I never put one on it, I would have done if I was going on a long tour. I did turn the tank bag around though and replaced the pipe. I intend to make a vid assessing it as an adventure bike, it scores pretty high with a couple of flaws.
do your knees hurt after riding on long rides? i know mine sure do. i dont get why honda put the footpegs so high and back on this bike. it would have been better to have mid controls.
You know I wish I had done originally. The mount is not central on the tank (front to back) so rotating it would move it about 3 inches forwards which would take it over the lock. Sigh. Live and learn.
Hey buddy, Sweet looking rig, I was curious if you had a link to the fork boots or covers. I have been looking for a set like that, however I have not been able to since I started looking. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, AC 🍻👊🇨🇦

@@lr882027 fuck, a few miles out in my guess. I'm from Cumbria originally but did many years despatching in London in the 80's. We used to fuck around with bikes in a similar way.
There was some guy on ADVrider who made them but trying to get hold of one was like pulling teeth, I went back and forth for a few months and then gave up. I believe there was also someone form eastern Europe listing them on eBay, you could check there.
I don't, but if you search on the NC700x owners forum it's easy enough to find. However, I did notice some guy in Russia is making them for about half the price, they should be on eBay, about $150 or so.
Rears about 3K, front about 4K, not very much really, and I let the tread get pretty damn low. Great tires though do well on the road and the dirt. I now have a spare set of wheels with road tires so I swap out as required.
Dunno, it was on it when I got it, I did research it and found out it was about $140 or so. Seeing as any exhaust is going to make virtually zero difference to engine performance, I wouldn't spend too much money.

Getting rid of that starship tail light assembly really made the bike much more masculine. Well done Sir.
The first 40 seconds of this video sounds similiar to my typical morning routine.
😂Man you make my day. Very nice mod 👍👍👍👍
I like it, I still ride it regularly though I think it will be relegated to be my commuter bike when a Transalp shows up. But that could be a while.
Size of tires please ?
Loool you made me laugh great review
awesome bike, getting mine this week
very good , informative video, made me laugh, thinking of pulling the trigger on one in phnom penh. Probably will after this
That looks really good !

That skidplate is minty 👌🏼
Dude I destroyed that skid plate going up bunce school road to get to the T33 crash site. It got some serious hammer and couldn't take it.
@@lr882027 that's suprising! I honestly would've assumed that it was a high quality product for the price.

The tank bag idea is a bit sacrificial but i like the idea its good

Like the setup you have, do you have an updated look after you put on a windshield?
I never put one on it, I would have done if I was going on a long tour. I did turn the tank bag around though and replaced the pipe. I intend to make a vid assessing it as an adventure bike, it scores pretty high with a couple of flaws.
do your knees hurt after riding on long rides? i know mine sure do. i dont get why honda put the footpegs so high and back on this bike. it would have been better to have mid controls.
Can't say I've had that issue, I replaced the footpegs with the SW ones that don't seem to be any lower or further forward, they're just bigger.
Any idea wow is it dealing/ deals with high mileage? Thinking about picking up a used one with around 20k miles but not sure.
20K not a lot on one of these, would think they'd go a lot more miles than that.
These go 300k without an issue
Couldn't you unbolt the tank bag mount and rotate it 180 and rebolt. That would rotate your tank bag 180 and may move it a little forward.
You know I wish I had done originally. The mount is not central on the tank (front to back) so rotating it would move it about 3 inches forwards which would take it over the lock.
Sigh. Live and learn.
hi am jst wondering where did u buy that dust cover for your fork?
On eBay somewhere, I did have to do some digging to find the correct size.

Fucking great review! Exactly what i want to do so save me alot of time researching!
Could you share a link for the pannier racks I can't find any for the 2015 700x
Pretty sure they're Givi.
Hi pal, good vids. You South Manchester originally?
Kinda, Sandiway in Cheshire. Still got a pile of good mates there.
@@lr882027 fuck, a few miles out in my guess. I'm from Cumbria originally but did many years despatching in London in the 80's. We used to fuck around with bikes in a similar way.
Who makes those rear seat cover plates? They have a website or ebay store?

@@lr882027 thanks
Are you still happy you got your vaccination?
Do you have a link for the rack that replaces the passenger seat?
I don't, but if you search on the NC700x owners forum it's easy enough to find. However, I did notice some guy in Russia is making them for about half the price, they should be on eBay, about $150 or so.
if you want more power, go for the nc750x
Specs say 750 has 3 more horsepower, don;t really see the point.
@@lr882027 oh I agree, but in the video you mentioned wanting to have just slightly more HP
How many miles did your tires last I just bought one with tkc80 on it and I like them but am curious about fucking longevity.
