Auxiliary/spktlights

Denali makes a bracket specifically for the NC700X or NC750X to mount aux/pod lights to so you don't have to mount them to crash bars or the fork. Link here: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle...00x-2012-2015-nc750x-2018-2020?sku_id=1077272

You will have to make a slight modification to the plastic piece underneath the "beak" of the bike though. A little dremel tool will work. I installed that product and it works great. Looks OEM once the lights of your choosing are fitted.

I think GIVI also sells a similar one where you don't need to modify anything (I think).

Hello 16DCT. I realize it has been some time since your original posting however I was wondering whether you might help me make similar adaptations to the Denali Light Mount. At this time on their site the Mount is advertised for a fitment on the Honda NC700X ('12-'17) and NC750X ('14-'20). I emailed Denali Customer Service and was advised that there are no current plans to update the mount to fit my bike - the 20201 NC750X - so I was reminded of your posting.
You mention that you made a "slight modification" to the plastic piece underneath the "beak" of the bike. Can you elaborate on what you did? I am attaching the "Instruction Manual" that I downloaded from Denali (2 pages) where the second page shows the beak and hardware underneath if you can mark the picture or reference the area(s) that you "adapted"? Like others have said I do not wish to add engine guards just to add front driving lights so if you could help me I am sure that it will help others.
Thanks in advance. Brooklyn Boy

I have the Denali light bar mount. I can snap a picture of it and the beak area where I modified. The modification is as simple as razor blading off about a 1 inch piece on both sides of the under cover of the beak so the aluminum bar can mount to the headlight bracket.

That would be great. I'll look forward to it. Thanks in advance.

Here are the pics… the hardest part for me was fitting my hands in a small space.

I took a picture of the two pieces I had to remove from the underside of the beak to fit the light bar. I held one side in place so you could see where the plastic was in relation to the light bar. I used a small hacksaw to cut.

HUGE NOTE: the instructions show the light bar mounted incorrectly. I mounted the light bar as is shown in the directions, and the fork lower triple clamp was making contact. Left two marks in the aluminum light bar. I removed the light bar and mounted it in reverse from the directions and there are no clearance issues. The forks freely move from stop to stop. See my picture for reference to correct installation method.

Bskicrash1 I can't thank-you enough for taking the time to share the pictures and instructions for using the Denali Light Mount Bar for auxiliary driving lights. I want to make sure that I understand your instructions so let me ask: In picture #6, where you add the specific instructions for positioning the bar with the large two lenshead screws (#2) facing towards the front of the bike is the correct position to mount the bar so it does not rub against the front forks, correct? I just want to clarify for myself, and others who may download the mounting instructions from the Denali website that has the two large holes for the lenshead screws (#2) facing towards the rear of the bike. That is the incorrect method?
I am attaching a copy of the instructions for mounting the bar from the Denali Website to show the difference in positioning.
My sincere thanks to you.

The correct mounting position is exactly as my picture shows. The bolts will be closer to the rider.

The instruction sheet showed the incorrect way with the bolts facing forward toward the front of the motorcycle.

Note: I have a 2019 manual.

Bskicrash1/all.
Thanks again for your earlier guidance and pictures for installation of the light bar, especially for emphasizing positioning of the bar.
Recently I purchased a Light Bar on eBay that is similar to that of the earlier Denali accessory light bar with some small differences. First it comes in 3 pieces which requires they be bolted together but (as I hoped) does not require any cutting on my part. I'm in the process of completing the wiring but have already mounted Denali D3s on the bar. I will post pictures when I am finished but I wanted to get back with you and everyone else who was kind enough to post information and suggestions on mounting auxiliary driving lights on my 2021 NC750xd. Be advised that the light bar does not come with instructions but I took my queue from the Denali instructions. If anyone is interested I will be glad to repost with how I decided to do so.

I like that setup! I am glad you added some auxiliary lights! Now you can make the night turn to day!
 
I had a new to me HD Sportster to the state inspection at a local shop years ago--told me it was lacking the required reflectors--for a couple bucks they stuck some peel and stick reflectors on so I could transfer the registration--told me to go ahead and peel them off after I got home--they ended up on one of my bicycles.

Again let me first thank all my fellow members who gave me words of wisdom and encouragement.
I was at the point where I was looking for a connection of switched power sources to posi-tap the "trigger wire" on the on/off switch on the Denali harness.
Originally I was looking for something up front but then I read that the rear tail light (red wire) would be sufficient.
Since I installed Denali B6 rear driving/brake lights not too long ago using an Eastern Beaver Y-connector I sliced into the Y-connector and posi-tapped into the blue wire (which ultimately connects to the red wire (Honda) rear tail light). Luckily I had enough wire from the harness switch to connect to the tail light and will be able to just move the thin wire under the seats and body panel.
Bskicrash1 your words rang true. Just connecting to the low beam on the D3 they turn the night to day.
Now to re-assemble the body panels and complete positioning the D3s.
Thanks again to all.

Photon Blasters have gotten good reviews as fork lights as well - and less expensive than Denali.
I appreciate your thoughts and comments GregC and thanks for the link for additional information.
My main reason for purchasing the Denali D3 Lights is to provide myself a greater amount of light driving at night and/or when conditions require it.

I like the look of the front end on your NC. I think the 3rd gen headlight and windshield is the cleanest of the three. Just my opinion. Your setup looks good!

Today I mounted the switch next to the parking brake on the left part of the handlebar. I put the body panels back on before I decided to finalize the position of the D3s on the light bar and then made sure everything still worked.
Some minor things left and cleanup.
Again I have to thank everyone for your gracious comments and kindnesses. They went a long way in helping me through this project.
One last thing I would like to add for those to whom it applies:
Have a Happy Father's Day tomorrow!

I am thinking about getting these lights for my 2020 and have a couple of questions:
1. How do you like them?
2. Do you need the switch? I would like to wire them to be on all the time at about 20% and then go up to 100% when I turn on my high beams. What I don't know, and Denali doesn't really say, is if you need any of their switches to make that happen or if D3's w/ datadim technology can do it without any extra Denali specific harness/switch.
