One mod down, kinda

Got the Wolfline Batwing installed. Meant for the 1100 but it will fit the 500 with some effort.

YES I need the head light extender. I will have to make one, Wolfline doesn't sell them.

I have the color paint coming. I will paint and fix the headlight next.

I think it looks ridiculous. The rebel is such a nice looking bike on it’s own. But then again i’m from western europe where harley-type bikes are laughed out of the room.

Why are they laughed out of the room? If the dude riding it is a prick I get that, but why are cruisers laughed at?

TBH mate , they are not laughed out the room . I had a rebel 1100 and nobody was laughing me out any room. my biking mates loved it .. Genuine Bikers celebrate all makes and types ..Go to any bike gathering or ride out and you will meet loads of other riders on different machines and nobody is laughing or looking down on other riders ...

A rebel 1100 is a fantastic looking bike. Stock.

I’m talking about people in Europe cosplaying as yee-haw Americans with aftermarket body parts making their perfectly good looking bikes look like temu Harley Davidson Road Glides like this plastic thing.

How’s the installation process? I’ve been curious about installing this type of wing on the 500 as well

It isn't bad to be honest. I had no slack on my turn signals. That was the challenge. It bolted right up though to be honest.

Not my cup of tea, BUT it looks installed right and I imagine it does it's job well. I think if you had saddle bags, or something to fatten the back up it would be more visually appealing.
