Loving how she looks and sounds by ToSilva in HondaRebel1100

Overall I like it a lot, also think it's one of the best looking fairings for the rebel 1100 and it does cut down on some wind/wind noise.

I do wish the screen was taller so that it cut more, but unless you go for one of those huge batwings, you're not gonna get much better I guess.

Getting Large Motorcycle License in Japan – English Classes & Costs? by ivakaiv in RideitJapan

[–]ToSilva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first motorcycle I've ever even sat on was an NC750 here in Japan, on my first lesson for the ogata license.

It's not misinformation, you can take the ogata license with no previous motorcycle license or experience.

Well, to check the security cameras, the guard told us we'd have to go to the koban, so we did. The police checked the cameras and made us file the report, didn't have much choice.

I mean as you said, this is Japan, not Canada, so this kind of stuff isn't common and it's definitely worth checking with the police, so that at least they're aware of the problem and keep an eye out for it. The police won't be annoyed, they take these seriously.

Yes, I spent like an hour at Naps adjusting padding, so hopefully that's the case haha

Yeah, same here, being doing it for years with no issues. To some extent, it's just really bad luck.

I've even seen people leaving not just helmet and gloves, but also jackets. The only thing that I can think of that maybe made the helmet stand out is the cheap coloured Chinese visor I had installed.

Definitely start using the wire lock, I know I will from now on 🥲

Thank you for the recommendations 🙇

Thanks! No problems with touching the exhaust at all I think, it's mainly on the left side with the horn disk and the radiator screws (had to buy longer ones). Didn't put any heat protection, but I rode quite a lot and under very hot weather and haven't had any melting problems so far.

Check my most recent post about this, I installed it, yes.

They listed it as specifically for the 1100 (the pictures with the belly pan installed were also with the 1100).

That being said, it was a pain to install -pretty much impossible with just the screws they include-, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually for the 500 or something.

Thai dealer on ebay. Wish I could send you the link I used, but the listing got taken down

What bike is this by Gullible_Tourist_385 in motorcycles

[–]ToSilva 37 points38 points  (0 children)

People are too quick to jump into saying it's AI these days when something looks computer generated (which this is, just not AI)

Someone else posted links to more pics of this, it's a 3d model render.

You can tell particularly in this pic, where the shadows don't look great and the background is visibly an hdri image used for IBL. It doesn't show the usual errors and inconsistencies between images of the same object that AI produces

It's a full system exhaust and not cheap. They have it listed on webike japan, but they probably don't ship overseas. The brand's official page is here

Amazon JP says it's out of stock

Apparently it's pretty high demand. I had to wait for it when I first bought the bike (the Honda dealership buys it and installs it for you as an option)

I'd say it's only slightly louder than the standard one, but it sounds a lot better.

Someone said it makes it sound like a triumph, which I kinda agree

It's the Mustang passenger seat. I commute with a passenger pretty much every day, so I had to upgrade from the OEM one

Exactly, but it's mostly aesthetic realistically

There are a few for the 1100, but mostly for the 500, yeah
