New and need info on what you guys cover.

Hi,
Joined up after seeing what a great site you have here.
I need some help in sourcing stuff but it seems that most of you are riding the X or DCT.
The only model sold in AUS is the S (with ABS as standard and not an extra cost add on), but the S is a bit different with only a little screen so I don't know just what will fit it. e.g. could I fit the normal X screen.(which I hope to buy from someone fitting a larger screen to their bike)
The S doesnt have a rear rack on but in BIKEPRO's "Fuel tank for NC" on page 1 in the pics it shows a long rack which the dealers here don't have. I want to avoid the OEM Honda rack if it means hacking at the panels. Since i want to get one of BP's tanks, a rack just like his is the answer.
So in short, are there any S riders here ?

Thanks

Wellcome from the antipodas

To start with, you can have a look here: http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-general-discussion/2936-what-best-online-sources-nc700x-accessories.html

A good source for you could be WebIke Japan: Motorcycle Parts & Accessories from Japan - Webike But be aware some members here have bought stuff there but got the installation instructions in japanese. Anyway, the installation instructions for all Honda accesories (in english) is somewhere in this forum as well

Twisted Throttle has the Givi mounts (and many other case mounts) that don't require cutting and they have a bunch of stuff listed for the S model there as well

The S isn't sold here unfortunately. I know there are people who would really like to get one here. I'm a big fan of the X but the S is so similar I'm sure I would like it too.

I don't believe it is. The X model is it for US... no toolkit either.

I was desperately trying to get an S. Mainly because it was in black, and the X was only in silver here. ( at the time ) Now I have a black X....lol

Welcome... and if you search for backrest, there are some great threads on here. I just recently purchased one manufactured by a member on the forum.... and it's the best looking one I've seen so far...

Thanks guys,
OK so no S's in the US.

No j f I'm not looking for a backrest but a rack to put soft bags on. The honda OEM one necessitates cutting the side panels
which some have said is not such a difficult job,. I want to see what else is out there before opting for the honda one.

I have learnt that the S seat is lower by 30mm than the X so this model would have interested a lot of short a's and women
( in the US) and with ABS as standard it's a winner.

I'll probably end up getting a rack fab'd up because the pillion seat (and pegs) has to be removed to get seat single seat registration in Queensland. With only a 14l tank, I'm going to have to strap on a 12 litre j/can, to do any Outback trips.
Unfortunately HONDABIKEPRO says he's now not doing tanks. Wah wah.
