My CB's new little buddy

What is inside that giant plastic box beneath the fuel tank?

The air cleaner? Fuel injection system?

Still waiting to see one at my local dealer.

I have been considering adding a Monkey to the family for some time now. It would be nice to have a short hop bike to just get out and take a short ride on a moments notice. Then too, something small like the Monkey might just extend my being able to enjoy riding for several more years, when I get to the point that a full size bike would not be a good idea anymore.

With all that in mind, I also discovered a custom parts supplier, Kitaco, that has some things that I personally would want to add, if I were to pull the trigger and buy a Monkey. Kitaco is in Thailand. I reached out to Mr. T. about Kitaco, and he said he could get their parts. Meanwhile I also discovered that a search on Ebay, "Honda Monkey" will pull up a plethora of Kitaco parts. Among others, I like Kitacos front fender lowering ( to normal position ) kit, and the rubber rear fender extension elimination kit. Moriwaki is also making some custom parts in addition to exhausts.

I have posted a link to a Youtube video walk around of a Monkey with all kinds of Kitaco parts installed, and a link to an EBay listing for a Kitaco front fender lowering kit as examples. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXkTLUvw-tg https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Z125-Monk...SwT-BbuMzx

And the Monkey will do 112 mph before the speed limiter kicks in. Big Grin

I think everybody should have one. Just looking at it will put you in a good mood. Its amazing the size it is also. And comfortable to sit on. For 2020 they have a blue and white version. Saw it on HondaProKevin. Really like it.

Something is off on that last one. Wait, got it - it's missing enough seat space for Jack Nicholson to ride on the back.
