The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Good Morning.

I bought my daughter a PCX 125 on the weekend. What an excellent little scooter! I am very happy with it.
The very very sad part is that she took a low speed spill and has grazed the entire right hand side of the scooter

I have been reading other peoples posts on this site and from what everyone is saying, if I take my time and use the correct tools I can replace the panels without TOO many problems.

My question however is this.
People have been commenting on how cheap the parts were and I couldn't figure out if people were using genuine Honda body parts? Or are most people using aftermarket parts? I have used aftermarket parts in the past with other bikes and have found the quality to be an issue so...

I really don't want to fit sub standard body parts to a brand new scooter only to find that the panels don't line up and the paint does not match etc etc.

Looking forward to some good advise

They were talking about genuine Honda parts which can be sourced cheaply if you search around.
I would counsel against replacing any panels for a few scrapes because there's every chance it will happen again...

You can get OEM parts here:

Buy a decal to cover up the worst of it until she gets used to the bike. If she can do a month or so with no little blips then replace them.

She might like to personalise it and might want to keep the stickers!
