Nice video. I have a nc750s. For sure the things you mention may improve the experience, but i did not feel the need of these. My top accessories: 1. A chain oiler, for simplicity i have the cobra nemo which is also the cheapest beside Ali clones 2. Usb charging socket and phone mount also ali under10€ 3. This winter i will install heatet grips. Chosen koso around 60€ I also have ali radiator cover for under 10€ and think of a rear mudguard but the price fir a piece of plastic is ridiculous, or a sleeve for suspension Regards!
@@aGentleUser I appreciate your feedback! Step by step we come to a Top 20 must haves 😁😁😁. I forgot about the 12V charger....I installed also on my bike. Greetings!
For me only 2 most important must haves. 1. Rear hugger to protect rear shock from road grime and mud. 2. Radiator cover. Even the cheapest is better than nothing.
They can make it, but every time it seems to me that the accessories manufactureres have to gain some money also. This is how we can explain perhaps that the bikes are so "empty" by default. Greetings
The Honda Deauville was/is superbly equipped for cold, wet weather riding - huge screen, shaft drive, low seat, heated grips. Of course, everyone said it was a boring bike which is probably why they eventually ditched it.
Yes, thanks for the informations, I have some of this modification on my bike, this includes; - the radiator cover - the handle bar guard, - rear mud guard
Also owner, 20k km so far, very reliable, low consumption, very underpowered, excellent bike for commuting, fairly good for medium/long travelling. Definitely not for offroad (!!), too heavy, no wheels, no suspension, etc, only do it if you intend to ruin your bike... Top essential mods imho, - Top Sellerie seat, the best - WRS windscreen, excellent, no buff, combine it with Batzen adjustable screen mount, both compatible with oem hand guards (enough for weather protection), - SW-Motech 25mm barbacks (for comfortable seating position), no more than 25mm because of cable slack, - Oem centerstand. All other really depends on your riding habits, location, etc. Side note, tipped over my bike couple times, no need for crashbars. If a crash bends the radiator, this will be the least of your problems... Cheers!
This is just my opinion, but for longer ride, your current windshield is already the best, because at the top side it bended, makes the wind surely goes higher above your helmet thus makes the wind buffeting on helmet is minimum than the more flat shaped from givi or the original one which i think might let the wind escape at a lower level and prone to hit your helmet more.. Also, a raiser is very much worth it, it makes riding much more comfortable 👍
I have the S model, got the hand guards, heated grips, bigger screen, rad protector, full panniers and top box, sports exhaust and soon a scott oiler. Defo gonna get the crash bar, better foot pegs and fog lights. Not worried about the seat as I'm quite small and dont notice the push forward as much as a taller rider. Great list video btw
OEM center stand. Got it wth the bike. Really think all bikes should come with them. I also think a skid plate under the bike should be in the top ten for this bike.
Ideed Vance, I was thinking to put it also in the top ten, there are some nice options for it: But I will put it here: - SW Motech makes it, costs arround 300$ and you hace to consider that there are 2 versions of it: one for DCT and other for the normal clutch www.twistedthrottle.com/sw-motech-skidplate-for-honda-nc700-nc750-1 - Altrider has also for 300$ a skid plate www.cyclegear.com/parts/altrider-skid-plate-honda-nc700x-nc750x - Givi makes it but could not find the link, perhaps you can find it Even they say they fit you must check the compatibility with the Main Stand, perhaps you have to make some small adjustments. Hope this helps!
@@stefanstefcio I have to check that! There were some issues with the center stand, it should be checked before every ride that the screws are tighten enough
I don't know if they are available for the 750 but on my 700 I had a set of Honda, winglets, for want of a better description. They fit under the seat and noticeably reduce the amount of dirt being thrown up from the rear wheel and hitting the rider. They weren't too expensive at about £40 if memory serves and being genuine Honda they fitted.
Brilliant video and content, this must have taken you a long time to prepare and look up all items which you then listed. I appreciate it and subbed you.
That's right. The Givi windscreen is better than the original Honda part, but it conflicts with the Honda hand protectors. But the Honda hand protectors are also an option, so the best bet is to buy the Givi windsheild AND the Give hand protectors. I started with the NC 700X DCT in 2016 and at 16,000 trouble free miles, I bought the NC 750X DCT for the extra power and electronic torque control. I can notice and love the extra power, but the I hate the torque control and just turn it off unless the roads are wet. I also changed the foot pegs, by coincidence using the same German made pegs recommended in this TH-cam video. They cost around $100, but have the removable rubber cushions, as shown here. Regarding the "crash bar," Honda calls it a "Light Bar" to avoid, I imagine, the liability of giving the impression it will protect the rider in a crash. Quite by accident, I put it to the test. It protected the fairing and frunk quite well, and I think it also protected my legs in the initial impact and slide with the pavement. The radiator was barely damaged, but don't worry, the insurance coverage for the Uber driver that whacked me will pay for that and everything else, including the broken hand and foot that were not protected by the Aerostich Roadcrafter (Let's see just how DEEP those pockets are!). But I digress. I love the NC 750X DCT. If you really want to manually shift, use the bike's paddle-shifters, just like in modern high performance sports cars. But when you want to just ride, its nice to let it run through the gears for you. it calculates the shift points and completes the shift faster than I can, so no loss of performance. One more comment on accessories. I've got the Honda trunk and hard side cases. Its all good EXCEPT that the trunk mounts so close to the passenger that it pushes the passenger forward, causing passenger to be pushing into your back, making the rider lean forward, which is okay for a little while, but completely eliminates this set up for day rides. I am looking into going with Givi for the trunk, as it appears the Givi mounts farther back. I also agree with the recommendation to change the seat. As is, the seat is perfect for my commute, encouraging a slight forward lean close to the tank. But, again, for long rides, go with an aftermarket seat that will provide a broader width and more upright position.
I put the givi windscreen but is not tall enough for me and i dont like the end off the screen is close to your face to much to the rear and not to the sky..
Hi, it's a very helpful review, but I have for you the nr.11 :-). There is Skid Plate Engine Guard Chassis Protection Cover. If you go to the offroad, that is must-haves!
It’s very useful video. Your pronunciation is very clear. I did subscribe your channel already. Hopefully, you will make many videos about your bike and your riding bike trip. ;)
Great video thank you for making it i find that Givi are the best accessory as their tolerances never failed me when it came to fitting them on both my CB500 X and my NC750 X. Once again good work.
Hi Joseph! Thanks for taking the time to reply! Indeed, as I test it, the Givi Accessories are quite good. Also SW MOTECH comes strong from behind, they are also quite good!
Just subscribed! Liking your videos as I have a 2018 Honda NC 750XDCT and am looking for additional accessories..I have a windshield from Madstad Engineering and love it. It really helps with wind protection...Now I'm looking for Crash bars, side cases, definitely a new seat because the stock one is kinda uncomfortable as I ride for hours because I just love my bike😉😁😀❤
Hi there and thank you for the comment and support! As you noticed already made an update video with some of the installed accessories, I will make new ones as soon as new accessories are installed and I can offer you a personal real test feedback. Greetings! 👍🏍
Hello. Yes excellent to the point video. One question i do have the crash bars i have the heed ones with the spotlight bracket already drilled out. My question is have you ever come across anyone with these and what led ( spotlights ) have they fitted . many thanks ...
Hi, interesting video, I've subscribed, good luck with the channel. I have a 2015 NC750X, Givi rack, panniers, and engine bars. I like them they fit and are very good quality. I've fitted cheap bar risers off ebay, I had to spray them black and they do the job. Sat Nav and Iphone mounts are Ram and fit onto extended handlebar bolts, perfect! I've got barkbuster handguards they're expensive, good quality and they fit. I had a Puig tall screen and didn't like it so I bought a taller one (can't remember the brand name), I've kept the Puig wind deflector which will fit on any screen and allows you to adjust the airflow over the top of the screen, it's noisy in some wind conditions though. I've also bought a cheap radiator shield because the previous owner of the bike got the radiator damaged when a nut or bolt was thrown up by the tyre. An original radiator is £500 in the UK, I got a made in China one off Amazon for £140 which is brilliant! My next accessories will be higher output headlight bulb, driving lights, and charging socket. The NC is a lovely bike and makes me laugh when I see 99.9 miles per gallon on the instrument cluster readout, fuel economy is superb, ride quality is good too. I bought an accessory seat cushion which sits on top of the original and improves the comfort level but would like a properly modified comfy seat. I would also recommend a front fender extender and some form of rear mudguard which will fit on the swingarm.
All 10 ticks with me. Installed but 14:23 doesn't make sense since you're bothered with mud below rear seat and that back mud protect will not help you because of the tire / hydrodynamics. It will still spray up.
I like this bike but I also like an aggressive looking bike. This bike needs a bigger front tyre. Is this possible without affecting the balance or safety?
Hi Avron! I Asked at the dealer for that, bigger tyre and spoked wheels, it can be done technically but with enormous costs, you can buy directly a bigger bike😂. To resume it: yes you can buy it's very expensive. Hope this helps!
Another good video. Thanks! My accessories are being fitted as I write this, so I can't report yet if I chose good stuff. I'm still crossing my fingers. But the dealer did warn me against the forward facing back mudguard (the ones that protect the monoshock, not the rider behind me). I'm told that the old stuff doesn't fit the 2019 model, so now I'm planning to recycle an old foam rubber mouse mat, cut down to size so it fits loosely around the rear spring. I will just lace up the seam with a couple of tie wraps. That should keep the dirt off the bit that matters, and saves quite a lot of cash. I figure if it holds up in the first week it will be good for a few years. I'll let you know.
@@IdealBike I've spent countless hours watching your videos over the past few days as I'm in the market for a bike. I have also watched countless other videos on the NC 750 x, I must say this video is the best on TH-cam regarding upgrades and mods, it even increased my excitement about the bike! I hope Honda is aware of what a great ambassador you are! Because of you, I'm leaning towards buying this bike! You should be commended! Please keep posting videos! BTW, loved your video with Pavlin!
For the front mud guard why not just use an old car mud flap cut it to shape and rivet or use nuts and bolts to hold it to the back of the front mud guard. Much cheaper and very effective all you need do is drill a few holes in the original mud guard and make a small metal bracket for the plastic. As for the rear problem of splashing, as there is already a perfectly good system in place, why not just coat the underside where the rain splashes up with some non stick solution rain repellent that is used on some cars, the mud and dirt will not stick to it and thus problem solved much cheaper. You just coat it every so often and problem solved, it doesn't stop the water from splashing but it stops the dirt from sticking, they use similar stuff on buildings and glass.
@@IdealBike Don't forget you might need to make a small or couple of small metal brackets to keep the home made mud flap from ending up under your front tire as the bumping may make it flap around a bit, but that's easy enough to make and cut out yourself, it depends on the thickness or rigidity of the material you are using.
Ideal Bike there is a guy on youtube MikeFreeRiderGagne showing his honda nc750x with 160000km ... he did some very good upgrading to suspension and skid plate under engine but in Thailand
I know Turgut, actually we have to consider that there could be an agreement between the manufacturers and the accessories producers, they all have to win somehow and we pay the price 🙄 We could just leave thr bike as it is and live with it... if we didn't wanna spend money. Still the prices are quite high that's fkr sure. GREETINGS!
The "original crash-bar" is not crash-bar at all and it is not sold by Honda as crash-bar but "additional lights holder". It seems "adventure" but does not give you any security for the bike. Look for some real crash-bar, check thickness of the tubes and how robust the connection to bike frame is.

I have the Givi crash bars + led fog lights, and can definitely recommend them! I don't recommend the Rossocromo full encasing of the chain, get's fiddly when cleaning the chain. Also, watch out when fitting the Givi windscreen with any handprotectors than their own; they just don't fit.
We appreciate for taking the time and sharing with us. Thanks for reminding that the Givi Windshield doesn't fits some of the Handguards (like Barkbusters for ex.)
Thanks for all the pointers!!! I own the exact same model, even the same colour. At this point I should mention I upgraded my brake / clutch levers to short levers which is much more comfortable. Also, the exhaust was upgraded to a free-flow minus the catalytic converter and baffles. The cruising speed acceleration smothering feeling vanished when I got the free-flow and the fuel consumption decreased by 20%. Overall, an amazing bike
Hi there ! Thanks a lot for sharing all that, it is very interesting how the fuel consumption decreased, could you give us more details regarding the free-flow and the baffles? These changes are affecting somehow the engine on a long term use? Greetings !
@@IdealBike Haha the lack off baffles just make for some nice, loud driving. Cutting out the catalytic converter and upgrading the tailpiece to a freeflow means less back-pressure on the system. Less back-pressure means less fuel has to be burned. I have a South African brand, Barker Exhaust Systems pipe (approx 300 USD) and the fuel consumption's before and after stats is 28km/L compared to now 35km/L.
It does work very well. It is SO big though. Feels like the vibrations and force put on the mounts/cockpit is going to break it off. Also not happy with mounting hardware starting to rust within a month for that price (although I can easily fix that). I'm going to experiment with a smaller bracket to raise/lower the standard screen. If that works, my Madstad is for sale :)
Hello, can be that you need some bar risers and make the rear spring higher. Why not making a custom confortable seat and higher it a little bit, it should be perfect. Greetings!
I own a 2014 model of the NC750X with these accessories: Genuine Honda products: - Heated grips (very nice, strongly recommended) - 12 V outlet in the front compartment (nothing fancy here, but very useful for mobile and/or navigation system) - 45 l top box with back rest for the co-driver (a real must-have in my opinion) - 29 l panniers kit (not necessary unless traveling with the bike) - Inner bags for top box and panniers kit (helps getting things in and out quickly) - main stand (no bike should be made without it) Other manufacturers' products - Tiremoni tire pressure monitoring system (every vehicle should be equipped with such a system; shop.tiremoni.com/en/motorcycle-accessories/tyres-rims/tyre-pressure-monitoring-system-for-cruiser-bike-tm-4100/a-286/) - SW-Motech crash bar (proved already to do its job well; sw-motech.com/en/bike/HONDA/NC750X/2014/RC72/products/protection/crash+bar/4052572056288.htm) - RAM Mounts holder (holds my precious mobile securely; www.rammount.com/part/RAM-HOL-UN10BU) - Win Power LED bulb (replaces the standard H4 bulb and is effectively illegal, but offers an amazing increase of active and passive visibility; www.amazon.de/dp/B07SN39LTX) - Akrapovic slip-on exhaust (the difference between men and boys is the price for their toys... ;-) www.akrapovic.com/en/moto/product/16668/Honda/NC-700-750X/2014/Slip-On-Line-Carbon?brandId=30&modelId=131&yearId=577 ) In total, I would not want to miss any of them. Additional handguards might be cool, though I do not really need them. Riding only on paved roads, I am also fine with the original footrests and neither see a necessity for additional protection of the radiator or the like.
Its not a bad must have review for this bike, but you are very far away from all staff what you really need for this bike. I have now 3 year the NC750X DCT version - year 2017 - and you was not sad about a chain oiler nothing. I have Scottoiler v-system installed with dual injektor after 1000 km service, now i have over 35000 km and still the original chain because the oiler. This is a very importatnt accesories. You also not mentioned the Givi MG1109 Motorcycle Mudguard for back wheel, this protect your back suspencion and its also a chain guard and the "Eye Car" Motor Rear Wheel Mudguard Fender witsh ist much cheeper and better then a givi. I have a Puig windscreen but with small wind protector on the top original from puig ordered together, this have a better wind protection, after i also installd the Wind Shield Adjustment and whit this adjuster you can make higher or lower your windschild. i am 188 cm high and i have a good wind protection. I also bought a handle heating from oxford, and also a givi hand protector, and its fit with Puig windshield. I have also the givi craschbar and this is the best choice. I have also Central stander original from Honda working good, and a lot af mor accesories. In the future i will make a good video from my bike, later a will upload a small presentation. Now i suscribe for your channel, please can you also suscribe on my channel. Thank you for your help.
Wow 😁😁😁😁 I know that the accessories list can be Endless, easily you can make the TOP 100 must haves... Stil I had to stop at 10, this was only my opinion. Subscribed 👍
Good job ! Already subscribed. Once I'm in Romania for vacation I would like to meet you for a ride. Btw: I took the higher Crash Bars from Heed (PL). Suitable for NC700 as well for the NC750 series (all model).

Mersi Mihai, pe cuvânt că mi-a stat pe creier când am revăzut videoclipul !!! 😁😁😁. Mă bucur mult că te-ai gândit să îmi atragi atenția, apreciez sincer!
i've got shad , and I'm prefer airhawk pad. because shad after a few months becomes to soft foam , you can check zipxer46 chanel .. he talks a lot about.
do you have a link for this ? Having spent £210 for a Shad seat I would be very interested to see the comments even though I have already bought the seat 😳😳😳
The Kawasaki CONCOURS® 1400 it is a great looking bike but the price it is double than the NC750X...even if I buy all accessories in the world for the NC I cannot reach the price of the CONCOURS®. Still is not a bad ideea to check an older one. Greetings !
It’s a 2 cylinder motor which is engineered for torque and fuel efficiency. You get the best acceleration shifting well before redline. Judging from your comment, this bike isn’t for you. For most people, this will make them more than happy.
@@IdealBike that was lucky. Couple years ago I came off from my cbr 1100xx at a very low speed and damaged both radiators, broke off the alluminium footrest right hand side, broke engine case. Wish I had crash bars

is there a kit to move the mirrors out front off the windshield like the R3 system. Tmax front mirrors are so nice !
I know what you mean, I just loved how the mirrors are positioned at Forza750. Sadly nothing came yet for the Nc750x
do they make for the nc760x honda motorcy. 2021 model ? The Tmax and forza have out front; what a difference.
Great video thank you for making it i find that Givi are the best accessory as their tolerances never failed me when it came to fitting them on both my CB500 X and my NC750 X. Once again good work.
Hi Joseph! Thanks for taking the time to reply! Indeed, as I test it, the Givi Accessories are quite good. Also SW MOTECH comes strong from behind, they are also quite good!
The biggest issues was riding around the 1hr mark the knee position hurts; is there a front pegs upgrade?
Yes there is, on Aliexpress
R3 type windshield brackets to move the mirrors out front is my first fix ! so ez to view out front. .
Just subscribed! Liking your videos as I have a 2018 Honda NC 750XDCT and am looking for additional accessories..I have a windshield from Madstad Engineering and love it. It really helps with wind protection...Now I'm looking for Crash bars, side cases, definitely a new seat because the stock one is kinda uncomfortable as I ride for hours because I just love my bike😉😁😀❤
Hi there and thank you for the comment and support! As you noticed already made an update video with some of the installed accessories, I will make new ones as soon as new accessories are installed and I can offer you a personal real test feedback. Greetings! 👍🏍
Does anyone have sw-motech center stand on their nc700/750x? What is your experience?
will usa/eu and asia models bee the same height ; for the center stand/ kickstand ?
i hear in the past the 750 can ctx700 were a bit lower.
The same.
Hello. Yes excellent to the point video. One question i do have the crash bars i have the heed ones with the spotlight bracket already drilled out. My question is have you ever come across anyone with these and what led ( spotlights ) have they fitted . many thanks ...
Hello, Max! Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, I didn't encountered that crash bars cannot answer 😔 Greetings!
for fenders, also check ut Pyramid plastics! They have very nice products for a good price.
Thanks, I sold my bike last year, now I'm looking for some accessories for the new bike, the 2023 Honda Transalp
Do you know of any "extended" forward foot pegs? I am 6 ft 4 inches tall. Love the bike but interested in stretching legs.....
I know what you mean, never searched for those, I've stuck still to these "36 positions" sw motech foot pegs. Greetings
Hi, interesting video, I've subscribed, good luck with the channel. I have a 2015 NC750X, Givi rack, panniers, and engine bars. I like them they fit and are very good quality. I've fitted cheap bar risers off ebay, I had to spray them black and they do the job. Sat Nav and Iphone mounts are Ram and fit onto extended handlebar bolts, perfect! I've got barkbuster handguards they're expensive, good quality and they fit. I had a Puig tall screen and didn't like it so I bought a taller one (can't remember the brand name), I've kept the Puig wind deflector which will fit on any screen and allows you to adjust the airflow over the top of the screen, it's noisy in some wind conditions though. I've also bought a cheap radiator shield because the previous owner of the bike got the radiator damaged when a nut or bolt was thrown up by the tyre. An original radiator is £500 in the UK, I got a made in China one off Amazon for £140 which is brilliant! My next accessories will be higher output headlight bulb, driving lights, and charging socket. The NC is a lovely bike and makes me laugh when I see 99.9 miles per gallon on the instrument cluster readout, fuel economy is superb, ride quality is good too. I bought an accessory seat cushion which sits on top of the original and improves the comfort level but would like a properly modified comfy seat. I would also recommend a front fender extender and some form of rear mudguard which will fit on the swingarm.
Thanks a lot for your input! Really appreciate it! Greetings!
All 10 ticks with me. Installed but 14:23 doesn't make sense since you're bothered with mud below rear seat and that back mud protect will not help you because of the tire / hydrodynamics. It will still spray up.
I like this bike but I also like an aggressive looking bike. This bike needs a bigger front tyre. Is this possible without affecting the balance or safety?
Hi Avron! I Asked at the dealer for that, bigger tyre and spoked wheels, it can be done technically but with enormous costs, you can buy directly a bigger bike😂.
To resume it: yes you can buy it's very expensive.
Hope this helps!
That is simply a very handsome bike. Id like to see Honda develop the line, maybe introduce some variants.
There are some hand guards which incorporate fog lights which look very nice and do away with the need for mounting bars etc
@@vernonfewtrell5735 Brilliant. I prefer lights that mount high on the bike and more inline with rearview mirrors on cars so they can see you better.
are the Kobra Handguards compatible with the Puig touring windscreen?
Hello, yes they are.
Another good video. Thanks! My accessories are being fitted as I write this, so I can't report yet if I chose good stuff. I'm still crossing my fingers. But the dealer did warn me against the forward facing back mudguard (the ones that protect the monoshock, not the rider behind me). I'm told that the old stuff doesn't fit the 2019 model, so now I'm planning to recycle an old foam rubber mouse mat, cut down to size so it fits loosely around the rear spring. I will just lace up the seam with a couple of tie wraps. That should keep the dirt off the bit that matters, and saves quite a lot of cash. I figure if it holds up in the first week it will be good for a few years. I'll let you know.
Thank you a lot for sharing with us! I also order myself some of the Top 10 still waiting to recieve it and get back to you with feedback. Greetings!
When can I buy my rear brake pedal. I bent it hard.

Thanks man, really appreciate your feedback! Greetings 👍
@@IdealBike I've spent countless hours watching your videos over the past few days as I'm in the market for a bike. I have also watched countless other videos on the NC 750 x, I must say this video is the best on TH-cam regarding upgrades and mods, it even increased my excitement about the bike! I hope Honda is aware of what a great ambassador you are! Because of you, I'm leaning towards buying this bike! You should be commended! Please keep posting videos! BTW, loved your video with Pavlin!
Thank you! I will try do my best 🙏
Pyramid Plastics makes good front and rear fenders
Yes. I have one on my BMW RT
nicely done thanks for the video!
For the front mud guard why not just use an old car mud flap cut it to shape and rivet or use nuts and bolts to hold it to the back of the front mud guard.
Much cheaper and very effective all you need do is drill a few holes in the original mud guard and make a small metal bracket for the plastic.
As for the rear problem of splashing, as there is already a perfectly good system in place, why not just coat the underside where the rain splashes up with some non stick solution rain repellent that is used on some cars, the mud and dirt will not stick to it and thus problem solved much cheaper.
You just coat it every so often and problem solved, it doesn't stop the water from splashing but it stops the dirt from sticking, they use similar stuff on buildings and glass.
Thank you! Quite an interesting and cheap solution I will try it for sure before buy the radiator guard and mud protectors !
@@IdealBike Don't forget you might need to make a small or couple of small metal brackets to keep the home made mud flap from ending up under your front tire as the bumping may make it flap around a bit, but that's easy enough to make and cut out yourself, it depends on the thickness or rigidity of the material you are using.
honda did that on the x500 also; crash bars are way to close to protect anything; need added sliders !
Not really, check out my video with lifting the bike.
Hi. Any suspension kit rear and fork for better off road riding is it possible ? I m considering to buy one to ride from Oslo to Romania this summer .
Hi there, need to make some comprehensive research and recommendations and I will get back to you. Greetings!
Ideal Bike there is a guy on youtube MikeFreeRiderGagne showing his honda nc750x with 160000km ... he did some very good upgrading to suspension and skid plate under engine but in Thailand
Ouch I am depressed hearing of these prices :)
Thank you for a very useful video.. I would add a two-way alarm as the #11 must have.
I know Turgut, actually we have to consider that there could be an agreement between the manufacturers and the accessories producers, they all have to win somehow and we pay the price 🙄 We could just leave thr bike as it is and live with it... if we didn't wanna spend money. Still the prices are quite high that's fkr sure. GREETINGS!
A wonderful, well presented video.
Thank you appreciate it 👍
very informative, thanks 👍🏼
no place for rear sliders unless you hadd panier brackets; or add the top box.
Great Video, just subscribed.
Thank you Steve, appreciate that 🙏
are all of these compatible with older models? like 2014 model or something
Not really
The "original crash-bar" is not crash-bar at all and it is not sold by Honda as crash-bar but "additional lights holder". It seems "adventure" but does not give you any security for the bike. Look for some real crash-bar, check thickness of the tubes and how robust the connection to bike frame is.
Did you consider a radiator guard? It appears to take a fair bit of abuse as well, and considering the price>>>> Thanks for the video.
I've purchased one, check the rest of my the accessories videos. I have Evotech Performance
I don't want handlebar risers because i am quite tall. I wan't some steps so i can sit with stratcht legs
Hi there, you can choose the Sw-Motech Evo pegs, they are adjustable (36 positions)
floor boards a must. , center stand.
I added my 2016 NC750XD with the higher crash bars from Heed (PL). Luckily not needed yet.
Thanks a lot for sharing, we can include then in this video description. Greetings !
Thank you. Very helpful.

I have the Givi crash bars + led fog lights, and can definitely recommend them! I don't recommend the Rossocromo full encasing of the chain, get's fiddly when cleaning the chain.
Also, watch out when fitting the Givi windscreen with any handprotectors than their own; they just don't fit.
We appreciate for taking the time and sharing with us. Thanks for reminding that the Givi Windshield doesn't fits some of the Handguards (like Barkbusters for ex.)
Hello there... What type of fog lights do you have please?
Thank you, Petr
Mud Flap installed on Front Fender would eliminate Mud on Radiator...
Did you price out the panniers and a top box?
Hi ! I will add them on the video description, The list can be endless we could have also Top 30 must haves 😁 Greetings!
Heated grips... my #1
I did not wanted those at the beginning, but I have realised that are a real MUST !
Heated grips
Oxford îs the Best
70 - 90 eur
You are right, these are the most popular.
Owned 2 sets. Both left hand failed after a few months of use. Premium controller failed almost immediately.
What do you know. I have them all. In all also have the sw motech skid guard.
The skidplate it's my next buy. ✌️
@@IdealBike Goodluck. SW motech has not shipped them since last September
Thanks for all the pointers!!! I own the exact same model, even the same colour. At this point I should mention I upgraded my brake / clutch levers to short levers which is much more comfortable. Also, the exhaust was upgraded to a free-flow minus the catalytic converter and baffles. The cruising speed acceleration smothering feeling vanished when I got the free-flow and the fuel consumption decreased by 20%. Overall, an amazing bike
Hi there ! Thanks a lot for sharing all that, it is very interesting how the fuel consumption decreased, could you give us more details regarding the free-flow and the baffles? These changes are affecting somehow the engine on a long term use? Greetings !
@@IdealBike Haha the lack off baffles just make for some nice, loud driving. Cutting out the catalytic converter and upgrading the tailpiece to a freeflow means less back-pressure on the system. Less back-pressure means less fuel has to be burned. I have a South African brand, Barker Exhaust Systems pipe (approx 300 USD) and the fuel consumption's before and after stats is 28km/L compared to now 35km/L.
@@Igwe need to check that on my next service, thanks!
@@IdealBike I guess the proof is in the pudding. instagram.com/p/B7S8zBDjSeW/?
If you want a decent windshield, buy the Madstad. Best there is. AND THATS A FACT !
Thank you for the tip !
It does work very well. It is SO big though. Feels like the vibrations and force put on the mounts/cockpit is going to break it off. Also not happy with mounting hardware starting to rust within a month for that price (although I can easily fix that). I'm going to experiment with a smaller bracket to raise/lower the standard screen. If that works, my Madstad is for sale :)
I am 190 cm tall and 230 lbs and wonder if this bike is too uncomfortable for a tall and larger rider?
Hello, can be that you need some bar risers and make the rear spring higher. Why not making a custom confortable seat and higher it a little bit, it should be perfect. Greetings!
GREAT INFO! ... Thank you
Thanks a lot for supporting and comment! Greetings!
for bar risers i suggest pivot riser where you can not only increase height but also push back the sweep to make it closer to you

Thanks a lot
I own a 2014 model of the NC750X with these accessories:
Genuine Honda products:
- Heated grips (very nice, strongly recommended)
- 12 V outlet in the front compartment (nothing fancy here, but very useful for mobile and/or navigation system)
- 45 l top box with back rest for the co-driver (a real must-have in my opinion)
- 29 l panniers kit (not necessary unless traveling with the bike)
- Inner bags for top box and panniers kit (helps getting things in and out quickly)
- main stand (no bike should be made without it)
Other manufacturers' products
- Tiremoni tire pressure monitoring system (every vehicle should be equipped with such a system; shop.tiremoni.com/en/motorcycle-accessories/tyres-rims/tyre-pressure-monitoring-system-for-cruiser-bike-tm-4100/a-286/)
- SW-Motech crash bar (proved already to do its job well; sw-motech.com/en/bike/HONDA/NC750X/2014/RC72/products/protection/crash+bar/4052572056288.htm)
- RAM Mounts holder (holds my precious mobile securely; www.rammount.com/part/RAM-HOL-UN10BU)
- Win Power LED bulb (replaces the standard H4 bulb and is effectively illegal, but offers an amazing increase of active and passive visibility; www.amazon.de/dp/B07SN39LTX)
- Akrapovic slip-on exhaust (the difference between men and boys is the price for their toys... ;-) www.akrapovic.com/en/moto/product/16668/Honda/NC-700-750X/2014/Slip-On-Line-Carbon?brandId=30&modelId=131&yearId=577 )
In total, I would not want to miss any of them. Additional handguards might be cool, though I do not really need them. Riding only on paved roads, I am also fine with the original footrests and neither see a necessity for additional protection of the radiator or the like.
Wow, thanks a lot ! Your post it's very helpfull! 🏍

Its not a bad must have review for this bike, but you are very far away from all staff what you really need for this bike. I have now 3 year the NC750X DCT version - year 2017 - and you was not sad about a chain oiler nothing. I have Scottoiler v-system installed with dual injektor after 1000 km service, now i have over 35000 km and still the original chain because the oiler. This is a very importatnt accesories. You also not mentioned the
Givi MG1109 Motorcycle Mudguard for back wheel, this protect your back suspencion and its also a chain guard and the "Eye Car" Motor Rear Wheel Mudguard Fender witsh ist much cheeper and better then a givi. I have a Puig windscreen but with small wind protector on the top original from puig ordered together, this have a better wind protection, after i also installd the Wind Shield Adjustment and whit this adjuster you can make higher or lower your windschild. i am 188 cm high and i have a good wind protection. I also bought a handle heating from oxford, and also a givi hand protector, and its fit with Puig windshield. I have also the givi craschbar and this is the best choice.
