Yeah that blue is really sweet ! Thanks for the update info on Rally Raid and the cool stuff they will dream up soon...Maybe next year though...The CB500X is turning out to be a very nice bike to modify ! I guess we only get the Silver NC700X ...or ? The changes in body parts and other goodies...

Yeah , thanks for sharing this info ... That laser for alinement is a sweet little gismo... Sprocket Center ... here I come !:cool: Profi CAT laser alignment tool...

The Shinko 705 120/70/17 and 170/60/17 tires are a little buzzy with the tread pattern at low speed... However , they smooth out a little when your zooming around... They sure look cool on the NC700X... I went to a dry lake here in our local desert and had a great time today ...80...

Yes , but I got the 18 inch polished steel oval and the quite insert ... The mellow sound is deep and not too loud....love it.... The carbon pipe is only $ 250 and will sound sweet with the insert in... The shorter mufflers are much louder... Try this well made and great looking pipe...:cool:

Got Lost... Sometimes you just have to get a little lost... I wonder where this dirt road ends up... No map... No GPS... Perfect little adventure bike... It was so quite...not a sound...well just few bees trying to sting me... Got lost lately guys ?? :cool:

Top Secret Trails... I could tell you where this is ... But I can't...because I'm sort of lost... You know sometimes it can be fun... Lost in Space... :confused:

Yes the PR4's have fantastic grip in all conditions...even dirt roads... So my stock Dunlop rear was toast at 1700 miles... The PR4's were $350 and $40 to mount...kinda pricy but worth every penny ..love them. Very nice tire for our sweet handling NC..

I have a funny feeling that my NC700X is going to be a benchmark to judge other bikes by ...from now on... The low Center Of Gravity design is such a game changer for me...they handle so well when riding on the twisty's and dirt roads as well... I just got to test ride a friends KTM 1190...

Delkevic 18 inch stainless oval at 200 bucks sounds sweet and just a little loader than stock...has a tab or place for the center stand... :cool:

Try to spend some time in a empty parking lot and practice the MSF drills they will show you at the class...but on your own with your buddies to watch you and practice emergency braking and swerving... Remember , you go wear your eyes go...have fun with trying to ride as slow as you can with...

Man those 705's are a great looking set of tires...what sizes front and rear did you go with? Cheers Alfred :cool:

Hmmm , it seems that bike bandit shows a 705 120/70/17 as due in soon... So I e mailed Shinko and they said an ETA of July 2015...for a front 705 radial 120/70/17... I can't wait as my Dunlop 609 is toast at 1500 miles...Yikes..

Magic Carpet Ride... Well after commuting on choppy pavement all week ...my new rear Tuono Shock works great...with original spring.. I can say that swapping out the stock rear shock and installing the Aprilia shock that I bought from a member here.. Thanks 2B ... At 160 lbs. and solo...

Well this great little bike is a fun daily commuter...the low center of gravity hides the 480 lbs.... Ok on dirt roads ...needs a rear shock upgrade.....poor valving....soon. I added a few goodies.. Delkevic slip-on pipe...sounds very nice... Seat Concepts gripper seat with soft foam...

Thanks guys for all your welcomes and yes I had a 650 Wee Strom....They are a little top heavy for me now in heavy traffic... My commute every day has some lane splitting...Really scary stuff... And the streets here in the beach area are like a video game where your trying not to get hit and...
