Customized Motorcycle

Introducing the custom motorcycle that has been submitted to the Webike Community "MOTO HACK Custom Motorcycle Contest" campaign!

Meet the custom motorcycle of Hi-san who rides Rebel 250.

Motorcycle and self-introduction

[Self-introduction]

I've been riding for about 15 years. I got my motorcycle license in the first year of high school and have ridden several motorcycles, but I haven't ridden for about 15 years since I got married. I'm an old man rider who started out on a moped and returned to regular motorcycles on my fourth motorcycle.

I have ridden MBX50, Landy, New Tact, VF400F, Address V50, Address V125 (K7), NMAX125, Rebel 250S Edition.

[Motorcycle introduction]
This is the Rebel before it was delivered.


Here is the Rebel that I am currently customizing. I used to go riding on the mountain passes, but as I got older, things slowed down and I wanted a motorcycle that was calm and picturesque, so I bought the Rebel 250S Edition.

Customization of the particulars

[Directionality]
It's fun to drive, but I also customize it for convenience.

[Points that I think are cool]
I love the black silhouette so much.

[Points of change in performance]
I've only just started riding, so I'm still a little rusty, but the top case has greatly improved the load capacity and covered the biggest drawback of the Rebel.

Custom Points

Introduction of the parts and parts that are customized (1)
Brand: DAYTONA
Item Name: VELONA Tacho Meter Kit (17252)

The first thing I did was to install a tachometer so I could see the RPMs. The tachometer is designed for the Rebel! The tachometer was very useful during break-in.

Introduction of the parts and parts that are customized (2)

Brand: ENDURANCE
Product Name: Rear Carriers for Rebel (EJ800REBA1)

Brand: SHAD
Item Name: Top Case (SH40 CARGO)

The Rebel doesn't even have room to properly store the registration card = inconvenience! So I had to make room for it. I also use it to commute to work, so it's handy to be able to store my bag and lock it.

Introduction of the parts and parts that are customized (3)

Brand: DAYTONA
Item Name: Seat cover set (17225)

I don't like the seat color of the S edition and the Rebel makes my butt hurt, so I changed the color with a seat cover to improve the ride. I put some low resilience cushioning material between the cover and the seat to improve the ride. It varies from person to person, but I was able to drive for about 2 hours straight.

Introduction of the parts and parts that are customized (4)

Brand DAYTONA
Item Name: 40B Handle Inner Weight 145(15421)

My back is more than my hips...it's hard to bear with back pain. I still felt that the throttle was too far away and I wanted it a little further forward, so I decided to change the handlebars. The improved riding posture reduced the burden on my lower back.

Introduction of the parts and parts that are customized (5)

Brand: CHIC DESIGN
Item Name: GUYRA Gauntlet (GG29)/2)

In October, I felt the cold from my fingertips when I was driving, a feeling I hadn't experienced in a long time since I had knuckle guards on my NMAX and Address. It was a little bit expensive, but I installed a special knuckle guard for Rebel because of the danger of stepping stones on the highway.

Introduction of the parts and parts that are customized (6)

Brand: DAYTONA, KAEDEAR, Mitsuba Sankowa
Product name: Smart USB Power Supply, Quick Hold, ETC

I installed the ETC in front of the meter and fixed the plate of Kijima and installed the main body in the space under the seat.

Customization that I want to do in the future


Replacement of front sprocket (change the number of teeth)
Brand: KITACO
Product name: Drive sprocket for front (530-1818015)

It doesn't feel right at intersections. I haven't decided yet whether to increase the number of teeth on the front side from 14 to 15 or decrease the number of teeth on the rear side. I haven't decided yet whether to increase the number of teeth on the front side from 14 to 15 or decrease the number of teeth on the rear side, but I'm going to try to improve the gears.
