- Today I'm going to be installing some new handlebars for my Honda Rebel 500.
They're Kijima bars from Japan. I got them to raise the bars a bit more and pull them back a little.
So that I can get a more upright riding position. With these bars and the installation of my forward controls, I should be much closer to that "cruiser" type riding position that I enjoy.
You can also do this with "risers." They're much easier to install with the stock handlebars and they will give you the same effect. I have both options linked below.

Replacing handle bars for that purpuse is key .
with all the bolted on items you don't notice the gloss finish at all. another good upgrade.
Thanks for a great video and for information i have just ordered Kijima Handlebar they are now doing them in mat black, i changed for risers originally but leaning forward just to much on longer trips.. Keep doing the video's
Way much better now!
@@MotoGearSolid any bar end side mirrors plan?
Looks great!
Does the new handlebar hit the tank when turned all the way. Im just looking for handlebars or even a riser that will not damage the tank when the bike gets dropped. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. You have been a tremendous influence. Thanks for the vids. Keep them coming .
Hey Wayne, I'm having the same stripped bolt issue like you on that meter. Can you share which tool did you use to extract it and link to purchase it? Thanks for all your mod sharings. I have bought some of your recommendations. Great videos!
Hi were did you get the mirrors, they are nice .
Thanks for the video
Wow they look great! I have risers on mine but I still feel like I’m leaning just a tad bit. Love the mirrors. Do you have a video on them?
@@MotoGearSolid thanks I’ll check it out.
Hey dude, I had the Rebel 500 and for some unknown reason I sold it and got the Rebel 1100. You put the 500 next to the 1100 and the diff in size is barely noticeable so I sort of regret my decision. The top speed is unnoticeable. Here in Europe the 500 does 160 km/h and the 1100 does exactly 172 km/h and then you feel the throttle cutting all the power. If I took the speed limiter off the 1100 it would do 228 almost 230 km/h but top speed isn't important for me as long as the bike can do 160 or in miles 100 mp/h. The only real advantage the 1100 has is torque and acceleration, I mean it's seriously fast it does zero to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds. But there's no aftermarket anything here in Europe for the 1100.
The bars look great, I'll be ordering some. Can you tell me what mirrors those are? Are you happy with them? Thanks.
@@MotoGearSolid Thanks for the link. Do you need any kind of adaptor for these?
Is there a place, preferrably in Canada, I can get these? I would love to swap mine. Wanted to go with a higher rise, but seems like to big a job with extensions for cables and stuff. Appreciate any help. Thanks.
Anyone know where I can buy these now? When clicking the link it shows discontinued :(
How does the enhanced sweep feel ergonomically on your wrists?
It’s kind of tiring that the whole handlebar is 1” and everything on it revolves around that. I kind of want it to be more compatible with most aftermarket 7/8” handlebars. I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum: I want clip on bars, but I bet there are 1” ones; just gotta find them.
Did you put the glue on the handle bars or inside the grips?
Can you send me the link to where i can find kojimabar like This i really Need it
How much different are these than just installing the risers you showed?
Did you have to extend any of the cables when you changed to Kijima handle bars. I tried to get 2 inch risers but the service guys said the cables weren't long enough. So will I have issues changing to the kijima bars. I am a women and I too have short arms. So just looking for the best idea. 😅
What tool do you use to get those screws out when you took the original bar off?
Great videos , what kind of mirrors do you have ?
Thank you so much for your reply
What Mirror's are they . Cheers
What's the part number?
Do you know if you can get bar end weights for the 500? I've just changed to this handlebar and I'm noticing vibrations now. What's your experience?
@@MotoGearSolid Yes, I followed your link. I notice it around 90kmh, and I'm sure I didn't get it on the stock bars. Not swapping back though, I like these! Thanks for replying.
@@MotoGearSolid Ok, thanks for your advice. I'll see what I can find.
How tall are they?
It's hard to find a proper "ergonomically" designed handlebar these days. For comfort, you should be able to naturally position your hands out in front, elbows slightly greater than ninety degrees, with your hands relaxed...that is the ideal cruising position. Unfortunately most bars force your wrists and elbow to turn inwards, pinching the nerves and making long riding uncomfortable. A straight bar is great for control, not so much for comfort.
How tall are you mate?
Turn em down and they'll be even better
