I have taken the MSF course and I highly recommend it. In addition, I highly recommend the book Proficient Motorcycling. I feel this book should be mandatory reading for all new riders and it is also a really good refresher (set of reminders) for experienced riders so they don't mistakenly think...

I use a Contour ROAM2 waterproof camera. It works great! Here's a link to read more about it... Amazon.com: Contour ROAM2 Waterproof Video Camera (Blue): Camera & Photo

The new C3 "Pro" mode for 2013 fits my head just fine, very comfortable. I know there have been many complaints on the web about the fit of the prior C3 version. I recently wore my C3 Pro for 8 hours straight as I rode up the California coastline. Relative to using the Bluetooth feature, I...

Welcome from sunny Southern California. I love my NC too and feel it is simply the perfect bike!

I use the new Schuberth C3 Pro helmet which is modular. From my research, this is the lightest and quietest modular helmet model available...also the most expensive...OUCH! I also bought the fully integrated Bluetooth collar which works incredibly well. I call people going 70MPH on the freeway...

According to the BMS website, Bill Mayer Saddles | Online Store | Bill Mayer Saddles a dual custom seat is $639...that's what I paid because I was able to ride into their store (I only live 20mi from their shop). I believe they charge another $42 to do a mail order, but check out their website...

Welcome from sunny Southern California. Love my NC, I think you will too!

Here's a pic of my Bill Mayer Saddle.

Sounds great guys. Lets move our conversation over to the California Riders Group discussion area of this forum and work out the details. A discussion has already started about this there... Looking forward to it!

Sounds great!

I live in Newbury Park, CA (near Thousand Oaks) and I am part of the California group. We should schedule a group ride soon! Jon

They had to disassemble various parts on the bike to get down deep enough within the frunk area to install the necessary sub harness. I thought it would only take an hour or so for the insall, so I decided to wait...big tactical error/waste of time!...there were a lot of parts taken off and...

I went with the Honda 12V accessory - 2012 NC700X Accessories - Honda Genuine Accessories - Honda Powersports. However, the dealer I went to for installation botched the install and ruined the sub harness in the process...so it has yet to work for me. They are going to fix it for me, but since...

I wear Bohn armor pants under my jeans every time I ride, and I also wear the bohn armor shirt under a light jacket when it is warm. Having just had a minor low-side crash a couple of weeks ago, I now know first hand the importance and benefit of this type of protection. Because of these pants...
