[K・TOUR] HIGH Grab Bar

Fits: HONDA DAX125

Japanese Webike user

4/5

It is easier to handle! On the other hand, some people need to be careful how they ride.

[How is it used?
I did not like the Plating color of the OEM Grab Bar and wanted to change the Image.

Was the one you received as per Image?
The color was a nice Matte Black, just like the image.

Was the installation difficult?
Even a novice like me could install it without any difficulty, and even without special tools for motorcycles, I could install it with common tools I have at home.

How was your experience with it?
First of all, in terms of looks, I personally thought that the replacement made the car look somewhat larger than OEM, which I thought was quite a nice touch.
In addition, when I handle the motorcycle (when backing it up at a bicycle parking lot, etc.), I hold the handlebar with my left hand and the grab bar with my right hand, which is much easier to do.

Also, I was able to hang Helmet on the Grab Bar, which was convenient when I wanted to leave it there for a while.

[Included Parts:were they on?
None in particular

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
One disappointing or unexpected point is that I often hit the Grab Bar near my shin when I straddle the Motorcycle.
I guess it depends on your height, but for me, 185cm 75kg standard build, I have had many painful experiences.
Well, to say that it is a bad way to ride is an understatement.

【Review】
I thought I had purchased this product just to change the look, but it has been a fun product to discover many things, such as better handling, hanging helmets, and sore snouts.
By the way, we do not do Tandem, so that is not included in the evaluation. View detail

One pointAccent is Recommendation!

It is a world of self-satisfaction, but the area around the Top Bridge was plain, so I installed it as a One Point Accent. As I expected, it became a little more gorgeous. (Lol) It is a RECOMMENDATION because of its cosmetics.
In addition, from a practical standpoint, I feel that it is easier to locate the Key cylinder because it stands out in the dark.

It's not so much construction as it is peeling off the release paper on the back side of the product and using the Icon on the Key cylinder. (Power On, etc.) It only takes a minute to complete the process. View detail

Down Fender Bracket Set

Fits: HONDA MONKEY125, HONDA MONKEY125

NO NAME

4/5

Gives an overall better look for an all road orientated Monkey

About quality and texture, I can confirm the quality great and the material used is steel plate with a satin black painted finish.About the feeling of use, This down fender bracket set gives an overall better look for an all road orientated Monkey but it would be nice if the bracket had some adjustment to fine tune the height and angle of the fender.Products to buy together, By relocating the front fender from it's original position you have exposed the horn which looks cheap, the addition of a horn cover or horn relocation kit to your cart would be recommended.Difficulty of installation, I can say the fitment of the down fender bracket set for my installation was easy due to the ease of access to all the mounting bolts and included instuctions on how to assemble the set.Cost performance and comparison with other products, The pricing of this product is great You receive parts made from good quality material and the design of the set is solid. There are a few higher priced options similar to this product but with more attractive parts in their set, in the end they achieve the same outcome.About shipping and packaging, My order was shipped within 24 hours of the product being in stock and I received a few emails advising me of the status up until the order was dispatched. The order arrived within the estimated date range and was extremely well packaged. I found the link supplied to track my order very useful while I was waiting for the order to land in the country. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, I have no concerns or cautions when purchasing from Webike. I cannot recommend Webike enough for the majority of your biking needs. They not only sell aftermarket parts and bike gear but also OEM parts for your repairs and servicing needs. View detail

4/5

Used on JC75 Grom. Probably only one turnout.

When replacing the clutch cover on the Grom, the centrifugal filter has to be removed, but without this I was reluctant to purchase it because I could not remove the nut that is deep in the clutch cover.

The Ratchet plug is 12.7mm, and the one I had was only 9mm, so I purchased a Conversion Adapter separately.

The length of this Adapter just reached the insertion hole, so we did not need to use Extension.

Once the centrifugal filter is removed, this part is no longer needed. View detail

Well Nut

Fits: Others

Japanese Webike user

4/5

Replacement of aged well nut

The well nut used to hold the screen in place had deteriorated over time and had become chica-chica, so we replaced it. I am not sure if the old well nut was OEM or external, or how long it had been in use, but it seemed to have been in use for quite some time, and had hardened, leaving it in a tightened shape that made me think it might have been over-tightened.
In this case, we chose KITACO's product, which is less expensive than OEM's. The number of KITACO's product was 5 pieces, whereas we needed 6 pieces, so we used 2Quantity:I purchased a set. I think the number of units needed depends on the type of car and the location where it is used, but I don't think that 5 units are needed very often. Well, it is still cheaper than buying 6 OEM ones.
There is nothing particularly difficult about the installation, but removing the hardened old well nut was a large challenge, and we had to be careful not to damage the cowl by using radio pliers and picks. Once the old ones were removed, all that was left was to put the new well nuts through the cowl holes.
I installed it, and there is no particular problem, but in the review of other people who used this product on daeg, the size was Exactly to the Cowl depression, but on zrx1100, the diameter of the Well nut umbrella was a little small in relation to the Cowl depression.
As a matter of course, the new Well Nut will protect the Screen from vibration because the Rubber is newer and therefore more flexible. View detail

Smart Key Sticker

Fits: HONDA PCX160, HONDA PCX125, HONDA DIO110, HONDA LEAD125, HONDA ADV160

Japanese Webike user

3/5

Frankly, it's subtle.

I purchased this product to dress-up my PCX160 Smart key.
The Instruction Manual states Align the bottom edge of the Seal with the paste location and paste." but I knew from other people's impressions that it did not match HONDA's Logo, so I checked the position first.
As a result, it was found that the top edge would protrude if the Logo was used as a reference, so it was decided to Cut the Logo after pasting it.
If the Size was just right and thick enough, I would have given it 5 stars, but it was a little disappointing.
I would like to see a Manufacturer option with Logo printed on it instead of leaving it to Other Brand Products. View detail

Ideal Seat

Fits: HONDA glom

Japanese Webike user

5/5

Seat height will be increased, but it is a necessity for touring.

■ Design
Unlike the RedStitch, the Ideal Seat has a more gentle design than the OEMSeat, which has an uneven design that clearly separates the Passenger from the Space. The Ideal Seat has a gentle design.

■Sitting comfort
The seat itself is firmer, but vibration is clearly reduced compared to the OEMSeat. The reduced unevenness of the seat provides more space for riding, making it easier for people with large builds to ride. In particular, the use of Gel in the buttocks has the effect of making the impact of pushing up almost imperceptible. Thanks to this, pain when sitting for a long time is reduced. However, I still feel pain when I stay in the same position, and I have the impression that the pain does not linger.

■Touch feeling
The top surface is an uneven dimple mesh. It is a little slippery to the touch, but the SIDE is non-slip, so it is easy to change posture without slipping too much.

■Footwear
Since the width and height of the Seat increases, the footing naturally worsens. It feels as if the seat is 5 cm higher than it was before.

General Comment
The quality is at a level where it would not be out of place even if sold as an OEM product. 30,000 yen or more for the parts for a mini bike makes it an expensive part, but I think the cost-effectiveness is high. Especially for those who ride long distances in the same posture, it is a must-have item. View detail
