Do you have a link for where you bought those?

Rockymountainatv.com part # 1274820002, cost 20.99. Direct bolt up, took me like 10 minutes to install. Bike feels much nicer form now.

Bike came with a givi rack

Strapped my new Airhawk to the seat. (Planning a good long ride tomorrow). Checked the oil and coolant. Pulled the lower cowl off to try and clean it better. It was the first time I've removed one of the panels.
I also 'borrowed' some red metal valve caps from my son's bmx that he doesn't use. They look much better on my NC than they did on his.
Finally, I realised I do have a NC700SA when I learned the "A" refers to ABS.

Finally got my side cases rack installed! Looking for a pair of Silver color GIVI trekker cases, 33 or 46L are both good. Help me out if some one has a lead!


Still have 2 for sale here: http://nc700-forum.com/forum/bikes-...kappa-130-shipping-post148631.html#post148631



These are two 52L top cases.

I "installed" a voltmeter/thermometer on the NC dash today. It simply plugs into a cig lighter outlet. This was a quick and easy solution versus wiring in a permanent thermometer. I doubt this unit is any bit waterproof, but it would be easy to pull off and toss in the frunk. The 12 volt outlet was already there, and rarely used for anything else.

It reads the temperature from a sensor on a short, stiff wire on it's bottom side.

Cost was $12 (US). When shopping for one, be aware that most are reading out in *C (as well they should) and none seem to be selectable between *C and *F. Mine reads *F and it came from Amazon.

I bet you have a disposable rubber glove that you could bring with you to slip over the digital display unit. Just a helpful suggestion.

 

[Therapy]

Saran Wrap and a wire Twisti.

 

[Rooster]

Took off 705's. Replaced with TKC 80/ 805 combo.

So was back in the warehouse, move the NC to the corner and must have set the side stand on a slick spot, because no more than 10 seconds after I turned around...BOOM. Bike was on its side.

Good thing the cases and engine guard did their jobs, I guess.

Finally ordered a new set of tires and a new chain, plus all the tools to do the work myself!

The "What did you not want to do to/with your NC700 today" thread is just down the hall, on your left.

Funny how much all those tools end up costing.

Rode to work in 27F, no heated clothing. I did find some old hand warmers in a drawer and put those under my silk glove liners, worked well. I might just have to buy some more of those and ride more often. That and the madstad is great!!!

My commute is 22 minutes, 20 of those at 70mph.

Can not do that at my age, many of the metal joints would have frozen up!

Pulled the wheels off last night and today took them and new tires to the dealer for mounting. Tonight put the wheels back on with new Bridgestone T30 Evos.

The OEM Dunlops went 5,745 miles with maybe a few hundred miles left on them. Not bad considering the rear tire when new measured just 5/32" tread depth. The Evos start at 5/32" front and 8/32" rear.

 

[cyclegeo]

Installed Madstad, Givi engine guards, Givi bag mounts, v35 bags, and luggage rack with backrest.
Will post pictures when I figure out how. Center stand , hand guards and heated grips on the way.
Went for a ride to adjust my shield height and angle. I can't get over how much fun this thing is to ride
for a supposedly dull slow bike.

Heh heh, It was probably me that has worn the grooves in the floor on the way there and back, so many times... Doh!

These are great tires, I have a set on NaNCy now. I was a firm believer in the Bridgestone BT023s, however they were discontinued. I was guided to the T30s and I was not disappointed with them. I am sure that you will not be either...
