Racefarm / Sushi Boyz GROM / MSX125 Build - "the Crab"
Ok well first off thanks for viewing, here we will post the latest news and information on our "Honda Grom / MSX125 Build" as well as information on some of the parts and manufacturers we encounter.
Well after 38 weeks our GROM finally arrived! We were #3 on the waiting list after putting our name down 2 days after it was announced. I guess like Honda we underestimated the US reaction.
Nothing special, here is our GROM with all the standard "poor mans" modifications aka "deletes". So we deleted the rear signal lights, as well as license plate holder. We also removed the front reflectors and any "junk" we could remove to get this to look semi-decent. Then with a few zip ties we made a ghetto license plate holder for the time being.

Next step was to start ordering some parts. Our primary focus at RaceFarm is dealing with JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) manufacturers and parts so that is what we will primarily focus our build on. So we contacted companies like G-Craft and Over Racing to name a few, both have solid names in the industry for decades and are the pinnacle for their related niches.
One of the first parts we received was the engine sliders made by OVER Racing. These are basically small rails that protect the engine and bike in case it is dropped etc. The are available in both machined aluminum finish or hard anodized (black).

A big part of why we love dealing with JDM products is just the insane attention to detail and precision that goes into the manufacturing. Below is a pic of the kit of bolts and spacers that come with something as simple as the engine sliders which are a beauty in themselves as well.

Next we ordered the GP TEN rims by OVER Racing. We were particularly impressed by this rim offering so we had to get them for our build. They are not just powder coated GOLD but actually have a metallic GOLD finish. These wheels are close to stock spec and are 12" in diameter and are 2.7" (F) and 3.5" (R) wide but are insanely light (2.75kg/3.3kg). OVER did a real good job with these wheels and they will add the sport bike look and feel we are after.

Again hats off to OVER Racing just look at how the wheels are packed, I haven't even seen this lip treatment done for car rims whether they be VOLK TE37V or Work Meisters SP1s! Kudos to OVER. They also come in a titanium and black finish as well.

Stay tuned, we have other parts like the OVER Racing 4 Step Assembly on our rack that we have to shoot and install as well as a G-Craft swing arm and adapters for Brembo brake conversion coming soon.

At this point in time, I have a little hard of a time spending that much on a tail piece, but it definitely looks awesome and it lowers the riding position like what I am looking for. I decided to just go ahead and build a removable seat that is designed after a sport bike instead of a dirt bike. But eventually, I would like to purchase your piece.
