How-To: Install New NCY Brake Actuator Arm

[honkerman]

Hello folks. Been ghosting a bit. Keeping an eye on you all. Still doing videos for YouTube and still riding the PCX. I’ve been tweaking the brakes a bit, vids linked. Tell me what you think.

Looks nice. I like your orange decals, definitely makes the black bike more visible and therefore safer.

Anything that improves brakes is a good thing!

Looks like adjusting the tension on the rear brake cable will be easier on the fingers than with the stock nut.

Thanks gents. Yes, the orange does help with visibility. It's not perfect because I did it myself, but it's functional.

And yes, adjusting the rear brake tensioner is so much easier now.

I was also tickled that due to the complete lack of traffic I could just stop on the road and adjust it. The empty streets are eerie.

Welcome back honkerman and thanks for your how-to video!! The Parts are cool and job Well done.
Speaking of how-to, I will be moving this thread over to that board where it will be readily found /helpful. I tweaked your title too

I'm just now recalling how You always were interested in feedback on your video's sound quality. Well truth is I'm still hearing interference, (sorry). Does cut and splicing cause noise? Above all, I'm sure a lot of noise comes from wearing an open faced helmet - 3/4 or bucket (please lie if it was a bucket Were you wearing a 3/4 in the video?

Nuff with the sound quality, the video itself was great and so were you! Very helpful and Sweet parts installed. Like button.
The orange rocks!! Ride safe and Stay well young man esp during this horrific Pandemic.

I wear a full closed face helmet. At higher speeds there is some wind noise but a lot of it is just the pipe. There’s nothing for it so I do most of my conversation at lower speeds with the visor down. I’ve compared to a lot of the other vids out there and they are all about the same when traveling above 40 MPH or so.

I almost posted in how-to but wasn’t sure if it qualifies.

The new parts are very nice. I am pleased with them.
