  1. I'm looking to purchase bar risers, center stand and heated grips and WeBike has an OEM option for the center stand (it's twice the price as RECRAFT) but OEM is usually better, I've never ordered from Webike are they legit? The other question was heated grips I'd really like to get OEM for the slim controller and the pair on my NC700X have worked flawlessly for 11 years, I can't find VFR OEM heated grips even used but is there a difference between the NC750X or Africa twin heated grips (which are available) other then the plug connections, they seem like they're basically a stand alone unit other then proprietary connections but I'm no expert. Any help or advise would be appreciated

  3. I'm not having any luck finding an OEM center stand or heated grips for a 7th Gen 1200, not sure about the grips (that can wait a few months anyway) but I think I'm going to order a RECRAFT MOTO brand center stand, anyone have any experience with that brand?
  4. I've replaced the air temp and water temp sensors but they went bad within days of fiddling with other stuff so I likely messed with something related, other then then regular maintenance work, parts and fluids it has been flawless, original clutch and timing chain/tensioner even, oh I almost forgot, I did replace the fork seals once. It's due for some TLC, my daughter and possibly my wife will be using the NC to learn to ride. It's perfect for a first motorcycle
  5. The only other motorcycle I've owned is a 2013 NC700X I bought in 2014 that had 5,000 miles exactly on it after my test ride, it now has over 146,000 miles on it without any issues. I've gone down twice once was pretty rough on me but the bike didn't get banged up to badly. My NC came with OEM heated grips, center stand, side cases and charging port, I've added additional charging port types, OEM rear rack, auxillary lights and a Tutoro chain oiler. My rides are almost exclusively commuting to work which was 60 miles each way is now over 80 miles each way, going up and down I-5 traffic is usually going over 80mph and my NC tops out 92mph-96mph so going over 95% of what the bike is capable negates most of the fuel savings and fun. I plan on setting up the VFR as my commuting replacement as well as riding 2 up from time to time, any advice would be appreciated
  6. Never had a quick shifter before so don't even know what I'm missing 👍🏼 but yeah the flash is to ditch the bomb and I've read of files being improved instead of simply unlocking stock, work better with slip on and deCAT and K&N filter. I want to be 100% certain I know what I'm doing before I even start that project though
  7. The recall was taken care of and the seat has been replaced with something better then stock, if anyone know if how I could get my hands on OEM heated grips and center stand that would be great. As for the bar risers there's a few different brands and styles I've seen (dang they're pricy) looking at pros and cons of each
  8. Thanks Skids. The bike came with Dam exhaust, K&N AIR filter, new pilot 6 front and back, zero gravity touring screen smoked and clear, GIVI tank bag, SHAD tail box, Bazazz-z-bomb, rider pegs are something aftermarket, adjustable and solid. I'm looking for bar risers and a center stand immediately (currently looking for them) on that topic and opinions on RECRAFT brand center stand? I'll most likely do a CAT delete and ECU flash this winter (want to be certain I know what I'm doing with the flash. I'm riding long distance most often, my commute to work is 86 miles each direction, when I'm joy riding for the day I'm on the road riding 4 to 6 hours, out of the house for 8 to 10 on average. When I'm riding regularly I'll ride 3,000-4,000 miles per month
  9. Picked up a 2010 VFR1200 yesterday Has 22,000 miles and It came with some decent modes, planning on handlebar risers and center stand, any other mods come to mind?
