    Wiring a replacement turn signal

    The right turn signal's wiring on my 2014 NC-700X has three wires, which I identify as Green, Blue, and Blue/White Stripe (I word it this way because I'm not sure of what the factory calls these colors). A few years ago I dropped the bike and installed (among a fair number of other things) a...

    NC700X replacement battery... AGM?

    After being away for 3 months, I charged the 2014 NC's (original) battery (at least the Sears charger "charged" light was steady), started the bike and rode 10 miles, then stopped for gas. Click-click, black screen... My jump battery was relaxing at home, where I wished I was, but a friend...

    Damage to handlebar end

    After my 2014's 2020-Thanksgiving Day encounter with a deer (https://www.nc700-forum.com/threads/deer-damage.18171/) I keep finding more previously unnoticed damage. Trying to salvage the right (as one is seated on the bike) Givi handguard, I found the 6mm screw provided with the handguard...

    Deer damage

    Thanksgiving Day, the 2014 NC and I were heading home on a semi-rural two-lane road at about 45 mph when a group (herd?) of about 10 deer suddenly blasted into the road from right-side trees. There was absolutely nothing I could do. I remember a blur of white and brown, then lying on the road's...

    Suddenly, ads...

    Probably not the right place for this, really a computer question, but when I decided to look at my own post of a few days ago earlier this morning, this came up: Does someone know what's going on, and how to stop it? I tried closing and restarting Firefox to no effect. Looks like some kind of...

    The PGM-FI "malfunction indicator lamp"

    On yesterday's Skyline Drive ride (I posted a brief report in the "What Did You Do Today" thread), when I fired up the 2014 NC after a lunch stop this warning light did not go out. After riding around the parking area a little it stayed on, so I parked it again to look more closely. Wiggling the...

    Turn signal replacement's short stud

    Turn signals are a bit vulnerable. This tale might be useful to someone. After damaging my 2014's right front turn signal, I ordered a Chinese replacement, something like $19 for a pair. Pretty much identical to stock Honda, except for the (photo) shorter mounting stud. The broken original is...

    Bar end -- what do I need?

    After my first accident I'm repairing the 2014 NC-700X. Not much damage; I must have slowed considerably from the 70 I last remember from the speedometer before spilling. Turn signal, footpeg, front brake lever, and this bar end. I think I can get that broken bolt out, and will eventually...

    NC700X... or BMW or Gold Wing for serious touring?

    Perhaps this belongs in the non-700 area, but it's primarily about the 700X so I'll start it here. My 2014 NC-700X, purchased "new" in 2016, is my return to motorcycling after a near-50-year absence. Earlier this summer I rode from Maryland to Alaska, with camping and motels about 50/50; 16...

    Tourmaster neck strap?

    I have a Tourmaster Synergy 2 vest liner with collar that works great. But it came with a strap, about 26" long and 1.5" wide, with velcro at the ends. How is it used?

    Can't see in rain

    Left Baltimore Thursday headed for AK but rain and heavy mist here in Marathon ON make it impossible to see more than 50 feet. Can't keep face shield clear. Using stock windshield. Holed up in nice motel and may just stay another night. Advice from more - experienced tourers?

    Throttle sticking

    I installed Oxford Heaterz grips and had a little trouble with the throttle side. Still an inch or so out, and concerned about the Superglue that had been liberally applied, I held a piece of wood against the outer end and rapped it with a heavy wrench. It moved in that final inch and seemed...

    Denali PowerHub 2 fuses: Mini = Mini ATC ?

    My PowerHub2 came yesterday and I went to the auto parts store to buy fuses. None identified as "Mini ATC" but I bought a pack marked "Mini." Back home, I was unable to insert one of these "Mini" fuses into the hub despite some pretty hard pushing. Blade spacing is OK but the blades seem a...

    Help! Rear-view mirror

    Trying to mount a new Givi hand protector, I have the right rear-view mirror off the bike but there are two abutting 14 mm nuts that probably come apart. No success so far, and you can see I've already burred them a little. First, DO they come apart, and (second) advice as to HOW?

    Electricity: Anderson Powerpoles?

    I have no electric outlets or accessories yet on my 2014 700X and I have ordered the 08A71-MGS-D30 sub-harness and a relay kit, but am wondering about this: https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/wmt-58315-1043 I use several of these Powerpole distribution panels in my ham-radio shack. These...

    Heated grips recommendation?

    Sorry about yet another "heated grips" thread but I'm overwhelmed, having looked at probably a hundred posts already about them. I'm considering these Oxfords: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/oxford-heaterz-premium-touring-heated-grips which the site says can be trimmed down to 110mm...

    How to install an electrical outlet?

    Lots of threads about proper uses of accessory outlets, measuring current draw, etc., but my relatively unmodified 2014 NC-700X still has no accessory outlet at all. Can someone point me to where this is explained? I visualize perhaps a dual cigarette-lighter socket, maybe in the frunk. (I'm...

    Givi E251 Monokey Universal Plate

    How does one mount this plate on the NC700X? I have Dale's rear rack and could probably figure out how to bolt this Givi thing to it, but would prefer to mount the Givi plate (and the 42L top box that is on its way) behind it. I'm beginning to think I should return this thing and search for the...

    Advice re touring luggage?

    I am starting to equip my fairly new (2,200 miles) 2014 NC700X for long-distance touring/camping. So far I have Dale's rack installed and am planning to use Givi products, but am not sure about the next step. At present I'm thinking of starting with the 48L Outback Trekker left side bag with...
