Thank you so much for this excellent video. No annoying BS from some idiot trying to sound cool and no irritating and distracting loud music - just straightforward, step by step explanation which is really useful. I really appreciated the thorough explanation of the under seat wiring harness feeding the rear lights. I've been chasing that for a while as I want to put in a buzzer to sound in synch with my indicators when they are switched on. So dangerous when they are inadvertently left on. By the way the spare space for a relay under the tank is for the accessories circuit. This relay is a feature of later models. It is a 7.5 amp circuit so can take a lot of load. There are male and female bullet connectors buries in the wiring loom under the speedo/instrument console. The bullet connectors are generally used to mount a USB port. In these later models the USB port won't work unless the appropriate relay is placed in that spare slot. The Honda USB port for the later models comes with the relay and there are many sellers online selling USB ports for the Rebel that come with that relay. Once again thanks so much for taking the time to make this very informative video.

@@kenhogan1433 You're welcome. Somewhere in one of my relay videos I made a note in the description box as it changed after my year model. I have sold this bike now but there's plenty of content for other mods you might consider. Thanks for watching 👍

The explanation for the wiring connection, which is which and which goes where, cant be better than this! Well done! Though I personally not a fan of Diablo fender kit. But everyone to their own.

You have awesome videos! I’ve watched several of them while customizing my 2023 Rebel 500. I’m running into a problem with the blinker relay though. Mine looks nothing like the ones in your videos. Have you happened to hear about a different relay for 2023? Thanks

Thank you. Yes there are two types of relay connections. In my history I have 2 relay videos. Somewhere around 22 or 23 they changed the shape. In the correct video that corresponds to your bike, I will have the link in the description for where you can buy it from webike Japan. 👍

when you added the rear blinkers and license plate brackets to the shock bolt did the shock dis engage or was it a simple slip on. Also, did you have to torque the shock bolt at all ?

@TweakedGSX

Жыл бұрын

It maybe had a half a cm of decompression which you will be able to manage by gently sitting on the seat whilst you put the indicator bracket on then putting the shock back on. I did the bolt up at 100nm max it doesn't need much. Just remember that you should re-check then after your first ride. I check everything on my bike once a month as I've undone many nuts and bolts. If you get paranoid about it you can put a very small drop of non permanent Loctite on the thread.

Do you need to remove the bolts from the passenger pegs and muffler to look at the wiring for the turn signals in the back and front. And does the license plate have to in that position can it be up and down.

You remove the bolts for the pegs because you don't have a need for them as there is no passenger once you install the shorty fender. The license plate can be mounted portrait style yes.

I'm confused as to why the flashing is off pace.. the OEM lights are LED so shouldn't the new LED's be similar speed? I thought problems only occurred when switching from standard light bulbs to LED..

It seems the relay is overly pedantic, even in this led to led swap situation, the current draw from the new led is more than factory and so it flashes fast. I've had this on about 5 different LEDs on the Rebel.

@@TweakedGSX alrightie. I'll keep this in mind.

Taking the license plate and mounting it on the side just makes the bike less aerodynamic. If it's on the fender it doesn't catch much air. Sticking out on the side just catches a lot of air negatively affecting both handling at high speed and gas mileage. Also it is asymmetric. It looks like a man with one ear. It's funny how when a fad starts, everyone has to jump on board whether it makes sense or not. It's just like fashion. Is it a good idea to rip holes in your jeans? Not really. But once it becomes a fad, everyone does it no matter how silly it is. Just like when it became a gangster fashion to wear one's pants down below their butt.

I don't think such a small square will affect handling or gas mileage to the point it's noticeable. The air going past you isn't perfectly flowing straight, it would've already been disrupted by your legs, handlebars etc it won't really make a difference of 5mpg and steering left by itself lol.
