Sold my NC a while back. My Dad has a 2012 NC, purchased new, the rear looses 2 -3 lbs a week since new. I think he has around 20K on it now.

Don't be afraid to run the Air hawk backwards. I find it gives more surface area to spread the load.

I just found this post… This is standard operating procedure (SOP) for Goldwing 1800 owners. The Goldwing's do not disconnect the battery.

Hmmm, I am not the only one. I'm pretty good about putting all the stuff on. It might not be ASAP when I get the stuff, but I get it installed.

Wishes for a speedy FULL recovery.

There are some great pictures in this thread.

Learn by doing. I was 15 1/2. My first bike was a well abused 1966 Bridgestone 90 Sport, the fast one. I think I paid $115 for it. The aluminum cylinder Sport was oil injected and rated @ 9HP as best as i can remember. It could wax my buddies Honda CT 90. It had all that "extra" two stroke...

If anyone were to build one… I guess Yamaha would be the most likely. I love the idea of a light weight shaft drive. I avoided chain drive street bikes for years, in favor of shaft drives. I prefer a belt drive over the chain drive any day. Light weight, clean, durable, with minimal...
