hi to everyone,Simon from the sunny ISLE OF WIGHT uk,bought a 13 plate 125 pcx from local Honda dealer,been in the showroom unsold and so zero miles last wednesday 11/6/14,just running it in and already thinking about mods,pained the exhaust silencer silver (not keen on the black)also painted the muffler silver and fitted a Honda muffler trim....moved the dreaded hump back as i'm 6ft 1 and tilted the handlebars forward,this made it much more comfortable....currently waiting for some stainless foot plates then i'll be getting some various bits from powerpcx.

Hello, and welcome to hondapcx.or. Great to have you join us. I don't recall anyone indicating they were from the Isle of Wight ... so maybe you are a first.

Congratulations and welcome to our PCX scooter forums! I'm a real White color lover but I have to say the Red is going Ruby in my mind. Ruby as in gem! Enjoy yours and have fun! :P

Welcome along., I'd love to see what you did with the hump as i'm 6'2 so could do with moving mine.

hi,i simply re-drilled the holes about an inch further toward the back on the underside of the seat base.i think there is a post with a pic on this section showing exactly what i did.also tilting the bars forward about 3 ins made a big difference

Holes drilled 2/3" further back. SHould help you some, but at 6'2", you're still going to be cramped.

I think i may opt for a humpless seat, i prefer to sit with legs at 90° though as opposed to 45° with feet on the front of the running boards.
