Slight I have the 2023 Silver SE ABS model and I just installed GREY Vans Cult grips OMG They look sooo kewl in Grey ~! Install, 10 min to cut both grips off, 15 minutes getting all the old glue off, five minutes to hairspray and slide and straighten them on. Waiting now for them to dry so I can ride. 70 degrees and sunny in Eugene Or today ~! Kit
So to install these grips, you have to take off the grips that are already on the bike? Sorry, im talking important stuff with my friend so i dnt have tome to watch the video right now
Many reasons for me personally… Some of the positives… Thickens up the grip, reduces some vibration, in wet conditions they seem to have a better grip. Many colours to choose from, Plus I’m a huge fan of Vans ;) so it’s fitting for me. Negatives… they wear out much faster then stock, the wrist saver thing many people put on their throttle side… doesn’t fit well, yet it can be done though. Hope this helps
On my personal Rebel I have the biltwell keystones th-cam.com/video/S3xn9neRRlw/w-d-xo.html If you’re looking for risers Mario’s rebel had them th-cam.com/video/49RCX2Vb_xo/w-d-xo.html
So, not sure if you can help me. But I actually super glued my stock grips to my bike since they were moving around. Now that I want better grips they won't budge. Any tips for removing these?
Like actual super glue or grip glue? Super glue… you will have to cut them off like it did… yet you’ll have to add a step… acetone-based nail polish… you will need to use this to aid in removing the grip and the residue. If that doesn’t work try 2:1 mix of water and white vinegar let it soak and then with a rough cloth or fine sandpaper you’ll be able to remove the residue. Grip glue… add some heat from a heat gun or hair dryer to aid in removal… nail polish remover (acetone) will aid in removal of glue. Hope this helps.
I just installed new Biltwell grips to my 2017 Rebel 500, after installing them I noticed that my throttle became very loose. Now I have to turn it almost 2/3 of the way for it to even engage. Has anyone here had this issue after installing new grips? If so, how did you solve it?
That’s an odd thing to happen… throttle tube and grip mated together properly? You didn’t loosen your throttle cables did you? I would love more info on this. You shouldn’t have that issue at all.
@@SLIGHT_ Apparently I did loosen the throttle cable, I used too much force to get the old grip out. After asking around I should have used a razor blade to cut the old one out. But, you live and you learn lol I’ll be adjusting the cable tomorrow. Thanks for the input :)
I have the same grips on my bike. Love them!

Nice!! The grey would be nice!! I just got another set… yet I’m boring and went black again. ;)
Harley mirrors on a rebel! Jive! ❤️
Absolutely love these. Much better vision
one question please? are they all the same size? they looks awesome :D
@@buuu1985 you will need the 1” kit for the Rebel 300/500. In this kit you will have two inner diameters. The larger opening is for the throttle tube.
@@SLIGHT_ awesome thx :D i know what i have todo tomorrow :D thx for your help :)
Great video. Where did you get that tanks cover?
ACF together, I made a video on this with the added link. th-cam.com/video/_lWxLPmXecw/w-d-xo.html.
amazing work!!! I highly recommend them.

lol, all good dude.
Yes, remove the old ones… install the new ones.
What are the benefits of using the Vans Grips. Is it just comedic or do they feel or perform better than stock? Kit

@@SLIGHT_ Yes thanks ~!
Very good looking with that fairing ! What bracket did you use with it ??

Thanks for the video! I’m looking to buy these, and it says I also need to buy a throttle tube, is that right? I have a 21 Rebel 300
No. The throttle has tube is already on the rebel. You’re only removing the grip.
Do you have risers for your handlebars?
On my personal Rebel I have the biltwell keystones

If you’re looking for risers
Mario’s rebel had them

does the type of hairspray matter? Great video btw thanks!
Nope, any hairspray works.
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate your time.
yes the cheapest you can find is best LOL Kit PS mine was 2 dollars at Bi-Mart ~!
How is the vibration?
@@marcomedina757 grip puppies are better. But they’re not bad.
Do you know if the 1100 is the same? I ordered a set from a shop but was told to order the 7/8 set..
The 1100 uses the 7/8” kit.
@@SLIGHT_ thank you

@@SLIGHT_ I believe it was super glue. I just removed them with a box cutter and I will try to remove the residue now
The glue came off with acetone but I know have some rubber stuck. Any ideas how to remove rubber?
@@dat1phoenix173 same thing. You need to soak it… use the 2:1 mixture and let it soak. This will take some time.
What size did you get ?
The rebel uses the 1” kit.
@@SLIGHT_ thank you. I saw 143 mm sizes and 1 inch so was not sure.

@@christianmercado5510 thanks for the update. Happy everything worked out for you.
What size did you get the 1" or ⅞"?
The rebel uses the 1” kit.
Thanks for watching.
