In this video, we install a Motion J Side Rack and a 3L Fuel Tank on our 2022 Honda Monkey 125 motorcycle.
We first saw the Motion J Side Rack on a video by KackDoy Camping at:

The Motion J Side rack comes with mounting hardware, but no instructions. We emailed Motion J at their shop in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to ask for instructions and received no reply. As far as we know, Motion J doesn't have a web site, but only maintains a social media site that we can't access without joining that social media site. For those reasons, we can't immediately recommend the Motion J Side Rack, although their product line seems to be of high quality. Included with the mounting hardware is a metal bracket, that we have concluded is to be used to replace the rear reflector bracket if you have removed the rear rubber fender extension on the Monkey. We wasted a lot of time and effort, including completely disassembling the rear fender of the Monkey trying to understand how to use the metal bracket.
KackDoy Camping replied to our request for information and confirmed that the metal bracket is not used for the installation.
After the installation is complete, we unbox a Gcraft Flag, and unpack a Kitaco Flag. We'll hang both of these on the shop wall. We bought the Motion J Side Rack, 3L Fuel Tank and both flags at Beezdeals.

After the installation, we make a test ride on the Honda Monkey 125. We stop at WaWa to buy gasoline, and then pick up lunch at the newly built Culver's Restaurant in town. We then ride to Lake Beverly to eat lunch and to see if any of the part fall off. No parts fell off.

ในวิดีโอนี้ เราติดตั้งแร็คข้าง Motion J และถังเชื้อเพลิง 3 ลิตรบนรถจักรยานยนต์ Honda Monkey 125 ปี 2022 ของเรา
เราเห็น Motion J Side Rack เป็นครั้งแรกในวิดีโอโดย KackDoy Camping ที่:
• honda monkey 125 แต่งท...
ชั้นวาง Motion J Side มาพร้อมกับฮาร์ดแวร์สำหรับติดตั้ง แต่ไม่มีคำแนะนำ เราส่งอีเมลไปที่ Motion J ที่ร้านของพวกเขาในเชียงใหม่ ประเทศไทย เพื่อขอคำแนะนำและไม่ได้รับการตอบกลับ เท่าที่เราทราบ Motion J ไม่มีเว็บไซต์ แต่ดูแลเฉพาะเว็บไซต์โซเชียลมีเดียที่เราไม่สามารถเข้าถึงได้หากไม่เข้าร่วมเว็บไซต์โซเชียลมีเดียนั้น ด้วยเหตุผลดังกล่าว เราไม่สามารถแนะนำ Motion J Side Rack ได้ในทันที แม้ว่าสายผลิตภัณฑ์ของพวกเขาจะดูมีคุณภาพสูงก็ตาม ที่มาพร้อมกับฮาร์ดแวร์สำหรับติดตั้งคือขายึดโลหะ ซึ่งเราได้ข้อสรุปว่าจะใช้เพื่อเปลี่ยนขายึดแผ่นสะท้อนแสงด้านหลัง หากคุณถอดส่วนต่อขยายบังโคลนยางด้านหลังของ Monkey เราเสียเวลาและความพยายามอย่างมาก รวมถึงการถอดประกอบบังโคลนหลังของ Monkey โดยพยายามทำความเข้าใจวิธีใช้ขายึดโลหะ
KackDoy Camping ตอบกลับคำขอของเราสำหรับข้อมูลและยืนยันว่าไม่ได้ใช้ขายึดโลหะสำหรับการติดตั้ง
หลังจากการติดตั้งเสร็จสิ้น เราจะแกะกล่องธง Gcraft และแกะธง Kitaco เราจะแขวนทั้งสองอย่างนี้ไว้บนผนังร้าน เราซื้อ Motion J Side Rack, 3L Fuel Tank และทั้งสองธงที่ Beezdeals
ดู: beezdeals.com/product-categor...
และ: beezdeals.com/product/motion-...
หลังการติดตั้ง เราทดลองขับ Honda Monkey 125 แวะที่ WaWa เพื่อซื้อน้ำมัน แล้วไปรับอาหารกลางวันที่ร้านอาหาร Culver's ที่เพิ่งสร้างใหม่ในเมือง จากนั้นเราก็นั่งรถไปที่ทะเลสาบเบเวอร์ลีเพื่อรับประทานอาหารกลางวันและดูว่าส่วนใดหลุดออกมาหรือไม่ ไม่มีชิ้นส่วนหลุดออกมา

Motion J Side ラックには取り付け用ハードウェアが付属していますが、説明書はありません。 タイのチェンマイにあるMotion Jのショップにメールで指示を求めましたが、返信がありませんでした。 私たちの知る限り、Motion J には Web サイトはありませんが、ソーシャル メディア サイトに参加しないとアクセスできないソーシャル メディア サイトしか維持していません。 これらの理由から、Motion J Side Rack をすぐにお勧めすることはできませんが、その製品ラインは高品質のようです。 モンキーのリアラバーフェンダーエクステンションを取り外した場合、リアリフレクターブラケットを交換するために使用されると結論付けた金属製ブラケットが取り付け用ハードウェアに含まれています。 モンキーのリアフェンダーを完全に分解し、金属ブラケットの使い方を理解しようとするなど、多くの時間と労力を無駄にしました。
KackDoy Camping は、私たちの情報提供依頼に回答し、取り付けに金属ブラケットが使用されていないことを確認しました。
インストールが完了したら、Gcraft フラグを箱から取り出し、Kitaco フラグを開梱します。 両方ともお店の壁に掛けます。 Motion J Side Rack、3L Fuel Tank、および両方のフラグを Beezdeals で購入しました。

取り付け後、ホンダモンキー125に試乗。WaWaでガソリンを購入し、街中にできたばかりのCulver's Restaurantでランチ。 次に、ビバリー湖に乗って昼食をとり、部品が脱落するかどうかを確認します. 部品の脱落はありませんでした。
That’s very cool!! Thanks for showing this rack, didn’t even know it existed. I’m getting one for sure.
Thanks for watching. much apprciated. Beezdeals still has a good supply of the Motion J racks, but the 3L red fuel cans are now on backorder, due in soon.
awesome video. thanks for showing the side rack, didn't know the monkey had one for fuel. you have been one of the most helpful channels on youtube with honda monkey installs. thank you!!
elizajaya Thanks for watching and your kind words. Normally, we just follow the catalogs for Gcraft, H2C, Kitaco, Revolution and Endurance, and so we wouldn't have discovered the Motion J side rack for the Monkey 125.. We spotted it in one of the videos by KackDoy Camping. See:
ua-cam.com/video/1ExNwAcwzJ4/v-deo.html
We asked him about it and he said it was Motion J. We then found that Motion J was located in Chiang Mai instead of Bangkok, so we asked our friend Daniel BP in Chiang Mai about it and he made a visit to their shop. His video is here:
ua-cam.com/video/5c58wsza-8w/v-deo.html. We then asked beezdeals to stock them, and we bought two.. one for the Monkey and one for the Navi.
Good to see you back.
WP 65th, Thanks for watching and your comments. I really haven't been anywhere; I just ran out of ideas for new videos. I have installed every accessory I am interested in on all of my motorcycles and ridden to every place I can think of near me. To make more riding videos, I will have to repeat rides. LOL To make more installation videos, I will have to buy a few more new motorcycles. Please let me know if you have any ideas for new videos that you would like to see.
Hi Vaughn,
Good to have you back. Always great watching you work on these bikes. These little monkeys move along quite briskly. I’m often riding along thinking I’m doing 40mph, glance down at the speedo and see I’m doing 50 plus, I like the fifth gear.
Thanks for the ride
Regards warren 🇬🇧

Another Masterful Job Well Done!!....always Enjoy your Vids. Thank you for taking the time to make them.👍
Mike, thanks for watching and the kind words. Much appreciated.
Very nice side rack with gas can. You are ready to ride cross country now. Great job sir.
Gust, thanks for watching. I actually removed the rack to mount it and the can on my Navi, so have another on order and arriving any day for the Monkey. The Navi had a range of only 80 miles, and so needed the spare tank more than the Monkey.
The first time I saw Monkey I immediately liked 😀.
Each of your videos, I try to fit into the story like I'm a good motorcycle mechanic🤭.
Shock! There's Together by Roa and I like it because it's also suitable for backsound while driving. You start daring from your comfort zone in choosing songs for your content. I think this is cool😎👍
Oh yeah... Your GoPro shoots great video and I barely heard any wind noise during the trip. Great👏👏👏
Success and health always for you, friend🙏😀
Mancing Tanago, I was hoping that you would see that I used "Together" by Roa. LOL I heard that song in one of your earlier videos and bookmarked it. I have been waiting to use it until I found a good place for it. I do think it is good background music while riding at my usual slow speed. You are the master of matching sound to video, and I am trying to learn from you... much appreciated.
Also, as you point out, using the GoPro Hero 10, with the media mod kit configured to record from the back microphone does a very good job at eliminating wind noise. It is easier to use as well as there is no need to use a remote microphone and finding a place to mount the microphone out of the wind on each of the different motorcycles.
Success and health always for you, friend🙏😀
@@Vintage_Garage
Your latest video is amazing and inspiring. Anyway it's cool😄👍
สุดยอดมากเลยคะ ดูแล้วมีความสุข
punpunmaew, ขอบคุณที่รับชมและแสดงความคิดเห็น ฉันมีแร็คด้านข้าง Motion J สี่ตัว สองตัวสำหรับ Honda Monkey 125 และอีกสองตัวสำหรับ Honda Super Cub 125 ฉันชอบพวกเขามาก
Great install and test ride !
I have been missing your videos . Memorial Day weekend, I got the Corona. Was about to get over it and 2 weeks later , 14 June , had a heart attack. Some think that the virus caused the heart artery to completely clogged up .
I am gradually back to riding my CT 125 .
Looks like you have been to your Park picnic table before!
Richard, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. Sorry to hear about your heart attack. I bet I am due for one any day now, as the doc has just started me on blood pressure medicine. Yes, I visit that picnic table every evening about dark to feed the White Ibis. When they hear me drive up on a motorcycle, they usually fly over, like I am ringing the dinner bell. This time I was there at lunch time on a hot day, and they would rather just hang out in the shade. LOL
Another great video. I enjoy watching you problem solve and always seem to have the exact tools necessary to complete your projects. Great looking little bike, stay safe and have fun. Did not see today's lunch menu, maybe I just missed it? Have a wonderful day.
Daniel, Thanks for watching and your comment. By doing a Google search, I think I discovered that Motion J is based in Chiang Mai, but their address is a bit vague. It looks like they make a lot of racks and accessories for various motorcycles. If they are close to you, a visit to their shop might make for an interesting video. If you do visit, you could ask them why they don't answer their emails and let them know I am really pissed off at them. Putting that metal bracket in the hardware pack with no instructions was a cruel joke. I wasted 5 hours, much of laying on my back taking apart the rear fender trying to figure out how to use that bracket. I did receive a reply from KackDoy Camping saying the bracket isn't used, so I re-filmed the video to what I posted. The bracket has one small hole and one large hole. The large hole is the right size to fit over the mounting boss on the underside of the chrome fender, and the small hole is right for the reflector. The problem is that the boss is used by the stock reflector bracket, so I concluded that the bracket was only used when the stock reflector bracket and rear rubber parts have been eliminated.
Today's lunch menu was in the middle of the long ride, so I think most people skipped over it. I made a drive through at the new Culver's restaurant at 21:19 in the video to pick up lunch. Culver's opened a week ago Monday, and I was the first customer there when they opened, so I received a pack of certificates for a free pint of frozen custard every month for the next year.. LOL. I went back there on my ride in this video.
The red CT125 graphics kit arrived from Cub House yesterday. I plan to film the unboxing today, and then decide if I will install it. I still don't know if it is just something a local Bangkok sign shop made, or if it is an official Honda part, or if it is Kitaco or Gcraft or what. One reason I bought it was to figure out who made it and if it is of good quality. After I unbox it, I'll decide if I want to install it. If it is just regular sign graphics, I probably won't install it. It arrived rolled up, and it's possible that Cub House took it out of the original package to roll it up, and I might not be able to figure out who made it. I will know the answer a couple of hours from now once I unroll it.
I unboxed the red camo kit this morning and ran the video camera while doing it. I was glad to see that was still in its original packaging, so it will make a very interesting unboxing video. It is made on high quality 3M vinyl. The brand name is simply "CT125 accessory parts". I wonder if the stickers are commissioned by Cub House or who was the actual designer?
I translated the instructions from Thai, and they say to use a solution of water and baby shampoo and to apply them wet. It will take me a full day to install the kit, and I am not sure which Trail 125 to put them on. I really don't think I should buy a third red Trail 125 to put them on. LOL I am leaning to do it on the one I call the Country Trekking, because it has all of the H2C accessories for the Country Trekking, except that it is red instead of brown. The one I call the "Farm Campster" or "Tank II" is still accurate, except that I removed the right sidestand.
We still haven't heard if the USA is getting the 2023 CT125 or the 2023 Dax. I am still hoping for a brown or green CT125 and any color of DAX 125.
@@Vintage_Garage … I too much preferred the Green ct125, or even the tan one second, I actually don’t do Red, but like everyone else in the USA 🇺🇸 had to settle for red and am getting used to it,
Even to the point of ordering the Longseat with red in the middle just to match Everything Else on the bike… Oh Well. Green would have been Great. ✅👍👌
@@Vintage_Garage Good Morning,
I just got back from a brief visit to Bangkok and read your massage. The Motion J is approximately 14 minutes from me via motorbike. I messaged Eddie and Robert suggesting we visit their shop on Wednesday instead of our normal mountain routes via pavement or off road. I have not heard back as of yet. It appears that they have some really unique accessories for the CT, Super Cub and also the Monkey. What caught my eye was the all black skid plate for the CT. I will video for you when we go and if we go this Wednesday. I will be more than happy to address the communication issues and installation challenges that you experienced BUT language my be a issue. We will play it by ear. Have a great day.
@@danielpredsox I think a trip to Motion J would make for an interesting video. If you and the guys do go there, it would be great if you could confirm the purpose of that heavy metal bracket that comes with the Monkey 125 side rack. Also, when you go to Bangkok and back for a brief visit, do you fly, ride the train, or drive? Lastly, I filmed the unboxing video for the red CT125 camo kit yesterday, but it will take me a couple of days to edit the video. I am still not sure I am going to install it though.. still thinking about it. Going back through the videos made in Japan by クレハの野望【CT125_owner】I found that she beat me to making an installation video about 8 months ago, roughly 2 months after you spotted the red kit at the Chiang Mai Cub House. See:
ua-cam.com/video/aS1veAnlSTA/v-deo.html
Oddly, she removed many of the camo decals a couple of weeks ago:
ua-cam.com/video/t2HxtgPDHNw/v-deo.html
Also oddly, she ended up using Trail 125 side decals instead of CT125 side decals. I need to message her and ask more questions about it. For one thing, she cuts off the red stripe around the edge of the Trail 125 decal, and it makes me wonder if the stock CT125 side decals on the green bikes have a green line on the edge, brown lines on the brown, and red lines on the red? Does the right-side decal of your CT125 have a red stripe around the edge? Eddie has already swapped his side decals out, but maybe you could check a brown or green CT125 next time you see one. If "Trail 125" side decals are only available with a red stripe, that might be a bad sign that all we are going to see in the USA market are red Trail 125s.
Awesome install and ride.
Ron, Thanks for watching the video and your comment, much appreciated.
Great video Vaughn, good to see you back 🏍💨🐒
Matt, Thanks for watching, and your comment, much appreciated. I haven't been anywhere; I just have run out of new ideas for videos. LOL When the Motion J rack arrived, it was the first idea for a video in a couple of weeks. A red camo CT125 red graphics kit arrived from Cub House yesterday. I haven't opened the envelope yet, so I don't know if I will install it or not, until I have a look at it. If it looks to be high quality, installing it might be my next video.
@@Vintage_Garage Vaughn, I’ll have to look at getting a Motion J Rack and Tank, looks good. I don’t think there’s a supplier in the UK, so I guess I’ll have to look overseas. Always a pleasure to see what you’ve getting up to. Looking forward to your next video.
@@matthubbard8541 Matt, I am a little concerned that Motion J doesn't answer their emails, and all they seem to have for support is their social media page, which I can't access as I don't' have an account on that social media site. The weld quality looks very good on the rack, but it will take a few rough trail rides to be sure. I am also concerned that the two mounting points for the rack are in a straight line, and there is no triangulation. I think if you yanked out and up on the bottom of the rack, it would bend at the mounting points. One gallon of fuel is pretty heavy and bouncing around on a rough ride might cause a problem. I need to make a few more test rides to see if the Motion J rack bends or not. I had to strengthen the Gcraft rear rack after a few hard rides, and Gcraft is very high-quality stuff. Like I say, I need a few more rides on the Motion J rack to see how it performs.
@@Vintage_Garage Vaughn, interesting observations, as say the 2 linear fixing points will not be as reliable as a triangular design? I’ve already started looking around for alternatives, I’ll let you know if I discover any other types of racks designed for carrying fuel cans.
THX great video :)

Lisa, thanks for watching the video and the kind words, much appreciated.
Mate good on you!
Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated
those manhole covers on that side of the road drive me crazy.
I hear you.. LOL
Very nice. Hoping they have one for a CT 125 trail.
Huxleyhorn M, Thanks for watching and your kind words. I highly recommend the Gcraft side rack for the CT125 Trail. It is very well designed with many different mounting holes, and coems with instructions. I have one on each of my Trail 125s. You can buy the 3L tank separately. Unlike the Motion J rack for Monkey which has a place specifically designed for the fuel tank, the Gcraft rack isn't designed to match exactly the bolt pattern on the fuel tank mount. Rather than drill out the holes in the Gcraft rack, I slightly enlarged the holes in the plastic fuel tank mount, and then used m5 button head screws, instead of the 5mm u-bolts that come with the fuel tank. Using m5 screws instead of m6 will allow the tank to mount securely without modifying the Gcraft side rack. If you haven't seen my Gcraft video, it is at:
ua-cam.com/video/YUEZFkETJIE/v-deo.html
Les gants !!!!!!!
Merci d'avoir regardé la vidéo et votre commentaire, très apprécié. Je t'entends. Je porte toujours des gants, du cuir intégral et des bottes d'équitation lorsque ma vitesse est inférieure à 50 km/h. Je ne sais pas comment j'ai oublié de les porter lors de cette balade par une chaude journée.
I can't believe how much the traffic has picked up in Citrus County.
I hear you, but I think that applies to all of Florida right now. I see many new housing starts every day, and there is starting to be a "Rush Hour" on Lecanto Highway every afternoon at quitting time. When the Lecanto Target opens and the rest of the business on the outparcels around it, I think that will bring in some more traffic from Marion and perhaps even Lee counties. When the next phase of the Suncoast Expressway is finished to Norvell Bryant, that will make it even easier to get to the Tampa Airport. I may not live long enough to see it reach Red Level though.. LOL
👍👏👏👏
Thanks for the install and journey !! Do they offer a right rack for dual Jerry cans???nice windscreen on the monkey 🐒
Thanks for watching and the kind words. I do not know if Motion J makes a side right rack for the Monkey and so far, they don't answer their emails, so it doesn't do any good to ask them. The Beezdeals add shows a second rack for Monkey that is of a different design.
See:
beezdeals.com/product/motion-j-side-rack-honda-monkey-125/
Motion J does have a page on a social media network, but I can't access it as I don't have an account on that social media network. If you do, you might try asking your question there. I am thinking that the Motion J shop in Chiang Mai may be close to Daniel or Eddie in Chaing Mai, and they can report back what they find there.
@@Vintage_Garage thank you for the insight .
nice! where can i find the manual for my dax125?
I just realized that when I replied to your question 6 months ago, the reply was added as a new comment. Sorry about that. Here is the reply, sorry for the long wait:
Massimo De Maestri Thanks for watching and your comment. You are lucky to be able to get the Dax 125. We heard that they are only available in Europe, UK, Thailand, and soon Japan. So far, they are not coming to the USA. I can't give you any help in finding the manual. In the USA, the Owner's manuals always come free with the motorcycle, and we pick up the Service Manual at the parts counter at our Honda dealer. There is no chance of getting either manual at a USA dealer.
Grazie per la visione e il tuo commento. Sei fortunato ad avere il Dax 125. Abbiamo sentito che sono disponibili solo in Europa, Regno Unito, Tailandia e presto in Giappone. Finora, non stanno arrivando negli Stati Uniti. Non posso darti alcun aiuto per trovare il manuale. Negli Stati Uniti, i manuali del proprietario sono sempre gratuiti con la motocicletta e noi ritiriamo il manuale di servizio al banco ricambi presso il nostro concessionario Honda. Non c'è possibilità di ottenere nessuno dei due manuali da un rivenditore USA.
Vintage garage , how did you survive the last storm in Fla
Terry, Thanks for watching and your interest, much appreciated. We are so far inland in Florida and on high ground so that storm surge and flooding is impossible here. Both of the two hurricanes this summer came within about 50 miles of Vintage Garage, and we had two days of steady rain and top speed winds of about 40 mph. No damage here. We had 25-degree temperatures here the last two nights, and that created more damage to the plants than the hurricanes.
what mount is used for top box?
Robert, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. The rack is a Gcraft rack for the Honda Monkey 125. However, if you plan to use the Gcraft rack, you should watch the two videos referenced at the end of this reply in order to see how I installed the rack and then strengthened it. I have a second Gcraft rack arriving this week for my new yellow 2023 Monkey, but also have a Kitaco rear rack arriving the same day. I plan to give the Kitaco rear rack a try, and if it doesn't do the job, then I will revert it back to a strengthened Gcraft. When all the accessories arrive for the new Monkey, I plan to virtually duplicate the accessories on the black Monkey, including mounting another Quro top case, a Motion J side rack, and a Derazer headlight cover, and the rest of the handlebar accessories. Here are the two videos, and there is no need to watch them in their entirety. Just skip to the gCraft rack install, and then watch the second one and skip ahead to the Gcraft section if you plan to use a gCraft rack with a heavy top case.

Hello good morning. Have a nice week 🍑💯💯💯
TẤN LỘC happy family, Cảm ơn đã xem video của tôi và bình luận của bạn, đánh giá cao.
So you’re liking that Monkey quite a bit, Eh..??
Do you think it’s because of the 5 speed transmission, clutch, and higher gearing? 🤷🏻♂️🤔
Anna, thanks for watching and your question. I hadn't really thought about it until now, but I like the Monkey about equally to the Super Cub 125s, the Trail 125s, and the Navi. It's not really about the transmission and the clutch, although the shift pattern on the Monkey is most similar to the MB5 and the NS50F. I rarely ride those two because they don't have any storage, so I can't run errands with them. Right now I am rotating equally between all six of the new bikes, riding two a day. While all can go a little above 50 mph, I rarely ride over 45 mph, as I am just riding around the neighborhood running errands and relaxing. The roads here are perfectly flat. Bottom line is that I like all of them equally, and don't even notice the clutch and transmission in the Monkey. Shifting is natural at my age, and I don't even think about it. I still tend to gravitate to the Navi, not so much because of the belt drive, but more because it seems to be more a part of me when i ride it. Hands off riding is easy, and it follows your lean the best in the turns. I am out of ideas for new videos, as I have installed every accessory that I found interesting. The reason for using the Monkey for this video was that the rack just arrived. LOL.. I also just received a red camo graphics kit from the Cub House for the Trail 125. I'll unbox it today and then decide if I want to install it. I don't know if it is something that a sign shop in Thailand made, or if it has a brand name. If it is something sold officially by Honda, I will probably install it. If it is just something a Bangkok sign shop made, I probably won't.
@@Vintage_Garage ... The graphics kit sounds pretty cool..!!✅
I find that my normal speed is usually 35 - 45 mph as well, we have lots of small hills and winding roads up here north of I-10 though .
@@annafraley5388 I unboxed the red CT125 graphics kit this morning with the video camera running. I will make an unboxing video about it over the next few days. I still am not sure if I will install it but I am leaning that way. The install will take me a full day if I do it.
