Well done, mate. I can appreciate anyone who gets their hands dirty and does it themselves.

i want that back tire so bad lol

@bikercc

Hey mate...that Tyre is actually a painted Whitewall. Used the genuine rubberised Whitewall Tyre Paint bought off ebay and prepared the tyre really well before applying the paint, then left it to dry off the bike for about a good week and a half before applying pressure to the sidewall. Rone

Awesome! I rated all related videos (Honda Rebel 250 'Bobber' Project_Part 1...n) 5 stars! Can you suggest a different simple mechanical upgrade/mod for my Honda Rebel 2006?

Less than $300?! Wow..... Thats inspiring, I'm jsut starting to ride, and this looks and sounds GREAT!

Hey man,

Big fan of what you have done with the Rebel. I am currently woorking on bobbing and old Kawasaki kz250. Where did you get your aftermarket spares from? I'm in Vic too so any tips would be much appreciated.

If I had one criticism of your vids it would probably be that I wish they were longer so I could be more nosy!

Hey, I've been checking out the progress of your bobber on some of the Rebel forums. Did you have to rejet the carb when you replaced the exhaust? thanks man.

[liljeff666]

damn thats sick.. is that the stock exhaust on there? if so how did you make it sound like that? i just got a 2001 rebel and am looking to make it into a bobber just like this about how much does it cost? thanks hit me back

mate i just watched all the build. I LOVE IT!!!!! where did u get the spring seat and numberplate panel from?? cheers chris!

[raz628]

awesome,i love it ! where did you get the white wall?

[Dims3]

looks good, thanks for doing the video it helps alot for everyone else thinking of doing a little bobbing. i'm about to start on my 85 soon... on that pod filter, did you have to up your jets? want to gut that area of the bike too.

[Roneagogo]

Thanks man, much appreciated. Yeah, for some reason I thought it would be fun to document the build and share it. After all, I got a few tips from other builds myself.

As for the carby's, I haven't adjusted the jets as yet but I dare say they will maybe need modifying. It's probably running to lean now. I'm also thinking of moving the battery to just underneath the Pod Filter area too.

G'day, Leah was telling me today about the bobber. It looks great!! Can hardly believe it started out as a Rebel (at least the name is more appropriate now). Looks like you've done a bit to Les' old CX too. You'll just have to do something about that PT cruiser. Tim

[Roneagogo]

Hey there Tim?, call me stupid....but Tim who? So you know Les & Leah?

Thanks for the comments. Got the guards finished now so as soon as I paint them I'll throw another short video on here.

G'day Rone, I work with Leah (lucky me??). She was telling me how cool the bobber was and said you'd done some youtube stuff on it so I had a look. It's an amazing transformation, huge improvement over the original. It's got me thinking about what I can do with my old XR600 hehe (obviously can't make a bobber out of it!!). What are the plans for the CX? Keeping it as a cafe racer?

[Roneagogo]

Hey Tim....sorry that you work with Leah (hahahaha), nah she's a great chick really.

Yeah, keeping the CX as a Cafe, got a few more things to do to it like, making a custom Speedo and Tacho housing to place an original set from my spare CX I bought (it's an '80 model). Going to get some chrome/metal buckets spun/fabricated because it still has this small aftermarket speedo at the moment. Maybe make some custom side covers, not too sure yet. Was thinking about building another Cafe of the '80
