    Intro--Getting back to riding after 20+ years, the NC fits me--.

    I'm 6'0" and the bike fits me well. Once I started riding more than an hour in a stretch I got bar risers and extended pegs, my back and legs are much happier. You'll probably be good tooling around town, but I'd recommend the same parts if you plan on longer rides.

    Best 2020 Headlight for 2012 NC700x?

    I installed an Auxbeam H4 Eagle on my bike. I have a few different LED bulbs and fog lights across my vehicles and am happy with all of them. The Eagle doesn't have any box to strap down like most LED or HID setups, it drops in like installing any other halogen bulb.

    Evitek G6 H4 LED headlight bulb installation

    I just dropped an Auxbeam Eagle H4 bulb in my bike. It attracted me because there is no ballast to tuck away. I already had the best halogen bulb I could find, so this isn't leaps and bounds better than what I already had, but still noticeably better. It is leaps and bounds over the cheap bulb...

    Climbing on

    I'm 200lbs (ish), or 90.5kg, with gear on. I'll give it a go. Thanks!

    Climbing on

    When I did a BMW demo day I was kicking the side cases as I got off and on the bike. The rep taught me a trick of mounting the bike like a horse. Left foot on the peg, squeeze the front brake, throw your leg over. Do the opposite order to get off. It made a world of difference and I've done it...

    How do you winterize your NC?

    I just ride everyday. Most days my commute is only 10 minutes each day. Then I do a 5 hour round trip at least 3 times a month. I only park the bike when ice and snow seems imminent. Couple times last year I checked the weather at home and work, forgot that my long commute took me over a hill...

    Winter Gloves?

    I have a pair Dianese that I'm pretty happy with. With heated grips I ride year round, right down to 0* and plenty of rain in the PNW. I had Scorpion the year before, but they had a time limit on how long they were water proof. RevIt came in a close second for my choices, but I was able to get...

    Bikes you "lust" after but probably will never buy?

    The new 2020 Harley Lowrider. I wanted the 2016, but prices for a 3 year old bike are the same as this one will be new. I want it, but won't commute on it so the NC will have to stay. It doesn't make sense to own 3 project cars and two motorcycles...but I won't give up a car for the bike.

    Front Brake Caliper Upgrade - Part Numbers?

    I watched ebay for a few months and was able to scoop up a like new caliper for $33 shipped. It took more time to bleed the line than swapping the caliper. It certainly stops faster. A couple people asked in another group if you could use the factory bracket, but you can't. the one that come...

    Question about jacking up the bike for chain maintenance

    Another vote for centerstand. Makes quick work of changing the rear tire too.

    Auxiliary Light Idea. Feedback?

    Auxbeam has pretty good "bang for the buck" reviews, so I went with them. I was impressed enough with the quality that I bought another (larger) pair to use as fog lights on my truck. I have them mounted on the bottom side of the Denali bracket and aimed to match up with the headlight. I wanted...

    Ural Motorcycle with a sidecar! WOW but YIKES

    When I was first shopping bikes I looked at the Ural, since I take a kid with me quite often. The top speed (and the price point) had me looking at other bikes right away. I see way too much freeway to be okay with 70mph with the rev limiter pegged. Other than that I think it would still be...

    sag adjustment

    I'm trying to buy the adjuster wrenches. While everything online says the wrenches are universal I found a couple that say they don't work with the NC. Any ideas what to type into Amazon to get wrenches that will work for us?

    how to connect auxiliary light to fuse box?

    To add to the conversation I'm adding fog lights for the first time. After reading this I ordered the sub harness, do I need the relay set too? Also, anyone know the name of the connector on the sub harness? I need to grab a few to hook up the light harness and my heated grips.

    Comfortable dry riding boots, what do you like and why?

    I bought a pair of Rev-it boots, but returned them after I found they were so stiff I couldn't feel anything my feet were doing. After that I went and bought another pair of Danner patrol boots with Goretex. Then for the summer I wear a pair of Vans high tops.

    Rear Wheel Spray

    I have a top box that gets sprayed on the bottom side, but I've never had any on my back. My legs stay pretty dry from the back wheel (I still get it from the road), but when I have my kid riding with me his legs get pretty wet.

    What's in your Frunk?

    I keep my satchel (or man purse if you prefer) in there. That bag has a first aid kit, edc pouch, wallet, keys, sun glasses, etc. I have a top box to keep my helmet (helmet doesn't fit in the frunk anyway) and work gear in.

    Center stand stop

    That had crossed my mind That fits my level of fab skills, looks like I have an excuse to hit Lowes.

    Center stand stop

    I installed a Danmoto exhaust, so now I have nothing to stop my center stand. So far I'e found 2 options, Overracing and Yoshimura. I'm not crazy about the Overracing as it's a bare bolt hitting the stand. I think the Yoshimura option is out, as it likely only works with their exhaust. Any other...

    Saddlebag and Topcase Shopping - Have a Few Questions

    I have the Givi v56 top box and will eventually get V35 side cases. I went this route because of the price vs capacity. The Honda bags just didn't offer enough space for me. My son is begging for the backrest pad for the top case.
