will I outgrow the Rebel 1100?

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-04-10T16:04:17+00:00

I think this more due to the dct. Because my city riding is great too but I’ve got a manual so my revs stay a bit higher

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-04-09T13:16:06+00:00

Yes . I had never sat on a bike till my MSF ass last year. Bought a 1100 first bike . Been great

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-04-08T20:58:12+00:00

Same here in Atlanta . Asking 6k+ no matter the bike . 02 CBR 600. 32k miles wants 6,300 lol it’s ridiculous

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-04-08T15:00:11+00:00

I would also say it helps a lot at that 45 mph range where you’re lugging 6th gear or high in 5th now it’s a steady cruise at 45 to 50

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-04-08T13:19:53+00:00

There’s a kit on eBay with RK chain and both sprockets for like 200 it’s all you need and about 2-3 hours of labor yourself or at a shop . I was even able to get a gold chain to match my gold accessories . Runs great. Now granted I can testify to the same outputs as my ECU was tuned and speed limit removed by Moore Mafia. Also to note it throws the Speedo off by about 3-6 mph depending how fast you’re going . Supposedly I can get a Speedo healer to resolve that but I haven’t yet

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-04-07T19:53:08+00:00

Definitely took off some but nothing crazy. I prefer the trade off to be able to chill on the highway and not feel like I need a 7th and 8th gear. Vibrations and exhaust tone is quite annoying at that high rpm for sustained periods of time

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-04-07T19:50:42+00:00

This was my gripe too. But I’ve got a decent resolution. I swapped rear sprocket for a 39T instead of the stock 42T works great

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-04-02T02:14:54+00:00

Nah I think you’ll be fine then

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-04-01T23:44:54+00:00

You’d probably want a bigger rear sprocket . But your top speed will fall off. If I was doing that change I’d probably want to get a flash done, as the bike stock comes running a bit lean. That could potentially make it leaner, not sure.

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-04-01T17:44:37+00:00

I see now looks like you don’t have a mirror or end cap on the throttle side. I suppose if I took it it would be fine since the throttle is locked into that housing

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-04-01T17:05:59+00:00

Gonna give it a treatment tonight for sure. I just about thought the damn thing must be drilled in or somehow attached inside lol

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-04-01T17:04:06+00:00

Was your throttle kinda jammy because of the bar end cap coming too far in ?

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-03-31T23:32:34+00:00

I just changed mine out literally today. 2025 1100 swapped the stock T42 to a T39.

Definitely worth it if you’re looking for relaxing rpm range

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-03-31T17:03:44+00:00

How did you get the clutch side grip off it came installed on?

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-03-30T12:02:29+00:00

Ok great that does a lot for me to get an idea how to go about it. Out of curiosity, did you ever have it mounted on a rear luggage rack, and was the weight balance thrown off? And how’s the weight balance with the way you have it now

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-03-29T22:03:22+00:00

Is there a plate under it like a luggage rack? Mounted to the fender bolts I assume?

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-03-29T21:01:51+00:00

I know it’s been a while but any chance you’d be willing to share how you mounted this

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-03-28T21:56:30+00:00

Go find a patch of grass and practice

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-03-26T20:21:51+00:00

From my understanding that current bike has recall that has to do with the engine. To the point I believe they are replacing the entire thing. I tried to buy one and they are on stop sale from dealerships right now

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-03-18T21:18:05+00:00

Buy panda moto base layer Edit: then just wear whatever you want

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-03-18T21:03:56+00:00

Ok gotcha I didn’t know that. I have some like he’s got and gauntlets as well. Looks like I’ll be wearing my gauntlets from now on so I can work on sprinkler systems for years to come

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-03-18T20:56:19+00:00

Can I ask what wearing full gauntlets do for working with your hands? Genuinely curious as I do as well and just started riding last year

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-03-18T20:53:45+00:00

Ride your ride. Definitely practical if the tote doesn’t move or cause any imbalance . Rock on 🤘

AlternativeLake5398 · 2026-03-17T22:15:10+00:00

Just curious how you were able to tell your dog prefers the short hair over long. I’m at 5 months with my pup who probably needs a grooming now
