Here's a video showing a few things I have done to make this already brilliant bike even better for touring. let me know if you have any suggestion's, Hope you enjoy
sorry to hear your news, I'm a subcriber of yours and wish you a speedy recovery. Did you end up in Wythenshaw by any chance? That's were I went 5 years ago they have a brilliant coronary department.
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…
I've got exactly the same bike and the stock screen was rubbish above 40 mph. Fitted the givi after market tall screen and is an absolute pleasure now on the motorway. No buffering or wind raw anymore.
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 👀
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.
I have watched quite a few of your videos and have fallen in love with the NC750X and your videos Think I'll trade my BMW K1200S for an NC750X. Do you have a link to the phone holder that looks like a quad lock
@MichalJuul hi, thanks for your kind word's. I am currently in Europe on my NC750X and I have to say it's a fantastic touring bike 🏍 I don't have the link anymore for my phone holder but a quick search on ebay will come up with the right one. Thanks for watching 👍
@@Crohniebiker Thanks for your reply. I am also in Europe now. Living in Denmark City Holbaek Found the red quad and ordered for EUR 10.5 I bought the original quad lock for my motorbike a month ago and I paid EUR 134 for it
Great vid bud , thanks for sharing the info about the TomTom bracket just ordered one , did my head in too on my old Tiger Sport, picking up the New NC 750 DCT this Saturday cant wait , got a few bits already to fit myself
@@Crohniebiker Had the NC 2 days and already done over 300 miles on it absolutely love it , looking forward to getting the 1st service out of the way , The TomTom bracket has turned up today , cracking product thanks again bud , keep ,up the great work on the channel 👍
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!
@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne you can buy them online about £75-80, I bought a genuine sheepskin rug for £35 cut it to shape and sewed some elasticated straps on, works a treat
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?
Cracking vid Gaz, I'll not be on mine for a short while only had a heart attack, probably driving a car on the East Scotland👍🤢
OMG 😲 hope you make a speedy recovery 🙏 pal

Sorry to hear that Birchy. Hope you make a speedy recovery.
A fellow Sub too , wishing you a speedy recovery Paul 👍
Blimey BB wishing you all the best , did you have a stent ? I had heart attack August last year, now feel fitter than ever believe it not .

Nice video, good choices with your accessories.

Thanks for the info, I might give one a try in the future 👍
Good pratical upgrades there CB, Enjoy😎

Thanks for watching I do appreciate it.
I'm thinking about getting a sheepskin seat cover 🤔 that's the only thing that's not perfect on my bike 👍

Great vid bud , thanks for sharing the info about the TomTom bracket just ordered one , did my head in too on my old Tiger Sport, picking up the New NC 750 DCT this Saturday cant wait , got a few bits already to fit myself
That's great to hear, let me know how you get on with NC because I love mine 👍
@@Crohniebiker Will do cheers

@dalewintle8099 That's great thanks for your appreciation buddy and enjoy your NC like me 👍
Surprised the bike still moves with all that extra weight 😆
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 !
Thanks that would be useful 👍

I agree totally with that 👍
Cause they are favoring adv probably. We are the only bike with this engine having solo break disc
Personally I add a pair of fork sanction protection
I need to change the seat on my NC750X. My butt kills after 2 hours in the saddle...
I tried the airseat made the seat too high so got a sheepskin , much better no more numb butt
I hear a few people say the same,
I don't find it too bad to be honest.
Thanks for watching 👀
@@MarkB652 My brother suggested a seat cover. What make of cover do you have? Was it expensive
@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne you can buy them online about £75-80, I bought a genuine sheepskin rug for £35 cut it to shape and sewed some elasticated straps on, works a treat
You need to raise the front of the seat about 25mm !

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.
You got much planned this year Gaz?
Yes Paul got a few things in place, starting with the ABR next month and then I'm off to Croatia soon after that mate .
Hope to see you at the ABR 👍👌🍺
@@Crohniebiker argh ok then, speak to you about it at ABR then
