Purchased a CL500 in August and have put 3000 miles on it so far. It is a fantastic bike and gets nearly as good gas mileage as my NC700. I’ve added engine guards, fender extender, luggage rack, top case and tall seat. It really hit a sweet spot for me, enough power yet still fairly light yet...

Don't have a pic but i got a killer deal on a leftover 2014 CB1100 two years ago and love it but still have my second NC and my DR650

I got some adjustable pegs from slingshot racing.net. As I recall they were about $100 and you they had them in several colors.

A less expensive option in adjustable pegs can be found at slingshotracing.net. They have several colors to choose from as well.

My mistake.

I've had a corbin, sargent, and seat concepts on two different NCs. I found the seat concepts to be the most comfortable for me.

I had the seat concepts on my original NC and now have a Sargent seat on my current one. I preferred the seat concepts but now added an Airhawk which increased my comfort considerably as well as raising me a little higher for more legroom.

I did 350 miles yesterday with the slope mod and a new Airhawk. The difference is phenomenal and still much less pricey than a new seat.

Nothing today but tomorrow I hope to install the Powerbronze hugger, a luggage rack, and my topcase.

I agree, I have Distanzias on my DR650 and I find they do very well on gravel, when it's time to replace the stockers, I'm going to get something a bit more aggressive.

I landed on a pile of stones and the bike hit me on the way down as well.

I don't know, it was much the same as yours, I was going into a corner and hit pea stone and mud that wasn't visible until I was well into the corner. It was wide enough to cause loss of traction with both tires so I slid off the road, down a 15 - 20 foot bank, landed on a pile of stones that a...

I was able to take the new one out this past Sunday, did a nice 350 mile loop around Vt and NH. I even stopped at my crash site so the new bike could see where I killed it's older brother (and almost myself as well):)

Bike was delivered yesterday, I put some slingshot adjustable footpegs on it like I had on the original wrecked NC, and I hope to do the seat mod tonight or tomorrow. I should have measured last night so I could have picked up a bracket on the way home. I hope to take it out for it's maiden...

Well, I'm back in the NC fold, I put a down payment on a black one today. I hope this one lasts more than four months!:rolleyes:
