Style, Comfort, and Reliability: HONDA CT125 HUNTER Cub(Trail125) Custom

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA CT125 HUNTER Cub(Trail125)" custom by Webike community user "K16". The owner describes motorcycles as "the worst form of transportation! It is hot in summer and cold in winter! If it rains, you get wet, and it's hard to ride!" However, despite this ironic statement, he loves both cars and motorcycles and has ridden 12 motorcycles so far. The owner had decided to install the MORIWAKI ROUGH GEAR Full Exhaust even before getting this bike. The surface of the pipe is made of stainless steel with a hairline finish, giving it a military touch. The sound is very pleasant, especially when the throttle is pulled back! The owner, who suffers from back pain, couldn't ride for more than 80 km with the stock suspension. He was looking for an adjustable model and found the K-SPEED Diablo Shock Absorber. The difference in damping force adjustment is so significant that even an insensitive person can feel the change with just one click. His back pain no longer bothers him even after riding 200 km since the installation. The stock seat is too soft, making long touring uncomfortable. The K-SPEED Diablo Seat is a lowered seat and is as firm as seats on other bikes (like the ZX-14R). The stock seat of the Cub series is not necessarily cool. However, this seat makes the bike more stylish. The CT125's front light was too dark, making nighttime riding dangerous. The SP TAKEGAWA LED Fog Light is surprisingly bright and provides a sense of security not only at night but also during the daytime on forest roads when alerting oncoming vehicles. No modification of the bike cowl or wiring is required, ensuring safe riding with a simple installation. There are carriers from various manufacturers, but the type that fixed to the light bracket is not recommended. It will put a lot of stress on the fork attachment, and it might break even without loading anything. The HONDA Front Rack has a well-thought-out mounting point and does not have such problems. Also, as shown in the photo, the SP TAKEGAWA Small DN Tachometer can be installed without any interference with the Rack. With the stock side stand, when a large box is attached to the rear of the bike, the front tire lifts up and the bike falls over when pulled slightly, because the weight is shifted to the rear. To solve this instability, the ENDURANCE Reinforced Side Stand Bracket was installed. If you are planning to customize your CT125, it is recommended to install this first! Despite the owner's playful remarks about motorcycles, his love for both cars and motorcycles is undeniable. With these thoughtful modifications, the CT125 has become the ultimate adventure companion, combining style, comfort, and reliability.
