You might want to watch Rebel 11’s “Rebel 1100 batwing / screen cowl installation and ride” at • Rebel 1100 Batwing / s... . Rebel 11 was able to remove the wiring harness cover. Also, his Rebel 1100 video has special instructions for handlebar risers. Mine doesn’t.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It sure was nice to zero in on exactly what I need to remove and re install in the correct order. My biggest problem was the bottom fairing stay bolts. I was trying to pull the stay forward, then slide back over the top of the spacers and there wasn't enough clearance to get the bolt holes past the spacer. I found that pushing the bottom of the stay toward the bike, then pulling it out over the spacers it fit perfectly.
Thanks Steve, I appreciate your time spent making this video. I followed it along as I did the install. Slow and steady got it done. 👍🤙
Thanks for making this video Steve! Hands down one of the best videos for parts installation I’ve seen. It has removed a lot of my trepidation about the installation. I’m no slouch to working on vehicles and bikes, but this install seemed, on the face of it, rather convoluted. After watching your install video, should take me about an hour or so. Thanks again!
Thank you for detail instruction video, I was be able to complete the installation. I would say it was not easy installation since it took three hours to get it done. Thank you again Steve.
Phenomenal video. Should make installation much easier than with Honda's detailed instructions.
You, sir, have convinced me.. I’ll pay the price and have it installed professionally..!!
Thanks for this. Just finished the installation, and this guide really helped. Much appreciated.
I fitted this Batwing to my brand new 1100 Rebel having watched your video :) Took me 2 days of cursing and swearing trying to get all 6 mounting points lined up at the same time as there is NO give whatsoever in the metal frame. At one point I came very close to cutting off the middle 2 mounts as I thought that the 4 top and bottom bolts might be strong enough on their own but after having a rest overnight I came to it fresh the next day and for some unknown reason it all lined up and i got it on. After all the fuss and bother the wing itself and screen fit on the frame easily and I was hot on the road ! Erm well apart from th horrenous buffet I now had at 50pmh + . One of the main reasons that I bought the naked bike was the fact that there is no buffet at all at any speeds I rode the test one (+ 100mph). Now with the this screen fitted I cannot focus on the road at 70mph because of the buffet. I removed the screen, leaing the fairing on and everything was fine once more. I have now fabricated a tiny screen just to cover the two metal parts of the frame that look like they will dissembowel me if i came off over them and the buffet is nearly all gone now. Mk II of my own screen will sort things out totally hopefully. If not then in the autumn i will cut off the top two parts of the frame that stick out above the win and ride without a screen. Hehehe all good fun
Very cool video. I'm also thinking about getting this item for my Rebel 1100cc.
Brilliant video Steve, it will be so helpful when my batwing arrives.
Just installed the batwing onto my rebel thank you so much for this brilliant video it made the install a breeze Thanks again from Perth Australia 😃😃
Great instructions, thanks Steve!
Really Helpful.....thanks Steve.
Great video. I just bought a ‘21 that has this fairing and I’m trying to remove it to install 4” Rox risers. It’s very tight by the headlight, trying to remove it but I only have an inch or so to turn the hex wrench and can’t get it to seat.
I just finished the install on my bike - 2hrs all together, including cleanup.
Thanks for the helpful video. Am thinking of getting the batwing myself. Does it give decent weather protection? I’m in the uk where it rains a lot!!!
Do you happen to recall what size wellnuts you bought. I decided to ride my bike without the fairing ( out for paint) and I neglected to remove them before I left
Thanks for this video! This made it a relatively easy installation until now haha. I have everything installed but the windshield. The bolts don't quite seem long enough with the 2 washers to reach the well nut. I am sure I am just doing something wrong, but it doesn't seem like it should be that difficult. I have checked and the bolts that I am using are the 16mm but I can quite get them to grab. Any suggestions?
So I have one of these in the box. It came with the bike for free. I'm trying to decide if I want to put it on or not. Now I'm sort of leaning towards no..
Thank you! This is a very useful video! I will be attempting this in a day or two, and I hope it goes well but if not, I will drop a message with the hope that you can respond! Also, I have subscribed and liked the video :)
