The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Just trying to see if anyone would be interested in stretch mounts for the PCX 150? I'm going to start testing a prototype within the next few months.

Fill us in. Webike has one that's just the mount, doesn't include extended shock mounts, and it runs $80 for a 3" extension.

It is listed as for the 125.

yeah i was checking that out on webike, the madmax mount. 3" is nothing. you could do that with the stock mount pretty easy.

Just out of curiosity, what is gained by stretching the engine mount out? Is it fully cosmetic?

Maddiedog,

It's to keep the frontend down when doing wheelies.

Just strictly cosmetic. Here are some stretched PCX's

Gotcha.

Hey, I've seen a PCX do a wheelie before, and even accidentally done one myself when messing around!

That PCX looks cool! Weird suspension setup. Looks like it has 15" or 16" wheels.

interesting concept are you coming from the ruck or crotch rocket scene. the only problem i have with it is not sure how it will look without side bags. and it also adds some stability for highway speeds

I'm too classy for the ruckus. I come from this scene, but i rode a Zuma 125. But yes i'm all into custom fab scooter stuff. Here is my last project i finished for the wife.

1982 Honda Passport

Day 1 when i got it


As it sits today.

how much stretch are you/want to put on the pcx?

sweet passport

I think we can do 6 inches, but then i have to figure out some kind of shock blocks so the angle isn't so sharp.

Could you just make extensions? Also doesn't stretching smooth out the ride?

For 3 inch extension no further mods are required to the bike,however i might be wrong but i'm quite certain that for 6 inch extension one needs to modify brake and throttle cable and also top mounts for the rear shocks..

It looks good on the modified white and red bike but wouldn't it look slightly naff on a standard one.


Why not photoshop it first?

Yes and yes, but cornering/performance/ground clearance would change, not something i want to do, but i welcome change

^Agreed^ yeah brake cable won't work(but a gy6 cable will ) throttle/ fuel line/ electrical might make it, if rerouted differently new top mounts would be easy to do on my bike, but not sure about with stock bodywork.

If the mount was stretched 3 inches would it lower the seat any?

That's a good question.

4 1/3" and 6 1/3" stretch.
Webike also sells both of those kits.

If you guys look at the price points it's pretty insane. Plus these will be made in Merica F*** yeah!
=P

That is very cool. I generally don't like the blacked-out cafe-racer look, but you did a very nice job on that.

I have a Honda Spree sitting around, if you were on the East Coast, I'd give it to you just to see what you could do with it.
