With the onset of winter, the weather is colder in various parts of Taiwan, often accompanied by cold northerly winds and severe cold fronts. For commuters who ride motorcycles to and from work, driving in cold weather is a challenge. This is why more and more motorcycles have the option of heated grips. If you get cold easily and are a Honda CT125 owner, the "Ultimate Anti-Cold" upgrade kit designed by Koji Wakabayashi from Japan is perfect for you!
A Japanese Creator Builds a Honda CT125 Upgrade Kit for "Ultimate Anti-Cold" Protection
No need for a long explanation—the coldest part of the body when driving in cold weather is definitely your hands. To reduce exposure to cold air, the kit contains heated grips with four heat levels (USB-powered so it's easy to use) and windproof handle covers. Although it resembles the handle covers that are often used by the elderly in Taiwan, it has an integrated hand guard that provides protection in case the motorcycle falls.
- The kit includes heated grips and windproof handle covers that reduce hand exposure to cold air.
- The handle covers have a built-in hand guard for added protection.
- The heated grips have four heat levels; according to the official report, the first two levels are sufficient.
- The handle covers can be used on different motorcycle models, not just limited to the Honda CT125.
Cold Solution for Your Legs and Seats
The CT125 doesn't have the wind-deflecting panel found on the Honda Super Cub, so the creator added a customized windproof panel to protect your legs. In addition, the kit includes a heated seat that, like heated grips, can be charged using USB. If you don't want to wire the motor battery or want a temporary setup, it can be powered with a portable power bank. Its power button has an LED indicator that shows three different colors depending on the temperature.
- The windproof panel provides protection for your legs.
- It can be stickered for a customized design.
- Heated seat heats the seat for added comfort.
- The LED power indicator shows the temperature level using three colors.
Perfect for Adventure Riders
Apart from wearing thick clothes for the cold weather, putting on such accessories is also a big help. The best part of the kit is that you can buy each piece separately. If you just want a few items, you can shop at their official Amazon store. For CT125 commuters, or those who like to motor in cold weather for camping or adventure, these accessories are definitely worth it.
If you are a Honda CT125 owner, you get cold easily, or you love camping every winter, this kit is perfect for you!
