Old GROM (MSX-125) Owner Solves Your Problems! Custom Parts for City Riding and Touring

The GROM (MSX-125) covers a wide range of nostalgia from beginners who just got their license to veterans who want a second motorcycle.

It's been more than half a year since the new model went on sale, but I still love the old GROM (MSX-125)! I have no intention of switching! I am sure that there must be many people who love the old GROM (MSX-125) and have no intention of switching to the new one. I myself am very satisfied with my first model (JC61).

However, it is also a fact that there are various complaints with the stock motorcycle. In this issue, I would like to introduce recommended custom parts for city riding and touring for such type 1 and 2 (JC75) users from the owner's point of view.

My butt hurts! Everyone worries about ticking OEM seat countermeasures

KITACO: Ideal Seat

If you've ever taken a long trip in a GROM (MSX-125), you immediately thought: OEM seat, is it too hard? Even though it's a 125cc, I want to go touring for long distances! I was one of them.

However, the OEM seat was so hard that my butt started hurting after 100 km, and I had to repeat sitting and standing because I couldn't sit properly.

This is the most powerful item that solves such problems in one shot! This is the Ideal Seat from KITACO.

This product uses a special gel material with excellent shock-absorbing properties, and its comfort is like that of a sofa. However, it does not reduce the amount of information from the road surface, nor does it slide, achieving an excellent balance. After replacing it with this one, my butt didn't crack even after a long touring of 400km round trip. (Tested)

Handling wheel shake! Vibration countermeasures unique to single-cylinder engines

ENDURANCE: Handlebar Crossbar D

The single-cylinder engine in the GROM (MSX-125) has a lot of vibration, and this vibration is transmitted to the handlebars, which are always shaking. Here is a wonderful part that reduces such unpleasant handlebar vibration! This is the Handlebar Crossbar D from ENDURANCE. (Is it more commonly known as a handlebar brace?)

At first glance, some may think that it is just a dress-up part. Some may think it is, but when you actually put it on, you will notice that vibration is indeed reduced. Moreover, depending on how you use it, it can be applied as a smartphone mounting bar, and it also looks and feels custom-made, an amazing three birds with one stone. Please try it and see for yourself.

I want more cargo! Secure your load capacity!

HURRICANE: Rear Carrier

One of the most popular GROM (MSX-125) customizations is the addition of a rear carrier. With the OEM one, you can't carry any luggage at all, and you have to tour with a backpack all the time. Once you add this HURRICANE rear carrier, you can use a loading rope to hold your luggage together, or attach a GIVI base to attach a box.
Now you can get rid of that annoying backpack life! The load capacity will go up at once and you will not be able to go back to the original state. If you can carry luggage on your commuter rapid, you are invincible, aren't you?

Dress-up parts for your own one-of-a-kind motorcycle

I see a lot of GROM (MSX-125) around town. I want to add something unique to my motorcycle. So, let's try adding some dress-up parts! I recommend 3 dress-up parts for you!

HURRICANE: Tailtidy Kit

If you think GROM (MSX-125) OEM fenders aren't cool enough, this is it! I recommend replacing it with a tail tidy kit. This will refresh the rearview and make the GROM (MSX-125) look a little street fighter! Please be careful not to splash mud. When you are leading the touring after rain, you will get complaints from the riders behind you.
What? Why HURRICANE again? After all, it's all about cosmetics! Compared to large motorcycles, parts for mini-bikes are much more economical.

BABYFACE: Axle Cup

Fashion starts from the feet first? For owners who think of total coordination like that, BABYFACE axle cups! The gold and red colors of this product do not just add a point of interest. You can also expect a protection effect that will protect your brake calipers and discs in the event of a fall.

When you go to a mini-bike course, you will see many people wearing this product. This is a recommended item for those who want something extra in addition to dress-up. It is necessary to be able to jack up the motorcycle to install this product.

DAYTONA: Windshield SS

A large screen made by DAYTONA, a part that is both dress-up and practical to the max!
It provides amazing wind protection for long-distance touring and winter city driving.
There are also meter visors, but bigger is better. Comfort is different. If you are particular about style, a meter visor may be more comfortable for you. This product is a handle-mounted type.

Summary: Welcome to the GROM (MSX-125) Custom Swamp!

The old GROM (MSX-125) is still very popular and custom parts are still available in abundance. Moreover, it is one-of-a-kind for those who like the round eyes of the Type 1 and the Gundam face design of the Type 2.
In the next issue, we will introduce custom parts for mountain passes and tracks. If you want to get into the GROM (MSX-125) custom swamp, please take a look there as well.
