Bumping this up. I just traded the NC and my Grom for a CBR650F, going to be a MUCH better bike for my uses. I am selling some parts including these brackets so look for my for sale ad in the section but after I removed them I took a pic next to some rulers so you get an idea what is going on...

Just seeing this now, sorry. Unfortunately the bike is tucked away for the winter off site so getting pics will be a bit difficult. I will see what I can do, but it's more one of those things to now over think, it will make sense as you do it. Mike

Hopefully this doesn't start something but this is where I bought mine from and the kit I bought. Description states several times there is a gel insert and like I mentioned there seemed to be a "dark" area under the foam about the size of their medium gel insert. Whether there is/was or not, I...

It attaches to the rear reflector on the license plate mount. I looked for a few other places and this just seemed to work; I even was able to use the reflector as the mounting bolt. Pipes are galvanized, I need to take a bit of the plating off, prime and repaint it for it to stick well, but...

Here is a pic from the top and from the trip as well. Surprising how well that bike handled with my 64 year old dad, who had never been there before riding the "Mule" was able to keep up with two 40 something year olds riding CBR600RR's. While we weren't going all out by any means, none of...

I know this is really a nothing mod, but I thought that I'd share it anyway because sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference and these mounts really worked great and for the money can't be beat. I bought the NC mid this summer as a one-up tourer to spend some extra time with...

Unit I also bought the Saddleman touring (actually think I was the first to do so) and have around 1500 miles on it so far with 300mi or so of those with a passenger and have heard nothing but praise from the back seat for the seat comfort. She still doesn't like the vibrating foot peg or...

Nice bike, welcome!!!

My dad is 64 and still outrides most guys I know that are my age. His favorite bike to mess around with is his RM250; yeah dad rides a 'crosser all over in the woods of northern Wisconsin. He also puts a ton of miles on his ST1100, DRZ400 and his old CB500T, not to mention whatever bike I come...

Nice!!! Looks like for $758 you get the entire setup: http://www.shadonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=FullSet-NC700 Mike

I'm one of those people who don't believe higher cost means a higher quality and go for things that work and have lasted for me in the long run. However I don't mind paying for something that will in fact last the long haul. There are several "newer" brands that are touting they are the best and...

Flood run was today, one in the spring, one in the summer. Mike

Might want to have yours looked at, I ride mine like I stole it and got the lowest mpg of 60 and best of 75. Yours doesn't seem right if that's all you're getting. Mike

Sad story indeed, we had a beloved program director at one of the radio stations I work at get into a bike accident early spring 4 or 5 years ago and over half the guys who rode, including myself, sold everything (I kept my WR450, though and was going to be off road only) and stop riding. Thing...

Yup, it was a demo weekend there and they had a nice 30 minute loop you could take the bikes on. I rode the 07 once and the 09 twice because I thought maybe I had gotten a beatup test mule and cone to find out wasn't, just how the bike was. Almost took an FJR but I ran outta time because I...

Rode the FZ-07 (and an FZ-09) at a demo ride a few weeks ago, was not impressed. Both great bike with the 09 having the best motor in motorcycling today wrapped in a complete crap chassis and the 07 was only slightly more refined feeling but the motor was pretty weak surprising. The top end on...

Yes. It's not a "sunken gap" as much as two metal items (the alxle and wheel spacer) meeting point and they both have a chamfered edge. I tried to post a pic of the front axle assembly from a parts fiche and can't, but if you click on the link below it might be more clear. Axle is part #3. 2013...

What you are looking at is the axle, which had a machined in step, pushed against the wheel spacers. If it wasn't like this a couple things couldn't happen: 1. You'd never get your wheel between the fork legs, there has to be a gap. And 2. The axle wouldn't be able to be tightened between the...

Take this for what it's worth and know I hear you and hope you stay: If you really fear for your life or safety from this person or someone on a board then tell a mod about it. There are ways of back tracking IP's VERY easily so this "nameless" person will suddenly have a name, address and...

Pismo, any updates? I'm getting more used to my touring version but it still slopes forward slightly so once I get some time I'm planning on jacking up the front of the seat a little bit to see if that helps. Just curious what your thoughts are compared to the Performance version and if the...
