Japanese Custom Culture

Here is an original series "JCC" stands for "Japan Custom culture" written by Webike Japan. There is no doubt that Japan has one of the best and unique custom parts and its culture in the motorcycle industry, but the language barrier has led to the closure of JDM motorcycle culture to the outside of Japan. Through this JCC contents, we present you one of a kind custom and mods bikes by professional craftmen and enthusiasts who just can't stop loving motorcycle.

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA CRF1000L AfricaTwin" custom by Webike community user "eagle800". The owner bought this bike because he wanted to do outdoor activities with it, such as camping and touring. It’s the most fun at normal rpm range in this bike, but the 270-degree crankshaft's high output characteristic makes the owener hard to control the accelerator work. It still can be used for a variety of purposes, from long distance trips of over 1,000km to blasting down flat dirt roads. The exhaust is an AKRAPOVIC slip-on exhaust. In addtion, the parts around the handlebar are almost all made by ZETA, such as pivot clutch lever, racer's reversible brake lever and stem cap. The ODAX POWER BRONZE sport flip windshield was installed to make it extended in length and width compare to stock. Increasing the tip of the windshield greatly reduces the wind pressure. What's more, a variable spoiler by MRA is added on top of ODAX's windshield for even more wind protection. The customization of this bike is too much to mention, and it is a custom style for the experts who have become bored and unsatisfied with the daily touring.
