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 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.
