If you think you look big on your rebel
Look at me on my CM250C 1983
I'm 5'11" 200lbs
I think the fact that I replaced the standard handlebars with drag bars, changed the seat and trimmed the rear fender doesn't really help

You really don't look any different than anyone else that rides an older standard. Seen quite a few around here lately. Quess folks are finally coming to the realization that riding is riding. Who cares what you look like as long as you're having fun!

I also just like having a smaller bike. I can push it. haha
I rode my brother's Susuki 500 and even that could be difficult to push or hold up if it leans.
If a bike was huge, it'd just be like a cage on two wheels. haha

Highway pegs, right?
How did you do those? I have been wanting to add some to mine.
Any suggestions?

No, most of the bolt on pegs have clamps.
That pic was an old setup I was using. I now have 6" forward controls with no hwy pegs.
