Filter fitting kit

Post by Urbanfreestyle »

Hey all,

So recently i bought this filter and when it came to fitting, i dismantled the bike to fit it and realised it didn't fit! It was sold as universal kit but i was wondering if anyone knew where to get a fitting kit for the '13 PCX 125 as the carb seems to be slightly off angle.

Can anyone advise how to fit these / sell me the bracket / pipework for a reasonable price?

I don't think there is any fitting kit for that, make your own.
Make a bracket(flat piece of metal???) attach that to the filter(bracket) and probably the top cvt cover bolts.
If the supplied pipe doesn't line up, use piece/pieces of radiator hose as needed and or cut the pipe as needed.

Or stick with standard airbox that Honda thoughtfully didn't attach with bent metal and cut up pieces of coolant pipe?

Just a thought.

If you want to ride around on something that looks like you just cobbled it together from random junk, best not to start with a brand new PCX, get down the local scrapper and buy a pre-trashed p.o.s. at a fraction of the cost.

The reason i asked was because powerbypcx offer this filter to fit the pcx. Though someone may have some pictures / diagrams to assist, i think i'll sell this on and get another designed for the bike at a later stage.
