This is a completely unnecessary mod, but I like the end result

That grey cowling on the NC is made from the most dirt/bug/grime attractant ever. It gets dirty after 35 seconds of use and is virtually impossible to keep clean! Well done for hiding it!

I never thought about this before but Honda should have made it this way in the first place. Excellent idea, well implemented 👍

I painted mine black some years ago, and it probably needs a repaint now. But I never thought of adding a grill. That looks amazing!

@@drewiliffe4855 Only if referred to in relation to speech I.e. "Boris is Alright" "You Sir, are talking Bollocks" That sort of thing. However if an object is observed and then referred to as "The Bollocks" it generally means it is Fantastic "The Mutt's Nuts" As it were... Your welcome.

@AfricaTwin-Stuff
@AfricaTwin-Stuff 10 месяцев назад
Paint? It’s still perfect. Which is a bit surprising given it cops road crap from the front wheel. I think the plastic etch primer is the key to success.

Off topic, I have just upgraded rear shock with a YSS on your recommendation. But is the front fork upgrade worth it ? Cheers Cobber
@AfricaTwin-Stuff
@AfricaTwin-Stuff 5 месяцев назад
Front upgrade worth it? For me it was. The PD valves made the most difference. But if you are happy with your current setup then don’t upgrade.

I'm not an expert, but according to my abacus calculations you should have done this and that to compensate for fluid dynamics, Newton's laws of motion and other physics problems which I'm certified as professionally unaware of. In comparison to the grill I never made, and through a layman's viewpoint it looks better than nice, so at the least you have that going for you!

Sikaflex can be bought almost anywhere here in Oz. It’s a very common product. Google it to find where you can buy it locally.
@mickleblade
@mickleblade 2 года назад
God 'ol Sikaflex, get a tiny dob on you hand and it'll transfer to the door handle, to you wife's hand on onto the white leather sofa etc. I seem to remember it cleans up with a dilute alcohol cleaner, though I can't remember if it was ethanol or isopropyl alcohol.

I used black Sikaflex. This is a brand of silicone that is super adhesive and strong but still remains slightly flexible.
