New 750X DCT owner … Little square thingy?

The green is your ground and I ran it to the frame. It's a mechanical single pole switch so line (from your power) and load (to your device) does not matter. But I used the wire that is directly right of the ground in the image in the previous post. I hope this helps. Don't let it intimidate you. @the Ferret put it best when he said we motorcyclists tend to overcomplicate things! I know you did not ask but I thought maybe a basic diagram would help.

My pleasure. I hope you enjoy the project! I think working on bikes is almost as much fun as riding them.

In the interest of safety, I would suggest either connecting the switch's and light's ground terminal to the frame or back to the battery, but not both. With both, in the very unlikely case where the battery main negative cable to frame ground should go open or resistive, excessive unfused current could flow through the small added ground wire going from the battery to the switch to the frame, causing the wire or it's insulation to melt.

Thank you for the info - much appreciated MZFlorida!

Hello again MZ, when you mentioned that you had to remove panels to install the OEM aux light switch, which panels needed to be removed? The bike is sort of a jigsaw puzzle of panels! Thanks for your response.

So I've read through the entire thread. Was there a definitive answer as to what switch will fit in the NC750's panel?

Thanks,

Steve

08V02-MKA-D80 is the correct part number. 08V04-MJP-G50, for the Africa Twin and others, will not fit without substantial modification. I ordered mine from CMSNL.com., with whom I've never had any issues (they are in the Netherlands).

Thanks very much!!!

I installed a voltmeter in place of the square plug.

This should be made into a FAQ!

As a new NC owner, I want more lighting for all the obvious reasons. I have been scratching my head why there are light bars available yet no lighting “systems” that seem to be due to DOT regulations.

Thanks for putting together the parts and vendors that you have provided.

What isn’t more expensive these days? Too much money chasing too few resources. Adam Smith and all that.

eggs by me just paid 83/ dozen....... did not expect to see that again

Besides the switch what other parts are needed to make it work with the dash indicator? I was figuring on using aftermarket lights and bar but would like to use honda harness if possible?

2022 750X DCT. Anyone know what the small, square pop-out panel is just below the LCD display is for? Thinking it would be a good spot to mount air temp gauge.

it is for the fog light switch. the fog lights might not be bright enough for requirements in the USA. that is why it might not be offered here.
