Speaking of "fork boots" you don't need to remove the forks to install, and you don't need custom fit. Just get cheap boots in the color you want and slit them lengthwise; wrap around the exposed part you want to protect with the slit in the back, and use black zip-ties to snug them up. It WORKS........................elsullo
I'm 63 and driving my rebel 500 since 2 years now. Fantastic bike, only the stock seat is total crab. I replaced it, there's nothing anymore to complain about.
@@CruisersCorner I went to a craftsman who made me a fully handmade leather seat. Just fantastic. I live in Europe (company : Weber Tapissier) but I think it's the best option .

Thank you for this video (info), picking up my 2021 Rebel 500 in two weeks, this info is great and I plan on getting a couple things in this vid, good job!
Great video! These bikes have so much potential for mods. I found a "used" 2021 Rebel 500 (184 miles!) that was already equipped with a couple of these plus engine guards. That would be my biggest suggestion, especially for a newer rider. They're not in the cheap category, but they are invaluable if/when you need them.
@@Imiss70sTV cool. Here in Japan lane filtering is legal, so all the 2 wheelers that are thin enough get to the front of the line at every red light. Cagers know better than to even try to get all the forward. It's great.
Heads up on the reflective tape. It's really not that bright. It is nice though. Also the valve stem light up caps are fun but they die way too quick. I got LEDs for my rebel 300. It's the end all be all for visibility for me. Also it shuts off with the bike. So no drain on the battery. All for 30$+
pretty neat. i have a 2019 Rebel 500. i have the grip puppies, the grips felt too small, the puppies fattened the grips, feels better. i installed bags on mine, floor boards, and just recently a puig wind screen. i have been thinking about that seat cushion, my seat is fine, but on longer rides i suffer from butt sweat, not numb butt, oh yeah i installed the orange wheel tape(orange tank)looks really good, verybright even after i year. my next item is an MP3 player and a set of speakers. i thought about the gear indicator, but i am used to the gears, i don't feel like i need it. well cool video for someone fixin to get a rebel, or just make it their own.
I really like the newer Rebels, they're such great bikes. Some of these mods look really good, thanks for this video. Were the fork boots hard to install?
@@CruisersCorner Yes I do. The 500 is a great size bike. I've been riding for decades. The 500 has plenty of power for me and not too much for her. The 500 is great for a beginner or an experienced rider. It's a bike a person could start out on and really never out grow. We really like them. Some people think they need more power but in reality it has all the power you need.
@@CruisersCorner We also have two Honda Monkeys, my wife stopped growing about 6 inches too soon, so the seat height of the 500 is better for her. She likes the 500 better than the Monkey.
It still Lever , Always will be . NOT LEEEEEEVER.. If you put the tank guards on to protect the tank from your magnet mount bag scratching the tank the magnets won't stick to tank through the tank guards .
I have my Rebel in Thailand. There are tons of accessories here for Rebels. Best bikes ever.

I know right the seat is crap. What seat did you replace it with?
@@CruisersCorner I went to a craftsman who made me a fully handmade leather seat. Just fantastic. I live in Europe (company : Weber Tapissier) but I think it's the best option .
My picks (if you have the money) - for comfort
Windscreen
Bar risers
Seni fwd controls
Mustang seat
Burleugh shocks
Wider foot pegs/floorboards
Just to name a few

SWEET...good for you
The glow tape you would have to put on both sides, so id so the valve LED that changes colors
Thank you for this video (info), picking up my 2021 Rebel 500 in two weeks, this info is great and I plan on getting a couple things in this vid, good job!
so ??? have you installed all those mod / accesories
👍🏼👍🏼 Awesome vid, I have about half of these cheapie but goodie items! You covered all the basics!
Should include a link to the product on the decription. Just for convenience and help others find the products faster

Do they widen the profile at all?
@@shellbackbeau7021 The engine guards? They are about as wide as the handlebars.

Cool video! What color is your fuel tank?! I’m in love😍
If screw flashing leds on the valve stem it sends your wheel out of balance , up to you
Just checked out your channel! Great content. Keep the great tips coming
Hi do you think that would be a good first motorcycle? I’ve never ridden before and want to get a motorcycle
Definintly might be the best starter you can get

Can you post a link for the LEDs for visibility?

I think the 300 has better color schemes than the 1100, but I'm getting an 1100 anyways. I'm ready to upgrade from my 390 Duke.
You could get the tank wrapped and it would not only protect it you could go any colour you want. 👍
Rebel 1100🔥😍
@@CruisersCorner let's not forget the fenders while we're at it!
Nice colour tank I don't think we have this colour in the UK. Buckhorn handle bar would look good!!!

Your the only accessorie I want for my cmx .
So uh women is an object?

Can I take you on a ride on my Caowasaki 1900 cc Harley swap ?
What year is your bike?
2019

foot step you didn't mentioned it helpful access. thanks
Those lighted valve stem caps are not rated for motorcycles, and putting any increased weight on valve stems is never recommend.
You sound very much like the female version of MCRider!!!!!!!
I love the LED lights. I made some mods to mine. Please check it out.
