I just came off the BRP yesterday at the NC line. Came over from Seneca Rocks WV and did the Skyline Drive from Front Royal to end & camped out with some Canadian brothers in Waynesboro and then did the BRP to Meadows of Dan and stayed at Willville MC only campground (wonder place and people)...

I have the Cogent Dynamics rear shock. It is exceptional & has delivered beyond all my expectations. The handling and comfort changed exponentially. 650 mile days are possible in comfort. I did the Emulators on the front before I found Cogent for the rear.... the combination has been exceptional...

thanks for all the informative replies. It sounds as though everyone is pretty happy with the results. I am primarily looking for a plush ride vs the very harsh ride of the standard NC and also to be more comfortable on the occasional fire road. My NC handles superbly in the mountain roads...

I have just ordered a Cogent rear shock for my 2013 DCT. I have put 7000 miles on the stock shock and cannot endure another mile of it. It is a little more comfortable loaded with luggage on long trips, but unloaded on rough roads it's awful IMO. I changed over the front end suspension to...

I only live 30 minutes from 2 wheels. sounds great to meet some fellow nc'ers!

The Madstad made a huge difference in the comfort level of this bike. It takes a few minutes of riding stopping and adjusting, but then it is set it and forget it. I'm 5 10 and got the advised 20 inch model. it is spot on. The claptrap by the way is very well made and functional.

I live in eastern TN but our daughter lives in Smyrna and get over there quite often on bike. Welcome

welcome from a former V-Strom owner as well........you are flying into a beautiful area of NY for sure. You will enjoy the ride south from there. When you get down to the southern Smokies make sure you ride over the Cherahola Skyway down into Telico which is only a few minutes from I-75 if you...

Thanks for all the great info and personal experience with these bags. In reviewing the cost of the other American made expedition quality bags, I find they are all pricey and near and over the Mosko's pricing. American made stuff is expensive now. I see there is a long thread over on the ADV...

Bamamate: Did you have to mount the 35's pretty high on your racks to clear the stock exhaust? What racks did you use to support the Mosko's? What rear top rack are you using? Like your story of dragging your bike up on the bags. They sure look like tough bags...

Has anyone on here purchased the MOSKO MOTO soft panniers for their NX700x's??? Its apparently a West Coast company who has designed some really neat looking side mount panniers and duffles and also appears to have some very innovative stuff in the pipeline that might interest those of us...

I have owned and traveled extensively on an 07 650DL. It was totally reliable and never let me down. It had a Russel seat, great windshield, center stand, Pelican case luggage. It was very top heavy, and would blow around on the highway, but man what a smooth running and reliable pack mule for...

The NC, especially the DCT model in D mode, produces a low frequency vibration when it is lugging. I noticed yesterday when on a particular road that the engine vibrations initiated a strong sympathetic resonance in the front suspension which wasn't there before the addition of Race Tech Gold...

Sargent with sheepskin. Good shape, firm mitigated by sheepskin, very supportive.............

As a woods rider on conventional dual sport bikes who uses the clutch to modulate traction in uncertain terrain a lot, I find the DCT engages from a stop with almost identical precision as clutch release on a dual sport bike once you learn the technique....which is the most amazing thing about...

I have a new 2013 DC dealer leftover.just done 600 mile service plus a 100mi. Every time I ride this bike I am more impressed. Stuck in traffic on I-24 for an hour and was able to creep along at 0 to 5 mph with no hesitation or jerking motion at al, could stand up like I was dirt biking with no...

heart stopping..... breath taking..... mind boggling prices Hyperpro from Holland seems to be the most touring oriented and price sensible with their "shock in box" marketing and packaging. If the added weight of rear racks and boxes doesn't help soften the ride I'll re-mortgage my house and...

thanks. I will let sleeping dogs lie....and begin the search for a shock replacement... .any suggestions from those who have moved this suspension up the food chain?????

welcome from the Smokies. Rode my DR around the Cabot Trail a couple of years ago. You have a beautiful land up there. Wanna go to Newfoundland ???? I've been there twice in the winter!

I have ordered the Race Tech Emulator kit for the forks of my new 2013 DC. All reports are that this will solve the front end issues on rough roads. The rear shock is also pretty harsh on secondary roads and is incredibly choppy and uncomfortable to someone coming off dual sport bikes with...
