Honda Monkey - Fixing rear suspension with bushings! 

Finally somebody with more brains than money ! Most youtubers are like "yeah, buy a 750$ Öhlins for a 4000$ bike" 🙄

I just followed your advice and did this. I weight 180lbs and went with the 20mm setup. I think the 15mm would be better for me (not tried). The 20mm has a great sporty feel, and corners better. Rides way better. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!!!

I Just took some aluminum Rod 12x6mm thick and bend that around the shock. Just bend it to circle with enough gap to Put it on, When on just tighten around the shock. Works great, leave the cut behind the shock and you wont notice that. Didn't even have to dismantle the shock. 12mm was enough, and I weigh 108kg (240lbs). Greetings from Finland.

Did you work on the forks at all? The front is soooo soft, am wondering if adding preload bushings would work rather than installing stiffer springs?!

Ingenious my friend. A simple and inexpensive solution to the Monkey’s weakest link. Please could you tell me who supplied your tail tidy (fender eliminator) - it looks extremely neat.

Hi, with the 20mil bushings on, have you tried the monkey off road a little, to see how the shocks feel?

looks like a lot of work. I found some used shocks and changed them. but would like to have red springs. but the chrome looks good also. thanks for the video.

how many 20mm bushings did you end up installing on each side? What material are they from?

Har du nån film om hur du gjorde om bakskärmen? Som du har nu är supersnyggt!

Where you live is the perfect environment for the Monkey. You couldn't have gotten a better bike.

I think you should do an offroad video with the Monkey 125. Like how hard can you push it? What kind of terrain does work well? Etc.

A set of adjustable Kitaco shocks for the monkey is only 149€ but this works and looks great too.

is it safe to leave out the top chrome bell?not to use anymore?

Hi. How tall are you?

Increase stiffness, but reduce rear suspension travel by 20mm. It's a heavy compromise but it's one solution.

I would be interested by the 3D printer files, if any. I am having the same problem, to tall, thus to heavy.

Put your spares on Ebay and I will bid on them!

will they prematurely wear out the OEM springs?
