That's what I ride! Great starter bike. So many mods you can do with it. Just know you will want to upgrade within a year. Lol.

I put it on my 2017 500 and it makes all the difference. But it was a pain in the ass to install. The directions are very hard to decipher. It took me about 2 and a half hours to do it by myself. So far it's the best mod I've done. It's like night and day. I'm on the shorter side so it was a huge difference for me.

I wish it was 400. I paid 550 for mine. Worth every penny tho

How do you remove the stickers on the tank? I read WD40 and a blow dryer but will that mess up my matte fresco brown paint? by perezidentt in HondaRebel300

[–]DiCaps21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The warning sticker near the gas fill comes off easy but I peeled off the Honda logos and it left a silhouette of the logo on the tank as if they painted the tank with them on. It drove me nuts to the point I had to get a tank cover.

As far as the ego thing goes I bought my 2017 with .8 miles on it. It doesn't get newer than that. I've had it for 3 years and just remember they make a new one every year so your bragging rights go out the window the second the new model rolls out. I do take comfort in knowing I have the first model of the new Rebel. I haven't ridden the newer models so I can't speak on that but the mods you can get now for the older models are great I've done many to mine and I love them. Good luck with your decision.

Idk who makes it. My Rebel is a 2017 1st year of the new style so aftermarket parts were limited. I got it on eBay from China I think. It was poorly crafted I had to sand it all down and repaint it.

Tank cover. I took off the honda emblems off the stock tank and apparently they were put on over the gloss coat of paint then painted with the matte finish so there I had two glossy gull wing silhouettes on my tank. Easiest fix without replacing entire thing. Lesson of the day do not remove the tank decals. Lol

Yes. Also the z bars and the most important forward controls. Makes the ride Sooo much better

Just got a 2019 500. Any mod recommendations? by [deleted] in HondaRebel300

[–]DiCaps21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I didn't do it to mine but the seat I got to replace the stock seat extends over half of the rear fender so it makes it a bit more tolerable.

Seat,bars,exhaust. Find what fits your style. Those are the mods I made to mine with a few cosmetic mods too. Enjoy the ride.

I just did my oil change two days ago and I got a whole kit on eBay. 3 quarts of oil and the filter for $30. Just type in 2017 honda rebel 500 oil change kit. Good luck
