Can’t get my seat off. The latch won’t come undone when turning the key. And key gets stuck halfway when I release it. I had to undo the usb-c port thing under the seat and the white cord with the metal at the end fell out of place. I put the round metal bit back in place re installed the usb-c thing and put the seat back on but now I can’t get the seat latch to undo. Any help would be appreciated!
This will be my first bike. I thought I really wanted a Vulcan S, now I am thinking a Rebel 1100 dct might be the better choice for me. I'm 6'3 190lb and I don't want to be uncomfortable or look small on the bike. The adjustability of the Vulcan makes it attractive for that reason, but it really doesn't hold a candle to what the 1100 offers.
I plan to visit some dealers and "try on" both, but sitting isn't riding.
For my tall Rebel owners, do you love it, hate it, regret it? Appreciate the help.
Has anyone done or seen a speaker set up for 1100t saddlebags? Was thinking about trying to do one since the stock handlebars are so tight.

If I’m being honest, when I first got my bike I got some comments about it a “bitch bike” or I’m a pussy for getting an automatic. I LOVE my dual clutch so much but the comments sit in the back of my head always when I’m riding. I’m always hoping that other bikers won’t see my missing clutch lever and think I’m a pussy for getting it. Does anyone else deal with this?
My first bike! I'm excited. After looking at many bikes (Harleys, Suzukis, Vulcans, victory etc) I decided that this is the perfect starter bike for me.
Got my baby her first set of new tires! I was wondering though, there are some white weights (?) on the wheel rim that the shop added when I got the tire change. I didn’t even notice them before I left. You can kind of see them on the front wheel. Does anyone know what those are for?
Picked up the 2024 DCT yesterday, trading in my striple. All the mods were included and boosted I found one with forward controls. Loving it so far!
But a bitch to install partially due to poor instructions. I can see why the reviews are so poor. The installation is a bit difficult, but the instructions are missing information or come with different screws/washers/nuts than the instructions. No torque specs.
Had the Puig Sport windshield before and this one fits the bike so much better. And looks like descent quality.
I first bought the 12.5 inch GPCW windshield and the experience was amazing! But, I’m 170cm and the seat added some more, I should choose the middle(15.5inch) one, but anyway the experience is amazing! You can go with open helmet at 120kmh without issues. But there was a little bit of vibration in the upper part of the helmet and wanted to try these “extenders”, then a friend borrow me one for some days, and yes, air was a lot better but it helped to crack the windshield (as looks like when I installed the GP one I tight so much the screws).
Then I removed and ordered the Puig one, and yes, we all agree, it looks a lot better on the moto, but the air go directly to your face (they claim that should go over it with a 180cm person but it’s a complete lie). And yes, also the moto feels little lighter as the wind hit in a complete different way, and acceleration feels smoother (of course, GP is like drive with a wall on the front) Then I will be ordering a new GP and this time I will be careful tightening the screws!
Then, if you are 150cm maybe the Puig will be good enough, but if you don’t want the wind hit your face, go for the GP, it's crazy amazing !!
I can bring home my Wendy's
Honestly, just wanted to post as I’m trying to figure out what I should do next. I’m debating getting a headlight Cowl, something sleek and paint matched but I’m not sure cause. I also kind of like the straight headlight look. I thought about suspension and perhaps a drag bar but if possible I’d love just a lower amount for the odometer something to make the bike look lower.
Nothing crazy modded—just a few comfort and functional upgrades:
12" Ape Hangers
Highway bars & floorboards (much better for a 6'4" rider)
Taller windshield
Upgraded lighting (total game-changer at night)
Two-up seat
New slip-on exhaust
Cup holder
I want an under fairing still not sure where to get one. As well as a back rest for me if anyone has a suggestion for a back rest please let me know or send me a link.
Hey everyone,
I’m on the verge of buying a Honda Rebel 1100 T DCT because the price is great and the bike has very low mileage.
Since I prefer the clean look of the standard Rebel for daily riding, I’d like to remove the hard bags and the front fairing**/**batwing most of the time. I would only throw on the fairing and some waterproof bags for longer trips.
I have a couple of questions :
How easy is it to take off the bags (including the mounting brackets) and the front fairing on the T version? Do you end up with awkward bracket mounts or exposed holes, or does it strip down to a clean look easily?
Has anyone here run a Miller exhaust? How is fitment on the 1100 rebel touring if u removed the bags?
Trying to find a front fairing for my 2026 Honda Rebel dct CMX1100D but I can’t seem to find anything. Any help will be great #hondarebel
So I'm looking into getting these tires for the bike. They have a gt version for the back tire. I was wandering what size fits the back tire... Or if I could get a fatter version of it for the back.
OK so long saga, I'll try and condense it. This is my 2022 Honda Rebel 1100. I got it used from a used dealer with 1500 miles on it in 2023, so it was pretty new. It's my first bike and I've loved it.
However as I got more and more experience, I started to notice that from 45mph upwards, there's a hop in the bike, like a vertical wobble, almost feeling like you're on a bumpy road. And it is rhythmic, so it repeats, it's not completely random feeling.
I've been chasing this for over a year now, and the shop said "it's within spec for the weight and size of the bike" which is BS. I took it to a Honda dealer, and $150 later they said "yeah there's something but we'd need to spend 3+ hours of labor to tell you what it is.
What I have done is:
At this point, I had it up on the stand and I started spinning the wheel. I've noticed a bit of noise coming from it when riding normally now, and the clicking in the video. I have a feeling that this issue is either the front bearing being worn, BUT more importantly, I think I've noticed a potential warp in the front rotor. If you look in the video, you can see it appears to get higher and lower, almost like a horse on a carousel. Does anyone think this could be my white whale, the reason for the hopping?
Currently rocking a modular Sedici helmet, but looking for something with better aerodynamics/ less wind noise. Any recommendations?
