Thank you all for the advice. I have installed a quick connect plug on my battery for my charger. I've just found out that the company makes a 12V outlet that plugs directly in that quick connect plug, so that problem is solved. Now, i wand to install a air horn on my NC, wich requires a relay...

Hi, I don't know much about electricity and wiring and I was wondering if I could install a battery charger and a 12V socket on top of each other, on the battery (i.e. 2 eyelets on the positive pole and 2 eyelets on the negative pole)? Apart from the space needed on the battery screws, is...

I know what you mean... Some people like the loneliness, but others like to share the moment with others. One way to get around that problem might be to join some other motorcyclists on the road? Don't let the loneliness bug you down on your trip. We're there with you, only from a distance. :D

Hi all, I'm just being curious... Do any of you (NC700 & 750x owners) have a second, bigger and more comfortable bike for longer rides with a passenger? If so, what motorcycle did you fall for? Maybe not for the time being, but in 2 to 3 years from now, I'd like to have 2 bikes. One for...

I think you cannot ever regret a decision like that. You regret only not taking the plunge. You talked, in your original post, that it was a mid-life crisis decision. My own midlife crisis decision was to get my motorcycle drivers licence. LOL! But I have some mid-term projects of my own, like...

It's quite a decision you take there. I wish I could have the guts to do the same. I've taken note of your blog address and i'll follow your travels with great interest. Kudos to you! and good luck with your endeavour. Cheers!

My brand new Standard NC750x 2016 cost me 9900$ CAN, without any accessories, taxes in. Which is about 7600$US.

Nice job! I too am looking into changing my torture device, I meam my OEM seat... :p I'll take your advice and quite certainly buy another seat from Honda so that I still have the original one. I have also been looking on the Web for other makes, like Shad, Corbin and Sargent, butI find that...

Update : I have ordered a new gasket. Cost? 55$CAN (free of charge since its still under warranty). If that part is 8$ in the US, we Canadians are getting shafted... :-(

Now That's funny. Last week a guy walked up to me and told me he liked my BMW. I dismissed it and thought the guy just knew little about motorcycles, but with your story, maybe the NC (I have the 2016 model) has more BMW DNA than it seems...

Yup, nicer than those Honda offers, and nearly half as cheap, at least where I live. Those V35 look good on the NC!

It's secured by being fit into a groove in the lid. As said above, it came loose at the bottom. I'll see if the dealer has better luck on its 2nd attempt at repairing it...

Hi all, I'm currently having issues with the frunk rubber joint on my Nc750x. Some part of it has come loose and even though I went to the dealer to have it glued back, it just won't stick. I even tried to glue it myself with crazy glue, and it didn't work. :confused: Are some of you who own...

Hi, I'd like to know... Those of you who have the Givi E21/E22 sidecases, are they big enough to, say, put a motorcycle jacket (with padding) in them? Thanks!

Those are the words of a very wise man! Indeed, Montreal offers a great sight, especially during summer months. ;)

I'm following this thread. I also have a on and off squeak on the front brake, at low speed only. I tought it was due maybe to low quality brake pads. But I'm no mechanic...m Bike has 2000 km on it.

I too hope to visit my country one day. I haven't been farther West than Ontario. In the next few years, I intend to ride to Alberta and British Columbia. And my brother and I will certainly ride the Us West coast in 2 to 3 years from now. I can't wait for that to happen. As for the bears, if...

Actually, I live on the North shore of Montreal, in Laval. And I now work from my home, so I dont have to travel in the city too often, which is a good thing. The wife works in the area, family lives in the area and kids go to school neaby. That's the main reason I live here. Otherwise, I'd live...

You got that right. I know what you mean, I always wear full gear.

Yup, that's pretty hot for Eastern Canada. But I know it's nothing compared to southern and SW USA... 95/98 F is scorching hot for us! But don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. :-)
