Did anyone try to put a clutch handle from another Honda that's adjustable?
The CBR1000 handle for example -

Would this fit our bike?
I usually detach and reattach my bike key to the others so I remember about the disc lock.
This time I didn't, started off and the lock bumped into the caliper from the lower side.
Now the ABS light is blinking when I ride. Is this something that I could try to fix myself? Could I have ruined...
I went to a suspension guy to tune the RSV shock. This is what I gathered, probably mostly mundane, but perhaps some will be helpful.
There are 3 adjusters on the shock -
A flat screwdriver slot on the gas can - for compression damping
A little black round knob on the bottom, turned by hand -...
Would it be possible to take the entire contraption that holds the pegs -
and connect it with longer screws, with some rubber washers on the side touching the bike? If so, which type of washers would you recommend?
There's these for a Honda GL1800 -

The hole diameter is the same as the NC footpeg spec, not sure about the 1cm distance or that the rubber is thicker
Thanks all. I'm sure it's simple once we figure out how it's done ;)
These seem to have regular metal connections, guess it means more rubber on the pegs themselves helps get the job done?
I oredered these covers-

I usually hit 6th gear around 95 100 kmh/ 60 mph when accelerating, shift back to fifth around 70 kmh/ 44 mph. Trying to avoid passing 4K rpm, feels nicer (and I assumed more economic)
Isn't this easily solved by using rubber bushings of some sort in the pegs regardless of engine vibration...
I got the brake fluid replaced before the trip, front pads were replaced a little before that. Tires are stock sizes, no defensive metal pieces on the bike. No idea about the chain/ sprockets, I did put the RSV rear shock in lately.
I did my first "long" trip on the NC, around 180km. The buzzing of the pegs gave me a bit of an after effect in my feet. Was wondering. These seem to be our peg parts -
what happens is you use a rubber covered pin or a thinner pin wrapped in a piece of rubber? Or squeeze some rubber washers...
Nice touches, I should probably add some reflectors myself.
How about these generic shock sleeves -

I have one on the way from ebay, but I'm not sure how this works with rain and moisture retaining...
Graham, that looks sweet. How much does it cost? And what's that yellow thing on your luggage rack? :)
Greg, are you talking about this?

(btw, where are the thank you/like on the phone version of the forum?)
Well, then there's this -

But it's also unclear how you mount it to the bike
What do you make of this one?

Will it be good for protecting the rear shock?

Didn't realize they have different characteristics, thought the Tuono was just the naked version of the RSV. Maybe the front forks happen to fit the NC as well? :p
I think grease will eventually get removed from the scratch, kinda worried about rust getting inside the spring. Should I melt...
