Just installed the 2 inch rox risers. This video was a life saver thank you so much. After 3 hours my mechanic gave up on getting the risers in with this windshield. Luckily I was able to see the bike with the handle bars of. So after going back and watching the video at 4:20 and 21:20. I was able to figure it out. And yes I made sure to run it in my mechanics nose. Lol
Just got my Rebel 1100 DCT a week ago and want to thank you for this and the many other videos you have created which has both motivated me to buy this make/model as well as make it my own by adding accessories fitting to my riding style and comfort needs. Today it's faring and riser install. Later the Viking bags, Coffmans Thunder exhaust and, of course the Corbin Classic Solo seat. THANKS!
Hi Augie!! I'm happy to hear that you are finding the videos helpful!! Thank you for sharing your feedback, you made my day! You will have a busy day my friend, i hope you set some time aside! FYI, in case you haven't seen it yet, i just posted an installation video for the Viking bags, hopefully you will find it helpful.
I know this is an older video, but I spent a good couple hours trying to figure out how to disconnect the electrical cables from the display (that annoying s shaped metal clip is intimidating when you don't know how those fragile plastic connectors are held on). I didn't want to just start cutting the tape off without knowing what was under it. 5 minutes looking through your videos and i found the breakdown here, and it's exactly what i needed to know. Just wanted you to know you were appreciated!
Well I finally just installed mine with the assistance of your video. Now I understood why you were struggling to explain certain aspects because it is never been done in a video before lol. Talk about complications. Now I understand why there is only one video on TH-cam with the installation walkthrough. Thanks for helping me get this on the bike for my birthday buddy.
@@ontherebel11 thanks man. There was a few places I struggled because I needed a different view from your camera and that yours was with the risers, but I couldn’t have done it without your help.
@@ontherebel11 thank you. Btw would you please either do a updated video on all your bags that you have now including the little bag you have mounted to your frame behind your right leg, and how it’s mounted. Or if your on Instagram a video there might be easier to deal with. I’m ding to buy bags for mine and I know you’ve had several variations.
Finally I got the stay attached. In reality is not that difficult but it is a pain. Who knew a simple push and tilt of the headlamp did the trick. Learned you can't never have enough extra screws and bolts of all types. I noticed how easily some of the bolt and screw heads strip. The OEM bolts that came with the stay garbage.

Another great video. OMG you are so helpful. Quick question - can I put the 3" risers on AFTER the batwing is installed? I hope to pick up my bike by the end of the month and I was going to have the dealership put on the batwing...then do the risers myself later. Thoughts?
Thank you ma'am! I would recommend putting the risers on first, since you will need to move the headlight out of the way to reroute the front brake line. Btw, the dealership could also install them for you, others have shared the installation videos with the dealership when they got push back.
Thanks for the Video, I found it very use full specially were the light connectors are located. I'm actually installing the Kijima accessory bar and couldn't figure out how to disconnect some of the cables.
@@ontherebel11 good day On the turn signal connectors how did you remove the gray to gray connector from the piece of metal that it seems to be attached with the black tape.
@@DanielSan-sw9px hi Daniel! The best way to remove it is to cut the tape like I did with the other connector to get to the release tab. In my case I think I used a screw driver and force to pry it off the metal bracket as I didn't know where the release tab was.... Don't do it my way, that was how I was able to learn about the tab.
I’m looking at getting the rox handlebar risers, but also want a Memphis shades fender. The rox risers have a disclaimer that they likely will not work with after market fairings. It does not look like you had an issue having both though? Do you think the Memphis shades trigger lock mount would work with the rox risers? I can’t see why not watching installations of both
I have a friend that installed 4 inch risers with his Memphis shades screen, but i didn't personally install it for him so i'm not sure if he had to modify anything.
Installed the windscreen primarily based on your video. At 60+ mph, the air hitting my helmet is not at all smooth, as you state. So much helmet buffeting I will be investing in Excedrin.
Do you have vibrations coming from the batwing? I get a bit of clattering sound that arises during the contact between batwing and shield after 3K RPM.
Hi Adam, I don't get any vibrations, I do get the whistle, which is generated by the gap you describe, I would recommend to check the well nuts for tightness and also to install some weather stripping in that gap. 🤙
I´m going to install the 3" rox risers but i already have the batwing in place...in your opinion can it be done without removing the batwing? just removing the windshild to get more work space? thanks
You can remove the batwing and screen but not the stay, it's just a few screws, the challenge you will have is with the front brake line, I highly recommend getting a brake line extension, you won't need to remove the difficult fairing stay to install the risers 🤙
@@ontherebel11 once again, thanks for your videos and your top tips. I will try to remove the headlight without removing the stay , to re-routing the brake and the hand brake cable instead getting an extension.... wish me luck 🤪🤞
I have everything installed but the windshield. The bolts don't quite seem long enough with the 2 washers to reach the well nut. I am sure I am just doing something wrong, but it doesn't seem like it should be that difficult. I have checked and the bolts that I am using are the 16mm but I can quite get them to grab. Any suggestions?
Hi Rob! I'm sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with the well nuts, would it be possible to send me a few pictures so I can see what could be causing the issue? Ontherebel11@gmail.com
Thank you for your video. im about to buy a used rebel 1100 that already have the batwing installed. let say if i want to remove it do i need to buy or look for the old stock screw that were replaced by the new batwing or simply using the same screw that were on the bike?
Hello, would the air intake of the fairing be a good place to install a dash cam. Not many places to do so. I just want a good position, not looking for go-pro quality but more like for insurance purposes, reading license plates etc....
Hi Daniel! I just measured the vent, it is 19 mm tall by 11 cm long. I'm not sure if there is a camera small enough to fit in that gap. If you do find one that small, the one thing to keep in mind is if it disrupts the air flow enough to cause a whistle or even create turbulence to the air hitting your helmet, as that vent is designed to create a smooth air flow over your helmet. Just something to keep in mind. Other than that, that angle will get the best video of the traffic ahead. Hope that helps Daniel!
Another great video. I’m working on disconnecting the dash cables. I’ve removed all the dash connectors from the metal bracket except the gray taped connector- as I don’t see a way to access the retaining clip without removing the gray tape to be able to cut a small hole into the black tape. Is there an easier way? Thank you 🙏🏽.
Thank you Albert! 🙏 If I remember correctly, I think I cut a small hole in the black tape of the grey connector diagonally, and put a thin screwdriver to put down on the clip. Try that out brother. Worst case, you could cut the grey tape and retape it if necessary.
@@albertsanchez8007 Albert! Congratulations man! I'm so happy that you have it installed, you should be proud of yourself as this is one of the toughest projects on the rebel!!!
@@ontherebel11 thanks! I have the stock handlebar with no risers. Do I need to use the spacers at all? Will my installation be exactly the same as yours? I'm just trying to understand the complexity before I open up the bike!
@@ajobha hi Ashish! No brother, you won't need the pacers that I use, but the kit comes with its own spacers (collar) that need to be used. If you reference the instructions that come with the batwing, you can follow it for that section, everything else you can follow the video. While following the video, you'll notice that I note the section that only applies to bikes with risers, so you can skip that section.
Hi Anthony! Great question! On the rebel 1100 world Facebook group, Peter posted about it in the past, this was one I liked, you might find the post helpful, I think he updated the mount since, you'll see it in the comments facebook.com/share/p/fy8359Je4M4QFJTt/?mibextid=oFDknk Hope this helps brother! 🍻
@my2wheels Sorry, Anthony I haven't used this bracket in the past, but judging by the Pic, it should be a straight bolt on with the 2 bolts holding the speedo. Probably seeing the section in the video where I take off the speedo will be helpful. In the risers installation video.
Hi Evelyn, I haven't personally had the chance to see a 300 in person so I'm not entirely sure if it would work. Maybe with some modifications it might.... Wish I had a better answer Evelyn...
Hi Jeffrey, thank you for your kind words brother! The risers you see are 4 inch rox pivoting risers, you don't need any extensions, but you will need to reroute the front brake line as well as the parking brake / clutch cable. Here is an installation video for the 3 inch risers, the process is the same with the exception of needing to reroute the parking brake line. Adding these risers are the best option to eliminate the forward lean as it allows you to keep the stock handlebars without the mess of removing all the controls while only costing $100. Highly recommend to make the bike more comfortable and easier to maneuver. th-cam.com/video/VhArqGFRD7U/w-d-xo.html
Happy Thanksgiving Dean! In my case it took many hours as I had to figure out a few things and filming it also adds time, the first day I had to stop recording as I was running out of time. If you follow the video, you should set aside apx 4 hours just in case you run into some challenges. I hope that answers your question buddy
Hi Jay! Here is the link from Honda, you might get lucky and find 1 in stock! shop.powersports.honda.com/products/productdetail/part_number=08R72-MLA-A00/16023.0.1.1 shop.powersports.honda.com/p/windscreen-fairing-attachment shop.powersports.honda.com/p/windscreen-fairing-stay
I have a dct version with oem batwing installed. I want to put a riser for more reach. Can you recommend me one? and is it straight installation without any modifications? Thank you!
Hi Truong, i currently have 4 inch risers installed with the batwing, that required me to reroute the front brake line and the parking brake line. My risers are called rox pivoting risers, you can get them in 2 and 3 inch versions. Here is a video you might find helpful.th-cam.com/video/VhArqGFRD7U/w-d-xo.html Also, please join the facebook group as there is a dedicated post for risers with tons of information.
I notice you have fitted the cowl well nuts the wrong way, they go through from the outside with the thread furthest from the cowl that way the cowl is rubber mounted and the steel stay cannot wear against the plastic cowl so they are pushed into the holes towards the inside then the screw tightens the whole thing together so there is in effect a rubber washer between the metal stay and the plastic cowl. If you look at the install it shows them being put into the holes from the outside then tighten. Just a quick tip do not fit the headlight cowl before the main stay as it will give you a bit more wriggle room to fit the headlight mounts and top stays, it is easy enough to fit with the mainstay in place. I got lucky again and a screen was put on e-bay by a dealer so I bought it with a very good discount ( must have been the original buyers deposit ) and it turned up next day so it is now fitted and ready.
Hi William! Thank you for your feedback and tips, this is what makes our community so great!! You are right about the well nuts, someone else pointed it out to me as well. I haven't had a chance to reverse them on mine yet, but will be doing it in as soon as i get the chance!
Great video, thanks for posting! You mentioned a source in Florida. Since my order at Honda Powersports just got cancelled due to lack of inventory, can you share the best way how to get my hands on one as well? Thanks again!!
Thank you AutusFL! I'm sorry to hear that your order got cancelled..... That sucks! what i recommend to do is call a dealer and ask them to check the system to see which dealership in the country has it on hand, then call that dealership to buy it directly from them, that's how i got lucky thanks to Kris on the facebook group! Prepare to work the phones..... you might get lucky like i did! Best of luck!
@@ontherebel11 Thanks again Rebel 11! Just as you indicated, God almighty blessed me with a dealership in FL that had a single batwing kit on hands, after working the phones like a maniac! The kit should arrive in the beginning of next week. So, It's now time to start studying your video/photos and drink lots of passion fruit (to be extra patient)!! I do not have raisers on my bike, so hopefully it will help! Thank you again!!
@@autusfl155 that is wonderful news! Congratulations! Please keep us posted! Reach out to me should you have any questions at all! Thank you for sharing, you made my day! 🤙
This is the clip on visor i have, size medium, smoke color. www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/puig-clip-on-windscreen-visor if you have a chance, i'm going to post a full review video of the batwing including the clip on visor. it worked extremely well actually.
@@ontherebel11 Wonder if you could just get a taller windshield to fit the Rebel 1100. I would want something the same height as like with the clip on. I wear half helmets
@@michaelm.6016 I am certain that there will be plenty of taller screens available in the future, many would like to have them for a more comfortable ride. We just need to be patient until the companies catch up with demand for a brand new model that isn't easy to come by.
Extremely thorough. I had a lot of questions, and you answered them all! Thank you so much! Wondering if it would be possible to get the fairings painted to color match the rest of the bike. The Metallic Black. Okay, guess just one question, LOL.
Thank you Michael! It is certainly possible to paint the fairing, you can get the paint code from the sticker under the seat so that the shop could match the same color, some people have done that!
You are not kidding about striping the bolts. Thank fully is had replacement bolts, I just hope the treads where the headlight attaches were not striped as well. it is a $500 piece. Also I learned, just shut your phone off. Need concentration while doing it.
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that Daniel! If the threads started to strip on the lower bridge, stop and don't force it, you might be able to repair the threads with a thread restorer, otherwise you will be to drill it out and rethread the hole. I hope that you were able to make it work brother!
@@ontherebel11 Thankfully it was just the screws, I just tried and it worked, in any case, I will order more bolts as the ones I have are the same tread but shorter. M6x55, does that means M6 size by 55 mm lenght?
Hey man! Really enjoyed watching your video here, super informative, although I do have a few extra questions if you don't mind answering to the best of your knowledge, I am 6'2 and from the two rides I've gone on with my rebel at high speed 65-80 mph I am absolutely getting hammered by high winds haha I know I need the bat wing and windshield but what benefit may I get if I also got the 4 inch risers as well? That would benefit me with my height wouldn't it? I subbed to your channel btw!
Thank you for your kind words and the sub brother!!! A screen will make a huge difference in your enjoyment, i'm a huge fan of any screen! Honestly speaking, the batwing is just for looks, the screen that comes with the batwing provides decent coverage for me at 5'7" . For your height i would estimate the wind blast to be around the neck or chin area, you have the option to add a clip on visor to deflect the blast a little higher. I am confident that in the future we will find companies offering a direct swap for the screen that provides better coverage. I installed the pivoting risers to eliminate the forward lean, and they do a great job at that, without them i wouldn't have kept the bike tbh. In your case, reach isn't the issue, so the risers will raise the bars higher by up to 4 inches, meaning your arms will be more horizontal which will make the riding experience more comfortable. The benefits of the pivoting risers that i'm using is that you can dial in the perfect handlebar position for you, i.e. raised straight up, or tilted at an angle. It is the cheapest and easiest way to enhance the riding position without the expense and mess of swapping out the bars and having to get extensions for the wiring etc.... nothing is available yet but Burly brands will soon be selling their extensions if i'm not mistaken.
@@ontherebel11 Ok great man! Really appreciate your insight man! I was reading earlier on a reply you made to another person about a Facebook group about the subject what was the name of it?
@@theramblinggamer165 Anytime brother! Definitely join the facebook group, we are apx 1,500 rebel 1100 owners discussing anything and everything in full detail about the 1100, facebook.com/groups/hondarebel1100world
I still can't get this on for the life of me. I can get the spacers on and the headlight onto the bridge, but then the bracket dosent line up over the spacers and its to tight to move it without starting over.
I know your frustration very well! Did you zip tie the stay to the upper bridge? The key for me was to tilt the headlight forward with the spacers on, while simultaneously pulling the stay with my index fingers out to get it slightly over the spacers, then holding that position to get the light housing over the bottom bridge, once over the bottom bridge, the tension holds everything in place while you continue to align the stay over the spacers and push back the whole unit over the bottom bridge. It took me many hours and many tires to get it to work, be patient with it and you'll get it done. 🤙
Make sure the indicators are off and push up on the stay while you put it in place over the spacers , a little leverage helped me just at the last to get the stay over the spacers the rubber bush will give a little then drop in the bolts, carefully start each mounting bolt by hand before using any tools on them, a crossed thread is the last thing you need.
@@zoltannyari9571 I'm 5.9 and find that the glass is too short. I had to actually raise the glass to one level, so I have some space now between the plastic and glass. Also, it only holds on two bolts instead of four now. It did help a lot. Also, after initial installation, I find lots of air coming from the underneath the bike.
Hi Ivy, I agree with you, it is ugly, that's why I only use it when I am doing long distance touring. Fyi, in my case it doesn't affect my line of sight at all, my camera is mounted at chin level, so it distorts the angle.
There aren't any taller screens that attach directly to the batwing at the moment, I'm sure in the future there will be. I'll definitely get a taller screen for long distance touring when they become available. Thank you.

Excellent video thanks a lot well worth spending Sunday afternoon installing the fairing.
Thank you so much Ryan! congratulations brother, i'm so happy that the video was helpful!!!!! Your bike looks great!!!!
I have everything installed but the windshield. The bolts don't quite seem long enough with the 2 washers to reach the well nut. I am sure I am just doing something wrong, but it doesn't seem like it should be that difficult. I have checked and the bolts that I am using are the 16mm but I can quite get them to grab. Any suggestions?
Hi Rob! I'm sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with the well nuts, would it be possible to send me a few pictures so I can see what could be causing the issue? Ontherebel11@gmail.com
Thank you for your video. im about to buy a used rebel 1100 that already have the batwing installed. let say if i want to remove it do i need to buy or look for the old stock screw that were replaced by the new batwing or simply using the same screw that were on the bike?
Hi StanC52! Yes sir, you will need to use the short bolts for the dashboard. They are M6 x 1, so you can can a replacement set at homedepot. 👍
@@ontherebel11 ok thank you for the info
Can you fit a small cowl on the same brack as the batwing cowl??
Hi Adam, i'm not sure tbh.... i wish i had a better answer for you..
Hello, would the air intake of the fairing be a good place to install a dash cam. Not many places to do so. I just want a good position, not looking for go-pro quality but more like for insurance purposes, reading license plates etc....
Hi Daniel! I just measured the vent, it is 19 mm tall by 11 cm long. I'm not sure if there is a camera small enough to fit in that gap. If you do find one that small, the one thing to keep in mind is if it disrupts the air flow enough to cause a whistle or even create turbulence to the air hitting your helmet, as that vent is designed to create a smooth air flow over your helmet. Just something to keep in mind. Other than that, that angle will get the best video of the traffic ahead. Hope that helps Daniel!
Another great video. I’m working on disconnecting the dash cables. I’ve removed all the dash connectors from the metal bracket except the gray taped connector- as I don’t see a way to access the retaining clip without removing the gray tape to be able to cut a small hole into the black tape. Is there an easier way? Thank you 🙏🏽.
Thank you Albert! 🙏
If I remember correctly, I think I cut a small hole in the black tape of the grey connector diagonally, and put a thin screwdriver to put down on the clip. Try that out brother. Worst case, you could cut the grey tape and retape it if necessary.
@@ontherebel11yes good idea, thank you!
@@albertsanchez8007 anytime brother!
@@ontherebel11 that worked well. Batwing installed! Thank you so much for your videos, positivity and help. Much appreciated! 💥
@@albertsanchez8007 Albert! Congratulations man! I'm so happy that you have it installed, you should be proud of yourself as this is one of the toughest projects on the rebel!!!
Thanks for the video! Is this the OEM windscreen or aftermarket?
Hi Ashish! This is the oem batwing and screen! 👍
@@ontherebel11 thanks! I have the stock handlebar with no risers. Do I need to use the spacers at all? Will my installation be exactly the same as yours? I'm just trying to understand the complexity before I open up the bike!
@@ajobha hi Ashish! No brother, you won't need the pacers that I use, but the kit comes with its own spacers (collar) that need to be used. If you reference the instructions that come with the batwing, you can follow it for that section, everything else you can follow the video. While following the video, you'll notice that I note the section that only applies to bikes with risers, so you can skip that section.
I'm glad Memphis Shades does exist!
Only one problem...I can only LIKE this video once.

Thanks!
Thank you so much brother! I sincerely appreciate the encouragement! 🙏
Gus, Instructions for a honda rebel cmx 1100 navigation bar bracket. Unable to find any. Please help…..
Hi Anthony! Great question! On the rebel 1100 world Facebook group, Peter posted about it in the past, this was one I liked, you might find the post helpful, I think he updated the mount since, you'll see it in the comments facebook.com/share/p/fy8359Je4M4QFJTt/?mibextid=oFDknk
Hope this helps brother! 🍻
Here is another one facebook.com/share/p/761XuiWXShDaAXoE/?mibextid=oFDknk
@@ontherebel11 Gus, no that’s not it. Already have the bracket, but not the same.
No instructions on how do you put this on? I need help!
@my2wheels Sorry, Anthony I haven't used this bracket in the past, but judging by the Pic, it should be a straight bolt on with the 2 bolts holding the speedo. Probably seeing the section in the video where I take off the speedo will be helpful. In the risers installation video.
Thank You for that 👍
I'm happy you found it helpful!
it was very helpfull video , nice work 👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much Nomad!!

Would this fit on a rebel 300???
Hi Zach! I don't think it will fit as is, maybe with some metal fabrication and adjustment it might be possible. If there's a will, there's a way!
Cam I get a link to that clip on visor ?
Hi Crystianleo, here is the link to the clip on visor, size medium www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/puig-clip-on-windscreen-visor
Does this only fit the 1100 Rebel not the 300 Rebel?
Hi Evelyn, I haven't personally had the chance to see a 300 in person so I'm not entirely sure if it would work. Maybe with some modifications it might.... Wish I had a better answer Evelyn...
Do you have a video relating to the lifting of the handlebars and the passage of the cables?
thank you so much
👍
Just watched your video another very good video keep up the good work!!!! Thanks
Thank you for your encouragement George, I am grateful brother!!!
How high are your risers and did you have to extend any cables or wires? Thanks for a great video.
Hi Jeffrey, thank you for your kind words brother! The risers you see are 4 inch rox pivoting risers, you don't need any extensions, but you will need to reroute the front brake line as well as the parking brake / clutch cable. Here is an installation video for the 3 inch risers, the process is the same with the exception of needing to reroute the parking brake line. Adding these risers are the best option to eliminate the forward lean as it allows you to keep the stock handlebars without the mess of removing all the controls while only costing $100. Highly recommend to make the bike more comfortable and easier to maneuver.

Does anyone know if the screen will fit onto the Rebel 500 . I’ve asked main dealers and they haven’t replied ?
That's a good questions Annette! if the light is the same diameter, i'm sure with a little ingenuity and metal fabrication it could work.
Happy thanks givings
Love the videos.
I am still waiting for the bat cowl attachment.
How long did it take to install the batwing the 1st time?
Happy Thanksgiving Dean! In my case it took many hours as I had to figure out a few things and filming it also adds time, the first day I had to stop recording as I was running out of time. If you follow the video, you should set aside apx 4 hours just in case you run into some challenges. I hope that answers your question buddy
@@ontherebel11 thanks for the quick reply.
Will set aside the whole day when the final piece arrives.
@@deanbuglass8720 sure thing brother! What are you missing? The original kit I had ordered from the dealership back in April is still not here.....

Missing the cowl attachment which comes with all the screws. Latest news is mid December, been waiting since May.

I have a dct version with oem batwing installed. I want to put a riser for more reach. Can you recommend me one? and is it straight installation without any modifications? Thank you!
Hi Truong, i currently have 4 inch risers installed with the batwing, that required me to reroute the front brake line and the parking brake line. My risers are called rox pivoting risers, you can get them in 2 and 3 inch versions. Here is a video you might find helpful.th-cam.com/video/VhArqGFRD7U/w-d-xo.html
Also, please join the facebook group as there is a dedicated post for risers with tons of information.
Thank you!!!!
You are welcome Mehkii!
Is this OEM batwing?
Yes it is!
I notice you have fitted the cowl well nuts the wrong way, they go through from the outside with the thread furthest from the cowl that way the cowl is rubber mounted and the steel stay cannot wear against the plastic cowl so they are pushed into the holes towards the inside then the screw tightens the whole thing together so there is in effect a rubber washer between the metal stay and the plastic cowl. If you look at the install it shows them being put into the holes from the outside then tighten. Just a quick tip do not fit the headlight cowl before the main stay as it will give you a bit more wriggle room to fit the headlight mounts and top stays, it is easy enough to fit with the mainstay in place. I got lucky again and a screen was put on e-bay by a dealer so I bought it with a very good discount ( must have been the original buyers deposit ) and it turned up next day so it is now fitted and ready.
Hi William! Thank you for your feedback and tips, this is what makes our community so great!! You are right about the well nuts, someone else pointed it out to me as well. I haven't had a chance to reverse them on mine yet, but will be doing it in as soon as i get the chance!
great install video… now I just need the windshield
Thank you TK!!!!! I sincerely appreciate your support!
Great video, thanks for posting! You mentioned a source in Florida. Since my order at Honda Powersports just got cancelled due to lack of inventory, can you share the best way how to get my hands on one as well? Thanks again!!
Thank you AutusFL! I'm sorry to hear that your order got cancelled..... That sucks! what i recommend to do is call a dealer and ask them to check the system to see which dealership in the country has it on hand, then call that dealership to buy it directly from them, that's how i got lucky thanks to Kris on the facebook group! Prepare to work the phones..... you might get lucky like i did! Best of luck!
@@ontherebel11 Awesome! Thanks very much!
@@ontherebel11 Thanks again Rebel 11! Just as you indicated, God almighty blessed me with a dealership in FL that had a single batwing kit on hands, after working the phones like a maniac! The kit should arrive in the beginning of next week. So, It's now time to start studying your video/photos and drink lots of passion fruit (to be extra patient)!! I do not have raisers on my bike, so hopefully it will help! Thank you again!!

1 more.. The windshield extender, what brand and model was it? Seemed to work good
This is the clip on visor i have, size medium, smoke color. www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/puig-clip-on-windscreen-visor
if you have a chance, i'm going to post a full review video of the batwing including the clip on visor. it worked extremely well actually.
@@ontherebel11 Wonder if you could just get a taller windshield to fit the Rebel 1100. I would want something the same height as like with the clip on. I wear half helmets
@@michaelm.6016 I am certain that there will be plenty of taller screens available in the future, many would like to have them for a more comfortable ride. We just need to be patient until the companies catch up with demand for a brand new model that isn't easy to come by.
Extremely thorough. I had a lot of questions, and you answered them all! Thank you so much! Wondering if it would be possible to get the fairings painted to color match the rest of the bike. The Metallic Black. Okay, guess just one question, LOL.
Thank you Michael! It is certainly possible to paint the fairing, you can get the paint code from the sticker under the seat so that the shop could match the same color, some people have done that!
Hey what are the upgrades you did to your exhaust
Hi Chad, a former member of the facebook group had an exhaust custom made, i was lucky to get it off him when he sold his rebel.
You are not kidding about striping the bolts. Thank fully is had replacement bolts, I just hope the treads where the headlight attaches were not striped as well. it is a $500 piece. Also I learned, just shut your phone off. Need concentration while doing it.
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that Daniel! If the threads started to strip on the lower bridge, stop and don't force it, you might be able to repair the threads with a thread restorer, otherwise you will be to drill it out and rethread the hole. I hope that you were able to make it work brother!
@@ontherebel11 Thankfully it was just the screws, I just tried and it worked, in any case, I will order more bolts as the ones I have are the same tread but shorter. M6x55, does that means M6 size by 55 mm lenght?
@@DanielSan-sw9px that's great news Daniel! Yes sir M6 (6mm) x 55 mm long. Have you completed the install yet?
@@ontherebel11 Not yet, I'm waiting for better weather so i can do it outside
Hey man! Really enjoyed watching your video here, super informative, although I do have a few extra questions if you don't mind answering to the best of your knowledge, I am 6'2 and from the two rides I've gone on with my rebel at high speed 65-80 mph I am absolutely getting hammered by high winds haha I know I need the bat wing and windshield but what benefit may I get if I also got the 4 inch risers as well? That would benefit me with my height wouldn't it? I subbed to your channel btw!
Thank you for your kind words and the sub brother!!! A screen will make a huge difference in your enjoyment, i'm a huge fan of any screen! Honestly speaking, the batwing is just for looks, the screen that comes with the batwing provides decent coverage for me at 5'7" . For your height i would estimate the wind blast to be around the neck or chin area, you have the option to add a clip on visor to deflect the blast a little higher. I am confident that in the future we will find companies offering a direct swap for the screen that provides better coverage. I installed the pivoting risers to eliminate the forward lean, and they do a great job at that, without them i wouldn't have kept the bike tbh. In your case, reach isn't the issue, so the risers will raise the bars higher by up to 4 inches, meaning your arms will be more horizontal which will make the riding experience more comfortable. The benefits of the pivoting risers that i'm using is that you can dial in the perfect handlebar position for you, i.e. raised straight up, or tilted at an angle. It is the cheapest and easiest way to enhance the riding position without the expense and mess of swapping out the bars and having to get extensions for the wiring etc.... nothing is available yet but Burly brands will soon be selling their extensions if i'm not mistaken.
@@ontherebel11 Ok great man! Really appreciate your insight man! I was reading earlier on a reply you made to another person about a Facebook group about the subject what was the name of it?
@@theramblinggamer165 Anytime brother! Definitely join the facebook group, we are apx 1,500 rebel 1100 owners discussing anything and everything in full detail about the 1100, facebook.com/groups/hondarebel1100world
I still can't get this on for the life of me. I can get the spacers on and the headlight onto the bridge, but then the bracket dosent line up over the spacers and its to tight to move it without starting over.
I know your frustration very well! Did you zip tie the stay to the upper bridge? The key for me was to tilt the headlight forward with the spacers on, while simultaneously pulling the stay with my index fingers out to get it slightly over the spacers, then holding that position to get the light housing over the bottom bridge, once over the bottom bridge, the tension holds everything in place while you continue to align the stay over the spacers and push back the whole unit over the bottom bridge. It took me many hours and many tires to get it to work, be patient with it and you'll get it done. 🤙
Make sure the indicators are off and push up on the stay while you put it in place over the spacers , a little leverage helped me just at the last to get the stay over the spacers the rubber bush will give a little then drop in the bolts, carefully start each mounting bolt by hand before using any tools on them, a crossed thread is the last thing you need.
One question. How tall are you?
Hi Zoltan, i'm 5'7 my man.
Thank you i am 5.9 so i hope will be right for me too. 👊
@@zoltannyari9571 I'm 5.9 and find that the glass is too short. I had to actually raise the glass to one level, so I have some space now between the plastic and glass. Also, it only holds on two bolts instead of four now. It did help a lot. Also, after initial installation, I find lots of air coming from the underneath the bike.
Yeah Honda doesn't make anything for the 6 1/2' people. My knees hit the fairing on a Goldwing!!!
@@hvymax I can conversely relate 🤣🤣🤣 the rebel is the first bike I can flat foot! Strange feeling 🤣🤣🤣 but I like it!
It looks bad and when you put the extension on it you can't look over the screen !
Hi Ivy, I agree with you, it is ugly, that's why I only use it when I am doing long distance touring. Fyi, in my case it doesn't affect my line of sight at all, my camera is mounted at chin level, so it distorts the angle.
Why the clipon? Doesn’t make any sense?… just get a bigger windscreen/deflector?… 🤔🤔🤔
There aren't any taller screens that attach directly to the batwing at the moment, I'm sure in the future there will be. I'll definitely get a taller screen for long distance touring when they become available. Thank you.
Two hands on the wheel damn it
You are absolutely right!!!!! I will tell shorty when i see him!!! LOL
“patience”… a lot ;)
LOL , it was easier the second time around LMAO
Nice cowl/windscreen, but Gawd Damn that install looks like ass lolz. You'd think they would of had a less involved way of installing it lol.
Yes, the video doesn't capture how many days of frustration and failure it took to make it work.... Very involved! Thank you for your feedback 🤙
A real pain in the @SS!
I couldn't agree more....
I like it, but Honda wants WAY too much money for it.
I totally understand where you are coming from, it is rather pricey......
