    Looking at buying a NC700X 2012

    I think it’s a tad bit high. These bikes have one of the worst resale values so at $3500, you could definitely get something nice and newer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shinko 705

    Ah, I wasn’t looking at that size... I look at the usuals like chaparral, motorcycle superstore and eBay. The front 705s just got delivered yesterday so I’ll install in few more thousand miles! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shinko 705

    I will update this post with a picture of my worn tires but I installed them at 20,500 miles and just replaced them at 30,190. Nothing but regular highway commutes and 400 miles of rough dirt and rocks. Think had 2 punctures on them. The 705s went up in price so I just replaced it with Shinko...

    Great Service at Wrench Motorcycle Service in LA

    Did you by chance document your travel to Baja on your nc700x? Been thinking about it but not sure what it can handle over there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Front Wheel Woes

    I have seen wheels here and there pop up on eBay but I’m pretty sure there aren’t any other wheels that will fit on the bike but I could be wrong. If it’s not urgent and it doesn’t sound like it is, I would put a search alert on eBay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shinko 705 long miles tread wear w/pictures

    I’m currently at 16,000 miles on my front and I’m pretty sure they’ll make it 20,000. My rear lasted me about 10,000 but I had to change it before a major trip so I think I could have squeezed 12,500 miles. I don’t think there are better value tires than these shinkos. Sent from my iPhone...

    Top boxes: go cheap or go brand?

    There is no way this storage is 72L. The second picture barely fits two standard helmets. I guess the additional space could be had by increased in height but still doesn't seem like its 72L at all. vidaXL Motorbike Top Case 72L for 2 Helmet Motorcycle Bag Pannier Back Luggage: Amazon.co.uk...

    Former cascade washingtonian here! Parents used to live in Concrete until 2013. Think highway bars, comfy seat and tall windshield would make your 1000 mile trek much easier. Welcome!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Top boxes: go cheap or go brand?

    I’m pretty sure that’s a typo or a mistake. I saw the listing and from the pictures, no way that’s a 72L. It’s a 47L that everyone else has. I have one myself though mine was a name brand, it has been solid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How much do you pay to get tires mounted?

    Wowsers! I don't feel too bad about my local shop charging $30 a tire when off the bike. There are places that will charge less around So Cal down to $15 per tire but I don't have a spare car. Last time, I did my own tire since I had couple of spoons and I've got the scratches to show for it. I...

    Garage Tools

    Would get 27mm socket/wrench for rear wheel axle. Also to remove the front wheel, you’ll need a 17mm allen I believe. Chain tools are helpful as well as wheel bearing removal tool. If you plan to do your own tires, there’s a lot of tools for that as well. Air pump would be good. That’s all I can...

    2018: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

    I didn’t do this today but over the past weekend. I attended a rally in Pahrump NV. I was only going to do easy gravel roads and had new rear Shinko 705 and halfway worn Shinko 705 in the front. I decided to go on a ride with 15 others that would take us to Beatty via Nevada BDR, Titus Canyon...

    Close up picture of stock windshield

    Apparently I’m more organized than I had initially thought. I had all the plastic inserts in a zip lock bag. Next time I will tape it to the windshield. I then used the rubber screw thing that fits in the holes which I believe is used in the madstad windshield setup. I also used the same black...

    Close up picture of stock windshield

    I need to put my stock windshield back and was wondering someone with a stock windshield could kindly take a close up pic of it. I’m removing my madstad bracket and can’t remember what goes where. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Crosspro skid plate review

    I’m not sure about the center stand but I’m pretty sure it will work with engine guard. I have sw motech engine guard and they work just fine. You’d have to also check about nc750x as well. Sorry not much help... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    30 oz. fuel bottle holder

    Another uber cheap solution would be to use these bottle holders from eBay. They have molle on them so I'm sure you can figure out how to strap it on the bike and use some kind of strap through the cap to make sure they stay put. I can't find it but I'm pretty sure I've seen some other person do...

    Brakes braking after braking?

    Looks like I’ve answered my own question. Should have googled it. The noise is from vibration of back of brake pad against the caliper. Anti squeal or brake lubricant should resolve it. Will report back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Brakes braking after braking?

    How about this, the useful level of your response is pretty horrible?!?! No really, already checked all of that and apologize if I wasn’t clear as to exactly what I did and couldn’t go in to exact detail as to the degradation of the braking performance. Doesn’t sound like you’ve had this happen...
