Newbie in Yokohama Japan

Post by bobsanthebuilder »

:) Posted this in the Forza section by mistake. To cut the story short, Im now the proud owner of a 2013 PCX 125 and have clocked up a staggering 500kms since bought new in January. I cant fault the bike apart from the seat and for me its not a biggy. Just wondering if the humpless 2014 seat will be an easy fit for the 2013 model and if so can it be purchased here in Japan? Anyone out there have the same idea or experience already? Also, does anyone have suggestions for the insurance here in Japan including damage and theft. Only cover I can find is not worth having as it only covers what the compulsary insurance covers more or less it seams. Ride Safe PLEASE

Welcome to the forums! :D

I have no idea if the seat will fit or not, the 2014 is too new to tell yet. They look very similar though, so there's a chance.

Greetings. If the 2014 version seat doesn't fit, go to powerbypcx.com and look at their seats. We got ours from them. They are in Thailand, which is where the PCX is manufactured.
Currently own:
Red 2013 Honda PCX150

Givi tall windshield & tailbox - Lots of extra lights
Custom seat from Thailand - Bad Boy Airhorn
Takegawa Lowering Shocks - Michelin City Grip Tires
Headlight assy upgraded to LEDs w/HS5 main bulbs
NCY variator, drive face, and rollers
