    SOLD: Rox Risers

    SOLD 2” Rox risers for sale. They were installed on Wiley (my 2012 NCX), but I pulled them off and they’ve been sitting in a cabinet for a couple years. They need to go. $75 shipped within the lower 48, or make me an offer if you think that’s too high.

    GONE: Factory seats from my 2012 NC700X

    THIS ITEM IS GONE. $75 plus freight. The driver's cover (only) has been off and put back on as I tried to decide whether to re-shape and re-foam it or get a whole other seat. I chose a whole other seat. This has been sitting in a box for years. It's time for it to go. Located near Phoenix.

    Factory fork springs & spacers

    Factory progressive-rate fork springs & spacers from my 2012. I replaced the fork springs years ago. These springs probably have 5 - 8,000 miles on them. How about $20 for the springs & spacers? These items are located in southern AZ. I don’t expect shipping to be too high, but haven’t checked.

    Rear wheel bearings?

    Got home from a multi-day ride yesterday. Lots of fun and lots of miles and smiles! As I pushed the bike into its parking place (about 90 seconds, maybe 2 minutes tops, after pulling in and shutting down), I heard a strange noise from the rear wheel area. It was a kind of moaning squeal...

    What’s a K1600GTL like?

    I’m looking for a motorcycle my wife would be more comfortable on than the NC. I’m pretty sure she’d be comfy on a Goldwing. I’m generally not satisfied with the ergos on the ones I’ve sat on in showrooms. A used K16 is no more, maybe less, than a GW. What are they like on the road, especially...

    Anyone ridden a Moto Guzzi V85TT?

    They’ve looked very interesting to me since they were announced. I’ve never sat on one or even seen one in person, let alone ridden one. The only MG I’ve ever ridden was one of the 1400s a few years ago. Don’t recall offhand whether it was the Eldorado or California or what, but I think those...

    I'm away from my FSM. What's code 86?

    I'm getting an intermittent CEL/MIL. Haven't been able to replicate any particular operating condition to cause it at will. Today I was able to stop and put the kickstand down to read the code from the CEL/MIL (If I power off then re-start, it's gone). Code is 86. I'm away from my FSM this...

    Heading to Advanced Rider course tomorrow

    It's been longer than I'd realized, so I decided to go to a 1-day advanced rider training by way of a refresher. My riding partner is taking the class, too. I haven't taken this particular course before. Have any of you? I was largely off the bike for a while, but have been commuting on it...

    Who has worn out & replaces their brake rotors?

    I’m about to put my third set of pads on (OE plus two replacements, including the ones I’m about to put on). I have 48k miles on the bike, having essentially not ridden for most of the past 2 or more years. I haven’t measured the thickness of my rotors. If I take the bike tomorrow, and if I...

    Anyone tried Continental Road Attack 3?

    Read a couple good things about them, but haven't seen a review of them here. Anyone run them before?

    Any DOT 4 LV users here?

    I have a big bottle of Pentosin DOT 4 LV to flush the brakes on my pickup. Figured I'd use it on the bike, too. Anyone else here used the LV stuff in their NCX? Any differences or anomalies to report, vs. 'regular' DOT 4?

    List it with the luggage, or without?

    I think it may be time to list the NC for sale. I'm not commuting on it any more, nor do I ride for fun in the heat. Would you expect to get more, as a seller, by listing everything, or by selling things like the factory luggage separately?

    What happened? Lights out (dash)

    Started the bike this AM to come to work (I leave in the dark), and everything was fine. Within 1 - 200 yards, the dash light went out. The display was still working, but the backlight was not. Arrived at work, shut the bike off, turned the key back on after several seconds, and the dash lit...

    I bought a new motorcycle

    I bought a new bike the other day. Spur of the moment, and a real bargain. It's a '96 V45/VF750 Magna. Bright yellow, needs a little Mechanical TLC, but beautiful condition and very low miles. I suppose it'll either be a fix-and-flip, or if my wife and like it enough, perhaps it'll stay around.

    Should I expect/need to service susp bearings if I replace the shock at >40k?

    It's cooled off this week, back to ~100F, so I'm thinking about all the things I would normally do over the winter when the weather's nice. I've also been planning a long ride or two that my wife wants to come along for, which has me contemplating rear suspension. I have Gold Valves up front...

    Dealer has a VFR1200X

    Stopped by the Honda shop today, and lo and behold, they had a VFR1200X! (That's the American-market designation for the Crosstour, for those across the pond) Manual shift. It was a very nice-feeling bike. They still have the R1200RT I sat on a couple weeks ago, too. The Viffer put the...

    Is a '13 R1200RT air cooled, or water? What should one be aware of on a used one?

    I was at the dealer the other day picking up a new footpeg (Death Valley wrecked mine), and they have a decent-looking '13 RT there. It _appears_ to be fairly well equipped, but I know absolutely nothing of BMWs, so maybe there's a bunch of stuff I _thought_ was on it that isn't actually there...

    Homemade pillion backrest

    My wife wants to ride with me more, but also really wants a backrest. So, yesterday evening we went to the folks' house and made one. Parts list: -- 1 old SAAB 9000 headrest -- 1 piece of 2" flat iron (steel), about 2 feet long -- 1 or 2 pins or bolts (w/nuts), depending upon whether...

    Anyone bought one of Bell's custom-fit helmets?

    For at least a couple-few years now, Bell has offered a custom-fit option for their Star helmet. I didn't actually realize they were still doing it, but I was talking to the Bell rep at the motorcycle show (IMS) here in Phoenix over the weekend, and he said they're still doing it. I have a...
