    Sold my NC yesterday...

    It’s been fun... been a great 3 years with the bike but time to move on. Maybe an FJR or a BMW RT... maybe even a cruiser? We’ll see what the future brings. Thanks to everyone for the advice and conversation over the past 3 years. Be safe!

    When parking your bike.... Bars to the left, or right?

    You see... I am an anti-lockxser. I don't believe in inlockuations. My bike has never been stolen, so why should I inlockxuate?

    shopping for rear luggage rack

    I have the Givi stuff... the FZ1111 arms and Givi E251 universal rack. The universal rack is a nice flat area to tie down stuff too... same idea, slightly cheaper but a different look than the SW Motech. One thing I like about the universal plate is that you can mount it forward or back a few...

    Windshield choices

    Don't discount the MadStad on price - if it is the right one for your needs and makes the ride more enjoyable then it should be the one you get. I have a MadStad. I also had the Givi. The Madstad is orderable in any height you need and is very adjustable. I think it is absolutely worth...

    Thought I would share, thrilled withthe results

    How did you connect them to the bike? Straight to battery or do you have a accessory outlet, etc?

    Frame sliders or guards for rear end of bike?

    Are there any frame sliders or guards that protect the rear of the bike, particularly the muffler? I am thinking of doing an advanced riding course and practicing my slow speed riding and want some extra protection. I currently have Givi engine bars on the front. This would be for very slow...

    2014 NC700X ABS Stays On

    Mine has an official sticker inside the frunk with the odometer replacement notice and the previous mileage that must be added to the current one (Ontario, Canada - if that matters). I am pretty sure that the purchase paperwork/licencing/etc didn't have anything about that - just the total...

    Honda CBR F4i rear shock?

    Someone on one of the NC Facebook forums posted about replacing the rear shock with a shock for a old CBR F4i. No mods needed, direct replacement. Another user commented that they did it too. They are pretty cheap on Ebay and may be a relatively good mod for not too much money. Anyone...

    Handlebar and Mod Setup

    I see that you have a MadStad and wanted to point out what I did to mount my phone... Info here: Affordable Motorcycle GPS options - Looking for input This gets the phone up off your handlebar and more into your line-of-sight. For my garage door opener I mounted a small button on my...

    Added a Stereo System. :)

    I always listen to music or audiobooks whether on the bike or in the car. I use a Sena 20s. Most of the time I use the built in speakers - they even work pretty well with my earplugs. For longer rides I have a use a set of in-ear earbuds that do a great job as earplugs and plug them into the...

    What's in your Frunk?

    Just curious... how do you plan to power your compressor? I carry one with me too and recently found out the the honda accessory outlet's fuse can't handle a compressor (not sure if this is true or not). So specifically for this (and as an always-on outlet option) I ended up buying one of...

    Summer Mesh Coat

    I have an Alpinestars Cape Town Air Drystar. Got it for a great clearance price (~$160 CAD). It has a Drystar (same as Gore Tex) layer and a fleece warm layer. It's a great jacket, especially for the price I got it. It fits small, so order a size up. This one is discontinued. There is a...

    "correct" tyre pressure

    Inspired by 1wiseguy2's post, I bought a TPMS too... and turned out to be the same one. I mounted it down on my engine bars to minimize theft/damage. It is good for a quick check before a ride. It has exactly the same measurement as my gauge. It turns off after a couple minutes and boots...

    Trans-Labrador Highway

    I am sooooo jealous. That route is high on my list of trips to do. I am planning a trip to from Ontario to Nova Scotia next year (I am from Dartmouth and have family there, so it would be the ultimate destination) and keep thinking I'd love to go the long way around. Who knows, maybe I will...

    Risers

    Adding to an old existing thread rather than creating yet another one for handlebar risers. I just wanted to tell everyone about the risers I bought and installed and am extremely happy with. I researched quite a bit and very happily found these. Seriously, if you are in the market for...

    Honda top case + Panniers + Guitar?

    I've seen some creative mounting solutions but in the end I would suggest just using a backpack case - something that has a chest strap. I've riden with one but it was only my little washburn travel guitar and easy strapped to my top case rack. This looks interesting... BackAxe – Guitar case...
