Honda CT 125 Full Seat Accessory

- I've always wanted a full size seat for my Honda CT, yet what was offered didn't look that good and required a lot to install. Motolord has a new seat for the Honda CT125 that not only looks sharp, it's a breeze to install. Set back and see for yourself......
Авто/Мото
This might be a must for me, I am 6’3” and always find myself sitting on the back of the seat
It will give you room to move around and actually set on it like a regular motorcycle. I kept setting on the back part of the seat and occasionally on top of the bar on the rack......
Eddie I pissed my self laughing at this ……looking at your gonads for 2 minutes isn’t really my thing. Your intro and editing is second to none…very clever mate. Bob.
Bob, Bob, you're supposed to be looking at the seat. How am I ever going to play golf with you again thinking you'd like to smack one of my balls down the fairway????? Glad you liked the intro and editing, I aim to please...... "-)
Awesome looking seat. The best aftermarket I've seen thus far.
Yes, I agree it is the best design of any of the aftermarket long seats I've seen. It really was a snap to installl also with the only glitch being the seat latch bolt hitting the bottom of the seat and not allowing it to latch. A simple mold adjustment by Motolord could fix this to allow room for the bolt sticking up..... Feels good and a bit softer than stock. I really like the extra room it has to adjust for any condition while riding trails......
I like the look of all the racks on your CT125. It makes the bike look "safari", somewhat like the RE Himalayan.
There are several different brands of racks on here. On the headlight there is the crash bar and storage rack above it, both are from the Cub House here in Chiang Mai. The down tube rack is also from the Cub House. the rear rack is a Diablo from K-speed and the crash bar that also cradles the engine is from Motolord. I'm not real sure who makes the crash bar on the tail end of my exhaust pipe, but it may also be from Motolord...... That's all of them and they work great, can't complain about any of them......
Like your video style.
Great-looking seat that is. Good price, too. I watched another Thailand / CT125 seat video before this, and that fella had a great seat for a great price, too. Seems Thai products for the CT125 are good and cheap. Great!
The prices here for after market accessories are by far cheaper than in the US and other countries. Heck, living here is much cheaper than in the US. The seat really was easy to install and was pretty comfortable, but I kept finding myself setting farther and farther back on the seat, so I am not trying the stop seat out again.... Not sure which one to use......
looks good! i just got a long seat in for my Super Cub c125 from a company in Bangkok called BoranClassic/ BRC Custom. it was a great price but the shipping to New York was more than the seat itself lol
I had a give-away for some sprockets on the CT125 and the shipping to the US was four times the cost of the sprocket, to Australia was the cost of the sprocket...... Not only that, the guy in Australia got his in less than two weeks while the guy in Florida US got his two months later..... That is what shocked me.......
Good looking seat Eddie. I made the round trip today to get my bike. Left at 6:45am and got back at 4:30pm with my new CT125. Awesome. I haven't ridden it yet. To much of a mess here from the melting snow. I like that seat but I don't think, at least at this point I would want to give up my space on the back of the bike. We'll see. Maybe they will make a seat of the factory size, if they don't already. Thanks for the video.
Glad to hear you now have your bike, be careful in that snow, it's to easy to tip over. Meanwhile, you can set on it in your garage and watch my videos and dream like it's you blasting through the trails......
I’m not sitting on the bike in the garage…,..right now, but I am watching some of your videos. 😂
@@luvbgrass Well, I guess that is going to have to do until the weather breaks for you.... Enjoy them.....
That Motolord seat looks great! I cutoff the bar on the luggage rack that sticks up because my tailbone was hitting it and like you I did not see any other good seat option until now. Thanks for sharing!
Look motolord up and see what all it would take to get one shipped to you. Beezdeals might have them as they seem to be able to acquire all kinds of products that are available now...... I like the seat, very comfortable and the horn on the rack doesn't even get noticed now........
@@TeamDNFracing I live in Thailand..I found the seat on Lazada..Thanks
@@terrykeil6751 You'll like it, gives you so much more room than the stock seat......
@@TeamDNFracing Do you know of anyone who has tried the Diablo Custom Seat Honda CT125? Is that a comfortable seat? Not sure I want to loose my rack space..Thanks!
@@terrykeil6751 I can tell you what both Daniel and Robert have done to their seats. They took the seat to an upholstery shop and had them add some more seat foam, the super soft stuff. It made a world of difference on how soft it was. I may do that also.....
I re-watched this video again four nights ago when it came up when I was searching for MotolordD accessories. I remember watching it a year ago, but didn't pay attention to the outcome of the seat later in the year. I have a leftover MotolordD rear box sitting on the shelf, and was thinking I might try to outfit my new yellow CT125 with MotorlordD accessories. Unfortunately, the box and the long seat don't work together. I then started watching forward to see when you removed the seat, as I don't remember seeing it on El Diablo. I didn't realize until re-watching all the videos that it looks like Robert mounted the same seat and still has his installed? It works well with his small tail box. I think the long seat may have been discontinued, but I see a new MotolordD shorter seat that has similar upholstery and comes in three patterns: Diamond; Vertical; Horizontal. It slopes up at the back to cover the lift handle on the rear rack, but may not extend to the rear of the lift handle. It may provide clearance for the MotolordD now apparently discontinued rear box, but it is hard to tell from the photos.
The only reason I took mine off Vaughn was because I kept creeping back on the seat when riding and found myself leaning forward on the handlebars. The stock seat doesn't allow you to slide backwards like the motolord seat did. Both the stock and Motolord seat are not real comfortable, but I'm leaving them alone for now. Have plans for the Motolord seat in the future though.....
@@TeamDNFracing I think one of the three new Motolord short seats might work for you, as they slope up in the back to keep you from sliding back. I don't know if you can see them at the Chaing Mai Cub House, but we see them here in the beezdeals catalog. The seats are inexpensive, but shipping to the US exceeds the cost of the seat. If you get a chance to look at them, we'd appreciate your thoughts on them.
Yes!
This is a really nice fitting seat option for those who need a little more space for their rear end like I do.... I really like this Motolord seat...... Check Beezdeals out to see if they can get them......
You literally have the ultimate Honda CT!
To be honest with you, I really think Honda could have built this bike for a few hundred dollars more than what they are asking for them now.... My guess, nobody would have sold it shortly after buying one......... Thanks for the compliment.....
@@TeamDNFracing
Still waiting on my 2022, have you heard anything about the new bikes on your side of the pond?
@@montgomery9140 Same old same old. Nothing new to report over here. There is no CT 150 coming out this year, that was just a photo shopped set up to cause some talk. We've thought about slapping a CT 150 sticker on the side of our bikes and start calling them the CT 150, but that wouldn't be very nice....So far, nothing new is coming out except they are still having the same problems getting them to the US. Big troubles in Australia though as they are now requiring for even the CT 125 to have ABS on both the front and rear wheels to be able to make them street legal.... That is bad, really bad, but may open up some shipments to the States instead..... Thanks for the comment, always welcome....
@@TeamDNFracing
Thank you for your information and time. Especially thank you for sharing all your information about your bike and your journey with upgrading it.
@@montgomery9140 I enjoy making the videos and I also get to ride my bikes for it. Double win. The reason I started doing the Honda CT videos was because when I started to buy one, there were no English speaking videos on RUclips for the Honda CT. I did as much as I could to learn about the bike before mine showed up and most of that was by watching videos from Japanese and Thai riders who posted there videos. I couldn't understand what they were saying, but just watching what they did was enough to let me know some of he accessories that I wanted to try and what might happen if the bike would be in a minor tip over. That is where the headlight crash bar came into play and that is also where I picked up the USB port wiring tip. There is a lot to learn from all the videos out there, so check out as many as you can...... Thanks for the comment....
I am so going to get this seat. A little taller would be fine. Thanks
This is the best and easiest to install long seat that I've seen for sale. I really like it for long rides.....
A "paul owe" bird. Miss those sounds
The birds here in Thailand seem to be singing 24 hours a day. Love it......
The name is Bond….Eddie Bond!….
Very cool looking seat. Now your wife can ride on back when you two go out for date night!!!!!!!!….
Yes, I could take her along with me, but she doesn't want to get on a motorcycle. She has her reasons and I will respect them so I don't see me having someone on the back, but it would be a great seat combination for anyone who wants to have that option....... I like the Bond idea, I may use it in another video.... Thanks.....
Hi nice video n i just order a honda ct 125 in Indonesia after watching your video. May i know where to buy this seat? As i am traveling to bkk next month. Do u mind share the address or the shop contact? Thank u and love your videos
hello sir many thank for this video ...... what you thingk can i use long seat with stock back rack ?
The seat was designed to fit the stock rack. The fit is probably the best on the market that I have seen. All the advertisements show the seat going on the stock rear rack, so go for it. The seat is made by motolord so check with Beezdeals to see if they carry it. The seat seems to me to be a little bit softer than the stock and is very comfortable when riding. Hope this helps......
I just got a 2022 model CT in the USA that says it was produced in Thailand. What year is your CT? To your knowledge, are there any accessory fitment problems between the 2021 and 2022 models?
Thanks for the comment Randy and the bike is unchanged from the 2020 model which is what they started selling here in Thailand before shipping them to the US, Australia and Japan. There is no changes except some color changes with the 2021 model. The bikes will probably stay that way until Honda decides if they are going to upgrade the engine. With most of the small bikes that Honda makes, there are only cosmetic changes from year to year here in Thailand. I bought a Honda Wave back in 2013 when I moved here and there is literally no changes to it from the 2013 model to now in 2022, except the graphics and colors. So far it looks like that on the CT 125 also as the only difference I've seen is graphics and one color change. My bike is the 2020 model and I've not seen anything change from it to the 2022 bikes.... Have fun with it, you'll love the bike and doing the modifying is what makes the bike special to you..... Thanks for the comment.....
Great looking seat!! Considering this seat option myself. If you still want milk crate storage with the larger seat in place would a rear luggage rack extension work for accomodating that? What are your thoughts?
This seat is designed to fit on the CT with the stock rear rack which is larger than the Diablo rack I have, so it should still allow the extended rack with this seat. I bought the seat from Murazaki shop here in Thailand, it is made by MotoLord and Murazaki shop has a Facebook page that show the seat installed on the CT bike from different angles. Take a look at their Facebook page and see if you think the extended rack will fit. I'm going to go look after I finish some RUclips stuff I need to do. I'm pretty sure it would fit, but look at the Facebook page and see what you think........I went to their Facebook page and found a picture with the new seat and the extended rack installed with the stock rack and they had a cargo box mounted on it. So, Yes, it will work...... I'll put the picture in a future video.....
@@TeamDNFracing Thank you. Do you have a link to the Facebook photo you referenced?
@@johnp1839 I put the photo on my computer. Go to my Facebook page: Eddie Bright and send me a message on messenger and I can send you the picture......
@@TeamDNFracing Sorry I am not able to locate your Facebook when I search that name. Maybe I'll catch the info in a future video. Best of luck and thanks for the content.
@@johnp1839 Give it one more try on Facebook. My site picture is a circle with me racing my quad going into a water hole. The back ground is an all silver Temple here in Thailand. If you can't find it, I'll pop it up on my next video.......
do you have a model number for seat? do you know if it fits over the stock rack?
Go to Murazaki Shop Facebook page and you'll see the seat on their site. You can contact them in messenger and they will answer back in English. I didn't see any model number on the package or the box and I ordered it on line from their advertisement through Shopee.co.th here in Thailand. You can't order it from Shopee as they will not ship overseas. The company that builds the seat is Motolord, look them up on the Internet and you should be able to order direct from them. Another source that I know ships to the states is Beezdeals. Yes, it will fit just fine over the stock rear rack. Thanks for the comment and get you one, they are really nice on your back side......
Would you recommend this seat, now that you have had it for over 1 year? Do you have a link to it? Thank you
If you really want a long seat, then yes, I'd recommend this one. I have removed mine and here is why. I kept moving farther back on the seat enough that I'd rest my tail bone on the rear rack horn and there is only about two inches of padding over that area. After a ride, I'd be extremely sore on my lower back because of that. Since going back to my stock seat, I don't have this issue with the pain in my back. Could just be an old man thing, but I'm staying with the stock seat. However, there are plenty of upholstery shops that can add more seat foam underneath the seat cover and that should make them a lot softer. I'm short and being able to put my feet flat on the ground is more important to me than a little padding on the seat. Hope this helps and you can get the seat from Motolord or on a home shopping network called shopee.co.th
The only thing I was worried about is 3/4 away back on the seat where they have to raise that plastic up so we can fit over the bit over the bar on the rack if you're butts there look like you would hurt if you hit some serious bumps have you had any problems with it since you've made the video thanks Frank
Yea Frank, it's not like the good cushy seats of the 70's, but it does give you the opportunity to set back instead of rolling onto the racks bar. What cushion is there, beats the heck out of the bare bar. I personally don't know why they put the bar on the rack in the first place. It's not needed for anything. But, it's there and this seat at least covers it up. You can feel the bar underneath the padding, but it's no worse than a modern day MX bikes seat. I do believe it is softer than an MX bike seat. I'm glad I've got it back there, but even with different suspension on the CT, it isn't a cushy ride in rough terrain so I really don't go that fast on the rough stuff. The thing is, it beats the stock seat all around..... It just cuts out room to carry "stuff" on the rear rack is all..... Hope this helps, I'm keeping the seat as I've gotten used to having the added room back there......
@@TeamDNFracing thank you frank I get my new ct125 tomorrow very excited
@@Frank-vo9xo You'll love it, has to be in the top three of the funnest bikes I've ever owned and I've owned a lot of them......
Where did you order the seat from? I checked Lazada and Shopee and didn't find it on either one.
I ordered it from Shopee.co.th on line and it is made by Motolord and Murazaki Shop handles them. You can look them up on Facebook as they show most every item they sell on their page. Also, if you contact them and tell them you want one, they may put it on Shopee for you to purchase through there. That is how I got mine was to contact Murazaki Shop through their Facebook page..... Hope this helps......
Thanks for the review. This seat is a great idea to be able to move around on those long rides. Do you think a passenger could share it with the driver?
No problem, it is plenty large enough for two. The back seats that attach to the rear rack are not very large, I think this will cover about the same area that the stock and spare seat will. Plus, this thing has more cushion in it...... Thanks for the comment.....
I just got mine .. what did the seat run u in cost ?
I got mine for 3,500 Thai baht which works out to about $110 US.....
Hi Eddie,
do you have a recommendation where to buy a CT125 in Thailand?
I want to send it to Indonesia, so the location doesn't really matter.
Thank you!
Consider that Bangkok is the capitol, and that is where the shipment
will leave the country and where the paperwork for it will be done.
Plus, you wouldn't have to pay for shipment to Bangkok, and there
would probably be more people there proficient in English.
@@daveinwla6360 This was pretty much going to be my response to your comment. The warehouse for the Honda factory is in Rayong and every bike goes through there for delivery to any dealership. My bike came direct from the Rayong warehouse and then to my house all through a broker. Don't know if you can do that, so I would look at a dealership in Bangkok or Rayong.......
@@daveinwla6360 Cheers, that is what I am trying to do now!
@@TeamDNFracing Alright, I will try to contact some. Thanks!
@@hugoegon1 Good luck and let us know what you come up with. Information is always something that we can pass on to others without costing anyone a dime..... Thanks.....
Would this full seat be suitable for two people?
Yes it would be. Much better than the stock seat with a buddy pad behind it. If you can get one, you won't be sorry..... I like mine especially for long road trips.....
@@TeamDNFracing thanks so much for the advice. If I can find a way to put a storage rack in the back too, I’m sold!!
@@JoraSly I have a Diablo rear rack on my bike with the longer seat. It covers it up quite a bit, but there still is a small portion that sticks out the back. However, the stock rack is a lot bigger than my Diablo rack so you may have enough room to do what you want with it. There is also an aftermarket company that sells and extension rack for the Honda CT and I'm not real sure of the name of the company, but I believe I saw it for sale on Shopee.co.th So google them up and type in CT125 in the search bar and you should get at least 10 pages of adds in there..... Good luck, let me know what you find....... This is the sellers name on Shopee: Boranclassicshops.brc
How much is that long seat ?
I paid 3,500 Thai Baht for the seat which is about $110 US.......
New mic 🎤
We will be getting an external mic in the future, I promise. The GoPro was mounted on the handlebars this time and I was talking as loud as I could without yelling to have it pick up my voice. I'm not ignoring your comments on this, but and external mic is not cheap and we are going to have the channel pay for improvements on our equipment... The mic will be coming....
ahahhahahahah
