Honda NC750 – 1200mm Extra-Wide Door ArmadilloBoxes Installation
Honda NC750 secure outdoor motorcycle storage
Introduction
The Honda NC750 is a practical, commuter-focused motorcycle designed for everyday use. When garage space isn’t available, outdoor storage needs to be secure, weatherproof, and easy to access without making daily riding inconvenient.
This installation shows how an ArmadilloBoxes steel motorcycle storage unit with an extra-wide door provides secure outdoor storage for a Honda NC750 while remaining simple to use on a day-to-day basis.
Customer requirement
The owner required outdoor motorcycle storage that:
-
securely accommodates a Honda NC750
-
prioritises ease of use for regular commuting
-
provides genuine theft resistance rather than cosmetic deterrence
-
protects the motorcycle from year-round weather exposure
The real-world challenge
Commuter motorcycles like the NC750 are often used daily, which means storage must be quick and predictable to access. Narrow door openings and lightweight sheds can make frequent use awkward and discourage proper storage.
A suitable storage solution needs sufficient door clearance, rigidity, and stability so the bike can be rolled in and out smoothly without repeated adjustments.
The solution
A 1200mm wide ArmadilloBoxes secure motorcycle storage unit with an extra-wide door was chosen to improve everyday usability. The rigid steel construction forms a strong base layer of security, while the extra-wide door opening allows straightforward access for regular commuting.
For owners comparing options, the ArmadilloBoxes size guide helps determine the most suitable unit width for commuter and touring motorcycles.
A steel unit also provides a stronger security foundation than timber sheds, which is why many riders review motorcycle security options alongside their storage choice.

Honda NC750 storage FAQs
Will a Honda NC750 fit in a 1200mm ArmadilloBoxes unit?
Yes. The 1200mm ArmadilloBoxes unit with an extra-wide door provides ample clearance for the NC750’s handlebars and mirrors in typical configurations.
Is an extra-wide door beneficial for a commuter motorcycle?
Yes. An extra-wide door improves ease of use and makes frequent access quicker and more controlled.
Is a steel motorcycle shed more secure than a wooden shed?
Steel storage units provide a much stronger base level of security than timber sheds, which can be forced quickly.
Do I need a concrete base?
No. An ArmadilloBox does not require a concrete base. The unit is structurally sound and can be installed directly onto grass or gravel without damaging the sub-base. Its own weight keeps it stable even before the motorcycle is stored inside.
The units are very rigid and can be packed during installation to bring the door square, allowing accurate alignment on uneven ground. However, like any structure, they should not be installed where water is allowed to pool, and the ground should be free-draining.
