With over a foot of snow everywhere and ice, I have serious cabin fever. My stock 2012 nc700x seat is terrible. I've been looking at new seats and all cost as much as a new recliner. Well I went to harbor freight and purchased a $22 air staple gun, floor foam you to stand on, then to jo-ann...

You are right. The $300 MadStad seems like the way to go. I've got about $200 in this. I think shield was $185?

You got the RED one. Fantastic. I have the 2012 in gray and I wanted the red one when it came out. You will love-love-love the bike. I would make a bead seat cover for long trips and you will have to make some windshield mods if doing long trips on freeways. I live in ohio and it gets...

I put a tall cee bailey windshield on my nc700x. Still way too much wind buffeting on my head and neck. I cut two 1/4 inch thick by 2 inch wide strips of aluminum to make extender bracket. I drilled holes to bolt to bottom of bike and remount my shield on the top part of the aluminum strips...

Congratulations! Wow! +16 hours, +1000 miles on 700. The helmet buffeting I get, even with ear plugs, I can't imagine. You are a trooper. :)

welcome skiphunter. Enjoy your nc700x. I've got a 2012 and love it. Learn to shift out of 1st early and you'll be great. I love the comfort, weight, handling, power, and the storage and the mpg is out of this world. I added a cee bailey taller screen, polysport hand guards and a one...

Try to find the extensive article on helmets in cycle world several years back. It was great. They found the cheaper, polymer helmets were better at absorbing vs. the expensive fiberglass models. I think a brand called Z1R was priced very reasonable and handled skull impact test very well...

"The showkey seat mod" Thank you showkey! I'm on a budget and did not want to invest in another seat that might not solve the slope. Your solutions looks great. At home depot/lowes they have thick aluminum bars that will make the bracket as shown perfect. A great idea that fixes the...

To weigh in.... I believe the nc700 is hear to stay. Since 1995 I've had over 10 bikes. All sizes up to 1400cc. I've had a v-strom 1000, interceptors, 1250 Suzuki bandit, bmw 1150rs. I love my nc700X. I love the comfort, handling, weight, tank storage, and I got a nice cee-bailey...

If any can post some PREVENTION ideas to protecting the electrical loom connector, thanks. My bike is new and yes once and while I'll get caught and ride long in the rain on a trip. Any ideas to avoid water ingress appreciated. Thanks

I moved my shield up, and no difference. A waste of my time, but I tried. Have a taller shield coming. Going with least costly Puig at $109. let's see where that goes. good riding...

Today March 23 in Ohio the weather was 52 F and sunny. 3 to 4 inches of snow expected Sunday Monday. I rode my nc700x 60 miles there and back, on back roads to a strange food store called Jungle Jims. They have a great cigar selection. I picked up a starbucks and smoked a cigar outside...

Welcome Down Under from Ohio USA. Great Bike. I picked up a NC700x in February and got out a couple days when the weather was over 45 degrees F. What is the brand of the adjustable hand levers you purchased. I have the same problem with stock levers. I really enjoy my 700 and I know you...

great install and great rack. thank you for sharing. You are a brave man cutting your plastic. No way for me. I ordered the givi as I'm not cutting a brand new bike.

I sold my 2004 BMW r1150rs. I've had two beemers and a punch of motorbikes from Japan. The beemer was heavy, not sure footed on sweeps of damp roads. It was terrible at slow speeds and in parking lots. I've had a Vstrom 1000 and liked the riding position and when I got nc700x... WOW...

Installed slim line Polisport hand protectors. Caution when ordering, make sure you order plastic and hardware, as you have to order both and make sure you have the right clamp size . Off amazon they mailed me the larger 28.6 MM (1.13 inch) instead of the 22 MM (+ or - 7/8 inch). Verify...

Thank you. When I have great travel shots or different mods. I'll post. Feedback appreciated.

Sorry for this dumb question. I see members that post photo's about trips or modifications. When I tried to post a photo, it keeps telling me it's too big. Also some you offer a link to a photo library. Can you provide some best practices to do this. thank you!:)

Tony.....................A low cost idea that worked for me driving 9 hours on a VFR 800 to VIR superbike races, that I will use on my nc700x. I went to Walmart and purchased a wood bead seat cover for $9. I cut in half to make fit my bike seat. then I painted black and tied to seat with...

Welcome KevinMC.................. I wish you the best on your nc700x. I love mine and wish I found a bike like this years ago. Keep us posted on travels!
