New member here from Colorado's front range. I've been interested in the NC since they first came out and just took delivery on an irresistible deal of a left-over 2015. Normally I'd never buy "new" but when new is cheaper than used it becomes a pretty compelling option.
The bike is a rough replacement for my recently-sold ST1300 and joins an '05 KLR and a 250 Nighthawk in the garage.
Honda center-stand is on the way. Next I need to figure out the best way to mount a top case, extend the handlebars a bit and improve the seat situation. Everything else can wait.
Anybody know where SHAD top case mounting plates can be purchased by themselves? The KLR has an SH-45 mounted and I could just swap it between bikes if I could find the mounting plate by itself. Already checked Ebay with no luck.
Also I've done a little searching to find the best way to get a workable rack on the NC, with not a great deal of luck. The rack would be used *only* as a mount for the top case. Would the factory rack (plastic?) be as good an option as others? Any thoughts on the various options would be appreciated.
I've done a fair amount of reading and this looks like a great forum. Hello to all!
