Mike, thank you for being so kind as to produce your videos in English. I find them informative and educational. And your production quality is top notch.

Good review I also bought a Shad seat for my NC750X it fitted perfect but like you the rear seat was a bit sticky so I changed the seats pop up springs to The Honda ones on the original springs, I think the Shad rear seat springs a a bit weak. Since using the honda seat springs the rear seat pops up perfectly I hope this will help you.

Thanks for this helpful video, can I ask if the Shad seat makes any difference to the seat height, higher or lower than standard?

Good work!

Thank you. I am considering this bike, but I have heard that the seat is one of its few weak points. I need a seat that is at least as comfortable as the 2013 Suzuki V-Strom's OEM seat. I had that V-Strom, but like a fool I swapped it for a new Yamaha Tmax in late 2018 (to go clutchless due to hand pain), but I don't ride it as it's a disappointing bike. If only I had just gone from the V-Strom to the 2018 NC750X DCT, I would have saved myself a considerable loss of money.

Excellent tips - kitoos

Nice, clear and well-spoken videos. Good job. Regarding the seat comfort, height and slope, Shad does not solve all problems. Height will remain the same as well as slope. Comfort will improve. Solution? Perhaps tailor-made set? I am thinking of taking my original seat to polster guy, who removes the original surface material and changes the slope a little. Also 3-5cm raise is on the wish list. My guestion before doing this: I am 186cm and if I assemnle 2,5-3,5cm bar raisers and SW Motech adjustable footpegs along with aimed 3-5cm raised seat, is there something I should take into consideration before all this? I am planning this to ease the pressure in my lower back. Last summer was a bit painful :))

Thank you,

Hello! I've just installed the seat. Is far more comfortable than the original one. I noticed that the stitching of the back seat on the left side doesn't align with the one in the front. That quit annoys me... and i have exactly the same problem when opening the gas tank...

Based on your helpful video I too purchased a SHAD comfort seat. The fit & finish is flawless, which pleases me no end, as I have seen others suggest theirs showed an unacceptable gap where the seat meets the frunk. The fitting instructions state that the springs and washers from the original seat should be utilised on the SHAD and, so far, it is opening and closing perfectly. Even the stitching matches perfectly where front and rear seats overlap. The real test will be how comfortable it is. Fingers crossed it’ll be a big improvement. 🤞

How much is the diff between the original’s compared to Shad’s?

hi i love the look of the nc i think its the best value bike honda make at present. that seat looks great.i am considering a change to one but am concerned about its modest power output. i ride a honda firestorm at present and have done for more than 20 years. while the storm isnt the worlds most powerful bike it does have a good amount of torque. i suppose really a test ride would alleviate concerns but would appreciate the feedback of an actual owner especially anyone who has moved from more powerful bikes to the nc750.

Hello Phil, I have never had very powerful bikes, so I can't comment on that. But I rode the AT and NC the same day and I actually liked the NC better on curvy roads although the AT has twice as much power. Here is my opinion of the bikes: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aoB91sl9p8XUnbQ.html

The NC has a lot of it's torque at low revs which makes it easy to ride. Can you get a test ride?

If you are 5 foot 10 inches (178 cm), are your feet flat on the ground with the NC750X (2014), which has a seat height of 32.7 inches (830 mm)? My inseam is 29.5 inches (75 cm).

The Shad seat does not change the slope, but as it's softer you don't slide as easy. If your main aspect is to change the slope angle, the Shad seat won't fix it. But it has made my ride much more comfortable.

@@ccooper8785 In the UK the bike will fail the MOT with the seat configured like that. It's OK if you can fashion something else around the tang to hold the seat down. Tyre Mechanic told me this when I had new tyres put on. I have got a bit of wear on the base of the tang as the chair ferrules have compressed a bit due to my weight. So all we have to do is switch it back to normal for an MOT.

I have the same problem with the seat, only to close the seat I have to pull it hard to the right and to open it, I have to press as you do to release it.

Can you send a link for shad seat model year 2021 Honda nc750x ?

Hi enjoyed your video ive got a 2019 nc750x and the original seat is a plank , have looked on shad website and states seat is part numbe SHH0N720CN but your video shows part number as SHH0N720TN , just wondered if you could confirm please , also looks like the shad seat has same slope as the original , does the shade seat because its less hard tend not to slip rider forward as much ? many thanks Steve

@FinnMikeonaBike

4 жыл бұрын

If I have understood it correctly, the CN is with grey seams and the TN is with black seams. Most important is that the model number is 720 as the 710 is for the older NC model. The forward slope is the same on the Shad seat, but it has never bothered me a lot. But that is personal preference of course. Ride safe!

I owned an early model of the NC700 and sold it due to the fact that I am a very long distance rider and my butt would get sore after about 4 hours in the seat. I really miss the bike because it handled well and saved me a lot in fuel. Now, I am thinking of getting another as a second bike (I currently ride a Vstrom DL1000). I like the Shad and looking forward to your review of long rides using it. I am interested in an all day ride on the Shad if you can do it. Thanks for the videos and look forward to your review.
