👊 Thanks to you and @TheRideOfALifetime for loaning me this seat! I don't have enough butt time on it yet to form a solid opinion, but that's coming soon! 😉👍 --QM
One trick ive learned referring to bleeding motorcycle hydraulic brakes/clutches is the zip tie trick. Pull the handle as far back as it will go and apply a zip tie in that position. Let it sit overnight, remove it the next day and like magic it becomes firmer again. The fluid under pressure will push all air still in the system up into to master cylinder. Has worked for me 100%
Sorry for the late reply! My Rebel has about 12K miles on it so far. The only issues that I've experienced (or heard about from other owners) are the following: - Leaky stator cover oil seal: fixed by factory/extended warranty, easy at-home fix with Honda Bond gasket sealer - Front wheel wobble (head shake): all Rebel 1100's do this to some extent under hard acceleration above 75 mph, solution is to reduce throttle slightly or just ride it out - Weak battery and hard starting: replace battery with a stronger LiFePO4 unit (NOCO NLP14: amzn.to/45RJ0T3 ) - Mediocre OEM Dunlop tires: replace with Metzeler CruiseTec tires for better handling and wet grip - Erratic DCT shifting and idle issues: performing the DCT reset/relearn procedure fixes the issues ( @OnTheRebel11 th-cam.com/video/79UPqzp_aXA/w-d-xo.html ) - Vapor/vacuum lock in fuel tank causing hard starts: open fuel lid to equalize pressure Overall, I've had very few problems with my Rebel, and it's a fun bike to ride. Good luck with your search and I hope you find a good deal! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard I told Go Pam, I'll be at the start of the next CB run in 2025. (I'll be on my way up to Purdue Bay Alaska) from Vero Beach, Florida, my friend and I are going to buy the same trailers you tow behind your Super Cubs
Hi from Scotland…..got the 500. I got a custom heritage distressed leather seat. (Medical gel/memory foam. Love your 1100, with your mods etc. Busy watching the Euros football ⚽️ (Scotland) So will watch at bed time.😊
It all ended with the usual glorious failure for the Scotland team unfortunately - I'm English, live in Kent, never been to Scotland or have any family there, but the first kit I ever got was the Scotland one for the 1978 World Cup - I was 8 years old back then, and the kits long gone but I've still got the FIFA World Cup 1978 Scotland badge from it. 👍🏽👍🏽
Great choice, Quasi! I have the same seat on my ‘22 Rebel. For a short rider like myself, I find it perfect. It helps me with positioning to the bars and ground reach. I used Gus’ video to make my decision.
On Father day I gave my Dad a baitcast fishing reel made by Jim Houston and I been doing yard work and cutting down trees & brushes to he comes back from Evansdale, Iowa! Mr. Aaron
i found a old 5 1/4 floppy drive computer. that we got up and running. and played a game called voo doo castle it took a hour just to remember how to boot it. didn't finish the game i got tired of typing go right over and over then go forward 1000 times then LOOK and wait for 5 minutes to load up and tell me what was there but it was fun to bring back on memories. it was give to me at a garage sale and i was nice enough to give it to someone else
The telemetry data for the heads-up display is recorded by my GoPro Hero11 camera (and my Garmin Zumo GPS when I'm riding with it). The gauge overlay is generated using a third-party program called Telemetry Overlay: goprotelemetryextractor.com/ I stitch everything together with Adobe Premiere Pro to create the final videos. Creating the overlays is a lot of extra work, but I think the end results are worth the effort. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
The Rebel is such a great looking bike. I only wish it was designed for taller riders. I'm 6-2 and find it hard to find a comfortable bike outside of ADV type bikes. ☹️
Yep, the Rebel 1100 isn't comfortable for riders who are 6' or taller. Handlebar risers and forward controls stretch things out a bit, but those cost extra $$$ beyond the original purchase. 😉👍 --QM
First! 🎉🎉🎉 Perfect lunch special! 😅

Heck yeah man!
Did you go to college for computer work?
Yes, back in the Stone Ages when it was still called "computer science". 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard you arent old,the times are changing too fast,lol.i am 70
Forward controls will help you too. Just ordered red dragon. 300ish and look much better than the t rex
Was waiting for this one!

Sorry went to ask re your flyscreen. Is still the one you purchased from We bike Japan the blaster?
Yes, that's the Daytona Blast Barrier that I purchased from Webike Japan: japan.webike.net/products/24739062.html . 😉👍 --QM
How many miles do you have ? And major issues I should look out for during my hunt for a 2021 dct ?

- Weak battery and hard starting: replace battery with a stronger LiFePO4 unit (NOCO NLP14: amzn.to/45RJ0T3 )
- Mediocre OEM Dunlop tires: replace with Metzeler CruiseTec tires for better handling and wet grip
- Erratic DCT shifting and idle issues: performing the DCT reset/relearn procedure fixes the issues ( @OnTheRebel11 th-cam.com/video/79UPqzp_aXA/w-d-xo.html )
- Vapor/vacuum lock in fuel tank causing hard starts: open fuel lid to equalize pressure

what's new? I Guess That Makes Me NUMBER ZERO
Uh-oh... you might be right! Your comment came in at almost the same time as Gus, but you might have beat him by 1 minute! 🤣👍 --QM

Hey we're all here now
Quasi. How are the Metzeler tires doing?
These Metzeler CruiseTec's are doing great! I have about 4000 miles on them, and they still look and ride like new! 😉👍 --QM

I'm looking for a seat to kinda of sit me back a little further, anyone have a recommendation?

I swear, it’s always deja vu every time I watch you ride to your storage facility. Lol. Glad you’re riding again, Aaron.

how do you have all of that data on the screen?

@@QuasiMotard yeah it looks awesome!
Thanks again for awesome video and work commute Mr. Aaron! 🍻
I have had a Mustang seat for a couple of years. I love it, especially with a back rest.
Theres always so many pretty cars at your warehouse lot. Id be so tempted to ask some of the owners if i can go for a test drive in one of them😅
