Hello all,
Been wanting to post this since the bike turned 100K and finally got around to it. I'm not the most diligent mechanic but if anyone is interested what a normal dude has done to maintain a commuter bike using the most basic of tools and mechanical knowledge while on a budget, well here it is:
The bike is a 2014 NC700X
parts installed:
Madstad, Barkbusters, Denali lights, center stand, SW motech crash bar, Rox riser, Givi top box, back rest for top box, Honda heated grips, Oxford heated grips, front fender extender, 12V Socket, upper and lower wind deflectors installed
