Not quite an adventure bike

[cattmando]

Just some practical mods for the long haul:
Electric grips from Warm And Safe,
Electric connector for my Gerbing vest,
2-prong SAE plug for charging tablet and phone,
MadStat windscreen,
Flat seat mod
Ron Majors rack off my old ST, plus a light bar,
Honda panniers and mounts,
Raised front fender,
Puig rear hugger,
Michelin Commander 120/90-17 and 160/70-17 tires,
New chain n sprockets and Scott Oiler.

Chain is 113 links instead of 112 because of fat tire and hugger.
Had to add a vacuum port for the oiler, real PITA!

No pics as its all pretty standard stuff

Expecting 20,000 plus from these tires.

Ron Majors rack off my old ST, plus a light bar,

Wow - there is a blast from the past - I had the honor of meeting Ron on a Baby Butt event (1000 miles/24 hours - a cake walk for him) in San Diego a few years before he passed - I was so proud of my ST1100, but his put mine to shame. One of the top endurance riders ever.

I always tell everyone that my NC700 is really a mini-me ST1100 ...

Ron was an original STERN, first met him at [email protected] number 1 in 1996. He was quite the engineer. Never saw him off the bike without a beer in his hand.

*STrider, don't recall his number but gotta be double digits.

Hello George, hope all is well with you, been thinking of you lately and hoping you were out on the road.

Back in Arizona after an extended trip. Mostly van but many bike miles too. The mods all work well except on of the running lights is burned out. New ones awaiting installation. I think I'll keep her.
