It is weird that I can't seem to find a thread with only homemade accessories/mods on the NC700 forums. Some people are incredibly handy in making things themselves, and I'm stoked to see your own DIY creations.
I'll start:
I didn't have any cash in hand to get a rear hugger or a shocktube to protect the rear shock. I then looked at this topic from 2013 and saw some DIY fender extensions.
I thought I'll make one myself from a flower pot, and it did come out nicely:
It doesn't rub on anything and is mounted securely using double sided tape and 2 zip ties.
And since I'm already snipping that flower pot, I also got some hose clamps (diameter 43-80mm) and cut some fork seal protectors. They keep bugs and dust from getting on the dust seals. Sure they cost 8€ on the NC700 shop, but this is much more cost effective.
In the same photo you can see I've made a mesh radiator protector. The mesh is from a trashcan I bought in a discount store for around 1€.
Those were the remains of the trashcan, because I already made one for my previous bike.
It actually does fit nicely, but it's sharp on the corners.
Total costs of these mods: around 5€ (flower pot: 1,50€, trashcan: 1€, 2 hose clamps: 2€, pack of zip ties: 0,50€)
Well, if you have some homemade accessories/mods that you want to show off, then this is the thread you're looking for!
