Phil, I bought a CTX sidestand on ebay for my lowered NC. It seems to work fine. I did also make a little aluminum plate that I bolted to the bottom of the stand for a little larger footprint. Dean

If I'm in sport mode and want to cruise in 6th gear, I simply click the upshift trigger. If the bike speed is at or above 55 mph, it will shift into 6th.

AMEN! I'd vote for this as well.

Here's what I did with my rubber valve stems until my next tire change: Couple of zip ties hold the valve stem in its upright position. Deano

Specifically, I'd be interested in upgrading my 2015 to the 2016 PGM-FI unit, to get the extra DCT shift modes. Anyone attempted this upgrade? Deano

I lowered mine a little over an inch. Then i bought a CTX700 side stand on eBay to replace the stock NC700 side stand. The CTX700 stand is a little shorter and seems to give mine about the right amount of lean. Dean

Has anyone tried to direct swap a 2016 combo meter onto an older NC, say a 2015? And if so, do all the functions work as they would on a 2016? Deano

I first installed my Madstad system according to the included instructions, went for a ride. It was certainly better than the stock screen, but still had a little buffeting. So i decided to try flipping the winglets upside down to block the air coming up around my head. Success! With the...

I used my Suzuki GS450TX. The day of my testing appointment, the clouds let loose and poured rain most of the day. I said the heck with it and drove the 20 miles to the testing site anyway. Of the 12 scheduled, only two of us showed up. We took the test in the middle of a downpour, and passed...
