My 450 reb mods as of now.

Removed rear fender & replaced it with a bobbed fender.

Removed the big seat & p-pad & went with a metal flake springer seat.

Shock eliminators.

A plate cover with a spade design.

The brake pedal with a foot cut out of metal & welded on the pedal.

A drag bar but may switch to a Z-bar.

And other ideas that i'm tossing around in my head that i hope to eventually get to.

The wife's even has a little addition: chrome door trim looped around the edges of the tank, side covers, and fenders.

This thread needs brought back from the dead...:cool:


I'm hoping to have mine complete by spring, temps permitting...it's darn cold right now.

9" struts, eliminating shocks
1972 Triumph chrome front fender on rear
Sprung seat
Cocktail shakers
Larger fuel tank
Custom bars (see my pics), Brit bar end mirror
Savage bar clamps (no extra rise)
Whitewall...gangsta
Various engine & other chrome spikes
No...front fender, front brake, signals, passenger anything

The above is what I have so far, going to wait until I get the mufflers mounted to decide on a license plate mount/taillight...

[Excaliburs Missus]

Thats a really cool looking seat that you got there DaPeach. It is the same shape that I am wanting for mine.

[DaPeach]

Thanks! I mounted it a week or so ago, fits nice. It's a bit small w/ less padding, something that I will have to get used to...but it looks good. I'll have to get some pics.

I'm proud of riding "stock".

The fenders help keep the mud off of me. There may be a headlight mod in the near future, though.

[DaPeach]

mud??? you do realize the rebel is a street bike? heh...

[jsonder]

You have paved streets???

Where's the red clay?

Even when I was commuting into downtown Atlanta on my wife's 350 (early 1970s), the road back to the trailer was graveled. Puddles and mud, yes indeed.

[DaPeach]

I live on a private drive...this time of year it's a muddy cowpath. We do get fresh slag in the spring, luckily it's only about 1000 ft long
