Hi all I am looking to get a new pair of overpants, and would like to take advantage of the zipper attachment on my jacket....but I have no idea how that works. Keep jacket zippered to pants all the time (like a wanna be one piece suit)? Zip up each time you gear up? (How? Reach around...

It?s a windscreen wiper? For your motorbike helmet

Yesterday I rode to work for the first time this season...and I was all alone. Today - with temps hitting around 70 degrees this afternoon, I was joined by 3 other riders. Nice to see the parking lot filling up with other bikes. (yea, I know - my windshield is HUGE. But it does the job -...

Aux LED flood lights -Do these look ok? Ok....I am installing aux LED flood lights to see and be seen better - and bought the Denali Aux Light Mounting Bracket to mount them too. I already had a pair of LED floods that I was going to use on the snowthrowing tractor - but thought - hey, maybe...

For those of you that may recall, I am the owner of probably the biggest Madstad windscreen in the world - when I ordered, I was told that a whopping 24" size would be best for my height - so I ran with it and had it shipped to me. I installed it, and it worked great - except for the glowing...

If you are in or around the Boston area on June 27th/28th - look for the silver NC700X that is part of the Boston Overnight Walk for Suicide Prevention Motorcycle Safety Crew. I am volunteering this year, and my wife and daughter are walking in it. Overnight walk, starts at 7pm at Boston City...

I just installed a 12V / 5V usb combo plug on the handlebars of my NC700X for GPS/phone charging purposes. Problem is, although I am getting 12+v at the source, and 12+v up to where the inline fuse is, I am getting way less voltage at the plugs output.... not even enough to charge the phone at...

I am thinking of getting the PL1111 racks and 1111KIT, as well as the GIVI E22N cases - and while looking at the instructions online ( I don't have the racks yet) - I haven't a clue as to how to install them. Can someone that has these racks take a pic of how and where they mount to the...

I dropped kicked the left directional / tail light off my motorcycle today while saddling up, talk about a sign to not ride until after my back surgery. (sigh....) Swung my leg over (keep in mind, back surgery in two weeks for me, so leg is hurtin') and kicked that sucka right off at the rubber...

On June 23, I go under the knife for lower back surgery (microdisectomy to L2/L3) Expected recovery time anywhere from 2 - 6 weeks. So no riding for me for end of June, all of July, maybe into August as well. No way I tell the surgeon I ride, or he will never clear me for that! Anyone here...

It's official - I now have 100% of the gear needed to ride safely and responsibly. Bought a pair of Alpinestar SMX-5 boots (size 14!) the other day. They fit snug right now, so I will be looking foolish walking around the house with them on to break them in. But I now feel much better...

Hi everyone! It's about that time - time to winterize the NC. Weather is getting too unpredictable to keep her on the road any longer. 60 dgress today, 30's this weekend, darker earlier - you get the idea. So talking with a fellow rider at work, he says he puts his Harley up on a stand...

Saw this post: http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-general-discussion/2758-gps-can-you-see-yours-while-riding-3.html#post38452 And loved where the power outlet was - in the steering stem. What exact power outlet will fit here? Will the one in this post fit...

Would this be possible - to install a Puig windshield (or any other cool looking windshield) using Madstad adjustable brackets? Without re-drilling the new cooler looking windshield that is... I was thinking of the following: Adding a new metal bracket that would span the distance between the...

We have had numerous discussions on what the best functioning windshield is, but what about best looking? My Madstad won't will any beauty contests, so what do you think the best looking windshield on an NC700X is?

Well I did it - painted the bottom part of my Madstad windshield to help eliminate the glowing edges and reflection I was getting - and it didn't work. First off, I used Plasti-Dip because I felt if I screwed up, I could peel it off and be back to normal. Yea, it peels off alright. When I...

For those of you who know, I own probably the largest Madstad windshield in existence - a whooping 24" Sport SD From day one I always felt it was too large. I had it in the lowest position possible, angled back, forward, up, down, me slouching, me sitting ram-rod straight, you name it, I tried...

Just bought some of that 'Never-Wet' stuff, and I was thinking if it would work on the NC's seat? Probably not - I think it will work perfect - if you never sit on it! But once you sit it will probably wear off - yea? Anyone else use Never-Wet? what do you use it on?

I have read posts on here regarding the glowing affect created by the headlight thru the Madstad windshield, and the different ways to reduce this. I rode twice at night with this windshield, and both times it was horrible - the glow and headlight reflection was so bad I almost could not see...

Do you commute to work on your NC700X? I do, and thought it would be fun to post pics of where you park your bike while at work. Is there a special 'motorcycle only' parking space, or do you make your own? Or park in a regular spot withe the cagers? Post your pics. We can see your special...
