Welcome newbie! We were all newbies onceHi all. Im newbie. Nice to be a part of this community!
I've seen this before. Ran across another guy who used his exhaust gasses to melt through his Givi side case very effectively. Shorty aftermarket exhausts combined with plastic pannier boxes do not make for a good combination.Hi riding brethren!
I just picked up a 2015 NC with a tick over 11k miles. ... A new “project” awaits. I have some grand visions of what my NCX will look like once completed (if that day ever comes). A few items I think are a must: heated grips; better suspension; auxiliary lighting; stebel horn and hand guards...oh and a heat shield for the soon-to-be-repaired side case .
I’ve started the project; I’m using abs and abs cement to fabricate a patch and aluminum for heat shield (using aluminum not abs - lesson learned).I've seen this before.

Welcome to the ride. I hope you enjoy it as much as the other members here!
Welcome! I just bought one myself a few days ago and am in the same process as you setting it up to fit. I started a thread in 750 discussions to document the build. Adding a Dales rack, side racks and bags and a chain oiler today.I’ve started the project; I’m using abs and abs cement to fabricate a patch and aluminum for heat shield (using aluminum not abs - lesson learned).
In other news: I was running lots of Christmas shopping errands today on the old girl and was laughing inside my helmet the whole time.
I really didn’t give much credit to her coming off of the Hypermotard; but NOT riding the ncx like the Ducati puts everything in to perspective.
She is a lot of fun but NOT a hooligan machine. She’s a little over half the displacement vs 1100cc but pulls and punches above her weight class.
With the Dan Moto slip-on, she sounds like a Harley and Ducati super sport made sexy time and had a baby (that’s a good thing).
I already had one admirer and possible NCXconvert today
I was also able to raise back up to stock height and increase the preload on the rear shock but not before the chief got home so no test ride. Seat of the pants says the suspension is greatly improved from prior owner’s fumblings...
The saga continues!
Still on wishlist:
Higher rev limit
Barkbusters
Heated grips
Aux lighting
Higher rev limit
And higher rev limit...
What did you do for your forks?Welcome fellas.
I can strongly recommend the Cogent Dynamics rear shock as an excellent upgrade. It feels like butter compared to the stock shock. Very responsive, planted, and fully adjustable. I almost don't want to avoid potholes because it feels so good now
I have a drop-in dampener kit, also from Cogent Dynamics. But I haven't gotten around to installing them.... my garage isn't heated and so I'm putting it off until I do my 48k mile service, which is in about a hundred miles or so.What did you do for your forks?
Welcome to the club. There are dozens of usHello I've owned my 2019 nc750x for 18 months and live in the UK , used as daily transport

Welcome to the forum! I hope you find the NC you’re looking for, whether it’s old or new,hello, this is my first post. i just sold my cb300r and i'm seriously considering getting an nc750x with DCT. ideally I would like Honda to announce the '21 model in the US (what's taking them so long?), but I don't think I could afford one anyway so most likely I will be trying to find a good deal on a used previous year model. I would prefer to get the NC with the latest DCT technology, but it's a little bit confusing knowing which model years have the newest DCT in the US. Is it the 2017-2020? And at what point did they start getting traction control? Was that in 2018?

Welcome to the forum! I hope you find the NC you’re are looking for, whether it’s old or new,
If finances are limited, I wouldn’t advise focusing only on the “latest” DCT version. Honda releases minor upgrades periodically just to keep the product alive and maybe induce someone to “upgrade”, but the differences are really subtle In the big scheme of things. The DCT version released in 2012 works just fine. As for traction control, it is not even necessary on a motorcycle like the NC. I suggest you just look for an affordable great deal on a well cared for DCT of any model year. NC700/750X is not very popular in the USA, and they drop in value quickly. You could easily find a nice used DCT for half the price of a new one.
Add-ons like a better windscreen, seat, and/or suspension, or added luggage could bring more pleasure and utility than having the latest DCT version.
Good luck in your search, and again, welcome to the group.
Thanks for the warm welcome! I've been trying to snag a 2018-2020 NC750X DCT but they are extremely hard to find used and even new in some cases. There are a couple of 2016 NC700X DCT available though, so I might just hop on that. Even better knowing it has the latest gen of DCT (even though it's not a huge deal).Welcome to the sexy tractor forum.
I was going to buy a CBR300R when the salesman suggested the NC700 and I was pretty instantly sold on it.
The latest generation of DCT came in 2015 iirc, if not then 2016. Traction control came with the arrival of the 750, which was 2018 for the US. The biggest upgrade imo is the LED lighting, but that's something you can change yourself on earlier models.
I've thought about wanting traction control just about twice in the nearly four years I've had my 700x. It's a very stable, very controllable machine.
User 670cc has very excellent advice on this, a used bike will be farkled and these tractors are reliable and easy to work on. I have seen exactly one video of someone trying to do wheelies on the NC platform. They're not at all hooligan bikes.
