I did buy one, but after looking at the instructions and having trouble figuring out how to open up the turn signal switch on the bike (2012, manual shift), I decided to hold off installation. I’m guessing the turn signal switch on the bike has been sealed to keep it waterproof, so it’s hard to...

I went from a 1990 PC800 to a 2012 NC700X and have enjoyed the change. The NC is about 100 lbs lighter than the PC, so its easier to push in and out of parking places and the PC was needing a new clutch when I traded it in. I also wanted a bike that I could take on unpaved roads and still ride...

I went with the SW Motech ION 2 Tank bag that uses a bolt on “Ring” to secure the bag. (The ring is usually for going around a gas cap on a average motor cycle, but I just drilled some holes thru the Frank and bolted in on.) . Easy on and Easy Off, But VERY secure with no straps when...

I have a SW Motech Skid Plate that covers the underside of my bike. The three plastic parts are gone and I get some protection too. (Not as much protection as Dales Heavy duty skid plate, but much better than stock.)

You could try the SW-Motech “Quick Lock” system. They make a “Bolt on, Tank ring” that is intended to mount on a regular bike’s fuel filler cap. But you can just drill thru the “Frunk lid” to mount the lower ring. An upper ring mounts under the tank bag and “Locks Down” on the lower ring for a...

I removed my cover so my Shoei Neotech XL helmet would fit. And it does.....

I've had good luck with the reasonability priced mondomotos MM10 Led lights. The MM10 model is no longer available, but they do have very similar new styles. I went with the switch mounted on the handlebars and wired through the Honda accessory harness, so the lights shutdown when the key is...

I'm looking for a more off road capable tire than my current Shinko 705's (80% on-road, 20% off-road) The Shinko 700's are listed as 60% on-road, 40% off-road, but they don't have sizes that work for the NC700. I know there are many NC riders who run the 705 and like that tire a lot and I'm...

I would like to see a lower 1st gear. At idle rpm's, I'm going at 7 miles per hour, that's fine for the street, but a little too fast for sneaking around some off road trails.

I waited until it was time to install a new front tire to install my fork gators. The front wheel hand to come off anyway, so that may be a good time to do the job. I did have to fuss with getting the fender in place with the gators, but the do look great once their on the bike. Good luck.

I also went from a PC800 to an Nc700X. The PC800 was a fun bike and I really liked the extra storage trunk out back. But after my 10 years on that bike (it was a 1990) I wanted something a little lighter to push around when parking and something that would handle unpaved roads a little better. I...

I just installed a SW-Motech Skid plate on my manual shift bike and it looks great. I did have to grind a little (Less than 1/8") for my Honda center stand to clear. Maybe the SW-Motech center stand fits fine, but the Honda stand needs a little more room. It's not a big deal and it shouldn't...

Thanks for the ideas. It's still winter up here in Maine with over 2 feet on snow on the ground, so I'm looking for a good way to check my fender clearance while the bike is in the shop. I think I'll first try Maxwellian's suggestion for checking the clearance and if there is a problem, I'd like...

I'll be installing a Shinko 705 (130/80-17) on the front of my bike and wanted to know how to check the fender clearance. I do have the SW-Motech engine guard installed and plan to rase the fender for extra tire clearance. Other postings on the NC700 forum tell me that I may have a problem with...
