Hi All! New member. Cool forum.

I'm a Honda Shadow guy, but my wife (only 5' tall) is thinking about learning to ride. She says that if she does learn, she wants something like a Rebel because it feels like a good size for her. She can flat foot it, and it's light enough that she feels like she could move it around easily.

But I know that if she ended up with a Rebel, that she'd want it eventually all decked out. From some quick checking, it looks like you can get just about anything you want for them, including floorboards, highway bars, forward controls, after market pipes, heel/toe shifters, cruiser-style windshields, nice saddle bags, etc.

She loves the classic cruiser style, and I'm sure if she ends up with a Rebel, she'll want to do what she can to get it the way she wants.

So, does anyone have pictures of their decked-out Rebel they want to share? Google images returns too many stock Rebels to be of any use.

Thanks!

Welcome, Croz. This isn't a Rebel, but one of its clones. Is this what you were thinking about? Here I go again...You may not be ready to see these pics!

That's a bit more than I was thinking, but it's pretty damn cool looking!

Not too interested in big fairings, or swapping out fenders, etc.

Something more like a Rebel version of this: FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic Motorcycles | Harley-Davidson USA

Here is a pic of it without bags



Here is how the bags can be mounted.

Sorry. I'll have to figure out the picture sizing on this forum. Reading up on it.



I've lurked here a long time. Just registered to post a picture of SW's (not registered here) Rebel. It's a good example of "stuff" on a Rebel.

Since the picture was taken - a clock was put in the right mirror and highway bars were removed. Not evident in the picture - updated Halogen lamp & add'l brake lights added to back of saddle bags. She really lights up in the dark when the brake is applied.

Imagine more "stuff" when she's riding. A tank bag & a small cooler on the rack.

Welcome. One nice thing about the Rebel is that you don't need a boatload of $ to own and mod one. IMHO its the best motorcycle to learn to ride on and enough motorcycle to not have to move up to a bigger bike in a year, or ever!

Welcome RebelWhipped/RW, can't help but love the look! And I like that color red better than the color mine is.
