Good luck with your installation Joe. Your cartridges look quite different to mine - I wonder if they have changed the design? The top metal section is shorter and the spacers look longer. I wonder if this means you won't need to use a spring compressor? Fred

Thanks for your post on this which inspired me to do my own installation of the Andreani cartridge kit. I've also installed a Wilbers 641 replacement rear shock. Links to posts on these here: Front: Andreani Fork Cartridges now fitted - Mechanical Items - The Honda NC Owners Forum...

I have these too. One thing I have noticed is that having set the extensions up for maximum extra width, i.e. pointing at 90 degrees to the direction of travel, they do require more head movement to check. I think I will adjust them to point more forwards, probably about 45 degrees to the...

I had some initial problems posting this. It is now in the NC750X Modifications forum, but also appears here appended to itlive's excellent Shad SH-36 review post, which wasn't my intention. In case anyone hasn't seen this, and is interested in how to improve the positioning on the bike of...

I would suggest that while you are running in (breaking in) the new engine that you use S mode more as this will change down to a lower gear sooner and therefore not put so much strain on the engine by lugging at low revs in high gear. However, you also don't want to use maximum revs while...

Thanks StratTuner! I must admit I was quite pleased with how it turned out, despite not having proper workshop equipment. Fred

Thanks Greg. I think the problem with the Shad system is that it is all designed around their rack mounting arms which fit further out than most other makes and include mounting points for the SH-36 side case mount arms (their 3P system mount). I don't know why the Shad rack arms are so widely...

Continued from above: Here is a picture showing the standard mount on an NC700 (picture used by permission) compared with my modified mounts on my NC750X DCT: Here is a side view showing the panniers about 1" further back compared with the standard mount: Fred

Thanks Andy. I remember we both "bought" the same bike from Grantham Honda at one point! Glad you got an identical one in the end. Difficult to know if we have much in common other than the choice of bike, but maybe we should meet up sometime? I will be going over to Grantham at some...

Side view of modified SHAD mounts: I decided to fit SHAD panniers to my new NC750X DCT, primarily because I prefer the minimalist look of the mounting frames compared with those for the Givi panniers I used on my previous bike (Honda CrossRunner). Apart from long trips I will mostly be...

Hi, My comprehensive post with lots of pictures has still not appeared, hopefully it will soon, but in the meantime here is a picture of my installation compared with yours. I have tried to make my picture as comparable as possible, but I think yours must have been taken with a wider angle...

Yes - on reflection I probably should have posted in NC700 Mods. Never mind, I am sure it will pop up here eventually. I have PM'd one of the moderators just to make sure my post has not disappeared into an unmoderated black hole! Thanks for all the responses. Fred

Yes - done that, but the only new post I see in NC750 Modifications is this one!

The latest post I can see in this forum (NC750 Modifications) is called "Ixil can and centre stand compatibility" and the last contribution to it is dated 4th September 2014 Can anyone see anything more recent? Fred

OK - answered my own question! It is still live but I guess just not very active. Sorry if I woke anybody up! Fred

Tried to post here and my post hasn't yet appeared. It said something about needing to be checked by the moderators which is fair enough as it contained a lot of pictures, but I see that nothing has gone live in here since early September, so I wondered if there is a problem? Posting this...

I have created a post in the NC750X modifications section with some further explanations and a lot of pictures. I can't put the URL to it here as it has not gone live yet - apparently it has to get moderator approval first, perhaps because of the links to external pictures.. Fred

I decided to fit SHAD panniers to my new NC750X DCT, primarily because I prefer the minimalist look of the mounting frames compared with those for the Givi panniers I used on my previous bike (Honda CrossRunner). Apart from long trips I will mostly be riding the bike without the panniers...

I think the reason the locknuts appear to be very tight is that for some reason those on bike mirrors are generally threaded the opposite way to a normal thread. It is very counter-intuitive, but to to loosen them you have to turn them in the opposite direction compared to normal nuts. If you...

Thanks for the permissions Mike. I will get this fully written up with some pictures as soon as possible - assuming the rain stops for long enough to get some decent pictures of course! We had quite a dry warm September with some decent riding weather, but October is looking like it is going...
