2016: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

[sumo]

...I dropped a 3/4" ratchet off my work bench it weighs 4 or 5 pounds and when it hit the peg on my motorcycle it didn't even slow down just snapped it right off...

LOL! Good thing it didn't land on your foot.

Must have been a defect in the peg to snap off like that.

Cast aluminum is very brittle.

Pegs worked fine before I dropped that ratchet on one. Shock load must have been to much. Just glad it didn't hit the motor

That peg didn't stand a chance.

I comfortably zoomed down this road at 100 km/h and felt in complete control. Last year on my scooter I simply could not travel these roads, I did try but it was hell.

Rode my NCX for the first after getting home from the Hillbilly Hangout, man the roads in Kansas are straight!

I understand what you're saying. When I get back to Illinois from a trip, I question why I even own motorcycles and live here. The roads are straight, flat, and rough.

I guess I own motorcycles here just so I can ride them back to the good roads in Arkansas and North Carolina.

Did about 250 miles today. Found some hills, gravel and a hotdog stand that plays Nat King Cole and Elvis.

There is a yellow NC 700x in an article in this month's AMA magazine. One of our inmates?

I think that's Tom Mehren,he's the owner of Sound Rider.He also writes books about riding in the PNW and puts on the Sasquatch Dual Sport Tour every year.

Installed flasherM1 module today. Pretty extensive as far as options go. Can really tailor to your liking.

Installed 12V power outlet and dual usb 1A/2.1A outlet. Bought as one unit off amazon (see LBS post above for link) removed the "plate", used the marked position for OEM 12V (on backside of frunk) for the usb and eyeballed the 12V below it. Wrapped all up in elec. tape to keep it black (wired to OEM sub-harness).

Looks good I was just looking at getting one. No problem wiring it to harness? I know the harness is supposed to be wired for one amp. Did you change the fuse they came with? Or just run it as is?

 

[rippin209]

I was thinking of ordering a set of these and wiring them up to the high beam. Not great with electrical, what all would I need? Any recommendations

I just added those to my bike, I wired directly to blue wire (hot, switch to high beams) and green wire on the oem aux. wire harness. Hard to go wrong with $18 lights.


I bought the Denali light bar from twisted throttle. They are very bright. I could not imagine spending $300 for the Denali after seeing these. However, we shall see how they "endure".

they look like you can unscrew the lens and add some clear silicon around the edge to improve the moisture resistance. That was the only complaint I heard of. Easy fix for a great deal

 

[Nortwestrider]

I have had several CREE LED lights and been very satisfied with them.

[rippin209]

The CREE part is just the LED everything else is made and assembled by someone else. CREE is now the maker of about 80% of LEDs sold even when their called something else if you take it apart and check them out their actually CREE. They are a good brand when the fail it's usually because of the parts around the LED not the LED itself. That's what you pay more for a better housing, better switch and connections.

OEM relay kit and sub-harness is 7.5A so plenty of room for load.
