Nice set up man

was eyeing on the light too but ends up buying hella micro de from anodise57 instead

still waiting for my crash bar from m-techik

[pktan]

surely good to have, sadly mine doesn't have it. have to be slightly more careful during hard braking.

 

well, good things are worth the wait, goodluck!

 

I going to keep the bike for couple of years so don't mind paying more for the ABS. Anyway, just personal preference.

thanks!

 

does the micro DE comes with mounting brackets? have you got a handlebar switch to go along with the setup?

 

the crashbar should be in soon, Mr Chan was saying another shipment coming in around a week's time but i'm not sure does that shipment include hepco stuff.

no problem.

 

why not consider this switch to be mounted on handlebar?

what brand is yours?

[whyzee]

Packaging and installation guide says hepco becker, but brand print sirrus..

[gamerzdude]

WHY the f*ck are bike models so limited in Singapore, and we as consumers are left with limited choices.

 

WHY are they not bringing in the DCT version of the Honda NC700X, especially when that IS what makes this bike so unique and versatile, and what the magazine reviewers are raving about. If it is just a normal manual bike, there are a lot of better options out there. The dual transmission (auto and manual) is the unique selling point of this bike.

 

Checked with both Boon Siew and Excel, and they said they not bringing in. I asked if I could specially order the DCT model, and they weren't sure if they would do it either. SAD.

 

Excel quoted me $18k OTR (without ABS and without DCT)... add $1k more for ABS.

no problem.

HelmetBOX recently ordered a DCT from BS. expect waiting time 2-3months for the bike to be shipped to SG.

Sharing some info from LTA regarding foglights n DRL..

Foglights are legal if they meet certain international stAndards. N if they r legal, they dont have to be covered..

http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onemotoring/en/lta_information_guidelines/modifications_and_vehoffences/modification_guide/modification_allowed.html#MainPar_0009

 

DRL are illegal unless factory fitted..

http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onemotoring/en/lta_information_guidelines/modifications_and_vehoffences/modification_guide/modification_not_allowed.html#MainPar_99114

 

Recently seem to be very on the ball.. Sigh..

 

thks for the info bro! after info that boon siew warrenty will not be voided with installing horns or wad eva, now tempted to install the fog lights hehe... anyone know the price for the fog lights from m-technik with installation?

Nice. Just like those aircraft/ racing car switches. Where u gonna place it?

Got 3 options. 1st is th spray it red, 2nd to carbon wrap it or lastly, just let it be. But I think spraying it red would be the best looking.

Dont need spray la, just vinyl sticker will do. Maybe can do reflective.

 

Btw, the lights from mtechnik will come with switch..

Anybody tried offroading on the nc700x? Thinking this might just replace my super 4 haha

Reflective sticker seems a good idea! I was thinking of CF sticker, go aliexpress and buy a roll of red wet-look CF vinyl.

 

The switch from mtechnik, is it the handlebar mounted type? Actually the cost of buying the magazi spotlights and switch plus shipping is already close to 250. Plus installation charges, may it be better to get from mtechnik?

Thanks for the info, we are waiting for the ever 'efficient' BS to contact us.

Seriously doubt the NCX can do serious off-roading. The suspension is too soft and no metal underbelly pan to take the knocks from humps and bumps. The adventure styling is just for aesthetic purpose only
