It should be said that it's smart to vulganize those connectors and not just leave it open. It will get wet frequently which does corrode over time if not shielded properly.
Small world. I see you bought the socket from Ocean County Powersports. I worked there about 5 years ago. I used to pack and ship for the e-commerce side of the dealership. That just blew my mind. I'm planning on getting either a black nx500 or a black cb300r or maybe cb650r. I had a cbR300r for 7 years. Sold it in 2023. I miss how light and peppy that bike was. Nx500 might be too heavy for me but I like the idea of being able to tour.
Wondering why Honda skimped on such a cheap part and didn’t factory install it. I hate damaging the fairing or scratching it installing such a simple thing.
Love your content.
Loving this series!
You really only need to take off 2 Allen bolts, and 2 push pins to get enough access to the connector. No need to take any fairing off 👍🏻

The NX500 is balanced really well and because of that carries its weight well too. Best of luck on your bike search and thanks for watching...

I agree. As for the install, if you take your time, you should be able to avoid damaging anything. Best of luck and thanks for watching...
