Honda Rebel 250 Bobber build

Fun build of a Honda Rebel 250 using parts from Blue Collar Bobbers.

Great work. I'm currently restoring my beloved Rebel. Your build is inspirational!

[@olafsandmark2629]

Lovely Rebel.

[@tyrssen1]

Okay, "different strokes" an' all that, but -- I hate fake relicing on anything, bikes or guitars or anything else. Apart from that: loved this bike! Workin' on getting a 250 Rebel up and functioning, m'self; second one I've owned. Great little bike, absolutely perfect for getting around town (or reasonably short distances) in style.

[@bramvermassen4271]

i'm wondering how much did the bobber parts cost in total? i'm thinking about building a similar design :)

[@nathanielbachelier3266]

Looks great man. What kind of paint did you use for the bronze color on the engine?

[@429racing9]

It is a bronze cerakote. It was done professionally. I had those parts coated.

[@Andrew-xe3gc]

You used the OEM 250 power plant? Do you think the frame could handle the Honda 500 engine?

[@kyledern8803]

What did you do for the exhaust, I’m currently doing a CMX250 bobber build and yours looks nice

[@429racing9]

Stock exhaust with the mufflers cut off and emgo slip on mufflers installed.

[@lauriviere8210]

Nice work, the engine is so beautiful! But why did you keep the rear shock absorbers while there is springs under the saddle? Or vice versa. It makes your bike too high for a bobber.

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

There is no way that seat springs will ever do the work of rear shocks! Have you ever ridden a hard tail? Many have that same stye seat and it's brutal on your back to ride. My only hard tailed bike last 1 year in my garage. It looked cool, but sucked to ride.

[@429racing9]

The bike is waaayyyy more comfortable to ride with shocks.

[@lauriviere8210]

@@GaragebandandBeyond haha I agree 😂 I did 550km on my hd hard tail, my ass hated me. I said that because I think we don't ride bobbers for confort. Only for lightness and style \,,/

How much

[@305pyroheads]

Hey man, what carburetor is on it?

[@429racing9]

Daniel Ramdial it is the stock carb. I polished the carb body.

[@305pyroheads]

@Brixton Brecken don’t u have to pay for it

[@reyallenbalatbat2196]

What is the size(in mm) of the stock carb?

[@TheDraindeimo]

Link to handlebars? Also, total cost of this build?

[@429racing9]

TheDraindeimo most of the parts to concert came from Blue Collar Bobbers including the handlebars. You can check their website for their prices. I don’t add it up when I am doing a project like this.

My dream bike but I Don't have money

[@flat6fever680]

These bikes are $1,500 all day long on FB. We just bought one identical to this one (before mods) for my nephew. We had a half dozen to chose from. All for the same price from a 1988 to a 2006? I don't know about the exact years but they made them for decades and oddly enough they are all worth the same. Seems like a modest goal.
