Honda NC750X DCT ... mods and accessories... and what i keep in the frunk. 

Thank you! I love it.

Nice! A fellow PNW NC750X rider! I agree with everything you said. The NC is a great one bike all rounder but is also perfect for a 2 bike garage. Use the NC as the workhorse commuter and then a second bike for whatever other type of riding. Personally I do longer trips on my NC because its so dang comfortable and easy with storage but my 2nd bike is an XSR900 for fun, speed, and pure aesthetics.

Lol! Trust me, there is a point when you will complete all the mods and you won't need anything but the open road! The seat was definitely the crown jewel for me. I've heard lots of good things about clearwater lights! I'd like to try them someday. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thank you! And congrats! Such a great bike! Ride safe and have fun.

Thanks! Yes I highly recommend it!

Thank you! Honestly I think I'm at the end of modding it. I took care of all the bits that I wanted to. Maybe just fender extenders and thats it.I love it too.

I think you need a rear hugger for the weather up there. I have a 2019 and have had fun making modifications and additions too. I really like those adjustable LED lights on your front fender. Any chance you have footage of those at night?

@@morgantalbert7103 Rear hugger is a good idea! We're just starting our rainy season now. Over the next week I'll try and do a video of my lights at night. The DRLs are mostly for conspicuity rather than throwing light down a long road but when I've got them on high they really illuminate the whole area in front of the bike.

Thanks for watching.

Nicely done. Yea it's very rewarding to do installs like that yourself. It really helps you bond with the bike.

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Thanks. I did a fair amount of research in a short amount of time because I wanted to dial in all the mods before winter. But unfortunately I don't know anything about a TFT replacement screen. I don't mind the LCD but that might be because I've never had a TFT before. Luckily it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the bike. Good luck with your search though!

Thanks. I never tried the Honda OEM touring screen but yes this 24" madstaad is taller and it just barely keeps all the air off my helmet so a shorter screen wouldn't cut it for me.

Right!! Glad I'm not the only one. That ratchet strap and spring could have badly bruised a body part or taken my eye out if I slipped. So the 2" bar risers are an ordeal. Not gonna lie. Took me about 6 hours and half of that is simply removing and reinstalling body panels. The left hand cables have enough slack if you slide them to slightly different spots but then on the right side, in order to have enough cable slack you have to redirect the right brake reservoir cable from over the triple tree to under the triple tree by threading it through the triple tree and it only fits at a particular angle when the right brake lever is removed. Then after you thread it through, there's a LOT more slack and you can reinstall the right brake reservoir onto the handlebar, reattach the brake lever and voila. That is the pain in the ass but once it's done then its rock solid and 100% safe. As long as you tighten all bolts well and then re tighten again if necessary after a few days of riding.

Thanks Ben. That's helpful information. @@TheDreamcycles

Thanks! I've thought about equipping one in the past but I wasn't convinced that it would be reliable so I just top off my tires once a week.

@@TheDreamcycles I put in a cheap Amazon one and it works pretty well. I just used that stiffer velcro stuff to lock it into the underside of the frunk lid in one of the concavities. Still fits my helmet and checking pressure is easy when I open it up to grab my gloves or whatever at every stop.

I'm glad you like that quote. I hope it sounds as good in Korean. The e-clutch is really interesting. So far it's just on the cb650r and cbr650. It seems to be one step above an up/down quickshifter but not all the way automatic like the DCT. Personally I would still take the DCT but if I had a choice between up/down quickshifter and e clutch then I would choose the e clutch. There's no such thing as the perfect bike but for me, if I could have only one bike to do everything from quick grocery shopping in the city, to commuting daily, to touring across the country then the NC750x is as close as it gets and that's why it's my forever bike.

No need to get new cables. And I can highly recommend the custom seat from Top Sellerie. Its very professional and fits perfectly and has a very thoughtful design with the lower back rest but I'm sure a domestic reupholsterer could do a good job too.

@@TheDreamcycles Thanks for that description. I'd read some of that before. On the NC700 forums there are also guys who said the 2" were no big deal at all to put on the newer DCT. Can it be these are being delivered with variable cable lengths? I have some 30mm up 20mm back risers that seem like they will go w/o much more than unhooking cables from tiedowns, but I didn't install them yet. I mocked them up and cables seemed tight-ish. If I get that selle tall seat I'll need to. I plotted the geometry and the 30 / 20 risers get me 14.5mm lower than the straight 50mm would. (Can't find any 50s on ebay or aliexpress these days. They're so cheap I'd buy them just in case.) Back to the seat, the domestic guys, I just checked have raised prices again. They want $550 to $750 just to redo the front with an existing seat pan. That's quite a lot. Looks like they also tend to be widening them substantially to fit larger US backsides (which I don't have.) I will probably go with the Top Sellerie. I'm 6'3" with long legs and didn't really do any comfort mods on my bike yet. Thought my legs would be sore because they're folded pretty tight, but when riding it doesn't seem to bug me. Only complaint is butt soreness after a while, but I notice I get that anywhere else as well, car, stadium padded chair, folding camping chair... I've only ridden up to like 250m / day in hour-ish shifts, and my butt was fine, better after I put a 3d mesh pad on it that just breathed a little bit. Does that quilted cover pattern seem to allow for any airflow below?

No, unfortunately both the manual and automatic don't come with cruise control.

Hey! Thanks for watching! So, to be honest, I don't have a lot of opinions about tires. I've had 8 different bikes and never found a set of tires that I didn't like but it all depends on the terrain you're on. My CB750X has Metzeler Tourrance Next tires and they have been just fine. On previous bikes I have opted for Michelin Road tires as they seem to be good with the damper conditions in Seattle. That's all I can really say. Sorry but thanks for watching!

No, it doesn't shake. The navigation bar which is part of the Madstaad wind screen fitting is super solid. The only thing that wobbles a little bit is the anti-vibration quad lock charger which ironically it is designed to do to prevent the high frequency micro vibrations that can occur. But to answer your question, no, it doesn't shake.

From Top Sellerie in Paris. Link is in the description.

I paid $390 for the tallest option (24"). Here is the link: madstad.com/products/adjustable-windshield-system-for-honda-nc700x-nc750x-2021-up

I did the high and long. For more room to the foot pegs and more room for my arms.

have you looked into getting saddle bags? i’m trying to get bags, but looks like people only make cases

@@daveisabtch3788 I think Honda makes hard side cases. I think Givi does too. To be honest, I haven't needed more storage than the top box so far. Some side case racks look better than others when you don't have the side cases on I still maintain that the Honda one looks the cleanest but it is definitely the most expensive.

Hello to the Netherlands! 👋 Here is the link to the givi top plate bracket that connects the Honda OEM rear rack and a Givi top box. Keep in mind that the picture on revzilla is not accurate. It actually looks more like a flat, grey, metal plate. And the Honda OEM rear rack doesn't come with the bike. You have to buy that separately. I hope that helps!

Thank you verry much! Greetings, Eric

@flexywing New seat vendor is here: www.topsellerie.com/en-sa/honda-nc-750-x-2021_1515.html

Here's the link to the gel pad. The size small fits onto the original seat pretty perfectly. www.onlygel.com/products/conformax-ultra-flex-motorcycle-gel-seat-cushion-small?gclid=CjwKCAiAmZGrBhAnEiwAo9qHiVODKKkse8L06uDiOn7eu276I-kr3DFHoLko-4L3guzXs_uTPUKVERoCrcYQAvD_BwE

Nope, not for this bike. Maybe if I had clamp-on bars and it was a supersport racer but it's not necessary for this type of riding in my opinion.

@@TheDreamcycles I thought so also however there is a possibility of always hitting something on the road like wildlife or rocks or debris on the road. I think I see the steering dampener mounting holes behind and on the inside of the where the fork is close to the fuel tank.

@@gs-nt6nf Yes I suppose that's true. I don't have any experience with steering dampeners and I don't know about the mounting points so I can't confirm. Luckily I've never had any issue so knock on wood.

@@TheDreamcycles YSS makes a linear steering damper for the 2022 Honda CB500X and it mounts right next to the fork and in front of the fuel tank, two mounting bolts there and two mounting bolts on the handlebars and damper hooked up to handlebar. Looks like a non-invasive install job. Hopefully they will make one for the NC750X soon, it could mount in the same place. I saw a guy crash on RU-vid because he bounced off the curb and bike did the tank slapping enough to throw rider off. Hopefully a damper can reduce that type of crash.

The seat is from Top Sellerie here: www.topsellerie.com/en-sa/seats-petrol-tank-covers-tank-bags-leg-handgrip-covers-motorbike-scooter.html

I'll get around to that soon. Just let me know if you need a specific link in the meantime and I'll share it.

@@TheDreamcycles. That seat is beautiful! A link to that would be a great time saver.

@@rickseibel5904 Thanks! Just added a link. And here you go: www.topsellerie.com/en-sa/honda-nc-750-x-2021_1515.html

But... They all have an important function.
