Got my NC750X last Saturday (in red as well) and had fitted the centrestand, rad guard, hugger, Puig taller screen and Givi topbox rack. Fitted the Givi topbox from my old bike and also an MRA spoiler to the new screen which has reduced the buffeting. When funds allow will probably fit Givi panniers as well. Frunk is great, for commuting can fit everything I need in there.

They really are practical bikes. I'm glad I went for the dct ,it's brilliant. It's great adding bits to our bikes aswell, it makes them more personalised to us 😀 Thanks for watching 👀

You can get a "cargo plate" to replace the rear seat when touring without a pillion - you can then refuel with anything strapped to it !

Center stand on mine was fitted by my dealer just before I picked it up. RESULT Givi touring screen was added to replace the stock screen. Phone charger case thing that goes on my Givi screen accessories bar. Use my phone for Doris (Google Maps) and music / phone calls via Bluetooth in my Crash helmet. Got the ThunderBox and installed that so I can add more powered items as the years go by. Just added a MotoCoverz Sheepskin seat pad to stop erm..... butt cheek discomfort lol. Really comfy now. Givi Top box rack with Kappa 48l box. I am sure more will find its way on the bike in time lol Wishing you well and always upright on your two wheels.

@Crohniebiker so far, mine is helping, but I have just ordered the long hair version and asked the guys to make it a little bigger. I am making a video about both versions once the new has my butt on it for a 200 mole trip I have planned very soon.

Good extras to have….I added a radiator protector, front fender extender and a rear hugger…..bought my bike last year, the DCT version, at the time got a centre stand fitted and hand guards…..one thing has surprised me though, you just look at the screen on the bike and it just scratches, really awful in my opinion….love the bike, does everything I want and more….now to see what other goodies I might get under the wife’s radar hehe…

Great mods there Gaz and well done for fitting the main stand yourself, I succumbed and got my Honda dealer to fit mine. I like the sat nav bar, can you advise a link for it? I had the Givi one but the bar is too thin and made the sat nav vibrate so much I couldn't read the map 😩

I have fitted a centerstand, mudguard extender and rear hugger on my NC750X, I guess most owners do, but it's so stupid that we have to do that. The NC750X is Honda's practical motorcycle, why on earth doesn't it have a centerstand and functional mudguards as standard? Come on, Honda, that's not good enough!

I got a cheap satnav bar like that and it also isn't quite right. What's your stack order for the washers and welnuts under the screen? Clearly you don't want to press the screen plastic directly onto metal. Looks like you took the welnuts out and put them in through the bar struts so that rubberized top would be under the screen, then is it plastic washers and screws and that's it? No extra washers needed?
@Crohniebiker2 ай бұрын
Yes you are correct it's the black top hat rubbers touching the screen on the inside then the plastic washer and original screws holding it together.
