HONDA SUPER CUB 50 Custom
Japanese Custom Culture
Webike's Opinion
Here is a "HONDA SUPER CUB 50" custom by Webike community user "CHIRI TAROU". The owner of this older 1987 Cub installed non-fade brake shoe on the rear brake to stop brake squeal due to the age of the brake system, and also to provide more stable performance on the bike control. Even at a time when it is hard to find OEM parts for older bikes, this product works very well, even better than stock quality. And the handlebar, the large knuckle guards are a point of interest. This is not for protection purposes, but for thermal protection. The reason why is because it could be a windshield, so your hands won't get cold when riding in winter, making it a standard winter part. It is also equipped with an accessory front basket that you can rely on for loading when go shopping. The fine mesh of the basket can even put small things inside. The Cub is both fun to ride and easy to handle, and its fuel efficiency, which allows it to be ridden all the time, is attractive.
