  • There was just so much to do at the Barber Small Bore event I had an entire series worth of footage! In this video, I go over my highlights from the vendor area and look at the cool bikes and parts from the manufacturers who are producing some pretty cool parts for the Honda Monkey and Honda Grom

    My ‘21 Monkey is 100% stock and I love it! No need for mods but I agree it’s definitely a great platform for cool tinkering if the bug hits you

    I havent been on a bike in 40 years, and then I ran into a video of a Monkey a few days ago.
    Then I saw a price of $4200 and I about fell over. Now Im seeing all this aftermarket support, and its got me thinking...

    The Termignoni is 595$ for only the slip on, i don't think they make a header Termignoni is mostly known for aftermarket Ducati exhausts. The best looking Monkey exhaust in my opinion is the Akrapovic.

    • @John5XR
      @John5XR  5 років тому +1

      Pricey, but probably titanium also, which is where the costs come from. I personally wanted the cat gone, so a slip-on wasn’t on my radar

    • @ratscoot
      @ratscoot 5 років тому

      Indeed, getting rid of the cat greatly improves the ground clearance. I suspect this to be a quality item, Termignoni doesn't make crap. They also make beautiful carbon exhausts.

      Well, there was nothing to really change it with, or in my case, I love the OEM headlight and didn’t want to change it. I did figure out a fix however, it’s was back around early summer last year. If you search “monkey headlight fix” you should find it in my channel
