Just wanted to share. I bought it for my wife, she thought it was scary. I was stuck with a 250cc tiny fake harley, so I made lemonade.

after:



The guy that bought it is in love with it, so I guess that's all that really matters.  [moto]

It taught me a bit about wrenches and mechanics, so now I'm less terrified to turn my own bolts. That's a win for me.

but now I want to get a cb-750 to see what I can make out of it.

I think you may have overshot you target a little bit and made some kind of lemon mojito.  Good work  [thumbsup]

I like bikes that scream individuality no matter what they are. That looks good  [thumbsup]

sort of interesting that honda doesn't do sometihing like this themselves with the rebel to make it more beginner friendly for looks.  sure the rebel is still the rebel but it doesn't hurt to slap some cheaper fenders on it and flat paint on it and sell it as a retro look.

good job, very original and it looks like its all very cheap changes you did to completely change the look of the bike.  showing again that sometimes its not about how much money you spend but how you make the mods that count.

what he said :D  haha...

that being said, best.honda.rebel.EVER!

i rode one when i learned to ride and even had one to use after i got my license... i also had a newer style ninja250 to choose from... that rebel never got the love after the ninja showed up.

Man, that bike is full of win.  So much of the stock rebel was kept, but it looks COMPLETELY different.  Solid work.  I'd rock that in a heartbeat.   [moto]  [thumbsup]
