🏍️ GENUINE KYB BLACK REAR SHOCKS FOR HONDA CT125 (362MM) K-ELITE JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY
Hello there! Do you own the legendary outdoor trekking Honda CT125 and frequently carry large amounts of luggage over rough, rocky terrain, only to find the stock suspension too weak, constantly emitting annoying "clunks" and causing the rear end to wobble uncontrollably?
The lack of stability in the rear undercarriage when navigating treacherous landscapes not only diminishes the joy of exploration but also poses significant safety risks. To completely unleash your beloved ride's trekking power, Monkey89 introduces a premium upgrade solution: Genuine Japanese KYB K-Elite Black Rear Shocks (362mm) for Honda CT125. Belonging to the high-performance 2W Performance segment, this sporty matte black piggyback shock line will deliver absolute solidity and superior plushness on all your forest and stream-crossing journeys.

⚙️ DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
🚀 REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE OF THE K-ELITE BLACK
-
⚖️ Rebound Damping Control System (16 Clicks): This is a highly valuable feature that elevates the K-Elite series far above the standard K-Alpha line. When you are fully loaded with camping gear on the rear rack and riding over rocky sections, the Rebound dial controls the speed at which the shock extends, ensuring the rear wheel firmly grips the road, completely neutralizing bouncing or floating sensations, and effectively preventing rear-end wobbling.
-
🔧 Thread Spring Preload Customization: The mechanical threaded collar allows you to easily adjust the initial spring compression to suit the total weight of the luggage carried. KYB's heavy-duty premium steel spring will fully absorb strong impacts, thoroughly extinguishing harsh "clunks" when hitting potholes, delivering ideal plushness for the rider.
-
📐 Flexible Length Adjuster Ring: Allows you to increase the shock height from 362mm up to an additional +10mm to optimize ground clearance on bad terrain. To protect the piston stroke and the safe swingarm angle, Monkey89 recommends adjusting the increase between +5mm and +8mm as the most perfect setting.
-
💨 Mono Tube Structure with Free-Piston System: The free-piston system completely isolates the Japanese hydraulic oil and the compressed nitrogen gas in the piggyback reservoir. When the shocks must bounce continuously on prolonged off-road routes, the hydraulic oil does not aerate (emulsify/foam). Thanks to this, the suspension system responds incredibly fast, dissipates heat optimally, and maintains smooth, stable performance all day long under the hot sun.
🛠️ COMPATIBILITY & REAL-WORLD INSTALLATION
-
✅ 100% Plug and Play Design: The pair of shocks is precisely calculated and designed according to the exact standard 362mm height and the characteristic double round eyelet mounts of the Honda CT125 (all generations). You simply remove the old shocks and bolt the KYB shocks in using the original hardware, ensuring an absolute fit without needing modifications or custom CNC brackets.
-
✂️ Absolutely No Fairing Modifications Required: Because the Honda CT125 features an incredibly open rear undercarriage following the Scrambler/Trekking style, when installing the KYB K-Elite Black shocks, the rearward-facing piggyback reservoir will fit neatly into the existing space. There is absolutely NO need to cut or trim any plastic fairings or worry about interference with the rear luggage rack, preserving the complete premium rugged originality of the motorcycle.
-
📍 Installation Position: Installed symmetrically on both sides at the motorcycle's rear suspension system.
