HONDA DAX Custom

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 DAX" custom by Webike community user "Fuku Bucho". The DAX is full of modifications, but it is designed for use from home to long-distance touring. The front rack is the strongest accessory for loading when shopping on the trip away from home. The wheels have been replaced with cast aluminum wheels specially designed for the DAX 4-spoke hubs, which increase both rigidity and riding performance, giving the DAX a modern ride, as if it has been transformed from a "light truck" into a "passenger car". The ride quality is now modern. Not only the suspension, but also the handlebars were heavily modified. When the G-Craft stem and NSR50 front forks were replaced, DAYTONA's Ride Bar II handlebars were incorporated. The size, looks, and position of the handlebars are different from the stock one, and the front and rear positions can be adjusted, which allows for a wider range of settings. The stock engine was not powerful enough, so a CD90 engine was installed. The other customizations are too many to mention. As this owner says, "I bought DAX because I can customize it as much as I want."
