Took a last minute road trip this weekend to the NRA 500 Sprint Cup Race in Fort Worth. It was myself and a buddy of mine on his FJR. We scored tickets the night before (half price frontstretch tickets!!) we left rather than be at the mercy of scalpers at the track. Our Route: Packed...

In the market for a new helmet to replace my aging Scorpion Exo 700 I looked at several lids by a few different makers. A few things I was looking for was better ventilation, an integral flip down tinted inner visor, and a matte finish. I looked and tried on the Scoprion EXO1000 and 500, HJC...

Looking around for a new lid. Narrowed it down to these three: Scorpion EXO500 or 1100 and the Nolan N85. I'm wanting something with an integral flip down tinted visor so I'm not always switching between my clear and tinted visors (I ride to work in the dark and leave in the blinding sun...

Purchased from Frog Specialties (call and talk to Philippe as it does not show up on their website). Had to wait a bit for the latest batch to come in (he can order black or silver) but once he got it it was shipped same day via Fedex. Installed it in a few minutes during lunch today. Ermax...

Wanted to add LED driving lights for better highway visibility (for OTHERS to see ME) for my morning commute. After looking around at "motorcycle" specific lights I had no desire to drop the kind of money most go for. Most cases seems you are paying for the housing more than anything. Came...

Not really talking about the big ones, The Dragon, Blue Ridge, Ozarks and other popular "motorcycle" roads etc. But just some normal little road that puts a little fun in an otherwise normal ride. Mine is actually split in two because you can take one on the way to the other. One, CR 42, is...

So, aside from my NC700X I have my Victory Cross Country and a Sym Scooter. Well, the NC700 is the first bike I've ever had that has the horn ABOVE THE TURN SIGNAL!!! :confused: WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????? :p During the week I take each bike to work at least once and use the scooter on the...

Arrived today, my MRA screen from Twisted Throttle; Installation is very easy. Remove stock screws and screen. Install new screen using new screws with spacers and washers. Took all of 5 minutes. This main body of the MRA screen is not much taller than the stock screen, but is wider. The...

With the safety recall (or whatever it's called) on the chain (and yes, I am one of the unfortunate RK/RK owners) I got me to wondering...what size is our chain? Although I have a replacement on the way, out of curiosity I looked into aftermarket chains and have no idea what to look for as far...

After learning that the Honda bags required cutting of the tail panels to fit, I decided against buying them. I also have no plans of ever adding a top case and did not want that platform back there as I never intend on using it. I looked at all the options available and settled on the...

Googling for info/articles on the NC700X (and S for that matter) brings up a lot of posts on other bike forums. Their reactions seem to follow this pattern: 1) :mad: No Way!! I would never trade my ____ for that bike! Almost all of these type posts in reaction to the bikes announcement. 2) :o...

Umm....how?? I've owned a number of bikes over the last 20 years or so and have yet to see what I assume is the adjusting mechanism for our rear shock. I'm used to graduated rings that click into preset heights. It's adjustment is not even addressed in the manual, at least not the US...

Came home to find a couple of boxes waiting for me. One was my new levers and the other was my new exhaust can!!! ;) Installation was easy as could be. Two bolts two remove the stocker and two bolts and a spring to install the new one! Not much else to say about installation. It really...

Ordered some adjustable levers from seller 94-racingus. Cost was $46.99 shipped. They were one of the few US sellers with these levers. The majority were asian sellers or Pazzo re-sellers ($179). I had Pazzo levers on my FZ6 and loved the difference in feel they made. You'll hear that a lot...

Posted a couple of thoughts in the welcome forum, but thought I'd expand on those a little more since I was able to take the bike out for a little longer shakedown ride (my ride home from the dealer was in pouring rain :( ). I sole my 2009 FZ6 to pick up the NC700X (which joins my Victory CCT...

Yep, another Texas member. Just sold my 2009 FZ6 today...and got my 2012 NC700X today. Been riding for over twenty years and this bike will be fulfilling the need for an all around commuter/solo touring bike. I've also got a 2011 Victory Cross Country and a 2012 SYM HD200 EVO Scooter. You...
