    Interesting. In the US, some vehicles have front turn signals (amber color) that are on all the time the headlights are on. My US model '04 Concours came that way from the factory. Many cars that have red rear turns are the same way (on all the itme headlights are on). Cars and bikes...

    NC700XD - Repair Manual

    Sign up here (same for Honda cars and motorcycles for American Honda, not sure what is available for other countries): https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/user_profile.asp I don't have an NC but my experence with other Honda MC's is that you can download Owner's Manuals, not service manuals HTH

    Interesting, I'd never heard about that technicality in the UK. Just as a matter of curiosity, do you know if that's the case in the EU at large?

    Tow a UniGo trailer with an NC700x?

    Hi, Happy! I'm OK with your personal and considered opinion until "most bikers" and "sorry". Personally, I try to avoid "most..." and "best..." statements regarding most everything. There's just too much variety and personal taste in play to apply those terms in most cases, IMHO. And...

    "Conspicuity" is the watchword when referring to "being seen" on a motorcycle. Click here to read a short article on the topic. I’ve read other ‘studies’ suggesting that the inverted “V” pattern of front lights is most effective for motorcycle front-conspicuity. I’m also a huge fan of...

    Tow a UniGo trailer with an NC700x?

    Very nice, Cyclerosis, thanks for sharing those pics. Yes, the Pelican-type (mine area actually SKB brand, available from SKB with deterrent locks in the closing latch unlike Pelican) cases are very good, IMHO. Caribou was the inspiration for my kit but I ended-up fabricating my own...

    Tow a UniGo trailer with an NC700x?

    Thanks for your insights. Yeah, I've read that the seat is a no-go and would require replacement to cover any distance at all. I've been spoiled by the Russell Day Long seat made for me on the Connie. At the moment, the local Honda dealer and I are at an impasse .... he doesn't have a...

    Tow a UniGo trailer with an NC700x?

    Neat Connies, 'Mr Budd', first and second gen, you must have liked 'em [thumbsup] What'ya think, would a Connie pilot be disappointed with an NC as a downsize? You may have noticed my second gen C-10 has upgraded front brakes .... GSXR 4-pots on 320mm EBC's. The NC does Not lend to...

    Tow a UniGo trailer with an NC700x?

    There's horror stories of all kinds out there. Also many cases of high miles 'without a hitch' (pardon the pun). A rig that won't travel at legal posted speeds (frequently 75 on interstates; 80 on a tollway I frequently travel) is useless to me. The highest legal speed in TX is a tollway...

    NC700x vs CB500X

    Go back and read any of the full tests of the NC in the motorcycling press. Honda intentionally designed a unique (for now) bike with ECONOMY as the primary goal, ease of riding as an introductory bike for new riders as the second (long-flat torque curve). Economy is measured in terms of both...

    Best heated jacket liners, gloves and apparels

    I'm a satisfied Warm-N-Safe customer, jacket liner and gloves. Still happy after two full winter seasons, I've used 'em down to about 30F under a Roadcrafter suit with only a thin long-sleeved cotton T-shirt between the heated liner and my skin. The heated gear really reduces fatigue and...

    Aerostich: ok who has these? Opinions please?

    Here's a pic of my 1-piece Roadcrafter. Bought it in '01, still going strong. I recently bought a set of zip-together Dianese mesh gear to try for the over 100degree days. Sure, a bit cooler than the Roadcrafter, but I feel really naked and unprotected in it. The Roadcrafter vents pretty...

    Looking for a different helmet

    BTW, as far a 'low-cost' helmets and limited 5-year life ... I've been a motorcyclist for 40+ years and view that as a normal cost of the extraordinary joy of riding. But then, I buy soft-compound tires and gladly replace 'em often because all-weather traction is more important than high...

    Looking for a different helmet

    Greg - I'm not so on board with you as far as the helmet mfr part of your comments ... I can understand their focus being on the development of helmet structure and features and leaving the very different and costly development of foam/hardshell chemistry to folks like DuPont, etc that have the...

    Looking for a different helmet

    +100 PLEASE buy your helmet where you can try different models/brands/sizes for fit. As mentioned in another post, many Arai dealers will take the time to help you get the proper fit and they offer models for different head shapes. Too many folks get helmets that are too loose and therefore...

    OEM accessory installation instructions?

    It'd be informative and interesting if the instruction sheets for installing the various genuine Honda accessories could be posted on this site with a sticky list pointing to those. Surely some of the buyers of those items can scan 'em to PDF and offer to the forum. I don't think that'd...
