I tried riding in to work yesterday with a couple of inches of snow on the ground and some that was still falling, but only made it a few blocks before I realized that I would never make it over the large hill on the way. Riding, turning and stopping was OK as long as I was smooth, but on even...

OK, I bought the Cycle Hill tire changer and the roll-on mount for it (the receiver hitch mount is apparently no longer available). I have a couple of rear tires (TKC80 and Mitas MC60) on the way to me now. I have never changed a motorcycle tire before. What other tools/supplies do I need in...

My original tires wore out quicker than I expected (I had hoped to get another 3-4,000 miles out of them), and I need to replace the rear, so I will do both at the same time. I have been looking at the K60 rear, TKC80 front combo for a while and was planning on going with that combo, but have...

Ever since installation, I have noticed that my left Honda heated grip is not as warm as my right grip. It hasn't been much of an issue until this morning, when my left hand's fingertips were painfully cold while my right hand was fine. During most of my ride in to work, I couldn't feel any...

Well, it's been cold enough in the mornings lately that I finally put on my Giant Loop moto Bushwhackers handguards. They are a thin piece of plastic that goes over the Barkbusters and dramatically cuts down the amount of wind and rain that reach your hands. The Barkbusters alone weren't quite...

I ask because I have had this mount for about a year and it has worked great holding my Samsung Galaxy Mega in Otterbox Defender case until around a month ago. Since then, I have had it pop out of the mount at least three times when I hit sharp bumps on the road. Only my reflexes have saved my...

I have done my share of traveling, but have managed to avoid needing to secure my gear on the bike when it's raining and all of the luggage is full. Now, ordinarily, I can secure 2 helmets on the underseat helmet hook and use a cable to snake through the jacket sleeves and trouser legs to...

So I have the Kaoko throttle lock installed and it's been working fine for months now. I just tried to install my Barkbusters with it and I don't have a bolt long enough to go through the barkbusters and throttle lock. I even went to many hardware stores looking for one that will fit and found...

I am trying to find out if it is possible to mount a Givi V52 top box on the Honda NC700x top box mount. Is there an adapter that can be purchased? I would like the extra room on trips, but the V52 is bigger than I want for commuting. Thanks.

I am ready to order a Kaoko Throttle lock for my NC700x, but I'm not sure which one to order from Twisted Throttle. They show two listed. One is for use without Barkbusters, the other is for use with Barkbusters. I don't want to add the Barkbusters yet, but I will later on. Do I order the...

I posted previously to get an idea of passing power, now that I purchased mine, I figured I should make a proper introduction. I have been riding for about 9 years so far. I spent 1 or 2 years on a Suzuki GZ250, then replaced it with a Honda ST1100 which my wife and I took several longer...

I hope nobody minds me asking, but what are the purchase prices you all paid for your motorcycles and accessories? MSRP or lower? What about freight, setup or other fees? I'm hoping to purchase a fully farkled non-DCT tomorrow and don't want to pay any more than I have to. Thanks, Tom

Hi, all. I'm very interested in the NC700x, but haven't yet ridden one. I am hoping to get a test-ride tomorrow and make a purchase decision. I have searched the forum, but didn't see replies that really match my questions. My commute is half windy mountain highway and half Interstate (~35...
