How customizable is the Rebel 1100 compared to other cruisers?
Cruiser culture is all about customization, and the Honda Rebel 1100’s potential in this area gets talked about a lot. Riders argue about whether or not aftermarket parts are available, whether the bike is easy to modify, and how well the bike takes to custom work versus other traditional cruisers. For some, the Rebel's modern designs are like a blank canvas for customization; others prefer the more open construction of American cruisers. Mostly it talks about performance upgrades, aesthetic modifications, and the balance between keeping the bike’s character and tweaking it to your own needs. We also discuss Honda's own accessory line and how it stacks up against the aftermarket.
It’s a great blank canvas. Now there are tons of aftermarket parts available.
While it’s not as customizable as a Harley, that’s changing. It has more and more companies making parts for it every day.
It’s so easy to change. I swapped the exhaust and added a windscreen in no time.
The issue is that the parts are hard to come by and have to match its unique style. Customizing a traditional cruiser is not as simple.
Official accessories are decent for Honda. Mine is all decked out with their stuff, and it looks great.
It's surprisingly versatile. Rebels have been turned into everything from cafe racers to baggers that I’ve seen.
It’s fun to customize, but I think it looks great stock. Not all bikes need to be heavily modified.
While the aftermarket is growing, it is nowhere near the size of other models that have been around for a while. Give it time, though.
It's not as if I haven't had trouble finding ways to make mine different. Creativity and patience are all it’s about.
It’s also one cool thing how a few mods can make the bike look so different. It's very transformable.
