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 "DAXRIDER". This DAX, which was renewed in 1995, has been ridden for 25 years since the owner bought it when he was a college student. And now he still uses it for commuting. It's an vintage bike that is both nostalgic and stylish, but it seems to have been customized with an emphasis on atmosphere. The DAX has a very small fuel tank capacity so it is not suitable for long trips. The combination of SP TAKEGAWA Bomber exhaust with Φ80 silencer and Φ35 exhaust pipe produces a great exhaust note that lives up to the name of "Bomber". The rearsets part was carefully customized with G-craft shift guides and seesaw pedals. For wheels, G-craft 10-inch 4 spoke wheel kit was installed. The rear shock is an aluminum absorber by SP TAKEGAWA, which improves riding stability on the street and also helps to reduce the weight of the rear shock itself. While this bike has been customized in various ways, it can be seen that it is not too flashy, but overall cohesive. Although breakdowns are inevitable after many years of riding, restoring a beloved vintage bike is a unique pleasure for its owner, isn't it?
