BUYER BEWARE: Buying from this vendor means wiring money blindly with no protection. There is also a difference culturally in the way business is done at a small shop in Chang Mai, Thailand. Don’t expect immediate responses. Expect to be worried that you’ve been ripped off. If you don’t have the patience or the stomach for this kind of transactions, use WeBike or Beez. I took the risk because I am a cheap bastard who doesn’t mind a gamble and I was looking for the best bang for my buck and I thought that the sites like WeBike and Beez were a rip off. Working with this vendor worked out great for me. I take no responsibility for what your experience might be!
All of the racks are from “CT125 Accessories Parts”. I found them on Facebook. I was pretty surprised by the cost of CT125 accessories I was seeing on Ebay or WeBikes or the other usual places – (plus the crazy international shipping). This place is located in Chang Mai, Thailand and is legit (in my experience) despite the lack of a website. The racks are high quality and solid. Everything lined up and fit correctly. They don’t have a website and they only take wire transfer – so there is definitely a bit of a leap of faith involved. And communication is different from what you’d get from an established company with a fancy website. But their prices are very very good (and I’m cheap). They shipped via Thai Post – which I recommend… It was relatively cheap and came quickly. I’m pretty sure 2 week shipping was $200 or 2-3 months was $60. But it comes quicker than that. It was all very well packed. No instructions – but I emailed them a question and they got back to me with photos and an explanation right away.
I don’t get anything out of recommending this – I just had good luck with them. Here’s a link. Talk to Jednipit and tell him Angelo sent you.

Like anyone planning a trip like this, we figured, we’ll just rent a truck, throw the bikes in, and drive home. That was until we found out that a one way truck or cargo van or box truck rental was going to be about $2,000. We also found out that even if we were dumb enough to pay that – there were none to be found. Keep in mind- this was 2021 just after the first vaccines were going out and people were psyched because we all thought Covid was over. Which also meant that everyone and their mother was trying to get out and about, camping, traveling, whatever… Anyway – ship and fly made the most economic sense since slabbing those little bikes home was definitely off the table.
But shipping was expensive. We used Federal, and even though they screwed up and sent my bike to Louisiana – I guess I’d still recommend them. It was the biggest expense of the trip. It cost around $950 to ship from Medford to Asheville for me (although because of the screw ups I got refunds of $400). Basically they’re a broker for CRST. Maybe you can get a cheaper rate dealing direct with CRST. Our rep was very nice and made things easy. At the time, shippers were very busy – so definitely set this up well in advance. You don’t have to nail down a date, but get a reservation going. Something to keep in mind – the drop off isn’t open on weekends, so you have to plan to be there Mon-Fri which can be tricky.
Here’s the basic process. Call and give them info on your bike and where you want it shipped from and to and a vague date. A few days before (make sure to call them on a weekday) let them know the exact day you’ll be dropping it off. They’ll email you a way to pay and the drop off location address. You bring the bike in and let them catalogue how badly you fucked up your bike on the TAT, and then you sign some papers and wave goodbye. The location we dropped off was at a warehouse maybe 15 minutes from the airport. The process didn’t take long. Also just know – you don’t have to drain the bike or anything like that. They’ll also tell you not to leave luggage on it – don’t believe it. Ours were fully loaded and it was helpful to not have to fly with a bunch of that gear. Just make sure everything is secure and all good. (This was our experience – I can’t guarantee it will be the same for you…)
Here’s the information – tell Tessa Ang and Johnny Pow sent you. She won’t remember us, but tell her anyway.
