1985 Honda Rebel bobber: Rocky theRebel with cocktail shaker mufflers

[thomstone23]

gorgeous noise! bobbing my rebel this year. only a 125, no idea how im guna make it sound meaty but I'm guna try!

[MrLaefs]

Wow ! The sound is.....!

Where did you find this rear light ?

[iluvs2sk8]

sounds amazing



[gaspi82]

I have been searching for the best sounding exhaust system on Rebels for a while now. MACs and Jardine's have a high pitch tone to them, and the cut/baffles removed ones are just silly. This sounds great and I really like the double two-side long barrel looks. Thanks for posting!

[jwolske1234]

@gaspi82 no problem. at really high revs, the deepest tones went away. but it rode great just like this. i also DID NOT rejet the carb with these pipes and a velocity stack on the carb.

[gaspi82]

@jwolske1234 Well, I assumed it didn't stay deep and rumbly at high revs. Did the pipes turn blue/did you have overheating due to not rejetting? Maybe using a 15T front sprocket or 30T rear one can keep the revs low enough.

[jwolske1234]

@gaspi82 nope. never turned blue. i only kept the bike for about two months after finishing it though. sold it and build some other bikes. now i regret it. been trying to buy it back. never changed the sprockets either. oh well.

[gaspi82]

@jwolske1234 That's too bad. I saw the finished product. The white tones really looked nice, and so did the extra-sized tire. I found one other video with a cocktail shaker on a rebel: youtube.com/watch?v=PZLZMN8aDr­Y

Sounds similar, so I have to assume that it is the muffler and not something else.

Mine is pretty much stock. I have a video of my wife riding it. :) Maybe someday I'll get to it and do some mods.

[straitru]

Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,....wa­tching this got me !!!! I WANT A BOBBER

[jwolske1234]

@straitru do it.

[M0T0RMOUTH]

Oh, your bike's the one responsible for my iPhone's background picture?

[jwolske1234]

@M0T0RMOUTH hah. that awesome.

[nhfoos]

What is the rear tire? Brand and size? Looks like a Dunlop D404

[TheBassPlayer18]

Did you modify the motor, or is that beautiful sound the stock engine with shaker mufflers on it?

[sethweston4654]

nice work man... it sounds and looks good so far

[neonknight6]

That cocktail shaker sounds very good! I am thinking on to put one on my LS650 Savage.

[sanboone1]

your carbs are off and you need to idle it up just a tad ive got a 85 but i dont like the way people turn them into the bobber look of yours im running straight pipes and makes your sound like a moped lol

[HondaRebellion]

@sanboone1 Nice, sanboone1. Put up a video so we can hear your straight pipes.

[findvui]

Did you have to rejet? I am thinking of putting in a k&n and aftermarket exhaust..Thanks

[adoblayeva]

is this a 250?

[jwolske1234]

@josshgour77 Maxxis 150/90 15 White Wall. Not stock. The factory fender won't clear it .

[ieatzombies333]

[jwolske1234]

@ieatzombies333 nope. no more videos. thanks for the comment though.

[drop69me]

has any one did a vid on how to change a starter on a 250 rebel

[typicalstairway]

hey what size muffler so you have there,sounds fantastic

[pepperoninipple]

nice half cabs

[poon4]

I heard that you could add a kicker to the rebel using the kickstart shaft off a 200 Twinstar. Anybody know anything about that ?

[toledochoppers]

Sounds great

[RuthNoemi31]

Nice job in progress, where can I buy those bar?

[xdrumbum06]

@bearfootdaddy1 Drag bars are the most common name.

[bearfootdaddy1]

What do you call that style handle bars?

[spikonaleash]

i got a vtx 600 , i was wondering if the engine would fit on a rebel bobber frame not the stock chassis just the chassis they use for making rebel bobbers out of

[jlara0687]

hey man, whtas that spray you used at the beguining of the video? is it some sort of enhancement ?

[jlara0687]

kik ass man, hey if its not much to ask.. could you show a pic or a vid of the pipes... i already bought the whitewall tire for the front and back... looks good... i just have to get new rims... i just need some nice pipes. thanks

[jwolske1234]

Nope. Frame and swing arm are stock.

[tangoAlfa11]

@jwolske1234 Sweet Did you make the hardtail for this bike?

[jlara0687]

hey man... thatnks for the info.. i found some pipes that kind of match the sound as the ones there... did you extend the bike, as in bought another swingarm ?

[jwolske1234]

nope. don't have the name of the pipes. they're just MCM cocktail shaker mufflers. they do sound pretty great. yeah, its a 250.

[jlara0687]

$hit happens ... just wondering if you have the name or model for the pipes... sounds awesome... keep posting man.. nice ride... (btw... is that a 250?)

[jwolske1234]

thanks for the comments. i picked up those pipes on ebay. MCM is out of business, so you'll have to find them with luck on your side. Hope you do.

[jlara0687]

hey man, where did you get ahold of those mufflers ?

i have a cmx250 myself... just wondering where i can buy that pair.

[Garfield936]
