Re: Finally!! 12V socket installed under the seat! DIY!

Just had a look and the helmet still fits in just fine.

Also saw that my front tire was loosing a slight bit of pressure, so pulled out the mini air compressor, plugged it into the new 12V under the seat and quickly inflated it myself :) Now she is almost set for the long roads!

Havent tried yet. Sure i will be able to if i leave the visor a tad open as the socket is at height, but even If I cant I can still put it in the box on the back.

CALLING ALL SOUTH AFRICAN PCX OWNERS(that live in Gauteng)!

Good day gents, As some of you might know, BikeSA holds a scooter rally every year around september. It is held at Hartebeespoort Dam. I have never been there, but the event seems primarily for scooter racing and games, but I do believe that it is also where many fancy scooters right across all bran...

Trip Report: First Long(er) trip with Scarlett

So having been on this forum for just a few days, I have been induced with the adventurous idea of taking longer than usual trips with my PCX... And today was it! Not that it was extremely long, but so much fun none the less!! https://scontent-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/l/t1.0-9/s720x720/104294...

Re: Hi there everyone!! I'd like you to meet Scarlett....

@Wei2go: Which screen did you buy from advrider? It seems that I cannot find any PCX items on their website. @Kruger: With the highwayman screen, do you look through or over the screen when riding? My length is about 1.75-1.8m, which should put my seated height at around 0.9m, and if I look straigh...

Re: Hi there everyone!! I'd like you to meet Scarlett....

Well.... when driving about 90-100km/h in the cruise, I barely notice it. Just a bit of buffeting air coming around the corners of the windshield but other than that I can only describe it as smooth sailing :)

Re: Fitting a 12V charger adapter and LED night lights...

Sweet! That is a better idea. The only thing I was really worried about is the battery discharging.

I'll re-source a socket then :)

Hi guys, So it is no major secret that I am no electrical genius, but I have a 12V adapter that is deemed suitable for installation on my PCX150. I am planning on fitting it under the seat on the battery cover as per another gentlemen's idea. My only question, of which I just want to be sure....It c...

Re: Hi there everyone!! I'd like you to meet Scarlett....

Welcome to the forum. Cool plane and PCX. It almost looks like a Grumman Yankee but modernized with a three blade prop. What is it? I am a pilot too for about 15 years and 500 hours. I primarily flew a Piper Archer but just for fun. It is called a Sling 2, which is the 2-seater variant of the Sling...

Re: Who's got the most miles/km on their PCX!?

She is now just about 2 years old, standing on 10'000km. Don't know what the miles are..

I'm sure being Honda and all, she will make it to a good 50'000-60'000km if proper care is taken :)
