    Center Stand

    Something else to ponder! I have the Webbike center stand if my memory serves me correctly and it does raise the tire about 2" as Steven said. Getting the bike up definitely takes some effort but I think dropping the bike back down is probably what beat the heck out of the shock I had to...

    So do I need a bigger bike?

    I never adjusted the shock as she liked the ride as is. Center stand is out there on some website, but I can't remember which one. When I got hers, I had to get one made for a NC700S (not X) from overseas. Now, there might be one made for it so you will have to research.

    So do I need a bigger bike?

    Not sure of your weight Duffy, but my wife is only 110lbs and I have had to replace her rear shock after about 61k miles. It was toast! That rubber piece is supposed to look like a doughnut. We pack pretty light and stay in hotels. I'm sure you are well under the carrying capacity for the bike...

    70,000 on the CTX

    I'm the same way MJC! I have put lot's of miles on different bikes over the years, but I always trade them out for a new one before hitting the 100k mark. My highest mileage was a 2006 Yamaha FJR 1300 that I put 80k on. It developed a slight leak in the rear suspension and I ended up trading it...

    70,000 on the CTX

    My wife hit 70,000 miles on the CTX today! We rode to lunch from Wesley Chapel, Fl to High Springs, Fl for lunch. On the way, she turned the odometer over to the big number. The bike has been flawless, and kudos to Honda for such a great design and quality manufacturing! Really, the bike looks...

    Thoughts

    I've read some posts on other forums about the Intimidator's with mixed reviews (like anything), mostly favorable. Sounds like you came up with a better solution to your problem and that's great! My wife rides the CTX and she is pretty much a light weight and hasn't complained. However, riding...

    Bike Week 2017

    I am truly old, as I just can't figure out how anyone can ride those bikes! I usually enjoy looking at what's in the parking lot's than what's in those shows! Good quality weather last weekend, and now it get's a little cool here. Thanks for the pics!

    Thoughts

    I check in almost daily Steven! I'm not a big poster unless I happen to get some videos or have a simple comment here and there. The weather has just been stellar in Central Florida so we have been riding when not working. I think if I lived up north, I would be posting all the time until summer...
