At the pump, didn't see a drop off. Actually was 1mpg better than normal. But that is likely just the mix of miles I put on it.

Maybe look at the Yoshimura R77? Here's my post with a video for the sound: http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-mods/3715-yoshimura-r77-slip-pipe.html

After about 120 miles on it, I am really liking it. The power seems a bit better in the higher revs. When in traffic, if I slow down into the mid-high 50s while still in 6th gear, the bike isn't as gruff when I roll on some throttle. I hit a canyon with it, and it's helpful for knowing when to...

I have been thinking about this too. I like the screaming banshee. But I don't want something that big, or involved to install. Two questions: What's the model number you have? Can it be spun to point straight down, without any mods? Thanks!

I just put this pipe on my NC (OEM was badly bruised in an accident). If you are considering the R77, here are a couple videos that might help determine if you like the sound. OEM Pipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL3yaB3H98o Yoshimura R77 Slip On (without the low noise baffle)...

I like inconspicuous. The RI D2s are nice too, for their crazy brightness. Those are my favorite two so far. I need to dig around some more and see the mounting hardware for the RI D2s. If they don't require a bracket to clamp style mount, I like them. Thanks to everybody.

I'm in the market for some semi-obnoxious riding lights to mount on my crash bars (H&B). The primary purpose would be increasing my visibility. But I don't want to make the bike look wonky to accomplish this. Likes? Dislikes? Got pictures? I'm hoping to find some that are black, small...

And my new helmet: dayglow yellow, with a gold tinted shield. It's highly visible. And the obnoxious driving lights are coming after the repair.

The final total on the estimate was $4635. The picture is from a camera phone, pretty poor resolution. The other side bounced off of the guy's truck. The pipe was smashed, tire marks, and scratches where my boot drug across while I exited. Just for reference, the parts that comprise the foot...

I didn't use my last bike as a commuter. But gas prices have gotten so high, my tow vehicle was a real wallet drain at the pump every week. Switching over to the NC700X saves me about 3 gallons of gas per day. @$4+ per gallon, that adds up quick.

Some yahoo decided to jump out of traffic, over the double double yellow lines, into the carpool lane where I was riding. I couldn't avoid him and we collided. I was maybe doing 50ish when he hit. My going faster than him pulled the handlebars to the right into his truck bed, which caused the...

I contacted the importers of the Hepco & Becker crash bars. I also sent them this photo, to show what's happening. Unless Honda did a design change after the bars were designed, I don't know how you miss that. I hope I get back a decent response. It looks like I will have to reroute the brake...

I put the Hepco and Becker crash bars on my NC this past weekend. Has anybody else had a problem with the front brake line bracket on the triple clamps hitting the front crash bar mounting bracket, keeping it from turning full left? I am going to have to monkey with the brake line's bracket to...

Anxiously awaiting a review.

I believe the place is called Ken & Joe's Honda (Ken & Joe's Honda Kawasaki - Santa Clarita, CA). I am expecting to pay more than what you did with a coupon. How might I get my hands on one of these coupons? That would be MOST appreciated.

If you don't mind me asking, what did Honda of NoHo charge for the service? The 8000 mile service, right? I bought my bike there. But there's a shop in the Santa Clarita area that would be easier for me to use, if the costs are the same.

Thanks lamlamz. Maybe it's the picture of your bike that I saw, where they coexisted. I already have a company on the line to see about powder coating them to match the silver on the bike. The silver looks way better than the black, IMHO. :cool:

Maybe I got the wrong LED light for the brake. It wasn't as bright as the stock incandescent bulb. So I ditched it. Brightest is best, in my book. Edit: Oops, I see the additional LED light where the reflector used to be. My bad... Interesting. Recent farkels; Cigarette lighter adapter in...

May I change the subject for a minute? I am checking out your silver crash bars. Are those Hepco & Becker crash bars? They look like them. Every other picture of crash bars I have seen, they are black. I am really liking the silver! They look very tight to the sides, like my upper wind...

Love the roller throttle in that VW fuel system video. I miss my baja bug. :(
