I cut some aluminum bracket for six 2" pieces and drilled holes raising the mounts. If you zoom in on the pic you can see it.

I had the Shinko rear and only got 6k out of it. This time I went with Michelin Commanders II rear: 160/70/17 $169 and front 130/80/17 $130. Supposed to last a long time (MICHELIN Commander II - Tires On-road | MICHELIN - Motorcycle - United States - Motorcycle-website). I had to raise the...

9" Delkevic. Cheap (Amazon), ships to CA (most dont), lightweight, perfect sound and has the rest for the honda center stand. Not the best photo but you see its on the center stand and it has the 9" Delk exhaust. Camping on the bike this week at Giant Rock.

Mich Commander II: 160/70/17 rear, 130/80/17 front. Had to raise the front fender and not sure if I had to regear but went from 43 to 47 sprocket. Much nicer ride for get up and go but still has enough top end. Bike "feels" more sure footed with the bigger tires, the sidestand is a little...

Amazon.com: Honda NC700X 9" Oval Carbon Fiber Muffler Delkevic US KIT03B7: Automotive I have the 9" Carbon from Amazon $233. I have the <whatever makes it quieter insert> inserted and its burbly but I wouldnt describe it as loud. Its quieter then my other bike with a Akro<something>. The...

Interestingly enough, I had bought a replacement bike and after logging 7000 miles on it the past few months, I have decided to keep both. I was going to sell the NC700X and had paid it off and was waiting for the title. Its tough to describe, but the low CG, frunk and how I have it setup with...

Bought replacement for nc last week due to no abs (with manual). Locked brakes twice and called it quits, bought ktm 1199 adv r with great abs and traction control. Big difference, need abs for my commute. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

50k for a clutch sounds awesome to me! I've been using that same acetevo oil for the life of my NC so we'll see how long my clutch lasts.

I think you are thinking the right items. For the items you mentioned, what I chose are: Large panniers: Givi Trekker Outbacks. Started with just top case Trekker and then changed it to an outback (52) and two sides (3x something). Really like them. I take them on and off (side) all the...

wish there was a version without the neck protection so that a rider could wear the airbag vest for rib protection and a leatt neck brace together.

the side panniers (outbacks) open with the 58l outback top case, there is enough play in the lids to open and close fine.

givi sells a fuel tank that mounts to the back of the outback side panniers but you have to order from italy, they dont sell it in the states. expensive for what it is but well implemented. I stole another posters idea for mounting two tool tubes within the side racks for 2 liters more fuel...

The top case mount for the Givi Trekkers is the same for the Givi Trekkers Outback (I've had both topcases). The side mounts ARE DIFFERENT for the trekker vs the outbacks. FYI To be honest, I dont think the NC is the best looking bike, I bought it for how it fits for reliability, maintenance...

my rack also arrived and I bolted it up today. wow, great product! thanks!
