Hello from Sacramento

[Gbjbany]

Just got Back from Contra costa Motorsports - Picked up a black 2015 NC700XD - Drove home about 100 miles - my butt is not happy

Love the Pick up, traded in an FJR as im basically commuting.

Anyway, i'm checking all the Farkle threads to decide what to do first

Thinking Lights first because they worked for me on te FJR - not sure if i will use the engine guards or the Fender Bolts.
Then maybe a windscreen (bugs are a probblem this time of year) or a seat - a bit spendy

Hope to be able help someone out on here

Welcome.

Based on your comments and experience of many of us, a seat upgrade should be high on the farkle list. Don't expect it to get any better with use.

Welcome to the forum from Vermont. Butt first then the windshield.

Welcome from Yuma, retired from the bat area (Napa, Petaluma, Davis) then promptly fled from CA. I bought a 2015 myself only a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy.

Howdy from Texas. Seat is first on the NC7. Then windshield and rox 2" handlebar risers. Then you have a comfortable motorcycle!

Howdy from NC. I just installed the Seat Concepts "low" seat cover and the first ride was positive.

Welcome Aboard and Greetings from the San Fernando Valley.

I'd go with the seat first, definitely. What good is a ride with a sore butt? Saddle sore never has done anyone good, if you know what I mean? I think that you do...

Welcome from Athens, GA. As everyone is saying, something needs to be done about the seat. Here is the link to the Seat Mod Slope Change thread. If buying a new seat is not in the plans, there are loads of good ideas on how you can fix it yourself. After raising the front of my seat, I find it perfectly comfortable for all day riding. Happy tinkering.

A great combination...

How many miles you have on your Zero? I have over 5,100 miles on mine, I've had it since September.

I don't have that many more miles on mine than you do and I've had it since December 2014. As you know the Zero is by far the quicker bike but in spite of that I find myself riding and enjoying the NC more. It just hits the sweet spot for me.

Mine came 2nd hand with a Sargeant seat, so I can't relate to the commoin thread of butt-soreness.

Welcome to the asylum!
