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.

Good looking saddle but it'll take a while to get used to the rock hard feel.
Got this saddle as soon as I bought my JB03 Monkey 125 as it helps me flat foot. The saddle looks fantastic. The only downside it that it is rock hard. Takes time to get used to it. I've had it for over a year now love it. View detail
You can feel the improvement in footing.
I am under 165cm tall and have poor footing, so I bought this to improve that.
Many other people's impressions say that they can't feel any improvement in footing.
I was skeptical, but I was able to turn my leg when I straddled the ground (sorry it's hard to tell).
I knew from then on that I was wrong.
The actual footing is also very good, and I think it is a very good product for the low price.

KITACO Custom seat
Design, with Seat belt, is good overall, including Cost.
It is easy to install and the back of the Seat has the same specs as the OEM, so it is nice to be able to store documents, etc.
When the footing is on the ground, there is a little discomfort on the back of the thighs due to the angularity of the footing, but it is comfortable when driving. The footing is also slightly improved, so I think it gives a sense of security.

Best cost-effectiveness
It is perfect when you want to make changes while maintaining a genuine look. It feels wider and flat than before.And feeling of the seat height being lowered is less. I was going to do seat molding, but it was much cheaper to buy a new seat, so I'm satisfied. View detail
Although the footing will be worse, it is the best choice for eliminating steps.
The Grom jc75 has a fixed position due to a step in the OEMSeat. We purchased a flat seat from another company, which eliminated the bumps and allowed us to choose the position, but because the seat is a sliding seat that slides forward and backward, the seat slides forward even when sitting in the back. However, the seat slides down in the front and rides up in the back, so even if you are sitting in the back, the seat slides down in the front. Although the hill of the Seat was solved, it became an uncomfortable motorcycle at the expense of driving due to the suspension balance that was not appropriate. Then, I took the plunge and bought this Seat. I feel that all the hard work I have done so far has been worth it. It is expensive but the best choice. The footing will be worse, so be careful if you are small. Also, if you plan to put a tank end on it, don't. It won't go on! It will not be attached! View detail
Finally arrived.
To counteract the buttock pain characteristic of groms. lol
I read in another review that it reduces pain in the buttocks, so I decided to use it.
I had been curious about it, and decided to take the plunge and buy it.
When it comes down to it. Sold out・・・・・
So, it finally arrived the other day.
My impression after putting it on... Hmmm... it's pretty stiff. ・・・・
As others have mentioned, the seat height makes it much harder to get a good footing, but...
I think the higher and flatter seat height will change the Position quite a bit... my butt. lol
Perhaps the seat has changed the area where the buttocks contact the seat to help reduce buttock pain?
It's already off season at my place, so I'm looking forward to next season.

Thoughts on using KITACOIdeas Le Seat
The seat is comfortable and my hips don't hurt anymore even when touring long distances.
Also, the cornering is sporty and pleasant due to the higher Seat height.
I am satisfied with the quality and design. However, I think the price is a little high.

Cool Cafe Style Seat for the Monkey 125
About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of custom seat, seat base brackets are made from steel and powder coated black while the seat covering is a water resistant leather tuck-roll styled covering. About the feeling of use: Such a cool looking seat on the Monkey 125 but nowhere near as soft on the bum as the big comfy Honda seat. Products to buy together: The chrome trimmed headlight visor from Kitaco would also be desirable to purchase along side the custom seat to add to that cafe style, sadly not currently available here on Webike. Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about half an hour, attaching the Kitaco seat brackets to the base of the seat and the two rubber cushions is required. Not difficult to do. Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting a wonderful designed seat made from quality materials as compared to some of the more plain designs of the tuck roll seat from Takegawa and Overall for around this price point. About shipping and packaging: The faster shipping options are too expensive for myself so I just have to wait for my part to arrive via sea freight. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: Due to it's lower seat height this custom seat will not be suited to taller riders as comfort will be a major down side. View detail
Custom Seat from Kitaco
* About quality and texture, This stylish cafe racer designed seat is finshed in a perforated style synthetic leather around the sides and a suede style leather for the seating position. * About the feeling of use, This seat transforms the look of the Monkey 125 into a little racer but does also take away the comfort that the Honda OEM seat offers. Also great for shorter rider looking for firmer footing when stopped. * Products to buy together, I tail tidy is recommended when purchasing this seat as the Honda OEM fender extension just ruins the look of a cafe racer inspired Monkey 125. * Difficulty of installation, Installation requires attachment of the included brackets and transfering the seat setting rubbers over from the Honda OEM seat. The process was completed in 20 minutes with no difficultly. * Cost performance and comparison with other products, A little above the entry level for any aftermarket seat and there is a slightly cheaper cafe racer seat available here from Cherry but I'm happy to go with the Kitaco brand. * About shipping and packaging, I am happy to wait 8 weeks on average for my parts to arrive in Sydney Australia via Webike's sea freight which comes with tracking and insurance so I know I'm covered in case something was to go wrong but with there outstanding bubble wrapping and boxing there have been no problems. * Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, The seating position is very different from the longer and wider Honda OEM seat and may not suit everyone but it sure does look great. Use the product reviews to assist in making a decision on your purchase. View detail
Not only does it reduce buttock pain, but it also allows for greater freedom of position.
I bought the JC61First Model Type with high expectations because of the rave reviews of the JC61First Model Type, and it was a Large success.
With the OEM Seat, the position gapped every time I accelerated or decelerated, and I had to sit down again or I would get a butt ache. I have no buttock pain even if I change the position a little because the Seat is Flat.
The Merit is definitely larger than the Merit, but the non-slip SIDE of the Seat makes it easier to get a good knee grip.
Although the price is not cheap, it is a good recommendation for Grom riders to replace it first.

I wanted this attached as OEM…
Before concluding, I would like to say that it is really good.
OEMSeat has been told since the JC61, and it got just a little bit better with the JC75, but my butt still started hurting after an hour of riding, and after 3-4 hours of riding, it was getting seriously painful and slightly annoying to ride.
I bought it out of the goodness of my heart because I didn't want to lose the desire to ride the stone, and I found it more comfortable than I had expected.
At first, I did a trial run for about an hour and a half.
The thickness of the seat raises the position and makes the footing a little worse.
Instead, the front and back can sit in any position.
The increased thickness and the special pressure-dispersing Gel did not cause any pain.
The Seat base is OEM parts with Honda stamping, so there was no discomfort at all in the installation.
So, although the price is not cheap, the satisfaction level is very high.

Recommended!
To be honest, when this product first came out, I was put off by the gruff look of it, but now I've finally gotten my hands on it.
OEMSeat base, so installation is no problem.
The wide width and flat seat make it hard to get a good footing.
I had the impression that it was quite firm when I straddled it, but once I started driving, the shock to my buttocks from the fine road gapping was softly absorbed, and the riding position is flexible and the skin is non-slip, so it doesn't slide forward.
I haven't run long distances yet, but this one seems to be Large sturdy enough for an hour or so.

Kitaco seat will fit 2022 Monkey
Seat arrived safe and sound in 3 days via Fed Ex. Fast shipping. Seat looked nice, well made and was a drop in fit onto my 2022 Monkey. You will need to provide two rubber cushions which are not included with the seat. You will see what they look like in the instructions and diagram that come with seat. View detail
Great flat seat if you want something low profile
The seat is perfect! It has a very slim and low profile. It is a bit hard compared to my stock seat but it's not a big deal. The colour is black as compared to what you see on the images. View detail
It is a good Seat.
CustomImage, was a TRACKER, but I do not like the Spartan to Tracker Seat, I decided to flat shape things here.
good point
The wide seat surface allows for a high degree of freedom in positioning. No fatigue even when moving long distances.
The car looks a little large.
It's easy to fit a bag in the back.
In spite of the appearance, the internal Urethane is solid.
A bad point
It is difficult to show individuality because of its safe shape.
The shape of the seat is similar to the one that a certain actor rides in a certain drama, so it is often underestimated as a street riding main, but I think it is an excellent seat.
The Seat has an orthodox flat shape, but I was reconfirmed that such a Seat is easier to position and easier to use.

Finally - - - - -
Although it was a bad reputation of Grom Seat that was said from the time of release, it was just rumor. Not only pain but also because of V-shaped Seat shape Riding Position is restricted and it is not stable. We had a height of 180 cm, legs were also cramped, it was a situation I could not bear 100 kilometers, but I personally solved everything. For Ideas Le Seat, there was a negative opinion about shape and price, but purchased it was Large correct answer. If you think about it, Cushion nature of pain relief, feet arrival, DesignBalance, prices etc etc. I think that it was very difficult to satisfy all of them. Using OEMSeat Base, this price is this price, so it can not be said that it is high. View detail
Those who are suffering from pain in the buttocks and feet of the feet.
Installation environment
Handlebar : HURRICANEForward Conti 2 type
Rear Sets : POSH (70 mm Up, 200 mm Back)
As you can see from the product image Seat As the height and width are increasing, the foot firmly becomes bad and the position also changes.
Seat has moderate elasticity, Flat so it's easy to sit and gentle slope, so there is no forward Gap on board. The burden of the buttocks is well dispersed thanks to the built-in special Gel and the wide Seat.
The effect of anti-slip effect by Suede preparation skin of Seat side is also good, Knee grip does not enter wasteful power, and long-distance Touring is hard to get tired.
... It's a personal thing, because the legs are thick, in the previous narrow narrow Seat, the burden on the feet is very heavy and it hurts in a short time, so it hurts mad if it would run long distances However, in Seat which is wide, the pain disappeared at all, so this was the best benefit.
Neck is expensive compared with other Seats (Because it is JAPAN? By the way, OEM processed goods. ) Or a look that looked like a bottle (Especially from the back) Is it ...?

It hides, and although it is not visible, unless there is Colet, TL sheet is not attached to 4L MONKEY. Although the Stay had to be extended a little [ ], it has equipped satisfactorily. It becomes smart and is satisfactory.

Although the sheet of the different type was attached to the monkey ... The hips are painful ^^; This sheet has a very good stability feeling. Although the ran-out-of-stock state continued, it obtained at last.
