Not much activity lately.
It's still winter for many so not much riding, I guess.
It's good riding for some though.
So, why is everything quiet?
I ride 2-3 times a week. My CTX is gone but I'm enjoying the heck out of my CB500X.
Nice weather, not much rain, temps high 70s to mid 80s.
Perfect...
I noticed a recent and very active member has departed this forum and rejoined another saying it is the best CTX forum.
Seems he also deleted many of his posts.
Wonder what's up with that?
More than childish in my opinion.
There was a flurry of activity by some other new people which made for...

CTX seat SOLD!

it has no padding (actually some I installed) but consider it bare bones for you to build your own.

So it's an inside day-waiting and waiting
80 - 100 mph winds to be here this. aft. and through the night.
I think we can handle that, we'll see.
Likely to be without electricity for 2-7 days, already over 150,000 without power in south FL.
Interesting sidebar- in 1960 Hurricane Donna hit on my...

saw this and realized some of you upstate New Yorkers and other northern dwellers might get to see some neat stuff in the sky Sunday.
Saw the Northern Lights once 25 years ago and still can't get over the beauty.
Let us know if you see them...
Riding season is here for all of us.
Just a reminder to flush/refill brakes if your bike is 2+years old.
Probably time to do a coolant change too, for many.
If you don't need the brake fluid change, here's a tip I got a long time ago. front master cylinder screws can be a pain in the butt and...
nice letter to the editor in the current issue.
It's from Mark Daniel in Apple Valley, MN
He says good things about the DCT.
Not sure if he's on this forum but have seen him on the other one.
nice ride yesterday but rain clouds over where I usually go.
So, I thought, why not head for home and do laundry-wash the bike jackets that is.
Got home in the overcast and got the jackets and soap ready.
Then out came the sun for the rest of the afternoon. Oh well, finish what you start.
Took...
this has to be the only CTX700"R" in the world
not bad for being 1500 bucks over priced
https://sarasota.craigslist.org/mcd/6097066482.html
somebody grab it quick
EDIT=ad says 2016, if so-not a bad price
did not think they were red in 2016
It's probably time for many to change the brake fluid-'14 and '15 owners. Not a bad job and two years is the recommended interval.
Coolant-ditto above-take the time to do this right, just like the book says.
While you're in the work-on the-bike mode, take the cover off behind the shifter and...
Need a seat, can be torn or ragged
any year, just want the pan and some stock padding
shipped to 34241
please include shipping in your price, cheapest possible shipping (might be FedX ground)
Have an idea but won't talk about it till it's done, in case I screw it up
Looks like only the faired model for 2017.

Interesting the Naked is shown as available but 2015 & 2016 models. And they are still featuring the CTX 1300 as a new '14. Wonder how many are sitting in crates?
Also interesting is that...
Saw these bags on another site-on a Can Am Spyder.
They are marketed as specific to the Spyder but would work on any bike.
For the CTX you'd need to fabricate hangers for the brackets to mount to.
They are quick release like my Givi/Kappa bags and larger volume at 37 liters (mine are 22).
Price...
where is everyone?
waiting for the install vid from woodswoman, no word from mjc or thumper or burdicda or troupe the rest
hope all is well and mass desertion has not occurred
