes on the sides. All in all, the GPS...

Like the others have said, go on vacation and don't worry about it. You can probably even do without the battery charger. (If you don't get the right charger, you can mess up your battery.) l live just south of you and have never worried about it. Seattle gets plenty of moisture too. Here's a...

I have tried plugs and Slime both. In some cases they worked. On other cases, they didn't. One thing to remember, is to check your tires frequently. In other words, don't assume the tire repair is good and get an unpleasant surprise later. Chris

I bought a new 2011 NT7O0V in May 2013 for $6995. It has 16,000 miles on it now. I love it. I hope you enjoy yours as much. l' m not saying this isn't a great forum, but if you are looking for an NT7OOV forum, try NT-Owners.com. lt is hard to beat the full fairing, adjustable windshield...

I look at hp on motorcycles and how much you "need" in respect to the cars I've owned. My second car was a 66 VW Beetle. It had a 1300 cc engine that put out @50 hp. (Today, many motorcycles have engines that large or larger.) I got it up to 87 mph once on a slight downhill stretch. I was...

I went the same route that many of you did. More income and more realization of how I really don't want to rough it any more than I have to led to better and better gear. Two winters ago, I sprung for some Gerbing heated gloves. I liked them so much, I sprung for the heated jacket liner last...

There are some excellent suggestions already. The North Cascades Highway is a must. If you have time when you go around Mt. Rainier, a wonderful side trip is Tipsoo Lake on the east side. Park the bike and take your camera as you make your way around the trail. It will come out to a view of Mt...

I came across this a couple years ago and bookmarked it. I find myself following these same "rules". You can find these rules on a few websites, but here's where I found this particular one. Motorcycle Etiquette: How Not To Wave Like A Dork! I chuckle when I read how most posters on a...

I wanted to wait till the first year's warranty was almost over, There was always the chance that I would wreck the bike, it get stolen, etc. But I didn't want to wait too long. I haven't bought the extended warranty for any other bikes, but with the NT being discontinued, perhaps parts prices...
