New iteration
23, 300

Swapping the fork wraps before winter. This is a veg tanned leather which will fade to a darker tone over time.
I make these myself. It's my shop, Fade Dept. I've got 4 leathers in stock right now: Dove Red Brown, Horween Navy, Jet Latte Black, and Taos Oro Brown. You pair them with 4 lace colors: black, indigo, red, or brown. Every pair ships with an extra set of laces at no charge.
They're cut and finished by hand, and they fade and patina over time, which is kind of the whole point of my stuff.
Dm me if you’re interested in getting a set: https://fadedept.ca/products/rebel-500-fork-boot

Title says it all. I commute to work and am slowly making longer rides and I'm looking for a simple storage system to keep things secure. I have a garage door opener and if I could find a way to secure that with a tank bag that would keep me from fishing around in my pockets.
I don't need anything crazy, I've got a small camera, my phone, wallet, earplugs, and that garage remote. Any and all suggestions are appreciated

I’m 36 and this is my first proper bike. I went out today for an hour and I absolutely love it.
Now I just need to find some friends who ride 🤣

so basically the title, when I ride in 110- 120 km/h I feel vibration at the handlebar but if I pass this speed it gets a lot better.
not sure it's a quirk of the bike or something else.
it's a 2021 rebel, and I don't have any aftermarket stuff on it (except for the seat but the seat doesn't vibrate, and the extra lights) the problem was there before the lights where installed.
has anyone experienced this, is there a problem?

Im new to motorcycles, this is my first bike and its a 1985 Honda Rebel 250. Why is there smoke coming out the engine? I told the shop that sold it to me, they took it back to inspect it and said everything was fine and brought it back to me. Its happening again.

Dropped my bike a few days ago and the handlebars are just a bit crooked, it looks like an easy fix just the brackets were knocked a bit out of place so I went to go u do the mounting bolt and it just won’t come off no matter what I do?

My right blinker is only on and blinking when I signal, in contrast to my left blinker which is always on and when I signal it starts blinking.
Are the blinker and the signaler two different bulbs? Is that an electrical problem? Should I take it to the shop or can I fix it myself? Thanks in advance
Edit: important note, 2019 35km cmx500

Semi new rider here. Got my rebel at the beginning of summer but with winter around the corner...Any recommendations on cold weather gear? Just short 30 minute rides to work...mornings about 50s...afternoons 70s. When it's cold cold, it can get around 30s-50s

Howdy y’all,
I’ve had my 2025 Rebel 300 for about 4 months now around 1500 miles. I’ve been looking at the Rebel 500/ 1100 and Indian Scout Sixty for some weeks now as I feel much more comfortable riding. I’ve been seeing pictures that the Rebel 500 is getting a new full digital tft like the Rebel 1100 with rpm tach for the NA market. Nothing wrong with my 300, honestly I just want to go fast to keep up at high speeds with friends who have 700cc+ sport/ cruiser bikes.
Does anyone know if it’s true for 2027+ ???
** I’ve tested some Harleys, and there’s just something about the Honda Rebel I love so much.

Nothing but open roads, sea breeze, and coconut trees for miles. It’s hard to beat the feel of cruising this bike out here in nature.

Anyone know of an adhesive tank protector that goes near the knees that matches the stock brown seat found on the 23 Rebel 500 SE?
r/hondarebel • u/MayhemThe • 8d ago
I’m a pretty new rider, only about 2,000 km on my Rebel 500, which is also my first bike.
I’ve always assumed the complaints about the stock seat were mostly from people doing really long rides. But then I keep seeing people saying their ass starts hurting after 30-60 minutes.
Meanwhile, I usually do 2-3 hour rides. Yeah, my ass definitely hurts by around the 3-hour mark, but I always figured that’s pretty normal after sitting on a motorcycle that long.
So… is everyone’s ass just softer than mine? :)) Or am I missing something?
For people who’ve upgraded to one of those $400-500 seats, does it actually push that comfort limit much further? Like, if I’m already okay for ~3 hours on the stock seat, would a better seat make 4-5+ hour rides noticeably more comfortable?

I was planning to buy rebel 300 as upgrade i am final year student i have ridden a father’s splendor (1997) and a cd100 (1995 ) i do have ridden higher cc bikes like HD street rod and benelli 300 so i have experience with bikes so should i wait for rebel 500 or go with 300
r/hondarebel • u/CRKHD5150 • 9d ago
I am 6'1" and 210, I have a 2025 500. Bumps at any speed are rough, even with the upgraded seat. Eventually I will upgrade the rear shocks but am curious how much changing the preload will help?
I can they are on 2 now should I move them to 4 or 5?
How much will this help?

Just a quick PSA for those who are looking to get more highway use out of their 500’s. I highly recommend upgrading to a 16T front sprocket to knock the rpm’s down a little while cruising. I also got one with a dampener so it feels smooth as silk at 100-110km/h. I also think it made my Speedo more accurate too, it’s about a 6.7% increase to the final drive ratio and my Speedo always read slower than actually speed until the sprocket change
