- Hey guys, in this video I install a genuine Diablo fender purchased from K-Speed!
I show you the complete wiring install, along with some additional aftermarket indicators and a side mount license plate mount and a plate light.
I also show you where the indicator relay is and how to replace it so that you can slow down the flashing speed of your indicators.

Thank you so much for this excellent video. No annoying BS from some idiot trying to sound cool and no irritating and distracting loud music - just straightforward, step by step explanation which is really useful.
I really appreciated the thorough explanation of the under seat wiring harness feeding the rear lights. I've been chasing that for a while as I want to put in a buzzer to sound in synch with my indicators when they are switched on. So dangerous when they are inadvertently left on.
By the way the spare space for a relay under the tank is for the accessories circuit. This relay is a feature of later models. It is a 7.5 amp circuit so can take a lot of load. There are male and female bullet connectors buries in the wiring loom under the speedo/instrument console. The bullet connectors are generally used to mount a USB port. In these later models the USB port won't work unless the appropriate relay is placed in that spare slot. The Honda USB port for the later models comes with the relay and there are many sellers online selling USB ports for the Rebel that come with that relay.
Once again thanks so much for taking the time to make this very informative video.
@@kenhogan1433 You're welcome. Somewhere in one of my relay videos I made a note in the description box as it changed after my year model. I have sold this bike now but there's plenty of content for other mods you might consider. Thanks for watching 👍
The explanation for the wiring connection, which is which and which goes where, cant be better than this! Well done! Though I personally not a fan of Diablo fender kit. But everyone to their own.
Thanks. The good news is that even for people wanting to change brakes and indicators can follow this guide. I'll be doing that for my friends bike this weekend and will make a video 👍
Can you add a wiring diagram? Did the Diablo come with a wiring diagram?
The 2023 model comes with LED flashers as standard so thankfully there's no need to change the relay if changing to aftermarket flashers. Great video!
That's unfortunately not true. I have a 2022 which is led and it needed them as well. Different led lights draw different amounts of power so you will still need the relay.
@@TweakedGSX ah shit! I thought I was going to be lucky. At least now I know where the relay is. Cheers.
One of the cleanest rebels out there thank you for showing your process
Thank you I appreciate that 🤜🤛
Been a great help tonight man 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Another fantastic brakedown of installation thank you 👌
Bought an 18 rebel 500, already had the diablo fender installed but it sounds like it's grinding on something whenever I ride, so I'm here to reverse install it and get the stock rear attached again
Really like the shape of the new rear fender just such a shame in my opinion that it looks like it's made from old recycled wheelie bins
LOL Yes it does look like that colour 🤣
You have awesome videos! I’ve watched several of them while customizing my 2023 Rebel 500. I’m running into a problem with the blinker relay though. Mine looks nothing like the ones in your videos. Have you happened to hear about a different relay for 2023? Thanks
Thank you. Yes there are two types of relay connections. In my history I have 2 relay videos. Somewhere around 22 or 23 they changed the shape. In the correct video that corresponds to your bike, I will have the link in the description for where you can buy it from webike Japan. 👍
Awesome vids mate. Have you had any issues with QLD Police and the side Number Plate??
Thanks mate. No issues yet, but if I get pulled over I am willing to talk through the rulebook. I am fairly confident on everything except that my rear indicators are not E marked 👍 Are you considering to install one?
I haven't considered doing it but like the look. I just installed the combustion industries tail light and its awesome.
@@brendandowling6526 I just saw it, it looks rad😎
How have you gone with the number plate bracket? (Just saw your reply on my other comment) Have you had any issues with the wobbling or gotten around to putting another bracket in?
I changed to another bracket but then came back to this one but used two of them and it's solid now👍
Juzzie....do you know if i can get these mods for a honda rebel 1100? I LOVE everything you did with your bike.
They may have one for the 1100 on the kspeed site. Otherwise you would have to try Ali express or eBay/Amazon but you would need all the reflective heating
Hey, I know at the time of me commenting this you no longer own the Rebel anymore, but any chance you’d know where I can find that trendy folding passenger seat. I have the Diablo fender on mine but don’t want to sacrifice not having a passenger.
Ct_motorshop on IG go through to their web store it's a few scroll downs on the right side👍
Hey mate,
Your video is amazing and very helpful.
I have a question. I buy from k-speed rear indicators but i dont know if a led. So if dont change relay is problem? Thank you
Thanks. You will need a relay to slow down blinking as even a kspeed led draws different current to the stock indicator.
@@TweakedGSX last question can i lift up from oil pan because i want to put fork boot. Thank you
@@antreaspetrides2606 you have to be careful for 2022 model as abs module is under the sump
when you added the rear blinkers and license plate brackets to the shock bolt did the shock dis engage or was it a simple slip on. Also, did you have to torque the shock bolt at all ?
It maybe had a half a cm of decompression which you will be able to manage by gently sitting on the seat whilst you put the indicator bracket on then putting the shock back on. I did the bolt up at 100nm max it doesn't need much. Just remember that you should re-check then after your first ride. I check everything on my bike once a month as I've undone many nuts and bolts. If you get paranoid about it you can put a very small drop of non permanent Loctite on the thread.
I'm confused as to why the flashing is off pace.. the OEM lights are LED so shouldn't the new LED's be similar speed? I thought problems only occurred when switching from standard light bulbs to LED..
It seems the relay is overly pedantic, even in this led to led swap situation, the current draw from the new led is more than factory and so it flashes fast. I've had this on about 5 different LEDs on the Rebel.
Hey Mate, Love the bike!
Where can I find the plastic cover you used over your license plate?
Thanks it's from eBay but meant for Qld plates
Ahh, I see. Are they a different size to NSW plates? Does that mean the licence plate mount wont work for NSW plates as well?
@@TweakedGSX
Hello where did you get the license plate cover
In Australia they are at Supercheap auto stores
Is this seat much more comfortable than the stock seat? 🙂
It is the factory special edition seat which is very similar to the non special edition seat. Only the design looks different
@@TweakedGSX oh i see. Thanks!
Riding the stock seat for over an hour isnt really comfortable *as some would say
@@tonyjuguan4292 yes, I am 75kg riding weight. I think that if you upgrade the rear shocks like I have, you would like the bike a lot more and not have to modify the seat.
@@TweakedGSX alrightie. I'll keep this in mind.
Hey mate,
With the indicators, if you’re on a stop and indicating left and have the brakes on, would the right indicator light up red and vice versa with the right indicator?
Yes, it alternates between red and yellow as it flashes
In your description, the left indicator would alternate red and yellow and the right indicator would remain red if your brake was on.
Thanks Juzzie!!!
Another question,
Do you know the measurement of space from the tip of the rear fender to the tyre?
@@anepns2085 not verbatim, but check my rear shocks Install videos. My current shocks are height adjustable. Regardless though neither OEM or aftermarket can safely allow the plate to be mounted off the fender. There is one manufacturer making one for a fenderless 500, somewhere on webike though
Do you need to remove the bolts from the passenger pegs and muffler to look at the wiring for the turn signals in the back and front. And does the license plate have to in that position can it be up and down.
You remove the bolts for the pegs because you don't have a need for them as there is no passenger once you install the shorty fender. The license plate can be mounted portrait style yes.
@@TweakedGSX I also see that your license plate holder is connected to the suspension. Is it just unscrew it and put it in. That simple?
@@thespeeddemon5685 yes unbolt lower shock bolt and slide on the extension arm for the plate holder
@@TweakedGSX will the suspension go flying or is it still as if there was no tension
@@thespeeddemon5685 you buy a longer bolt which is the thickness of the extension arm. This way you have the same amount of thread tightened to hold it all together.
Taking the license plate and mounting it on the side just makes the bike less aerodynamic. If it's on the fender it doesn't catch much air. Sticking out on the side just catches a lot of air negatively affecting both handling at high speed and gas mileage. Also it is asymmetric. It looks like a man with one ear. It's funny how when a fad starts, everyone has to jump on board whether it makes sense or not. It's just like fashion. Is it a good idea to rip holes in your jeans? Not really. But once it becomes a fad, everyone does it no matter how silly it is. Just like when it became a gangster fashion to wear one's pants down below their butt.
That's a whole lot of dribble.
@@TweakedGSX Yeah, I was afraid you wouldn't like it. Of course, it's all true. Just saying it's dribble isn't a really very clever response. Nevertheless, who am I to keep you from enjoying the latest fad? You did a good job on the modification. Have a good day.
@@jlrutube1312 no idea what you are talking about but it is obviously not based on riding my bike which has no problems whatsoever with stability. This is mentioned numerous times on my videos and is physically demonstrated in my latest ride video.... But do tell me all about my bike without even having ridden it, or tested it on your own bike 🤣
@@TweakedGSX "But do tell me about my bike"... Okay since you have asked me to. Your bike is pretty cool and you have done a good job with it. I just think that the fad regarding the tag relocation is sorta silly since it is asymmetric and it certainly doesn't help the aerodynamics. I don't have to ride your bike to know that it is asymmetric, I just have to have eyes. And I don't have to ride it to know that something sticking out like that will catch air, I just have to have common sense. I realize that neither one of those things are a really big deal but I was just saying how I felt since that is what comments are for. Have a nice day.
I don't think such a small square will affect handling or gas mileage to the point it's noticeable. The air going past you isn't perfectly flowing straight, it would've already been disrupted by your legs, handlebars etc it won't really make a difference of 5mpg and steering left by itself lol.
