Light dragging is normal. And the term dragging may be too much. If you spin the wheel .. ie bike lifted.. yiu will hear a light rub. Likely never hear it riding. if yiu can feel the rub/drag or the sound is really obvious riding, I’d suspect an issue. fouled pads. Dirt around piston...

As long as it goes steady after a few flashes it’s legal. Modules on Amazon are inexpensive and easy to hide. I left the bikes brake light alone and added a red led light bar to the rack. I have this one on the flasher

At your height I’d say you are on the wrong bike. Harley touring frame all the way. Road king and up. way more comfortable ride. Suspension is great, seat awesome. I like the NC mainly for the frunk and MPG. as a city and errand runner it’s great. for highway the ergos are not the best...

On hitting deer - buddy and I riding. He hit a dear on his roadking with windshield. He had a quality cycle jacket with all the back shoulder and elbow armour. Gloves boots. We were going about 5o km/hr. His wife on back. Sudden stop he went forward with his wife’s mass as well. broke all...

thought I liked the orange best .... but this pic ... maybe lighting??? seems to have a perl effect. both are really nice

Not to put too fine a point on it , but if you mostly commute city traffic and expressways - there's not much call for manual shifting. for me, I have 3 different main rural routes and 4 sub-routes to get to a highway to the city, or other rural roads. Living in the sticks on twisty backroads...

better autobody supply shops have a device that will 'scope' and analyze your paint to determine a formula for them to mix. They can also make small amounts and put it in a rattle can for you. The nozzles on those cans are way better than hardware store spray paints. All the work is in the...

whatever the fuse is rated for. I believe 7.5A you could push it to 10 with a different fuse if its intermittent use, eg a horn. Of course warranty, safety ... yadda yadda. If you are putting a heavy duty horn on, you are better off running a fused 14awg lead off the battery, and switch with...

the hellas are a wee bit larger and there are 2, so double the surface area radiating sound. To my ear they were certainly louder. I was working on the bike right next to the house, and testing with the sound in close quarters, the twin hellas were a lot louder.Like ear protection loud in that...

used original horn mount tab with the included tabs

same only you did a nicer job on the jumper assy. I used split loom.

When I bought, the frunk was the selling point. DCT was a novelty, but ive come to appreciate it. However I do a lot of manual shifting. I make generous use of the downshift paddle, esp as most roads around my place are twisty county roads. Find the paddle shifting response to be crisper and...

For long rides ... long means days? or hours? 2 up tourer its the wrong bike. couple hours - no problem. Also depends a lot on the passenger and her tolerance to pillions in general. Lot of larger bikes not any better. Proper touring machine for touring though. if you cant afford new...

update - I got the Honda ones. Original weights come off, but they have replacement weights with an added machined bit to accept the guard leg. Also came with longer weight screws - BUT mine didnt have enough thread and wouldnt screw in far enough to secure the guard and new weights...

re honda hand guards, they should have replaced the stock weights with new ones that have a machined bit to accomodate the the fitting of the guards. If anything the new ones may be a bit heavier than stock. My bars dont vibrate differently than before the hand guards. Dealer would have...

As a rule I never get these, and haven't been disappointed. My son however, seems to fall for them - but has made out like a bandit. I can't explain the difference,. My rationale is they do the math and like the big casinos, odds are with the house. Of course one can win in a casino, but...

cruise control, better front brakes, better seat if it's not red - well it'll be slower we all know ;)

Re rider wear materials - Attended a great BMW presentation re their gear and materials. Textile, codura - look for codura 800. Thats the melt-point. Most gear is cordura-400 Not even all BMWs textile gear is 800. Leather, full grain hide. Inexpensive leather abrades as quick as denim...

Just noticed request for done photo on bike. added pics 7 and 8. click on the pics link in the original post

HaHa .. nobody has accused me of being skinny :) Guess I should have added I'm about 250 Lbs and the additional filler is holding up good for me,
