Hi everyone!
I'm new here to this forum and to the NC700X (well, kind of new - I'm going to the dealership now to finish paperwork).
Here's the question (I've searched, but couldn't find a good definitive thought on the subject) -
With the Honda OEM accessories, there is a lot of frame and tupperware modification necessary to install (cutting, trimming, drilling, etc.). Most of the aftermarket stuff, on the other hand, looks as though it's just bolt on with no major or even minor mods.
Is there a consensus among the masses as to whether the OEM stuff is worth the hassle or whether the aftermarket stuff is as good/better?
I'm looking specifically at things like the Givi topcase and side cases and engine protector/light rails. The price of admission for the Givi stuff is actually higher than the OEM, but it looks like the service costs of installation will be considerably lower.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
J.
