r/HondaRebel1100

Hi all!

Newish to riding, have about 1500 miles on the road. Pulled the trigger on a 2026 honda rebel se dct. Im loving it. It's a bit torquey but I've read it takes time for the computer to learn. It works for me.

Now to my question. It looks like there aren't many options for a windscreen for the SE. I bought the gp cycleworks 14" one and I gotta say I'm not impressed. It's not bad but for the price I was expecting more protection. Can anyone provide real world experience of a rebel se 2025 or 2026 for highways?

For context I'm 6'2" about 230lbs

Not to be picky I'd like something that looks good don't have to remove the cowl permanently, but more importantly I want it to work.

Thanks in advance.

So I currently have a 2025 rebel 1100, but for some reason when I shift up from 1st gear to second gear it constantly goes back to neutral. Im confident it's not the bike because the same issue happened with the last two bikes I owned, I've tried really exaggerating the up shift motion, sometimes it seems like it helps but it still happens, it seems to happen marginally less if I'm at higher rpms. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if they have some pointers to help out. Honestly it's taken me almost six years of riding to finally be able to admit that I have no idea what is happening. Any help is appreciated

Any tips on good ones? Is Quadlock worth it? Please share set ups

So I'm gonna get the Rebel 1100T in a month or so (Found a T model for the price of the standard at a dealership) due to some safety concerns i found with my current bike (Details Here)

Theoretically by adding a supercharger, you'd be able to get an additional 30 to 50 HP, making the bike capable of a steady 150+ mph top end, and more importantly, a 0 to 60 in 2.5 to 3 seconds. Which would be even better for getting out of OH SH*T situation like I had before. And most importantly, sound good lmao.

Anyways, as a technical person I like to get into modding my stuff, and was wondering if adding a supercharger would be possible. Don't care if it's expensive or hard to do, just curious if it's at all a thing to do. And how much would doing that cost?

hi

i have a rebel touring 2025 and am curious what accessories to get to make sure my 2 week long trip is comfortable. I am thinking about getting a better seat. is there anything else

thanks

Hi all!

I bought my Rebel 1100 (manual) entirely new in september 2023. Absolutely love it.

Rode it, did the break-in service at about 900km (500-600miles).

Buttt I'm currently only at about 5000km in total. Due to needing back surgery and a long recovery not long after buying this dream bike.

I made sure it was ridden at least every few months at first when I was down or in the hospital, and this last year at least every 2-3 weeks by myself for about 1 hour.

My question is, now that I'm slowly building up how long and far I can ride again.. Do I need to do another oil change or other maintenance due to the age of the bike?

I was mainly looking at my mileage which is still very low right now at 5000km/3100 miles, but not sure if I also reached an age point where things are necessary to check. :)

Thanks!

I have purchased a 26 rebel 1100 and as a happy owner i want to keep it in good shape, does any one of you know where i can get a repair/service manual. can't seem to find one from haynes, but i'll gladly take another option

Hey everyone! I lost my last guardian bell and just got a new one and was wondering where you guys place yours? I’m just curious.

First of all, this bike is awesome. I am coming from a 800cc classic cruiser, a bigger one. So the differnence for me is: Seat height, Rebel sits highe, Rebel is more top heavy, but I think im just stiff at the moment. This new bike is an unknown beast and I'm not comfortable just yet as I just got it. I love everything...but what I don't love are;

the foot pegs, they vibrate like crazy. I also am not so crazy about how easy it is for my foot to rest on the rear brake. Any suggestions on new foot peg styles?

the grips and bars. They're so tiny to me! I think i might get some grip puppies, because they also carry some vibration. The bars are also quite small bars. I was putting my phone mount on and found myself not able to put on a cup holder. Really bummed about that. Not sure about a work around. When it comes to the seating position, I can see why some people use risers. I might add some down the road, but for now, its fine as is.

the seat. I've already got a new one on the way. My sciatica is throwing a fit right now, and so is my hip.

the shocks. I think if I make it so its a bit more "squishy" my problem would be solved. If not, burly stilettos.

no crash bar. This kills me, im so scared ill drop this bike and scrape up everything. Im especially nervous about screwing up the shifters. Done it on an old bike and its not fun. I tried to purchase a cheaper one, and it didnt even fit this model. its so new i guess the cheapo guards havent come out? If anyone knows any, let me know. I know I could go expensive, but its not a choice right now.

I want to talk about the touring part for a second. first of all. the wind screen is useless im tucking like im racing in the isle of man and even then, the wind just goes through my helmet...I feel a little bit scammed in this department as its the reason i got the touring version!....I am looking for replacements. But I liked the star fish look so much. Maybe I am just to tall? I'm only 5'3"! The saddle bags are okay. Could be better, but they do for now.

My plans are to improve or replace anything above and also add a sissy bar and cargo rack. I plan on traveling a bit!

It's just a lot to upgrade right out of the gate. I know honda cut corners but man...im dropping some serious cash. This might just be japan's 883 with all the custom work. Haha.

Ok, I was wondering if the shocks both tighten and loosen the same way. Or do they go in opposite ways because they are on opposite sides? Like, on the left, I turn my spanner right to loosen it. Do I turn it right on the right side as well, or is it flipped because the shock is?

This could be just a brain fart but I don’t want uneven shocks. I’ve never done this.
