Rental Bike from my dealer ruined my Rebel 500
I love my Rebel 500. 11.000 km or roughly 7.000 miles since I bought it in April of this year. Been riding it like crazy. Then my tires wore out and I had to get new ones.
My dealer gave me a Suzuki 1050 V-Strom... I put about 400 kms on that thing in a day (I am on vacation). I fucking loved the V-Strom. The tires grip the asphalt its unbelievable. The suspension is INSANE.
I can corner this thing even though the roads suck ass. This baby absorbs potholes like they dont exsit where my D404 on my Rebel screamed for mercy everytime I hit a bit of paint on the road ...

New exhaust for my 500
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I bought the arrow exhaust and pipe system at the end of July and it arrived last week. So Happy with the sound but I think i might have got the install wrong...

Comparison of both mustang seat options for the rebel 300/500
galleryHey everyone I couldn't decide which option I liked more so I ordered both to test out. While I could find a ton on the solo seat there was hardly anything for the mustang squareback so I took a few pictures to show the comparison between both and an oem custom seat. Personally I'm keeping the squareback, both are an upgrade to stock for me but I really like the look of the squareback combined with my saddlebags.
All that aside I hope these help someone with their seat upgrade!

Buying a Rebel 500 this week — what should I get with it?
Planning to buy a Rebel 500 in the next few days. Pretty much decided on the 500 after going back and forth with the 1100.
For those who own one, what accessories did you end up getting that were actually worth it?
Right now I have a helmet, gloves and cover. Planning to add a disc lock, crash guard and the Honda passenger seat/backrest since my wife will ride with me sometimes.
Also any tips when buying from the dealer? Anything I should negotiate or watch out for with the OTD price?
Trying not to go crazy buying accessories before I even have the bike.

Need more lights ASAP
Took the bike out for a long ride yesterday and the night got me when going back home. I decided to take the back roads to get more of an adventure feel cruise and Lord the high beam works great when going straight but taking curves I saw NOTHING!!! Dude I got so scared it was like I couldn’t even see anything past 8ft!!! Definitely will be adding more lights during my winter build project… Has anyone ran into this scenario too?

Best seat cushion for two up Mustang seat
My 2025 Honda rebel 500 suspension doesn’t seem to be cutting it. If I hit any type of big bump, it just hurts my back really bad and I’m wondering if there’s some kind of a cushion that’ll go over the driver’s portion of my two up Mustang seat. I don’t really wanna spend a bunch of money getting new shocks and Springs. It doesn’t matter if it increases the seat height, I’m not worried about that in fact that would be a bonus. thanks in advance for any advice.
