2021 Honda NC750X - USB Charger Kit Install
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 07. 2021
- My first mod on the NC750XD after owning it for a few weeks. I install the Honda USB Type-C charger kit in the storage compartment. Apologies for some of the close-ups being blurry. The GoPro doesn't focus very well that close. This is my first time taking off the fairings on this bike and it may not have been the best way. Please be careful if you decide to do this install as the panels can be fragile and I do not want to be held responsible.

I just did this mod on my 2021 NC750X DCT and can confirm that you only have to take off the black cover in front of the frunk (4 allen screws and 4 pushpins). Once that cover is removed, you can reach down with your hand and lift the harness up and off the tab that holds the harness dummy cap. Pinch the bottom of the harness dummy cap and pull the dummy cap off. Plug in the new USB attachment to the harness and lift the new harness cap over the tab that holds it to the frame and re-seat it. It took about 10 minutes.
Thanks for sharing that. I always go off manufacturer directions for install videos, but knowing the shortcuts will help some owners out.
The fact that Honda requires you to disassemble the entire left side of the bike to put in a USB port seems insane. That said, you did an awesome job with the video. Super informative and helpful. Thanks a ton for making it!
Thanks, much appreciated! 🙂
It's ironic that a bike that is quite possibly the easiest liquid cooled bike to maintain, requires this amount of disassembly to install a port.
I've gotten used to taking the fairings off but this bike is an utter pain in the arse to work on because of the myriad of screws, push-pins and multi-directional tabs. Every time something needs fitting it has to come apart.
This is for laughing , please use the right equipment and you shouldn't have removed anything 😂😂

Monitors and displays the battery status of the parked vehicle - Indicates that the battery is 'ready to start' with a flashing LED!
I cannot thank you enough for putting up this film. I have just finished wiring in a front and back camera system to my bike. Without this I would never have figured out how to take the bodywork apart.
You can actually do this by just removing the black cover in front of the "frunk". Push the connector upwards from below with a screwdriver. Then you can pull the cable down and grab it under the side fairing. Doable in less than 5 min. Hope it helps someone.
You should do a CZcams on your method
Thanks for the tip. This was much easier then removing all the side panels.
Having this video running in my garage while I was installing the usb-c port was priceless. I would never have had the courage to pull as hard as I did to get some of the fairings off without repeating that part of your video 3 or 4 times just to make sure. All back together now and working perfectly. Many, many thanks! One comment - I skipped (8) remove left side cover and (9) remove left shroud. When I finished (7) I thought I had plenty of room to install the harness and I did. I agree with the other comments that it seems crazy for Honda not to have installed this on the assembly line.
Apart from being a great video, it does show the level of design that goes into making all these parts fit together. Honda designers must be brilliant.
Just found your channel. Very clear explanation. I like that you use “plain” English and don’t use expletives. Thanks for the video!
Used this video to help figure out where these bolts go when putting it back together. I didn't realize how many different sized bolts this bike had until I already had them all out.
So thanks!
I've got the USB charger and heated grips on my NC. I love how these accessories just plug right into places already in the harness.
Glad it helped
I just purchased an NC750X same year model and color as yours. I put a center stand and USB charger accessories from Honda. I appreciate your videos very much! The tips on the disassembly of the body parts were extremely helpful! Thank you.
Very cool!
Your detailed video of the cover removal was an invaluable service to me. Thank you so much!
Thanks for taking the time to produce a professional video. You removed the mystery of disassembly of the plastic and installation of port.
Glad it helped
thank you for this. I will be install the usb charger on my NC750x 2023 model this weekend. Hope everything works out. Really appreciate for putting up this video
Best of luck!
Just bought a 22 NC, I am spoiled by heated grips, want additional lights on the engine bars the PO installed and finally a USB port. Considering a Thunder Box to power all my gadgets. I thank you for your video, extremely informative and appreciated!
I did this installation today, great video. I can confirm you dont need to do steps 8 and 9 as per honda's installation instructions to fit this. So its even easier 👍
Thanks for the video, really helped me a lot. I just installed 2 USB outlets, heated grips (Koso HG13) and LED brake lights for my Givi V56 topcase. I installed a simple USB cable from Amazon in the front compartment and an extra on the handle bar instead of the expensive Honda part. Your video was helpful so I knew where I could get my switched 12V. I would have bet that I would break one of the side covers, the top silver one was quite tricky - at the end I had to install it 3 times because I forgot this and that...no damage except for the right heated grip: I was too lazy to check the position as the left one went easy...I did not see that this was different to previous models and it has ring at the end which has to be filed down.
Very well produced and executed video - learned a great deal about my bike - thank you
Many thanks for taking the time to produce such a fantastically filmed and precise video explanation of fitting this accessory that gives a great tutorial on the removal of the panels ( one handed!) Thank you sir.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for making the video. I referred to it quite often when I installed the charger and wiring for some SW-Motech fog lights. I did end up with an extra 5mm Allen screw. Dang it!
Wow man that was one heck of a great explanation. Thank you and keep them coming. Appreciate you sharing. Just finished installing a radiator guard and pair of ewmotec footrest
Thanks for the comment! I hope to have more mods coming up in the near future.
One of the best bike ever made!! Great Honda, and congratulations!!
Great Video, thanks so much for taking the time to make this. Very Helpful.
Excellent Video. Thanks.. Look forward to any additional that you have planned.
A massive thanks for sharing this information. This was my first time working on my motorcycle.
Your assistance was great.
Thanks again for sharing.
Philip
Glad it helped
you are a time saver!!! Thank you for the detailed step by step. Worked like a charm!
Glad it helped!
Never mind the USB - this video is invaluable if you are trying to work out how to get all the plastics off without breaking anything - top job. I'm going to post a link to this on the UKNCforum if that's ok?
Thanks for the video, just did the job myself and it helped me a lot!! 😎 just one remark, personally I think it’s just enough to remove the panels up to 6:22 min. I did the job today and didn’t need to remove more panels than up to 6:22. Thanks again and for the next DIY’ers, watch the plastic lips on the panels becuase they are weak.
Thanks to this video I can add the charger and take the Red panels and have them wrapped a different color. Two birds, one stone! Thank you!
This bike reminds me of working on a Goldwing I used to have. Plastic panels all over and lots of bolts and push pins.
Thank you so much for such a good presentation and description, otherwise I gave to install a USB socket at the time of purchase, but I like the video for further repairs and modifications 👍
Glad it helped
Thanks for this video. Just used this info to install the OEM aftermarket USB-C charger to my ‘23 NC750XD. I believe ‘21, ‘22 and ‘23 are all literal identical models (aside from color).
Thanks for the comment 😀
Thanks for doing this, it really helped me when installing heated grips!
Glad it helped! I should've installed some of those while I had the bike apart 🙂
Great job removing and re-installing the Tupperware! :))
Super detailed guide, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the excellent detailed video,
I have to do this job on mine soon 👌
Glad it helped
Congratulations on your new bike! I’m part of the target audience for this model. I’m thankful for your videos as they have proven this is the bike for me. My question for you is; what other bikes did you have in mind before finally choosing this one? Thanks for the mod explanation as well! Well done.
I did a few test rides (videos available on the channel) prior to purchasing the NC750. I tried the 2020 Harley Livewire, the 2021 Zero FXS, the 2020 Honda NC750X and the KTM 390 Adventure. I liked last year's NC750X so much that I put a deposit down on the 2021 that very same day even though it was months away from being delivered. The Honda ended up being a better all-rounder for my needs which is why I went that route.
Excellent! Would have been so difficult without your video. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video, I would have been lost without it.
Glad I could help
Cheers from Austria! ... great video!
Job well done sir!
Super informative! Thank you so much!
Thanks, very clear instruction👍👍
Love my NC. My GS 1200 side panel was 1 bolt!
Gracias por el video. Tu eres un valiente .Ya tienes un suscritor desde España. Yo estaré atento por si cuelgas mas videos de accesorios que le vayas colocando a la moto. Que disfrutes de la moto.
Saludos my friend.
No way would I have been able to install the USB charger without your video! Very well done. Honda should be paying you a royalty. I installed mine on a 2022 NC 750X DCT. The only difference was the electrical connection at about 9:50 in the video has a clip that clips to the bike. No need for the zip tie although I used it to tidy up a bit of the wire, regardless. I'm amazed Honda doesn't just include this with the bike. The part was only about $35 but the install was ridiculous.
Glad the video helped. I was surprised at how difficult it was to remove the layers of plastic the first time, lol
Hey Tom, I have this sub installed, but it doesn’t seem like a standard USB connector. Is there a special connector you have to use?
@@cliftonbrown1057 I use an Android that takes a USB-C that's compatible. I'm not sure what phones/devices use Type-C.
Great video!! Thank you so much!
Awesome video dude thanks!
Great video, very useful. Well done.
Many thanks!
Great video, thanks very much! Beats me why Honda doesn’t install this as standard. Cost probably I guess.
Great job and very informative. thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for great video and congrats to excelent one hand skill :-) Same procedure waits for me too and I have question. I saw some printed schematics on the floor. Where did you get from? From dealer or its somewhere online?
Thanks for this vid, great coverage! I now know I will need to pay to have someone do it...too much for me :)
You make it look so easy.
Thanks for the video, I bought the kit but i'm a little afraid to install my self after watch all parts I've to remove, I downloaded Installation instructions from your link,
Great video got a question if there's somewhere safe to can you open it up and see what max speed on the bike is
Very good your video, it helped a lot, from what I noticed if I connect another usb (not the original one) the male connector already exists, just put the wires in it, will it have a connector for an auxiliary headlight, thanks
Excelent video. Thanks a lot
The Video is great, the explanation is hard to beat. The charger, It worth the work.
Is there a place to connect a portable compressor outside on the road without dismounting the entire bike?
I was looking to trade my XL1200T to get a road king however my knee and back wouldn't be happy neither my pocket, so I'm looking to this lovely NC750X with saddle bags.
Greets from Belgium! Is it really necessary to remove all panels on the LH side, or is it possible to do the job with less panels removed?
Fantastix video, kudos to you for making this video. As others have said, it seems to be an insane amount of work just to install a simple usb charging socket.... I'd rather chuck a portable power bank in the storage compartment and be done with it!
I've heard that you can do this without needing to take off the side panels, but I always follow manufacturer directions when doing an instructional video. It's still a lot of trouble for a simple USB port.
Well done video. Thanks!
Buenas noches, felicidades por el video todo muy bien explicado paso a paso. Quería preguntar que tipo de cable se usa para cargar en esa clavija?? gracias like y suscrito
Very helpful. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Seems like a lot of stuff to take off but you show how it's done, so thanks.
It's definitely a multi-layered fairing design on this bike. Just have to be careful on some of the delicate clips on the plastics.
Hi there. Do you have a video to remove the panels for the 2014 nc750x
The anxiety that this video gave me 😨 well done mate. But I think I will ask someone to do it for me
Amazing video, thanx! Fixed everything under 1 hour :) I assume its a fuse inside the fuse box (for the charger), does anyone know which one?
With almost one hand?? Just amazing... Do you know what color are on this bike the 12v cables? I'm waiting in a few days my new NC and i want to install the Scorpio SRX900 alarm..
what battery tender did you use; that fits ok ?
Very helpful. Great explainer.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video 🙂
Si te funcionó con carga rápida?
Very good video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Very good video
Thanks
nice video! helped me a lot... thx
Glad to hear that! Thanks.
مقطع مفيد جدا ، لكن كيف أطلبها للكويت ؟
شكرا لك على الشرح المفيد 🌷
As said, great video. Don't suppose you'd consider buying a 2019 750x and doing the same video..lol
Thanks a lot
Great video! Do you know if there is a live wire on the USB harness?
Not that I know of. This module is meant to be switched so that it does not drain the battery when the bike is turned off.
good idea to charge when bike is off; phone does not take enough power to drain even if on for hours.
For some reason the first top front fairing (silver) just doesn't come off. while i take it you have a very strong hand, i feel like i am going to break it if i just pull stronger on it. Any tips on those big fairing push nubs? (not the snap rivets) thanks for any clue.
Yeah, you don't want to pull too hard on the fairings as they have delicate pieces on them. If you're talking about the rubber grommets with the push nubs, they can be tight the first couple of times. It helps to pull straight out from where they are located. Hopefully, the video will give you a good idea of where they are at so that you can focus in those specific areas.
This was very helpful. Are you a teacher? The instructions were so easy to follow...and I might just use this as my guide when I do the same. Silly question but what is that tool called for when you have to "push in" some of those little plastic snap-in thingies? lol
You can use a center punch or awl to push those center pins in.
Hi great video thanks, do you know if your bike had the sub harness for fog lights, or was the wiring on your bike as standard?
I believe the wiring harness is already in place for the fog lights and they just need to be plugged in. I'm pretty sure I came across that harness while working on the USB module install.
Thanks!
Thank you for the sub. Hope the video was helpful.
Thanks!!
I've got some heated gloves. Can I attach the harness to the battery and run the harness cable out the bottom/side of bike? The cable is too thick to close the frunk on. Thanks
There is a hole in the bottom of the battery tray and you might be able to run a cable through it. If you are not using the Honda USB charger kit then you can pop out the rubber piece and run a cable through there. Hope that helps.
@@KSSTUDIOS thanks. I'll let my mechanic have a crack. Just pput some small givi panniers on the NC. It came with a big Madstad screen and there is so much wind protection that I don't need ear plugs and can ride with my helmet visor open..it's pretty unbelievable the difference between this bike and the bonneville. Great commuter. I have the standard tranny. The engine is not like most bikes but I've figured out where the sweet spot is and I can keep it in the torque curve now and it is plenty fast for the street. The bike came with a ton of farkles...front fender extender, rear hugger, that screen, battery tender, Giv pannier and top case racks and crash bars. With 2K miles on her. I may upgrade the suspension but stock suspension is still waaay better then my Street Twins. The Tiger would have been $4k more and It just seemd the Honda would be the better year round commuter...certainly not as fun as the Tiger
Do you have a vid on how to fit battery tender lead ? cheers Dave
I don't have one specifically on that topic. If you are inquiring for the NC750X, the battery on this bike is behind a panel in the front storage area. The dealership drilled a hole in that panel so that the battery tender cables could be run through into the storage compartment.
What if I just want to put an underglow on my motorcycle? Will that USB Tender kit still drain the battery completely????
This USB charger kit shuts off power when the ignition is turned off. It shouldn't cause any drain on the battery if everything works ok.
I'm really interested in getting a 2021 nc750x dct. I was wondering if you paid cash and if you did how did you break it out to them? Like at what stage did you let them know you were paying cash, if you did indeed pay cash. My concern is the dealership screwing me over for paying cash.
I financed mine and paid full MSRP since they were really hard to find at the time. The dealership didn't have any reason to haggle on price because they were in such high demand. From past experience though, I never let them know how much cash I'm putting down until the out-the-door offer has been accepted. Hope that helps.
Wow I never knew there was so much in it just to get a usb connected
Is this product a micro usb plug to micro usb plug at both ends? the opening looks way too small to be a regular USB plug. Am I missing something?
It is a USB-C plug, which is smaller than a traditional USB (Type-A) plug.
Hi I’ve been trying to order that part every were no body know that number would u have the name of the shop Honda site won’t let me pick for my cart
That part has been sold out for quite some time now. I ordered directly from the Honda accessories site when I got mine and had it shipped to a dealer to pick it up.
I just brought home the exact same bike and it's great. I did notice though that the wind noise is extremely loud on my helmet. I had to pull over and put in ear plugs. I am going to have to research to see if other windscreens are available that will cut down the noise. Surprised at this oversight by Honda.
I have a very loud helmet as it is, but this bike does seem to direct some extra wind up under my chin. Honda has a taller windscreen available that I may try out eventually.
I have the same noise problem. Unfortunately, due to lack of 2021 bikes to the manufacturers, the have yet to update their products that are compatible to the mew version. Please post your comments if you find a quieter windshield.
I just test-rode a 2021 with the taller windscreen on and the noise was terrible.
I'm going to pick up my brand new 750X next week. Will go for a Givi or Puig windshield then.
@@CLOUDBURST99 I bought one of those small clamp on wind screens that you mount to the top of the normal windscreen and is adjustable. It made a big improvement!
@@Truthseeker71 Was that on the stock windscreen or the taller one?
why not tie direct to the battery; with fuse and switch; far easier ?
When I'm on all-day rides, I charge my Sena while I'm eating lunch so it doesn't run out when I'm looking for my motel. I can do this because mine is not switched.
👍👍👍
Good👍
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
👏👏👨🔧
🙏🙏🙏🙏
just add a switch on the cover.
this sure is not helping sales to use plastic screws on plastic just to get where you need to be. i had the same ordeal on my Tmax ; need a box of clips and sprare plastic; many are one time use only.
To remove all the plastick i worse then installig the usb lol
