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 "YAMAHA MT-03" custom by Webike community user "143". With an advanced and intrepid front face, a fuel tank cover reminiscent of a big machine image, and an inverted front suspension, the MT-03 has been a popular machine with young fans since its release. Yoshimura's R-77S exhaust further enhances the performance and sound of Yamaha's newly developed two-cylinder engine on MT03. Also, the color of this exhaust matches well with the black colored bike body. While maintaining the stock characteristics in the low to mid RPM range, the exhaust system adds more power in the mid to high RPM range. The bike itself is approx. 37% lighter than stock, and also has improved maneuverability in daily use, such as city riding, by combining "mobility" and "regular use". This model is perfect for athletic performance, but according to the owner, the handlebar vibration takes effect on his arms as the speed exceeds 90km/h. Therefore, the ultra heavy bar ends are installed. The outer parts are made of aluminum, so the color can be freely selected to match the bike body. Of course, black was selected. On the other hand, it is inevitable that the wind comes directly to the chest area of a naked rider, but a larger size and a special windshield is necessary to keep the coolness. POWER BRONZE windshield would be a good choice for the frontal view. The MT-03 has also undergone a number of other customizations, based on a dark style customization, and combines sharp and dynamic styling with a light and nimble ride.
