Another great job, I love watching and learning from your mods. Ride safe.

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

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

Bravo...thanks for giving me another project for my NC700....That mod looks great!

thank you for always sharing the transformation with us

Pretty sure you were a Blacksmith in one of your past lifetimes. Great video and thanks for teaching us these simple pleasures.

Thanks mate.

I thought about this all weekend while doing maintenance on my NC, and then i find this, you did a great job Sir, i don't like the grey either, i will do something similar, thanks for the idea! ;-)

Good job ! Have toyed with the idea of some kind of grille to block out the ugly rusting exhaust. You have nailed it !

Great job Adrian that looks awesome

Good job! It looks so much better 👍

Looks great. It should have come that way. Your skills far exceed mine. Please keep your videos coming.

@AfricaTwin-Stuff

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.

Great job. It looks GREAT! (please don't use acetone on your bare hands, folks)

I've always wondered about the odd shape of that "tube" between the flange and the catalytic converter. Why isn't that a nice pice of round bent tube?

If you use a rubberised paint for underneath or radiator paint it should hold up

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nice video and work. How is the paint holding?

If you wax bit or some kind of protection the paint should wash clean

Off topic, I have just upgraded rear shock with a YSS on your recommendation. But is the front fork upgrade worth it ? Cheers Cobber

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 thought that whole was for extra cooling , I’m probably wrong 😊

What is the name of the black glue? Do you have a link to product

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.

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!

what was it that you used to glue the grill on ?

Sikaflex. But I think any type of silicone would do the job.

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.
