I plan on keeping my CTX and buying an adventure bike in a few years as a second bike. The CTX, as all have said, is easy and fun to ride. With all my mods....plug for my Corbin seat....it is pretty cush. The fellows that I have gone riding are just bike snobs. It is what it is. The other...

Went riding with a group of riders and most said I need a bigger bike. That 700ccs is small for big rides. They were on adventure bikes...bmw, Ducati, Yamaha and some big cruisers. A large group. I was able to keep up with them fine. Is bigger better? Do I need a bigger engine for big...

Nothing with mine. Just stored in box. I don't think it has much value to anyone.

Any recommendations for a temperature gauge that can go in instrument area or on bars? Had not had any luck finding something that works. Thanks!!!

What brand of camera is it and what type of mount? Your initial thoughts on it? There are so many out there. Thanks.

I had problem with my Cee Bailey in which is slip down...posted on this already. I took it apart....the panels, the front part, etc. the prior well nuts were compressed to junk. The top bolts slipped down and the bottom did the same. I got well nuts from Honda dealer. I am not able to secure...

Anyway to get a picture of this??? Also, what material did you use to do this? Thank you for the info. Once I reattach my CB, I will do what you say.

Is there a way or trick to strengthen the connections? I think I remember something about such a thing from the other site. Thank you.

On a ride this afternoon, the windscreen detached and fell back an inch or two. I recently put on a MRA screen, clamp on. It caused flex and likely caused it to detach. What is the fix for this? The dealer put on the CB. Thanks!!!!

Rode to work yesterday. I took long route....20 so miles on back roads. Anyway, my bike was parked in direct sunlight for about 9 hours. It was almost 90 degrees out. The ride home was really nice. It was plush and just what I wanted. Best so far. Could the temperature have heated the fork...

Thank you for the responses. I have not run a tank on full S mode, so this gives me a good idea what to expect. Not bad numbers , imo.

Are people getting? Ideal answer would be if you only run S mode. Thanks!!!

My fork springs were replaced with racetech springs...ideal for my weight. You may want to research progressive springs vs non (racetech). Not sure if it really matters, but just did some reading on it. Something to consider.

Those are good questions. Maybe the smart approach is to do rear first and see what you think. I did lots of research and talked to several suspension people about the emulalators. All said they improve ride and handling. They do for me, imo....because of my weight. It was necessary mod...

Okay, went on long ride today. I will say I am very satisfied with my mod of front and rear suspension. The rear is perfect and won't be playing with it. I got the 8975 shock with a 1600 spring. It is just a great upgrade to stock. The front forks.....handled all road conditions very nice. At...
