Re: Forza 350 with Oxford Protex Stretch Outdoor Premium Stretch-Fit Cover

Unfortunately (or fortunately) I live only 100 metres from the ocean and the prevailing SW gales throw salt all over any machinary and it rots them very quickly. Already I've had to put Duck Oil on the cast aluminium inner gearbox casing as it was starting to go 'fluffy' and the bikes only 3 months ...

Forza 350 with Oxford Protex Stretch Outdoor Premium Stretch-Fit Cover

Hi All, I really struggled to find a 'winter' cover designed for Forza 350 with big topbox (Givi 56) in the UK.... I found one review somewhere that said this cover fitted his 350 with 47 topbox so thought I'd try it This is Oxford Protex Stretch Outdoor Premium Stretch-Fit Cover XL CV163. Tried con...

Re: Bought a Forza - Forum Hiatus

And just to add, the Forza 350 fixes the screen height problem. Think they spec it as 40mm taller. I'm 6ft 2 and no major wind in face issues atall - at least up to 60mph. Haven't been faster yet ;-)

Re: Forza sub-groups?

Congrats on your new bike! Out of curiosity: What are the main differences besides capacity? Does it share the same frame? Engine layout? Thanks for the wishes!! Basically 300 to 350 everthing's different. Looks similar, but so much is slightly different, you'd have to dig into the parts catalogue ...

Re: '21 Forza 350 with Givi V56 Top Box

I've driven around a bit, here in Devon (UK) now and to be honest, don't notice the box is there. No vibrations or rattles (yet), can't see it in the mirrors. Tried a bit of driving on dual carriageway. Got to 60mph. Loads more throttle, but I chickened out... not used to the bike yet and it's brand...

Re: How to remove top brake light cover on 2021 Forza 350

Hi John That's very useful, thanks. Can I ask where you got your Givi rack from, please? Most are shipping from Italy (i.e. extra customs costs and delays), but I've seen one on Ebay https://picclick.co.uk/GIVI-SR1187-HONDA-FORZA-350-2021-TOP-BOX-203304859352.html Sounds quite scary pulling a new s...

Not sure it's made in Italy. Supposed to be able to tell from the VIN, but that looks like it's made in a Japan factory. Really confusing.

Accessories aren't available in the UK yet, plus it's a 47 litre and I wanted the biggest, plus it was mega££ plus it's got one of those keyless locks on it which would take up significant space inside.

Givi 56 litres was only £200. Looks really smart.

Re: RoadSync - what do you think?

Well, RoadSync actually uses Google Maps, so I'm sticking with that.
I tried OSM this afternoon, but I didn't find it intuitive.

Forza sub-groups?

Hi ModSquad, As you will have seen, I've just become the very proud owner of the new '21 Forza 350 over here in the UK. Starting to do some research and work on it and it's very different to the Forza 300. There's also the 750 which is way different again... Do you want me to continue to put my stuf...

'21 Forza 350 with Givi V56 Top Box

See pictures of the M5 plate on SR1187 rack and then with V56 Top Box. Perspective makes it look bigger than it reall is - only a bit taller than the Top Box on better half's Shadow 125. No rattles. But to fit the rack, go look at my How To - there's a trick to getting the rear brake light top cover...

How to remove top brake light cover on 2021 Forza 350

Hi All, I've had fun today fitting a Givi SR1187 rack, M5 plate and V56NNMaxia 4 Monokey top box on my brand new Forza 350A. The Givi rack installation instructions are very vague on what to do, but does give the order of procedures. To get access the top shock bolts to fix the rack supports you hav...

Re: Hello Newbies! We're Glad You Found Us!

Well, I am in the UK. My last bike was a CD175 back in '76 to '78. Haven't ridden a bike since. then the family arrived, so it was cars, bigger cars, 4x4's. Now I am free from all those responsibilities, I've just ordered a new NSS350A Forza. Due for delivery 'May'! I've ordered the blue one. Looks ...
