Where to buy CT125 accessories??

[fijiman]

I am in search of the following:

Side Rack
Center rack
Headlight cover /rack
etc

Where do you buy your CT125 accessories from if you're in the USA? I am not sure if there is a local manufacturer? I've been looking at https://beezdeals.com/

Are there any other places people used and had good luck on shipping/prices?

Will appreciate the feedback.

Thanks!

Buy from beez, pay for the air shipping and you are done. I use the site, not eBay.

I like the H2C stuff, others have their favorites too

Thanks, that is what I was thinking as well....not sure if they do bundle shipping...do you know?

Webike...

Beez will bundle shipping but be sure to read when they email you because if something isn't stock you might want to have a partial order shipped instead of waiting up to several months for something to come back into stock with all the global supply chain issues. Same for Webike.

I've used:
WeBike
SteadyGarage
Beez Deals
and eBay but I think it came from one of them anyway.
WeBike was the fastest on some parts for wife's Super Cub, none of them were horribly slow.
The shipping is painful so try this one weird trick: Try to buy "in stock" parts only, try to get from one place if possible, and keep checking your cart + shipping to see if you're in budget.
I hated adding over 10% of what the bike cost in accessories but it only hurts once (hopefully) and I didn't buy the Trail as a budget bike.
Between hondatrail125.com and youtube you can see what people think of the accessories you're looking at. It's proved so useful to me I keep looking for the "donate" button on this site!
Final trick: if you're not in a hurry I've seen lots of forum members post like-new parts with much cheaper shipping.

Beez deals, I clicked on their CT125 and selected pretty much all that I wanted to get, H2C front rack, H2C middle rack, side rack and 3l gas tank, Diablo front light and back ligh/blinker covers etc..

Total was 250 but then the 140 shipping on top of that, site says 2-7days but both boxes were actually delivered under 12 days to midwest, not bad for halfway around the world.

I won't endorse this but for completeness, Some Guy Rides has a story attached on his gear list for the TAT and did have success going a different route. If you wish to go this route, click through to his gear list, scroll to almost the bottom, and go from there. The information included is here for reference.

BUYER BEWARE: Buying from this vendor means wiring money blindly with no protection. There is also a difference culturally in the way business is done at a small shop in Chang Mai, Thailand. Don’t expect immediate responses. Expect to be worried that you’ve been ripped off. If you don’t have the patience or the stomach for this kind of transactions, use WeBike or Beez. I took the risk because I am a cheap bastard who doesn’t mind a gamble and I was looking for the best bang for my buck and I thought that the sites like WeBike and Beez were a rip off. Working with this vendor worked out great for me. I take no responsibility for what your experience might be!

All of the racks are from “CT125 Accessories Parts”. I found them on Facebook. I was pretty surprised by the cost of CT125 accessories I was seeing on Ebay or WeBikes or the other usual places – (plus the crazy international shipping). This place is located in Chang Mai, Thailand and is legit (in my experience) despite the lack of a website. The racks are high quality and solid. Everything lined up and fit correctly. They don’t have a website and they only take wire transfer – so there is definitely a bit of a leap of faith involved. And communication is different from what you’d get from an established company with a fancy website. But their prices are very very good (and I’m cheap). They shipped via Thai Post – which I recommend… It was relatively cheap and came quickly. I’m pretty sure 2 week shipping was $200 or 2-3 months was $60. But it comes quicker than that. It was all very well packed. No instructions – but I emailed them a question and they got back to me with photos and an explanation right away.

I don’t get anything out of recommending this – I just had good luck with them. Here’s a link. Talk to Jednipit and tell him Angelo sent you.

-- link removed, see Angelo's gear list for the link --

Here’s what I paid. This is much cheaper than I saw anywhere else.

I think that it's very likely this is a completely reasonable way to do business, but I wouldn't personally take this approach myself.

Indeed very risky as taking payment other than wire is pretty easy and decently cheap these days. They're probably a couple of guys buying local Taiwan stuff, local prices, running up only a slight markup as opposed to the bike webike ect. The big risk is: they gets 10-50 orders in and decide to disappear.

This is a weird one; culturally I'm closer to Thailand than I am to America, so I understand why this would work and how it would be ok for lots of reasons. 20 years ago when my finances were in a different state, I would have been ok with buying from someone like this (EDIT: or if I was heavily modifying my bike in an all-or-nothing fashion). However now that I'm in a different tax bracket, I have a lot more options and I'm ok with paying a little extra to deal with a bigger company or even going the custom fabrication route. Won't stop me complaining about the cost of 2x4's though .

The risk associated with this is why I removed the link and deferred instead to use Angelo's link even after copying the generalized information. If he discovers some shady business going on, he'll nuke the link and post a warning on his gear list. The fact remains though that if you're going to completely kit your Trail 125 out, do a bulk order and really go whole hog, this is a great opportunity to save a ton of money and get a really sexy build going.

Small Bike Stuff have a video on the topic of buying items from the overseas when there isn't a store front:

IMO best to stick with online stores that others have had experience with before to avoid risk of scam or just miscommunication, but if you really want something that's hard to get it's good to know how to.

Prices are atrocious for canadians 300$ shipping fee over an outex exhaust on webike???

 

[dmonkey]

If you do end up ordering an Outex exhaust for your Canadian CT125 be sure to order the JA65 (2023+) one and not the one for the first generation CT125 (JA55).
