Good on you for giving it a try.

Ha! Yes. That’s doable with the angle grinder but I didn’t think necessary.

Yes. I also like watching other people work while I sit back and relax 😁

did you actually changed the front wheel?

@@marcoaurelio6941 no Sir. Traded the bike for a CRF1100 Adv.sport...

Sorry to tell you the originals are mild steel. And these items experience very little stress. Mine are still going strong. BUT I would never recommend you do what I do. After all KZfaq an entertainment medium not a source of technical reference.

Hi bob doing the same mod on your bike will give you more comfort on the bike, to suit your long legs, ie this mod raises the seat height not lowers it. Thks

@@MrBeracah Many Thanks for the Information.

Yep. I wasn’t sure I would like the change so went with the “new” option.

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff Also make for a better video.

Lifted about 25mm

Yes. You can buy longer ones to lower the bike or shorter ones to raise the rear height.

No negative effect. It should in theory make the steering “quicker” but I cannot tell the difference. Just as stable as before.

They were purchased on eBay. Listings come and go, and I’m in Oz, so can’t point to a current listing. Sorry.

Sorry. Don’t know. I just tried a couple of drills in the original holes till I found one that fitted. I didn’t take note of the size. Anyway this is always a good practice as there is no guarantee your model is the same as mine and those holes must be correct for the bolts used on your bike.

Ok. I just measured my old ones and the holes on mine are 10mm.

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff Brilliant, thanks for checking that out for me

The bike isn’t lowered. It’s now higher in the back end. If you were in fact lowering the bike then yes you would also lower the forks.

Mild steel. The originals are mild steel too. There isn’t much load on the dog bones.

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff excellent. Thank you. Really enjoy your work. Wish my shop was as well equipped.

@@brendanslater4392 thanks. I love my shed. The latest addition is a milling attachment to the lathe that I’m having fun with.

Sorry. Don’t have the bike anymore. If I didn’t mention it on the video then the info is lost to history.

Not possible to raise the front as the forks are already on the fully extended position.

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff thanks for the reply I did Google and found I can get a fork tube of the same dimensions just a few centimetres longer. Potentially could that work or is it more complex than that ? One last question... Am I right in thinking that reducing the sag of the front fork will actually make it that tiny bit higher for me seen as it won't dip as much when I get on it?

@@billjohnson3284 I don’t know. I suspect it’s a bit more complicated to do than I’d be capable of understanding.

Можно выточить пробки выше стандартных,диаметром 41мм и получится опустить перья ниже на высоту выточеной пробки.

All done with the elbow torque setter. But I have no problem with others using a torque wrench.

I gained about 15-20mm. But to be fair, the NC isn’t an “adv”. And the later models had their ground clearance reduced even more than my 2016 model.

@@AfricaTwin-StuffI am presently living in Colombia in the Andes and riding a Himalayan. The bike has some wonderful qualities and it is an enjoyable ride, but I miss the durability and quality of the Jap bikes. The oil in my Himmy goes black after a few weeks of riding around town, where the Honda and my Ninja typically took months of daily riding to turn black. Everything is done to tighter tolerances on the jap bikes. The NC750x seems like a smaller and more efficient version of my old GL1000 Goldwing which I loved with the exception of the 36mpg. The ground clearance on the GL1000 was almost identical to the NC750x, with the GL coming in at 5.9in and the NC with 5.7in on the 2023 model. The change you made would make both bikes even. I took the Gl1000 on dirt roads with no problems with a heavy full fairing, radio system and trunk and bags. It was heavy considering base weight was 600lbs and then add another 100lbs for the Vetter fairing and touring accessories and the 80hp gets eaten up fast. But like the NC you had a low center of gravity with the boxer engine, and the fuel tank situated under the rider's seat with the fuel cap inside the frunk which is much larger in the New and improved NC design. The NC beats the old GL1000 in not only fuel economy but also top speed. On the NC - 125mph, GL - 122mph. From an engineering perspective, I think Honda resurrected the GL1000 concept and simply made it better, and made it for worldwide circulation. As far as ADV goes, Mike Freerider Gagne has put over 250kM on his NC traveling all over the far east and much of it was off road. I think the NC is an Adventure motorcycle with it's impressive fuel efficiency, you just need to ride within its limits.

It’s actually called a “dog bone”

Yes I guess that would be possible by adding longer dog bones and sliding the forks up the triple clamps. But 60mm is a lot to lower the bike which would compromise your suspension and corning ground clearance.

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff thanks for reply

I couldn’t notice a difference. The effect on the rake would be minimal for the amount I adjusted the rear.

Not on the NC. Shorter ones push the swing arm down.

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff thanks for the reply, have you got any chart worked out how much the dog bone size actually lowers the height down on the bike, or is it up 20mm on the bone, then down 20mm in seat height. basically like for like, thank you.

@@MrWhothefoxthat no I don’t. In my video you see how unscientific I was when I made and fitted shorter dog bones.

5mm thick. The dog bones are way stronger than they need to be as they are under very little stress.

Increase rear ride height / ground clearance and makes it easier to put on the centre stand

If you watch the video, it’s explained 🤔

It’s not a very big change geometry-wise. Not as much as the standard lowering links go in the other direction.

Mike this raises the seat height not lowers it. Thks

@@MrBeracah This will raise the seat height.

Yep. I definitely DO know better. Thanks.

хонда сама продаёт такие линки,для поднятия на 30мм,значит всё расчитано на +-30мм.Извиняюсь,что не на английском языке.
