Any Honda Dominator NX650 owners out there ?

Original is about 13 kg/mm. Wilbers uses 16 kg/mm for 80 kg driver. So I cutted about one round of. I have excel sheet somewhere where I calculated how much to cut of.

I use africa twin shock with shortened stroke.

If you have other questions feel free to contact.

Are you using the NX spring on the AT shock?

Does the AT shock have adjustable compression? rebound? remote reservior?

Thanks

At shock has remote reservoir and adjustable compression. Yes, nx spring in AT shock. AT original spring is about 10kg/mm. I added schrader valve to AT shock and it is serviceable.

I bought an '88 NX650 a little over a month ago. The bike needed a little TLC but seemed solid. When I got it, it looked like this

I ended up repairing a lot of the plastics - repairing the mounting tabs and cracks. Next on the agenda was to replace all the old rusted bolts with new stainless hardware. Ever bolt that I took out got replaced with a new one.
I was not very happy with the stock headlight, and on my first trip into the woods, a tree took care of that problem. So instead of finding a stock replacement I decided to convert to a dual headlight setup. I bought 2 Trail Tech HID SCMR16 lights. They only pull 30 watts each but output 100 watt halogen equivalent. I bought 1 flood and 1 spot. I modified the stock headlight mount and made a bezel from sheet metal.

After I welded the bezel together, I coated it with Truck Bed liner coating. I wired the flood light to the stock low beam and the spot to the high beam switch. They are really really bright, I have them pointed down and have not had an issue with cars flashing me as of yet. With both of them on - the visibility at night is really really good. One down side of the HID setup is that they are not instant on - they take a few seconds to fully come on.
Next was to raise the front fender. I started off mounting the stock fender higher, but decided that what I really needed was a flat top fender that I could mount to the bottom of triple trees. I found a blue dirt fender at Cycle Gear that I cut down.

Nice setup, Mark. I like the high fender on this bike and it's such an easy mod to do.

Hello evening to all...

I am back to continue what i have left behind awhile ago...Sold my '95 domi,bought an XRV750,and at the same time, yes...bought back again from the friend who actually bought back the '87 domi his sold me..pretty much confusing i know...

here's the domi that i've got back recently...

since the domi have lost it's original front bits,i am trying hard to recover the front fairings since now i have scored a deal on a used aprilia pegaso fairings



DRZ digital meters holding up.

and the early stage is complete.

that fairing looks like it's made for the bike. good job

Very nice , where did you get the centre stand ?

thank you doods...

the centre stand from SW-Motech.

looking good man. What crashbars are those?

They look like the Hepco-Becker ones.

I am off to SW Mototech to see about a center stand!

yes...the crashbar are from Hepco&Becker...

I apologise for giving wrong info...sorry,i think i've made a mistake about the mainstand...abit confused with the domi and my TDM.

ok,it's "Five Star"






The DRZ meter works like a charm...

I've finally fitted almost all the pegaso fairings onto the NX...except that the front low fender was from XRV750...with some added decals,the bike is hoping not to be mistaken for a pegaso...
the sideboards and tail just needed minimal mods...





what you guys think?
for the better or worst?

:huh

Looks good.

No luck finding a centre stand here , I sent off a few email enquiries and they don't make the centre stands anymore

maybe so....as 1yr ago,when i bought my mainstand for the domi that I've sold...i was told that,that was the last piece...

maybe you can try hunt for a used one...

Hey guys!


Another dommie owner here! I've got a 1996 model. Was once a beauty but some wise guy driver - who probably believes motorcycles aren't real - thought he can just pass through me! Now I'm in need of a new gas tank plus other stuff.

You guys probably know how Honda asks for about 1000euros for a new gas tank, so I thought an Acerbis replacement would be more appropriate!

Which brings me to my prolem: the Acerbis 23LT tank is no longer manufactured for my 1996 bike, and I can't find it in stock anywhere. Would any of you guys happen to know where I could get one?


Thanks!

Hi, switch! Sorry to hear about the boo-boo.

There was a group buy and last I knew there were still some left. Contact this guy:

They're US$260/ea. plus shipping, which is a heck of a lot cheaper.

Thanks for pointing that out.

One problem: he's got 88-91 tanks, I've a 96 model. I'm not so sure about the plastics fitting, not to mention the tank - chassis connectors. I'll ask though

Oh and whilst I'm here, might as well put up a few pics of my baby:





EDIT: These are before the crash. Right now it looks a lot uglier

That's because the NX was only in the US for a couple of years.

I don't know about forward-compatibility. You're on the right track asking.

hey switch...just thought you might want to know...

Since you said the stock tank will cost you 1000euros...

would you like to try on something way cheaper,bigger capacity,and yeah...cheaper...It cost at SGD$400 here in Singapore so i think it should be around USD$250ish...

I've fitted a 25ltr Acerbis tank on my '94 domi...just little easy mods...the original seat will sit nicely on the tank too...

here's a picture of it...




Well,only if you're interested than i will let you know more...
