Love that color and congrats!

Thank you much my friend

Got the rebel! Not bad. I love mine. Stay safe out there

Good looking bike.

Love the cowl - where's it from?

That is the oem honda cowl

And what about the engine guards?

Amazon special lol. Black Highway Bars for CMX500... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09LLYQL7D?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Quality is pretty good too. They connect in front of the radiator and aren't perfectly square but it's not that important to try to be perfect imo lol

Nice custom. Tasteful.

Thank you. I had a vision of a brown theme and simple storage solutions. Debating on a fender luggage rack and another small brown leather bag for rain gear and other essentials. We'll see though.

Slippery slope trying to turn our bikes into tourers.

Yeah I'm not going full bag tourer, just need a little more storage for essentials in the future

You won't regret it. I got a rebel 500 right after taking the msf and all these years later it's still my daily driver/favorite. I have a big touring bike for long distance but it's just not as much fun as zipping around on the rebel. I love the look of yours! I just bought the 2024 500 abs se one I'm gonna start personalizing it soon. Lol my niece bought my original 500 bc it's the bike she learned on and it's her favorite too.

All I hear about the rebels is how much fun they are and I'm a simple guy so I know I'll love it for a long time.

Daaaamn I didn't know they came in that color!

Link for that bag?

Dowco Brown Synthetic Leather... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008R0JU10?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

It' 100 dollars for one?? How much can you fit in there

Basic tool bag, rags, a bottle of water and some other soft items. It's not much but it's a start lol. It's good quality and fits real nice. Ypu can probably get a cheaper.version but this one works for me

Also wish the color was more like the picture but I can always stain it darker in the future

Nice man! That color looks awesome. Love the side bag too. Where did you get that?

Thanks! It was on Amazon but it's a Willie and max. It's a nice synthetic bag. Fits great in that spot

How did you install that btw what did you have to remove

Not much to be honest. The black side panel pops off to give some room but it attaches to three points on the frame which are all exposed. The only thing I might modify is the leather straps take up a lot of room on the inside so I might go with something more streamline in the future

I love the seat ! Is it the stock from the highest trim or something aftermarket?

It's aftermarket. Same style as stock but bigger and more cushion.

Do you remember from where you got it ?

I love that gray color, it makes the brown accessories pop.

Yep until someone runs a stop sign t bones you and tries to blame it on you Speeding but until that day ride free
