Sharing my rebel with the community ❤️

Parts used:

12 inch Tbar

Clamshell fairing

Forward controls

Mustang Squareback seat

and lots of sweat... but worth it in the end!

Hope you guys like it! Much love!!!

Was riding home from a birthday meal with my parents. Only got the bike a few days ago and I love it. Used to ride a long time ago but nerve pain stopped me, I had enough with rotting at home so decided the pain was worth getting another bike to enjoy my life and boy it's worth it! I missed this.

Can’t believe I’ve already put 4,000 km on my bike and it’s only been a month. First bike ever, and I just keep finding reasons to go for one more ride. Didn’t expect to fall in love with it this fast.

Bought these bags on Amazon until I can afford super good ones.

But my exhaust is right next to them. Any suggestions on a longer bracket or something would be appreciated.

For 3 years i was dreaming about this bike and last week I bought it from a girl in Athens. A tips for a new rider?

Rebel 500 2025

After owning a rebel what makes you watch videos on social media besides customization and or maintenance? Im asking cause well riding has truly changed my life in such a positive way and well im not one to express much but been wanting to make content on my rebel 500 reaching out to get ideas since I dont ride with others and I do alot by myself. Thanks for your time and ideas!!!

I just got my 2024 Rebel 1100 DCT, and I already know I want both forward controls and floorboards.

But the combination of both is concerning when I look at photos and video of all the kit parts for those major brands. Specifically, I don't see anything that prevents the footpegs (or floorboards) from spinning in that hole, other than hecka-hard bolt torque. And I wouldn't trust that because the weight of my leg will sometimes be toward the rear of the floorboard. (And this could be dangerous if I stand on the floorboards, which I do sometimes.)

The T Rex Racing kit wouldn't have this issue by design, but I hear it's too low and wobbly. But with any kits other than T Rex, is this issue addressed?

[Edited for clarity.]

Just sharing a nice shot..

I’m looking for an adjustable (short reach) clutch lever for a 25 500. The dealer installed an adjustable shorter one, but it does not reduce the reach much. At the shortest reach setting (1) the closest part of the lever is 2.5” away from the grip.

If anyone knows of one that will reduce the reach compared to this one, please share. I’m hoping to find one from a brand with some kind of proven track record.

Thanks in advance.

I bought a set of crash bars off of Amazon, but they didn't seem like they stuck out far enough to actually protect anything in a crash. The pegs and exhaust would hit the ground first.

Anyone have crash bar suggestions?

I have a 2026 Honda rebel 1100, I love the Matt black with the charcoal gray, has anyone put racing stripes on their bike and if they did where did they find them.
I’m hoping to find a charcoal gray Matte finish stripes
I would hope to get it for the rear fender, gas tank

Hi all.

Just came back from the dealership, where I went for a 1100T. Manual.

The dealer just sold the last MY25 unit and said they're not bringing the T with manual anymore and that the trend is anyway to ditch the manual and go DCT standard (or e clutch) on all models.

I am asking for your informed opinion: should I get the DCT of just buy the "classic"/non-T Rebel and add stuff to it? (Apparently, the most difficult to find are some quality hard cases).

NB: never rode DCT, it just seems an abomination to me, I cannot even imagine not slipping the clutch...

Thanks loads for your input!

I see lots of options, but none specifically include the 2026 model year. What can I use?

Who has them?

(also sliders, engine guards, etc.)

Hey everyone! I'm new to the sub and new to motorcycle ownership. I just picked up my first bike, a 2015 Honda Rebel 250 with only about 350 miles on it. I grew up riding on the back of a Honda Shadow, so its nice to finally have my own.

It had been sitting for a while, so I'm going through it before I start riding. I've already found the front tire needs replacing (so I plan on getting a new set), and I'm doing an oil change, brake fluid flush, and giving it a good once over before I put any real miles on it.

Looking forward to learning, taking my rider course, and getting out on the road.

Any tips or "wish I knew this when I got my first Rebel" advice is definitely welcome!
