    Best Polycarbonate Windshield

    You should really also ask about what Oil and Tires people use and why.... :snickers: :o :rolleyes: Having had several "naked" type bikes with various windscreens over the years you really just have to try them which is expensive and dumb. But your experience will greatly vary from others...

    Where stands your "fear line"?

    I'll put down hard parts before I reach the edge of the tire so... I guess that means I'm going as far as I can.

    Center stand stop

    I put on an "Akrapovic" Ali-Express can and had the same issue. I just got some flat stock 1" steel from Home-Depot Motorsports and made a stop. Put a 90° bend in and bolted it to the OEM luggage mount hold on the passenger foot peg with an 2nd piece in the 2nd hole to stabilize it. Paint it...

    HELP! Front Fender - remove replace?

    Yeah, I can never quite get it off with the tire still on. Easy enough to just take the wheel off.

    RaceTech Gold Valve Emulators and Springs...

    Yeah I kept the stock spacer so I got an extra 1/2 preload. You can always go back and cut it with out even having to drop the forks. I did Blue springs, 2 Turns...? It's hard to actually determine that... and 15 wt Maxima oil. You can just take the rubber out of a Sparkplug socket and put...

    Cannot stop buying jackets.

    I have several jackets and most I don't wear anymore.... It's a case of I wish I know then what I know now... I should have just bought an Aerostich in the beginning as I've probably spent more on multiple things over the years. I keep telling myself to save up for one but then end up buying...

    RaceTech Gold Valve Emulators and Springs...

    So my friend and I kept going back and forth on this misunderstanding of holes. There are 2 places where you end up drilling. 1. is in the damper rod itself. This should be 6, 1/4" holes per the instructions you linked. This MUST be done. 2. is in the compression damping plate of the valve...

    RaceTech Gold Valve Emulators and Springs...

    Thanks 670cc. What settings on the valves are you guys using? It looks like most of you are running Blue Spring w/2 turns of preload and 4 holes...? Also, I was thinking of just keeping the space the same before cutting them. See if the 1/2" of preload makes a difference on the fork spring...

    RaceTech Gold Valve Emulators and Springs...

    Going to try to revive this old thread as I just got a set of Gold Valves. Many of the pictures are bad links now. QQ Do you need to pull the stanchions and bushings or can you get the damper rod out and valve in with them in place? Looking at the manual it seems the stanchions do not need to...

    NC700X - Does it Matter What Year to Buy?

    I have a 14. Got it new last year for about $5k out the door after stealership fees and tax, title, etc. I think the '16 and later look better but couldn't beat that new old stock price. To answer the original question there is little deference between years other than the 2016 refresh. No...

    Alternate Handlebars

    How did they get the FatBar on? Did they make an adapter to the 1-1/8" clamp area or put on an new triple tree?

    Alternate Handlebars

    Wondering if anyone has used any aftermarket bars and how it's worked out. I have been using the BikeMaster Risers. I just put a set of ProTaper SE ATV Mid bars on. I like that they're wider but I had to use all the Riser spacers to get them as high as the standard ones were with just one...

    Suggestions for new tires?

    I thought the stock Dunlops were garbage. No grip wet or dry, on road or off. Rear only lasted 1300 miles. Went with the Skinko 705 good on the dry and on gravel, lose in wet pavement. Was thinking about the Avon Trailrider. Went with Dunlop Road Smart 3s for an upcoming road trip. I've been a...

    Re-upholstering OEM NC700xd seat.

    I did the Seat Concepts and it's great! $175 if you install it yourself. I did it with the $30 Harbor Freight air stapler. Flatter and more supportive than then stock seat. Also a little taller which I like because I'm tall and need a little more seat to peg room.

    Brake bleeder

    bit of an old thread but Motorcycle-Superstore/JPCycle now lists these at the fitment for NC700x but they're 10mm... Russell Metric Speed Bleeders Manufacturer Part Number R40529 J&P Part: ZZ24454 Motorcycle superstore is a lot worse since they got bought by JP... Termite, do you know what...

    Suggestions for new tires?

    RumRunner, I was wondering if you had an update on the TrailRiders after you've put a season on them. I'm thinking about getting them. I'm torn between them and just a straight ST tire. Stock Dunlops were terrible. Rear only lasted 1300mi. I went to Shinko 705's after that. Pretty good but the...

    Tires that fit the NC700

    Opinions please. I'm torn between the TKC-70 and Avon Trail Rider. I have Shinko 705 s on right now. The rear is wearing pretty quick and the wet pavement traction is terrible. Maybe it's just the way I ride but this bike burns though rears. The stock Dunlop (terrible) only lasted...

    whizzing sound after new chain n sprockets change

    Check alignment, i.e. that the tire/axle is square. Also check the tension and make sure the chain is not too tight.
