Custom-Sitz

Got this saddle as soon as I bought my JB03 Monkey 125 as it helps me flat foot. The saddle looks fantastic. The only downside it that it is rock hard. Takes time to get used to it. I've had it for over a year now love it.

About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of custom seat, seat base brackets are made from steel and powder coated black while the seat covering is a water resistant leather tuck-roll styled covering.About the feeling of use: Such a cool looking seat on the Monkey 125 but nowhere near as soft on the bum as the big comfy Honda seat.Products to buy together: The chrome trimmed headlight visor from Kitaco would also be desirable to purchase along side the custom seat to add to that cafe style, sadly not currently available here on Webike.Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about half an hour, attaching the Kitaco seat brackets to the base of the seat and the two rubber cushions is required. Not difficult to do.Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting a wonderful designed seat made from quality materials as compared to some of the more plain designs of the tuck roll seat from Takegawa and Overall for around this price point.About shipping and packaging: The faster shipping options are too expensive for myself so I just have to wait for my part to arrive via sea freight. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: Due to it's lower seat height this custom seat will not be suited to taller riders as comfort will be a major down side.

* About quality and texture, This stylish cafe racer designed seat is finshed in a perforated style synthetic leather around the sides and a suede style leather for the seating position.* About the feeling of use, This seat transforms the look of the Monkey 125 into a little racer but does also take away the comfort that the Honda OEM seat offers. Also great for shorter rider looking for firmer footing when stopped.* Products to buy together, I tail tidy is recommended when purchasing this seat as the Honda OEM fender extension just ruins the look of a cafe racer inspired Monkey 125.* Difficulty of installation, Installation requires attachment of the included brackets and transfering the seat setting rubbers over from the Honda OEM seat. The process was completed in 20 minutes with no difficultly.* Cost performance and comparison with other products, A little above the entry level for any aftermarket seat and there is a slightly cheaper cafe racer seat available here from Cherry but I'm happy to go with the Kitaco brand.* About shipping and packaging, I am happy to wait 8 weeks on average for my parts to arrive in Sydney Australia via Webike's sea freight which comes with tracking and insurance so I know I'm covered in case something was to go wrong but with there outstanding bubble wrapping and boxing there have been no problems.* Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, The seating position is very different from the longer and wider Honda OEM seat and may not suit everyone but it sure does look great.

Seat arrived safe and sound in 3 days via Fed Ex. Fast shipping. Seat looked nice, well made and was a drop in fit onto my 2022 Monkey. You will need to provide two rubber cushions which are not included with the seat. You will see what they look like in the instructions and diagram that come with seat.
