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-07" custom by Webike community user "Aku Aku Rara". The owner decided to buy it because it was lightweight, inexpensive, easy to customize with because it had few advanced features, and had plenty of stock parts. At first glance from the front, having thought it was an XSR700. The LED headlight and cover kit, along with many other custom parts made by German custom builder - JvB Moto, a solo seat, tank center cowl, and enduro-type footpegs in combination, give the bike a Neo-Retro look and since these are bolt-on parts, they are easy to be installed and removed. By adding parts that enhance the classic look, the machine has a distinctly different atmosphere from the stock model. The performance side of the machine is enhanced by the SP Tadao POWERBOX full exhaust system made of ultra-light stainless steel, and the short style of the exhaust is aimed at mass centralization to enhance the quality of the ride, bringing out the pleasant pulse of the big twin that keeps you riding. The stock MT's chronic disease of heavy thumping at low rpm has been eliminated by rewriting the ECU. The replacement of the bar-end mirrors gives the handlebar area a cleaner, more custom look. And the round mirrors are very compatible with the Scrambler custom that the owner is aiming for. If the tires are changed to a more off-road pattern, it can be called a "Pure Scrambler".
