Re: Installed Customtaylor33 Rim Tape
It was pretty easy. Just clean your rims really good before you start applying. Each strip is a precut 8” piece. I just eyeballed where on the rim I wanted to stick it to (a little higher than midway) and just started applying. Once I knew I couldn’t get it perfectly semetrical, I just accepted it a...

Re: Should I Replace Stock Tires Early?
I’ve only rode a couple of times in the rain (it’s coming very soon tho), and I’m comparing the grip to my old scoot. I’m sure I’d get better and more confident at riding on wet roads with more time. But as some had said, I don’t wanna find out the hard way by crashing! But man was I underestimating...

Re: Near gear recommendations (jacket and pants) for city ri
I got all my first gear (helmet, jacket, winter gloves) at: https://motorcyclecloseouts.com/ They seem pretty good for riding gear and are a little cheaper than the other big websites. I try and buy all my gear if I can from one place. So now I usually go to revzilla, they have easy price matching f...

Re: NC Sport Touring Windscreen
I just posted an E-Bay link for this windscreen in the “for sale” section in this forum. Check it out for some big savings on a new screen.

Re: Key Holder
I’ve had this for about a week now, it’s way better than my extra key and card flapping around. It’s a simple little mod thats worth the everyday annoyance relief.
Mel, you won’t be disappointed with this case. It’s a solid purchase for me.

Re: Should I Replace Stock Tires Early?
Thanks 87112, I didn’t think about that option. I just put in my price match request on Revzilla to match Bikebandit, thay had the set for about $14 cheaper. Seattle’s a bit out of the way for me, there’s a couple of local shops here I will have to see if buying through them will save me more $. You...

Progressive Mini Gauge Pump 60 PSI
Just got this high quality aluminum hand pump for under $55 from revzilla. It says you can use it for adjusting air pressure on your aftermarket forks or shocks. I got stock suspension so I got this compact pump for my tires. It fits easily on the tire valve stem without any problems or need for ang...

Re: Should I Replace Stock Tires Early?
Sorry for the repeat, I didn't think the first went through. Thanks for the feedback. I also gotta call the shop to see how much they charge for the install. That might be another $20-40 I have no idea? I've been spending lots of $ on the scoot lately, but since it rains so much here and people noti...

Should I Replace Stock Tires Early?
I just got my pcx in the summer. It's rained a couple of times recently and I've noticed that the stock tires are slippery when the roads are wet. My questions are for those who have experience with aftermarket tires compared to stock. My scoot and the stock tires has only 1500 miles, but I'm contem...

Should I Replace Stock Tires Early?
So I just got my PXC in the summer. Up here in the PNW we're starting to get into the rainy season (Oct-June). So I've noticed the stock tires are pretty slippery in the rain. It has a lot less grip compared to my last scoot (2010 Honda Elite 110) with stock tires. I've read on a few posts about Mic...

Installed Customtaylor33 Rim Tape
Install sounds better, but I cleaned my rims with soap, water, then alcohol then stuck them on. I’m a bit of a perfectionist so getting these perfectly symetrical is impossible. But not noticeable for the most part. The 14” (pre-curved and cut 8” tip to tip) sized strips is correct. Towards the end ...

This is not exciting, but I don’t know what y’all do about your other keys on your keychain slamming around in the wind. I wanted to find a little bag for my extra givi key and gym card that would help protect my scoot from all the wind slamming. While searching amazon I found this cool Honda case f...

Re: Need suggestion, which color?
For looks, I’d get the smoked. Gotta consider if you ride a lot at night, are used to wearing shades or tints. I’m not so I’d get clear. But for you enjoying all that sun, probably smoked would be best.

Re: Patiently Awaiting my 16.5" NC Windscreen
The pic in the brown shirt is with the 14.75, the pic with my Seahawks shirt was with the 16.5” screen. So I’m 5’6” (longer in the legs) and I had significant wind noise with the shorter screen. I have no experience with the design and aerodynamics of the screen in your pic. But based on the heights...

Re: Patiently Awaiting my 16.5" NC Windscreen
The first pic is with me behind the 14.75” screen (before). The second pic is with me behind the 16.5” screen (after). It’s really hard to tell the difference in height from the pics. I tried sitting with my natural riding position in both pics. But as you can see in the prior pics, it’s pretty accu...

Re: Patiently Awaiting my 16.5" NC Windscreen
I plan on posting a couple more before and after pics of the 14” and 16” screens soon. The ones I took I wasn’t able to size it down correctly. I’m still figuring the pic pixel sizing stuff out.

Re: Patiently Awaiting my 16.5" NC Windscreen
Somehow I f’d up and reordered the 14.75” screen. So the first pic from my second post was of the 14.75” screen. So I returned it and just got the 16.5” and installed it yesterday. It’s only 1.75” taller, but it’s noticeably quieter. For me, I already knew I was gonna install a windscreen, so I shou...
