Is There a Growing Demand for Large-displacement motorcycle?: HONDA REBEL 1100 Custom
Webike's Opinion
Here is a "HONDA Rebel 1100(CMX1100)" custom by Webike community user "KEN". The owner had originally desired to ride the Rebel 1100, but what kind of bike did it turn out to be for him? The first impression he had of the bike was that it was easy to ride. The owner describes it as a cruiser-like bike with a ride quality similar to that of a naked bike. He also appreciated the bike's stable footing and the ability to back up without getting off. Now, let's discuss the customizations. The Moriwaki CROSS TWIN BLACK full exhaust system was installed, resulting in an overall smoother ride quality, especially during acceleration from 3rd to 4th gear. This upgrade has elevated the already highly praised ease of riding the Rebel 1100 to an even higher level. Additionally, the owner purchased a semi-smoke type meter visor kit, which noticeably reduces wind impact compared to stock condition. The DAYTONA bar-end mirrors, chosen for their aesthetic appeal, received high praise from the owner for their quality and wide range of adjustability. The DAYTONA pipe engine guard was installed in a horizontal position, providing an impressive dress-up effect without compromising the original design. The horn guard was added for aesthetic purposes, and its high-quality construction brings a sense of satisfaction by simply being installed. However, it is important to note that when installing it on the Rebel 1100, the stock cover needs to be removed, and caution should be exercised to avoid any misalignment of connectors. The Moriwaki radiator core guard was chosen due to the owner's observation that the stock core guard often gets hit by small stones. This additional guard is considered an essential accessory, regardless of weather conditions. The installation of the Moriwaki Step Hold Plate ensures a clean and tidy foot area, enhancing the comfort of raising and lowering the feet while preventing accidental contact with the pegs or inadvertently placing the feet on the cover. To address a slight delay in acceleration experienced after replacing the stock exhaust system with the Moriwaki exhaust system, the owner opted for a DID drive chain, effectively resolving the issue. Through careful customizations and additions, the owner has tailored the bike to his preferences, enhancing the overall riding experience and taking the already highly praised qualities of the Rebel to new heights.
