Hello all, Been wanting to post this since the bike turned 100K and finally got around to it. I'm not the most diligent mechanic but if anyone is interested what a normal dude has done to maintain a commuter bike using the most basic of tools and mechanical knowledge while on a budget, well...

Thank you. I'm going to use that bit of wisdom.

Good to know. I saw a video where a gentlemen stuck a long tool to unbolt the bottom portion. I did notice the bottom bolt but figured I needed to unbolt both to disassemble. Good to know.

Thanks. Might need to do a completed dissassemble next time. Just didn't have the appropriate tool to extract the inside.

Just make sure you get the proper year. Different thickness.

Today I was replacing the seal on the non-brake side of the fork and also the oil on both and when I went back to put everything together I shaked the fork and noticed a sound on one of the forks as if something loose in there. I only noticed it on one of them for I had already filled the other...

Do you have heated grips? Have they dislodged at all? Are they in their correct position? ...had a similar situation.

After much experimentation I settled on an angle but I'm not completely convinced it's the absolute optimal. What is everyone's preferred angle? Also I've found that most of my buffeting came from the sides and under the the windshield. If I could do it over again I would order a wider and...

Welcome to the forum. I'm in Monterey county myself. Instead of having panniers I chose to ride with only a top box for relaxed filtering.

And I will! But it will be the CB1000R+, the first bike I ever test rode after having a Rebel 250 for 6 months. It was exhilarating but the looks of the bike never could convince me...but now! That thing is calling me. So you guys say Honda monitors forums?...it would be nice if the NC had...

2014 had a faulty dash. There was a recall.

I do what kumatae does but with a 2x4.

Wow I wish I could say the same thing about my Silverado. I had to replace the engine and major suspension parts at 100k. My '14 NC has 50k miles and I feel confident putting another 50k.

Yes they come apart and if I recall one of those bits has reverse threads.
