@genechristmas755 Gene, thanks.. I think the viewers are getting tired of seeing Lake Beverly though.. LOL.. As an aside, I thought there would be some interest in the 2025 Monkey OEM USB-C Charger, but this video looks like it will set the record for the least watched videos of the 150 I have made so far, and that is surprising to me. It is getting just a bit less than 10 views an hours, so I think it will max out at about 200 views. I realize nobody has time to watch it, but a click is a view, so it isn't even getting any clicks.
Excellent installation video. Lake Beverly is one of my favorite places that you go to. No dinner from Thai restaurant in this video? Ride safe Vaughn.
@gustwowheeling7337 Gus, thanks as always for watching and your comment. After a couple of days of checking the views after I posted this video, it looked like it would set the record for the least number of views of any of my 150 or so videos, but I see that it has now hit 300 views thanks to your view. Not a big count, but not a low record. The low record is still held by the Super Cub "Hiking Churchhouse Hammock" video with 238, and the Trail 125 video called "Kites" with 285 views... LOL.. I have roughly 18 accessories on order for the 2025 Dax 125, and they should start arriving soon. I think it will be a month or more before the Dax 125 itself arrives, so I'll probably make a few Dax accessory unboxing videos while I am waiting. In every country in the world, the Dax 125 comes with a double pad shifter, instead of the rubber tube on the front and a pad on the back. My guess is that the USA model will come with a rubber tube on the front and a pad on the back, similar to the USA Super Cub and USA Trail 125, but I do not know that. I ordered a double pad shifter from Japan for the Dax, just in case.
How are you, my Friend? Stay healthy and keep up the spirit! I observe your activities from afar. Always interesting activities that you do and keep up the good work, my Friend.
@genechristmas755 Gene, I think it would work on a Trail 125, as it looks to me like the bolt spacing on the top bridge is the same as on a Monkey, and I think the headlight connector I used is actually sold as fitting the CT125/Trail 125. However, I don't think it is the solution I would use. I have MOLLE bags on all of my motorcycles and frankly, they foul in the USB-C Charger pretty badly when it is mounted on the top bridge. There have been several years of videos from me and others on how to add a USB charger plug to a Honda Trail 125 using the existing socket hole that is part of the meter stay. I don't think any of those solutions were very clean including my own. When the Trail 125 was introduced to the USA, the Honda Powersports web site listed a 12v accessory for an entire year, but that accessory never appeared, and they finally dropped mention of it on their web site quietly. The only Honda OEM 12v accessory I could find is the 12v Socket for the Rebel. It is the right diameter to fit the Trail 125/CT125 hole in the meter stay, is genuine OEM, and has the locating tab that fits the slot in the meter stay hole. The wires to it don't end with a blue connector however, but rather, they end with a pair of bullet connectors. While I haven't seen any videos except mine about using the OEM 12v Rebel socket an a Trail 125. In that video, I connected it straight to the battery, so I could also charge the battery through that socket. If all you want is a USB charger, then one could use the Rebel 12v socket and modify my Y connector idea to add the correct sex bullet connectors to it instead of the blue male connector. Then put the Rebel plug in the Trail 125 hole, and connect the bullet connectors inside the headlight. That way you could put any number of USB plugs, including a USB-C plug into the Rebel 12v socket. I need to search Webike to see if there are any Honda OEM sockets that end with the blue connector. If so, then using one of those might be an option.
Logan, thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. We are surprised that this video might set our record for the least watched of all of our almost 150 videos. We would have thought that more people would have been interested in the 2025 changes to the Honda Monkey, but we might be wrong about that. Your comment might help get the UA-cam algorithm to recommend the video to more watchers... so it is very much appreciated.
ロケーションも良いし道も広く、行き交う車の数も少ない場所がチョイスでき趣味を自分の時間で
満喫できてあなたは幸せ者です。
@jasmine7576, ご視聴とコメントありがとうございます。おっしゃる通り、私が住んでいるところは道路が広く、交通量も少なく、喧騒もありません。でも、日本の山々は懐かしいですね。
Need to add that you have some beautiful areas to ride!

@MancingTanago Thank you my friend. I am getting more feeble day by day, but am still keeping my spirits up with comments like yours.
@@Vintage_Garage Keep up the spirit, my friend, and keep working. Never get tired!
Nice install, would this work for any of the other Honda Mini Moto's, such as a 2022 Trail 125? Thank you for your informative video's!
