Oh BTW, roofed NC700X is in the final stage of tweaking. I went two night solo camping trip twice.

What a coinsidence (?) ! I am putting back my XT500 to stock (and beyond as "adventure" bike.)

Right. They don't say anything about the current draw. Hence my question. But they are dirt cheap. LOL Never thought of a fire extinguisher but if it's small enough, yeah why not.

That was my original question which no one answered. LOL Modern LED lights probably boast its brightness by showing halogen equivalent wattage, meaning 85W LED doesn't really draw 85W. I was lazy so I didn't measure the current on this "85W" LED either. LOL Besides, I have a relay.

No. It got standard H4 plug.

Not sure about newer Hondas either... I had to remove a fuel tank from 2014 NC700X. There is a "quick connect". But there is so little space between frame and the tank that I had to do it one hand. Sqeeze the thing to unlock and pull. It would be so much quicker with good old fuel hose and a clamp.

Well, I don't ride at night so no need. LOL If I end up riding at night, I will do it on the spot.

No. I bought this one which says 85W. https://www.ebay.com/itm/353428571892

Yes, "reliable" is the key. The stuff I didn't have in my Oldwing. Hopefully this 2014 NC700N will give me that. It's really quiet but quick. Hope my roofed conversion won't harm the reliability. Internal combusion engine days are numbered. When the boomer generation (I seem to be a part of it...

Sorry to hear that. Yeah, I am almost 60 so my riding years are limited also. Want to retire now and ride but this pandemic makes it really difficult to travel abroad. Thanks to the new delta variant, it may take a few more years before traveling gets pre-pandemic. I will lose my precious golden...

Does that mean you don't have a ride at all?

Wow! Thanks. This is exatcly what I was thinking about. (Plus a roof LOL) So it looks like stock handlebars will work fine. I bought the bike also. It got Montana title so now in the process of getting CA title.

Nice!

On my '82, it was inside the faux gas tank (above the air filter box)

Not yet. I will buy one this weekend (hopefully..) NC700 gets 65~70MPG so that will be great.
