ok, had the city grips installed earlier today, the shop said be careful as new they are slippery and take 100 dry road miles to bed in :S crikey i got them as the IRCs were slippery thought id be fine from the start on the michelins :z also i kept the oem front tire as a spare as seemed in good con...

mu honda top box was £55, the plate was the expensive bit at £85, and quick release plate at £16

i wanted a honda box though so people see i have a honda bike not some rubbish chinese bike

i have the honda 26l topbox from Dobledirect

.. in Kent, UK?

i keep seeing a new white PCX, the owner has a lovely colour co-ordinated motorcycle helmet too

i keep trying to catch up with them to ask them if they are on this site but other cars are usually in the way and they go in a different direction i go in the end

thankyou

such a small community, SOPA wouldnt have any affect for the websites for enthusiasts im sure

woohoo

that magnetic tool turned up and used it in the dark, and it got the bolt out! excellent and great idea thankyou! phew

i had a honda x8rs before the PCX, i got it for £400 on gumtree. spent about £300 on parts like new exhaust, tyres, cabling and dash.. then the engine failed now its in the garage collecting dust, i just want £100 for it as it is. it needs a new piston and piston head unit which would be another £20...

in hindsight the bolt wouldnt have fallen inside the bike if i used the center stand

all sorted now, just needed more force than i thought, had 2 people sid on the bike while i pushed onto the box and now its on, i couldnt work out the locking either as the instructions are crap but worked it out in the end. so all good now except the nut still in deep by the seat lock. many thanks ...

right as i commute daily and im very nervous on the current tyres i have ordered some Michelins from my local bike shop where i got the bike, i have done 3000 miles on it now so its due a service too

many thanks for all the valid input it is most appreciated

thankyou

i pushed down lots but it just lifts the front of the bike up :s

have ordered a magnetic pickup tool. thanks for that idea. that design on the bike is stupid, so much can go down into that area

will take a pic AM and post when im at work.

is there a way to access the area inside the seat lock compartment so i can retrieve the bolt

thankyou

right had a go at the topbox and plates, all went well...sort of one of the nuts for the honda quick release plate slipped under the seat and fell down into the lock cavity for the seat, no idea i will be able to get to that and i just know its going to rattle around also i cant get the topbox to lo...

thank you all for the excellent feedback and input

i am heading into the michelin city tyres depending on price. like what gn2 said getting parts for the pcx in the UK is annoying and expensive

today was dry, this morning was frost but locally seems fine. its tonight in dark i nearly came off again tonight is quite chilly. the road it slipped on is a long industrial road which i go on to my sailing club, lots of lorries use it how much are better tyres? i think ill invest and get the bike ...

on local roads today and felt my bike slip just going along, managed to keep my balance as bike tried to unbalance this time but jerked my shoulder which is now sore, but the wheels seems really slippy and no lines or drains etc. but still if i just ride along lines and low speed i can feel the whee...
