HONDA 250 REBEL BOBBER 

They are big, thats for sure, I appreciate the kind words, be safe!

Oh, I still have one, there bullet proof bikes..I wouldn't get rid of it by any means

They are really good bikes, take really good care of them and they'll last a lifetime

Sorry for the late reply..theres not a whole lot of difference between any 250 out there and a exhaust set up like this there all going to sound comparable, its only when you start getting into the twins it starts really making a difference in sound.:).

It was a fun build with a friend. Thnx!

Hey thanks so much Oscar, I appreciate the comment! have a great weekend:)

Sorry fo the late reply, its got a crank case breather yes

We got those at a leather store someone made years ago... with i could say ebay or something but that's not the case

Thanks, this one has moved on unfortunately

fire away, or you can reach me at dudewhatthesmackisthat82@gmail.com

I got to be honest, I'd hate to waste your money on an Idea, Rebels are amazing bikes, incredibly reliable and a great starter bike for sure, but I think you'd be best suited on a 600 or more for your size. I'm 6' and 180 and I look a little big on a 250 for sure (I still ride it here and there), I think after you learn the controls you might be hungry for a little more power to pull away from cars if you need to, but in a parking lot I teach everyone how to ride on a 250 first. Most people I teach wind up going after a 600 or bigger once they learn the controls, I have a brother in law who has been riding a 250 for a long time, suits him just fine for his size 5'7 5'8?? So to give you my honest opinion, for the sake of saving you money and time I'd move straight into a 600 or higher, but if money and time isn't a worry for you right now, yeah, get that bike you like. You'll figure out later what to do after you get the controls down:) hope this helps in your decision, thanks for you comment:)

Thanks for the comment, I play the drums too! best thing to do is to check the local listings theres always a bobber or two listed and until you start finding people who ride as well and can plug you in, hope that helps some.. be safe!

Paul Faria -- We take the approach like the GI's from the old days...using anything laying around (tastefully) to get the look of a bobber.. save a lot of money this way!!;) Thanks for the comment;)

it works, its custom, and it starts conversation. this gets me wanting to be out wrenchin on my bike

Thanks:)

Isi Manu - yep;)

there a 7/8's mid ape bar from ebay

they are..

I don't remember what the sizes were on this bike, if you scroll down on the comments, I swear someone sometime ago asked the same question and I knew then.

Its a great beginner bike for sure, the problem is might be a titch small for you and there real easy to grow out of, your size? id probably scale up to a 650 shadow, smaller, but has a good amount of power.. hope that helps

@@bannanapancake thanks dude, I actually ended up getting a Honda vt600, it’s not as bad to handle as I thought haha

@@deadman983 ride safe;)

Tony Simsek if you chop out the baffles, you will probably need to reject the carbs yeah..hope that helps;)

bannanapancake ohh great in that case, I'll stick back the the baffles or make some type of baffles that'll fit right. thank you

its on the direct case its self..hope this helps

Sorry for the late reply, at 6ft you should look into something a little bigger. these rebels are incredible bikes, but for the most part people grow out of them real fast. A VLX 600 might be a better option for you hope this helps

Sorry for the late reply, if you get any seat kit for a bobber, chances are you'll need welding done for the posts, just google bobber seat attachment... plenty of forums out there to help:)). again, sorry for the late reply

jojo - Thanks for the comment, the fenders are relatively easy to take off, "blue collar bobbers" makes a kit for a rear fender,from there you could add a sissy bar to your discretion as well, the kits are a little pricey, but I have a friend who used one from blue collar and has had good results with it. repositioning the seat can be a bit of a chore in the whole ordeal, but it can be done;) The electronics you will probably have to cut to make the process easier (rear fender) cut them around 4-5 inches out from the end source, by which I mean 4-5 inches out from the tail light or stock blinkers /plate light, this will give you plenty to work with on the bike side and give you some extra wiring on the components side, that way you'll have some wire to work with if you re-use them or sell them to some one else. Make sure to label what wire goes where( I always just use a simple masking tape and write on the tape *right blinker* *stop* *L. Plate* so you don't get them confused, its not that you couldn't hook a light tester up to them, but it makes it that much easier;) "SOME!" After market blinkers ground them selves so you'll typically have a wire ("color of wire" could be anything depending who or what has worked on any bike out there, but usually green or blue, but don't take my word for it, you'll have to test in that situation) left over... I haven't installed a frisco on a rebel, I'm sure it would be it would be a little more friendly towards a Rebel than a shadow, rebels have top tubes as opposed to the shadow spirit which consists of a square bar. Most things can be accomplished with a bit of thinking a trial or two... Hope this all helps;)

Just Google pod filter, there's about a billion of them online, just take a set of calipers and measure your intake and get a pod filter slightly smaller so you can stretch it over your intake... hope that helps some.

Thanks, I'll be hooking it up.

C.R. - those actually came from Tandy leather. I don't know if they were a project of someone's or what but we got a killer deal on them, so we couldn't pass them up;) sorry that there not like a eBay kinda thing... Hope that helps

Sorry for the late reply (Holidays) never got a video of that, sorry

like an OEM tank? or a aftermarket tank that will fit a 250?

@@bannanapancake aftermarket...

@@shaneflaugher3565 - Most of the after market tanks that ARENT OEM won’t fit perfectly for a Honda 250, you sort of going to have to get them to fit with some fabrication. The one on this bike is a 3 gal. One off of eBay with some fabrication. A lot of people will stick with the Honda tank that it came with, they don’t have a bad look to them and they fit. A peanut tank would look great on a 250. Check out some of my other videos for installation IDEAS (only) on a process on how it “could” work for a 250. Hope this helps some

jpegster64 - whoa, definitely not supposed to be doing those things, smoke usually means coolant OR oil is getting into the wrong places. it's hard to tell without being there, but it could be bad piston rings? Head gasket? The fact is sounds like a sewing machine might have something to do with oil not getting to the cam shaft properly? Valves are probably out of adjustment? There's a number of things it could possibly be in your case. Best thing to do (having it sound so bad), is to have someone look at it for you, timing and specifications can be a bit tricky if you've never done it before, sorry I couldn't help more... hope it works out;)

ak47man71 kalash- they are a aftermarket set of tires on this bike yes, unfortunately I can't remember the exact tire size in this bike. And yes it is the stock factory rims;) hope this helps some..

That was fused together with a "charlotte" style U bend PVC pipe and some clamps, I'm sure you could screen shot the video at the right moment and zoom in on it to see how it was done, Home Depot would set you up that route i'm Pretty sure about that. Hope that helps some

I honestly wish that I knew, I tried asking the owner, but he couldn't remember the actual brand that he bought to put them on, all that I can tell you is that is its a 7/8's bar (obvious I know) sorry that I couldn't be more help, thanks for the view though!

Thats just a pipe from a plumbing store actually

Beautiful. That what I was hoping

Glad to help🙏🏽👍🏾

@@bannanapancake one more for ya, where’d you find black rear shocks?

@@austinwolfemusic8512 we had those powder coated, I’m sure if you look around? Bike barn might have some.

I'm pretty sure your correct if your talking about the rise...

yeah, these are a 7/8 bar, the only thing you have to do really is drill a hole or two for your control housings and you should be good:) hope this helps

bannanapancake Right on thank you!

Tristin King -- Man I wish I had an answer for you. I can't recall the brand of bars, there a mid-ape bar for sure. The tires aren't stock, can't recall the exact size of those either, usually have an answer, but cant recall the specifics on this bike( a lot of bikes been built) Apologies...

Sorry for the late reply, those were custom made.

It is, it's a 3 1/2 GAL. off of eBay. hope this helps

what are you having trouble with?

You know I'm not around this bike anymore, I couldn't tell you the exact size of these tires, but I do know that another 250 I've done has got a stock 750 ACE front tire on it, so you can range the size out there.. hope that helps some:)

No, the frame is a stock frame, thanks for the comment:)

Jacob Gnarly it's not the stock tank, if I remember right it's a 3 gallon after market tank you can find in eBay, it's an '06, hope this helps

No worries, thats fair. These (some of them) aren't built for comfort, more for cruising state street if you will. as far as mud, yeah it happens so do the occasional rock in the back...I just laugh when it happens, you should see my wife when it happens to her (she prefers fender-less) its all about fun and a style. definitely not for everyone... thanks for the comment.

对不起，她更喜欢女孩:)

thats pretty much exactly what it was:)

Thanks!
