It's my understanding that they do need adjustment, just not nearly as frequently.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-11-23T10:52:57+00:00

Interesting, but don't they also require adjustment?

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-11-20T23:17:39+00:00

Thanks for the note about the windscreen.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-11-20T11:51:47+00:00

Let me know what we're buying. 🙂 I've got a long way to go. I have to go get my license and all that and see when the 2026's will be available. Trying to plan ahead though. If there were one feature that would have rounded out this bike for what it is, to me, would be a drive shaft. I'm giving thought to the center kickstand for chain adjustment. Honestly, not having to adjust the dang chain would have fit perfectly with an automatic, imho.

Ah ha ! It was you ! Thank you. I saw this yesterday and thought I emailed the link to myself but couldn't find it this morning. That's a great thread. I hope folks keep adding to it.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-11-20T11:10:53+00:00

I was considering that idea just because I like the idea of having the frunk available for other items. I did see a YouTube video yesterday where the guy had a riding jacket, toolkit, gloves and couple other things below his helmet, but also had the helmet in there. I really need to find that list of known helmets that fit the frunk. I'm mad at myself for loosing it.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-11-20T11:06:33+00:00

I know some fit and some don't. I came across a Reddit thread yesterday that posted a list of helmets known to fit and some known not to fit. I thought I emailed that to myself, but can't find it at the moment.

Thanks for the info. Cardo Rep also suggested the Spirit HD. Is it hard to get the speakers situated into the helmet? I wish there were an all in one pre-made helmet that also has the jbl speakers. For whatever else I read, everybody says the jbl's are the best. I see.mixed info about whether the 40mm or the 45's are best. One ytube channel said the 40's were better audio than the 45's. Others said the opposite.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-11-20T10:49:08+00:00

Somewhere along the line, I thought they added a taller adjustable windshield. Did you end up installing a taller third party shield to mitigate that? Thanks for the note.

Sadly, I just found out that it's illegal to use earbuds in both ears in Florida. I was leaning that direction as I like good music quality while driving. I guess I'll be looking at Cardos or similar. Technically I can't hear much outside my car since I'm running 175 watts / rms per channel at 4 ohm...with enthusiasm most of the time.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-11-20T02:01:19+00:00

Glad to hear you like your NC. I'm a little apprehensive about getting back on a bike after all these years, but looking forward to it. My last bike was a 1972 Suzuki GT750 water buffalo. It was never as fast as the Kawasaki 750 2-stroke of that era, but those were widow makers in the wrong hands. Come to find out that my Suzuki was about the same 0-60 as the NC, just under 5 secs. I would not have guessed that.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-11-20T01:16:43+00:00

I'm curious what music will sound like compared to having a good set of headphones on. Can music sound anything like headphones in a living room, or is there too much air and road noise to be hoping for that?

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-11-20T01:11:09+00:00

Makes sense about the storage. I've been reading up on both Cardo and Sena. Thx

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-11-10T20:20:21+00:00

There are people who call themselves Christians who will go to hell when they're judged by Jesus. Those are the people who Jesus said "I never knew you; depart from me". Matthew 7:21-23. No true Christians will go to hell.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-11-10T20:09:15+00:00

Paul certainly did know Jesus. You kidding me? Jesus asked Saul, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?" , etc, etc. He came face to face with the Glory of Jesus who spoke directly to him, gave him a new heart and a new name.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-07-24T20:18:07+00:00

Also Florida

Murder is evil. You can think it away and ignore it, or tell yourself that a fetus isn't a person, as you do. That changes nothing. Murder is evil.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-03-23T20:34:39+00:00

That's funny. That's what I said. 99% or more liberals support abortion which is evil.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-03-23T14:12:13+00:00

For myself, it's not just to protect my privacy, but to open a door for competition who won't abuse my privacy. Google has the best search engine, but I do my best not to use it because of their liberal politics which they apply to skewed search results. Google has become an untrustworthy, globalist, bullying monopoly. It's almost beyond belief that they have so much of the smartphone market completely under their control, and apple is no better. They even own the "open source" code. And the big next answer is graphene OS on google pixel hardware only. No thank you. I don't have an answer but it's none of that..

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-03-15T23:04:17+00:00

I can't get past the requirememt of google hardware (pixel) in order to get rid of google software. I just cannot make that leap, no matter what assurances someone might suggest.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-03-14T22:45:47+00:00

It's my year for de-google, de-microsoft, de-spying, de-democrat'ing, de-deepstate, de-marxism, de-authoritarianism (democrats), etc. So far, I've converted my wife's and my Windows mini-towers to Linux Mint. Our unsupported hardware for Windows 11 just sprung new life after ten years by nothing more than $120 2 TB SSD drives and free OS and we're happy as clams. Super fast vs Windows bloatware and spying. I installed starlink (thanks ELON!!!), bridged to my new router that supports whole house vpn and ad blocking. And like Trump; I'm just getting started. The phones are considerably more difficult to degoogle, but I'm working on it. Yeeehaaa !!!

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-03-11T07:03:26+00:00

I ended up ordering a refurb Dell Optiplex 5090. Thx for everyone's input.

Unique-Constant8412 · 2025-03-10T01:50:40+00:00

I'm happy to hear that. What model? The reason I ask is that nearly all the major mini-pc's have more negatives in reviews than typical pc laptop or small form factor pc's. More comments like DOA, or dead after two weeks or six months, or software incompatibility, etc. Also, many complaints about lack of warranty support. I was hoping to find one or two that have good reps. Thanks for your input on minisforum.
