Apart from the black ones.

Sorry I started this, just an observation and sharing that, not stating this as a norm or constant, if anything I filled the tank over what was originally used. Next time I'll just keep it to myself.

this was a mistake

I am constantly asked what it is, being black it doesn't look like the silver or red ones but I do get the "I've heard of those" from even Harley riders.

This was posted by mistake, will not do it again.

If I was setting up for more aggressive off roading this is the tyre I'd choose. And a skid plate + engine bars.

"Unfit for off roading"? Youtube is full of guys with significant off roading rides of factory stock bikes. I have 55 years in the saddle and find the NC near on perfect in every way as every vehicle is a compromise. Get to know your bike better, just ride it.

That's motorcyclism.

wow, first thing to do, drop the forks as a unit, install gaitors.

Those will work but it is only an hours job to install real gaiters. , pull the front wheel and caliper drop the foks as a unit slide on the gaiters and it's done. The add a bit of detail to the front. Bonneville ones work.

That is the tool for the Highlands alright. When I lived in the UK I did some touring in Scotland, what a dynamic land. ,...........except for the weather that's why I relocated to Daytona beach. I miss Haggis in the morning with my eggs.

Don't know where you are located but the NC is not high on the stolen bike list if it even makes it on one. They didn't sell well there are plenty of 1-3 year old new ones sitting on show room floors . A good lock chain and floor anchor is best, up to you.

I bought one, works well but you must take your time to line up the masher in the centre of the pin. To remove the chain I just use an angle grinder.
