The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

If anyone is interested I read where the PCX is rated highest in choice of scooters in the USA. As for me 1000 miles so far on my "Lacey" and I'm really loving this little machine for getting me to work and back each day. Beats my Can Am in gas consumption ( $.94 a day round trip). She's a...

Got the tape from a company called Streetglo on the Internet. I bought 1/2 inch but to get it to go smoothly around the curves I trimmed it down to 1/8 inch. They sell it in that width so I should have just bought it that width to start with.

I added a little more tape to my bike tonight.

@ScooterKim: yep! On my white Can Am Spyder I'm a great big visible freak of nature, but this awesomely fun little PCX has taught me plenty about the folks we share the road with. Already adjusting my riding habits.

Yeah thanks Dustin. Your post is the reason I decided to try the tape before the LED lights. In the daylight you can barely see the black tape. I wanted to use even more but thought about how it would just be that much more to remove if the need arose. I'm gonna live with this for a while and see ho...

Thanks George! The tape I ordered was 1/2 inch so I had to trim it half and half again so it was very narrow. Had I known 1/8 inch was the best width to go around curves I'd have gotten that to start with. Really surprised how such narrow tape reflects so brightly.

After several hours of trimming, crouching, and a bit of swearing. I got the reflective tape on my bike! Don't think I'm going with lights cause I'm just too lazy to install them.

Mel- I bet that guy watched you two and decided he had enough time to "make it" before you guys got to him. Perhaps only people who've never ridden before think like that.

Ben your bike is beautiful! I'm gonna do some reflective pinstriping but your lights are just great!

djcat I think it was the former. He should have seen me and he DID just before he pulled out. I could tell by his stopping short that he was intending on pulling out without looking my direction then at the last minute thought better of it. I think they all say they don't see us to cover for their p...

You You very cool and unique helmet!

You You Spyders are considered motorcycles in North America since they have less than 4 wheels. You have to get certified on the motorcycle first in order to drive one. It's a lot of fun to drive but I do need my own parking place in the lot! I've got a friend who is waiting on that Eliot Car coming...

Well today I took my new PCX 150 out on a ride following my husband on his BMW K1600 GTL. Almost took my Spyder but really wanted to find out what the scooter could do. We had a headwind the entire way of 10mph gusting to maybe 15 or so. The route north to Muenster, Tx took us along back roads throu...

I also ordered some reflective pinstriping and just got my hi viz yellow helmet in. Wearing my neon yellow hi viz vest with reflective stripes too. Maybe I'm imagining things but it seems more people are actually looking at me when I look at them now.

Good Lord be careful. I hate deer. They seem to be the only animal hard wired to run TOWARD a threat.

Well I added about a dozen reflective butterfly decals to my black PCX this afternoon. They sure are BRIGHT so I hope they help me out. In the daylight they are red so they look nice. Got them from purpleharley.com.

My husband is installing a VERY loud horn on his BMW K1600 and I'm hoping to put one on my Spyder and the PCX. I've never thought the horn on the Can Am was loud enough.

George great idea about the flashlight! I'm gonna try that out tonight. Also thanks to all for the input. You are right; I have been riding a long time and I am invisible.

Hi Dustoff! Thanks for the post cause I'm wondering about the LED lights for myself. My PCX is black and I'd like to install a strip or two under the frame over the wheels and under the floorboards. Anything other places you'd recommend? Also great job on the seat and cup holder!

Hi all! Has anyone added LED lighting to their PCX? I 'm considering it. A few mornings ago just after sunrise I was heading out to school/ work when a friend of mine nearly pulled out of a QT mart right in front of me. I was using high beams and dressed in a white armored jacket but that was it. He...
