The subject of “Building a NC700X Commuter Bike” has come up several times on this forum and it has not been compounded into a single post for all to find quickly or easily. The following information is supplied as a “REFERENCE” for all that has been inquiring about building their NC700X into a “Commuter Bike”. Please review my recommendations separated into “Levels”. Each level will require a significant level of financial investment as you go up the levels.
Level 1 (Basic):
• Extended Windshield (e.g. Cee Baileys 20” Shield)
• Extra Storage or Cargo Capacity ( e.g. Package Rack, Side Bags, or Rear Trunk)
• Hand Guards (e.g. Barkbusters)
• Basic Accessory Electrical (e.g. 12V Accessory Port)
• Loud Horn (e.g. PIAA Sports Horn)
Level 2 (Intermediate)
• Heated Grips (e.g. Honda 08T71-MSG-A30)
• Advanced Accessory Electrical to Support Additional Accessories.
• Light Bar for Driving Lights (e.g. Honda 08P70-MSG-A30)
• LED Driving Light (e.g. X-Vision)
• Light Bar Mounts (e.g. PIAA)
• Rear Wheel Hugger (e.g. Skidmarx)
• Front Fender Extender (e.g. Pyramid)
Level 3 (Advanced)
• Fairing Deflectors (e.g. Honda 08R70-MSG-A30)
• Lower Wind Deflectors (Honda# Varies for Trans. Type)
• Throttle Rocker II (Velcro Version)
• Touring Front Seat (e.g. Corbin)
It is recommended to use all of Honda’s products for all electrical connections for all accessories.
You will need the following items:
• Sub-Harness – Honda 08A71-MSG-D30
• Relay Kit – Honda 08A70-MSG-D30
• 12V Accessory Socket – Honda 08V71-MSG-D30
• Heated Grips Attachment Kit – Honda 08T71-MSG-D30, if using the Honda Heated Grips.
If you are planning to use the Honda Rear Trunk or Side Bags, you will need the following items:
• Rear Trunk, 45 Liters – Honda 08L55-EWL-100E
• Saddlebag Set, 29 Liters – Honda 08L76-MGS-A50
• Rear Carrier – Honda 08A71-MJJ-A30
• Bracket Set – Honda 08A74-MGS-J30
Outfit your bike to fit into your riding style and budget. It’s alright to “Mix n Match” any of these items listed above.
Happy Motoring!!!
