Hey everyone,
I am new to this board but not to the rebel. I have a 1986 Monte Rosa Silver Rebel 450 that I bought new in March of 1987. It is my first bike that I bought. It holds a special place with me. I have been keeping it in storage since 1992 and have decided to pull it out and get it running again. I am going to do some mods to it. Nothing radical. I have already added forward controls (I fabbed them myself out of stainless and using the original pegs). Fabbed a light bar also out of stainless that will move my T/S off the handle bar and onto the forks. I am looking for a sissybar. I have about 1/2 of the bike apart for cleaning. Guess I need to take pics :D

It is great to see other Rebel Lovers out there. It is so hard to find parts, accessories, upgrades, etc. Will post pics when I finally take some.

See ya,

Doug

Welcome, Snorey! Great to see yet another 450 Rebel owner joining the crew. With roughly 5-6 years before putting her in storage, she's probably looking pretty clean.

Totally agree...the aftermarket just ain't what it used to be. See more items being offerred for the 250, which makes sense of course, but the 450 simply won't motivate the "aftermarketeers" (LOL!) with it's 2 yr. run.
