8 Best Honda Rebel Modifications| Upgrades For Comfort, Style, & Performance

[@Redneckpretzel]

Yeah I wasn’t big into motorcycles I was more of a dirtbike kind of guy but when I payed my eyes on a 2023 Honda rebel I fell in love

[@1950harleycharley]

I’m 72. Bike #70. I need a light bike at my age. I put Viking medium bags on it. A luggage rack and a windshield. A seat will be next. Thx for this great video.

[@tracydonato9223]

Just added a two up Corbin seat. The ride great and so comfortable. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@adriannarobeson4758]

I love my Rebel 300cc being a brand new rider it has gave me so much confidence,, I ride side by side with my husband who has a Harley Sportster he has been riding since the 70s,, and he loves that I have my own bike now and don't half to ride with him,,

[@CruisersCorner]

Rebel is such a fun way to learn! Low centre of gravity and low seat height really helped to feel comfortable and confident! Happy riding!! 😁

[@triomom73]

I just brought home a new 23 Rebel SE ABS. Your mods were almost exactly what I had in mind to give my girl a facelift. Thank u. Links to the items were super helpful.

I've only rode motorized bikes twice before; I loved it even though I was 8 on one of them and whiskey throttled and "crashed" the bike was on top of my foot it wasn't heavy and I was fine, I hopped back on and kept riding in the parking lot it was so fun. The other time was a friend's dirt bike. I am looking at the 2022 Honda rebel as my first bike, but I'd like to have $8,000-$10,000 in my pocket before I do buy it, and I need to get my drivers license first, but other than that I'd absolutely love to buy this

[@CruisersCorner]

Definitely worth it! It’s a great bike!

[@andymoto]

Nice! I'm thinking I should look into a new seat for those long rides. Tbh, it's probably the only modification I think the bike needs.

[@sherryt4703]

Great video, lookin good guys 😁

[@CruisersCorner]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@travistoor6360]

Exhaust is my number one thing

[@themotorcyclemaiden9162]

I love all the upgrades and I’m hoping to buy the 500 SE of I can find one!

[@CruisersCorner]

Thanks for watching! I hope you find the exact bike you want! 👍

[@JorgeRodriguez-vv9mj]

I just bought an SE! Totally worth it 👌

[@charlesbolduc105]

The 250 I loved riding around the city

[@Kravenrogue]

I wish Honda Brought at least The Rebel 300 for my Country, this bike is só BEATIFUL...

[@MrSalcedoKinder]

Great video.

[@CruisersCorner]

🙏 glad you enjoyed it!

[@Lukyz69]

Nice video but I must say I love my classic bulp bigass headlight 💡

[@clue0001]

That seat looks comfy 😉. Definitely a good upgrade from stock.

[@shayloupstyling6330]

Great video, love that seat 🤩

[@vongle3574]

Nice video!

[@harleydougdeluxe2gma]

The Corbin seat is the best!

[@anthonyciantar6015]

Thanks to loud bikes, pretty sure in Europe we are heading to having laws that prevent mods, ie if it's euro 4 or 5 it must stay that way to pass the MOT.

[@JDuBz815]

Less about loud bikes, more about too much government regulation.

[@geraldscott4302]

The original Rebel 250 was one of the best looking bikes Honda ever made. I have owned four of them, starting with a brand new one in 1985. I was not a beginner, I started riding a dirt bike at age 8, and got my license at age 16 in 1975. In 1985 I was riding a 1980 Yamaha XS850 Special. But when I saw the little Rebel, I just had to have one. Small bikes can be fun to ride no matter how experienced you are. I eventually sold it. In 2001 I bought a 1996 model, kept it for a couple of years, rode the crap out of it, and sold it too. Then in 2008, during the great recession, I bought a 2004, and kept that for several years. Wound up giving that to my son in law. Then, in 2016, I saw videos of what Honda had done. I was absolutely disgusted that they had put the Rebel name on what has to be the most hideous motorcycle ever sold in the U.S. (with the Kawasaki Vulcan S coming in second) My local mom and pop Honda only dealer had a bunch of new 2015 and 2016 Rebel 250s, and they weren't selling. I immediately bought one, got it OTD for well under MSRP. I will keep this one. I am now 64, and have serious knee and hip joint problems. I had been riding a Yamaha XT225 dual sport bike around the AZ desert for many years. It got to the point where I could no longer get on or off of it without standing on something. Then I realized that I was no longer able to fix a flat tube type tire by myself out in the middle of nowhere. I parked the XT225, and eventually sold it. But I missed riding off road, something I had been doing since age 8. I started looking for a small street bike with a low seat and tubeless tires. The Rebel 300 was the ONLY one. So while I would never ride such a hideous monstrosity on the street, I decided it would be ok off road. I found a used 2019 non ABS model, put a heavy rubber flap on the rear of the front fender, a gravel guard on the radiator, an eBay rack on the rear fender, and perhaps my favorite accessory, an engine bash plate from T-Rex Racing www.t-rex-racing.com/2017-2020-Honda-Rebel-300-500-Skid-Plate-p/n27-20sp.htm to protect the engine cases from rocks. I'm planning to install side racks to attach saddlebags to. I need a way to carry more gas. That ugly tank doesn't hold enough gas for long trips out into the desert. I also plan to put MT60RS supermoto tires on it. I discovered that the Rebel 300 looks a lot better covered in dirt. It has sort of a Mad Max post apocalyptic wasteland look to it. It is basically a brand new factory made rat bike.

[@noidontthinksolol]

Yeah no

[@rechiecebreros2350]

Im so excited to have this. lol

[@news603redux]

That Corbin seat is way too big for that bike, grossly out of proportion. The Mustang Tripper is the way to go, though solo.

[@CruisersCorner]

We’ll have to look into that seat thanks :)

[@news603redux]

@@CruisersCorner Very welcome. Around $325 or so, but looks perfect on the bike and everyone says it's the cat's meow.

Hi nice video do you have anything for the 1100

[@Raez_XL]

Wish we had this in our country so i can get my gf interested in bikes.

[@CruisersCorner]

What country are you from?

[@Raez_XL]

@@CruisersCorner Northeast India. We look more SE asian than our mainland brothers.

[@stevevasquez1084]

What about risers for the handle bars?Short people need them.

[@Thefrostedslime]

So can the Rebel make for a good modern cafe racer? I feel like it has the look, especially after some mods to improve it

[@CruisersCorner]

Definitely would be the perfect bike for that!

[@JamieFalzon-j3u]

Agree with most of these but the upswept exhaust prevents you from getting the bags.

[@hondarebel2]

👍

[@akis4818]

Can i increase seat height? And if i can how mm?

[@akis4818]

Please answer

[@CruisersCorner]

Increase the seat height…🤔 you could get a custom seat that’s higher. That’s probably the most cost efficient option or get a different higher suspension. Ur just be ok with the current seat height. Sorry that’s there’s no easy option.

[@thomasschedlbauer1196]

Guys, I am thinking about buying a Honda CMX 500. But I am 1,92m tall. Is it possible to ride it for a longer time?

[@MaddawgLongboards5]

I'm 6'2" (1.88m?)and run a 500. Legs feels a little cramped after 20 minutes, so I find myself with my heels on the pegs instead of the balls of my feet, doesn't feel or look like a Grom when you're on it I promise

[@captango]

The yushima exhaust is VERY VERY loud, it's that loud I can hardly hear my partner over our intercoms when talk. Some might say that's a good thing though. But over long distances it make they journey unpleasant. So where looking to change it for another type.

[@saainoemer]

Thought you were going to say you can hear the exhaust through your partners intercom haha

[@tenza7545]

I don’t really like the look of that seat seeing one in person and the guy who owned the bike didn’t like it ether. He wanted one that looked a little more stock but better I looked around for him and found a mustang 84,000 that he really likes

[@sulblazer]

The intro is kinda annoying is just fluff. Obviously if we're watching a video titled 8 best Honda Rebel modifications, we already know what the bike is (or at least already have a good amount of familiarity with it) and just want to know the mods off the bat...I'm watching the video for the mods, not for a history lesson on the bike. More stuff, less fluff.

[@judesonignatious1399]

You can always skip forward 😅

[@jakemathews552]

Wahhhh wahhhh😢

[@monmaker]

Well I'm glad for the intro because I thought this was for the older 250s, saved myself some time

[@Vaeloron]

Viking bags are a shit show for the Rebel. Viking knows that they are shipping them with the wrong hardware and they refuse to fix the issue. I had to heavily modify the mounting hardware that came with mine and I had to buy new metric bolts since it only came with SAE. I will never buy from Viking again. The bags are fine once installed but their careless attitude regarding hardware and mounting instructions is a deal breaker.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

same mistakes on the rebel 1000; can't learn about pegs out front; seat; larger tank etc.

[@bvonm9557]

492 for a fucking seat ? ahhahahahhaha

[@laryangel4082]

[@KF1]

I'm curious why do people change the exhaust on their bikes? I used to live near a busy intersection and goddamn the bikes were annoying. No offense but goddamn annoying as shit, like a dog barking for no reason.
