A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
I did the Race Tech Gold Valve a number of years ago. They made a huge difference on the freeway and over broken pavement/speed bumps. Do allocate a whole afternoon (or more) for the install though since it requires a full disassembling of the forks and some drilling. You will get to know how...
Yah, I agree that they are positioned too low to be used as the replacement for the turn-signal. And side view is another issue, good point. So I will decide if I will use them as another set of amber blinkers or white DL. Both has its added benefits.
As for the light pattern, they turn out...
Testing out the turn-signal function with the halo ring. Would need to add resister if I were to wire it this way.

Testing out the turn-signal function with the halo ring while the main LED is on. The 20W LED is overpowering the amber halo ring...
So I decided to go with these 20W Square LED off Amazon. From the review pictures, its light pattern best resemble headlights - not quite spot, not quite flood; it's a flat patter with top cutoff so I don't blind on-coming traffic. It also has a separate wire for a set of halo lights that I...
Those lights are way nicer than I am willing to spend. But they are sweet those. How are yours mounted on the bike?
As for legality for motorcycle turn signals in Washington State, the front facing one must be on the same level, placed as far apart as practical. They must emit amber lights...
Thanks for the feedback, rippin. I am also considering those little Xprite lights. They are really inexpensive and give a really good spot light throw down the road. I currently have a 18W LED and thought 20W combined may not be that much of improvement. But for $20, it might worth a shot...
I have added some cheap 18W 6" spot lightbar off Amazon to my NC700X to increase visibility during dark winter commute (in Seattle area). I mounted the LED on a home-made bracket right below the headlights/baby beak. It's wired right to the battery with a 3-pin switch on the left mirror stem...
5'7 30" inseam here.
I, too, has the MRA X-Creen spoiler (sports, I think) on the Tall Honda Touring screen and it has been great for the past several years. I tried clip-on first but found the X-Creen to be a little bit too wide for the honda touring screen. It's not as secure as I'd like...
I've been running Oxford Adventure heated grips, with heated jacket liner when it dips down between 40, in the past 4 seasons. It's been working fine but it appears to be the limit. I won't be able charge my phone on top of grips and liner. Jacket liner kept on cutting out.
Thanks Krampus. Appreciate the link to the videos. I assume that all RSV and Tuono shocks are all pretty similar from year to year. I will look for a newer RSV reservoir shock, which should have just enough clearance to fit.
I am thinking about doing the same mod this winter. Is there a particular model of shock to get or are they pretty much created equal (equally mediocre but far better than NC700X stock shock)? Reservoir vs. non-reservoir (apparently they all fit with sufficient clearance)? Later versions vs...
I do the same here (5'7 150lbs). I always use a Givi V46 topcase for daily commute. I stand on left footpeg and swing right leg over the seat with bend kenn. So I don't swing the leg all the way over the topcase, but instead right in front of it.
