I Made My Rebel My DREAM COLOR!!! (OEM Tank & Rear Fender Swap)

Say goodbye to my gloss black gas tank and rear fender! When I bought this bike I planned on swapping the color out to a certain OEM color that I fell in love with ever since the first time I laid eyes on it, and today I was able to make that dream a reality! Swapping out your gas tank and rear fender for OEM pieces is a great way to get the color change you want while still keep that factory Honda quality. Plus, it's easier than most people would think! That's why I decided to walk you through a step-by-step process of exactly how to do it yourself!
This process can be helpful in lots of ways aside from just swapping the color on your Honda Rebel though. If you've dropped your bike previously and the tank got dented, this is the same process to remove and replace a dented tank on your Rebel. If you had something strapped to your rear fender that ended up denting it or scuffing it, this is the same process to remove and replace the rear fender on your Rebel. If you're planning to replace the stock brake light with something that looks better, this is the same process to remove your rear fender in order to get access to your brake light wires so you can replace your Rebel's brake light. And of course, if you just want to spice things up by removing your gas tank and rear fender to replace them with new pieces, or even to paint them, then this is your one stop shop to learn how to do so!
I've never had to do this before, and it still would've only taken me a couple hours from start to finish if I hadn't been filming the whole process. This is something that is easier to do than most might expect, so hopefully this video gives you the confidence you need to tackle the project yourself!

Every wrap shop that I talked to either said they straight up wouldn’t do it or that for the amount they’d have to charge, I’d be better off having it painted. The lines/curves on cruiser tanks are super tight and hard to wrap without bubbles, creases, or imperfections. The only people who I’ve seen successfully wrap a Rebel tank have had to do it in more than one piece to make it work. After selling my stock tank and fender, I really only paid like $150 for a brand new OEM paint job essentially.

If I do decide to black them out it won’t be until I have enough money to also swap out the fork internals to something stiffer, that way I can just get it all done at once while the forks are off.

@LifeOfBurch
@LifeOfBurch 4 жыл бұрын
Nice man! I’m glad you’re digging the channel. Based off your Ravens picture I’m guessing you may be local, so we should ride once you get your Rebel! I didn’t wrap or paint my tank because at the end of the day it was cheaper and easier to just swap it out. That may not be the case for you since you want a color that wasn’t offered from the factory, but I fell in LOVE with this orange color the second I saw it. If I were to get it wrapped or painted it would’ve been a similar orange anyway. So here was my thought process- I went to a wrap shop when I had my Rebel 300 and asked about having the tank wrapped orange. They said it would be $250-$400 depending on how long it took because of how tricky it would be to do. They said because the tank is so small it would be hard to get the wrap to lay cleanly without taking their time around all the curves and edges. Well for that price I could probably just have a body shop paint it for me and obviously look better than wrap, but then I have to worry about removing the tank and being without a tank or bike while they paint it, then hoping it turns out a decent quality, and all that good stuff. The route that I went, I was only without a bike for a couple hours while I swapped everything over, I knew it would be good paint quality coming straight from Honda, and it was way cheaper than the other options. Sure, I had to pay $485 up front for the tank and fender, but assuming I sell them both for $300, then I’ve only paid $185 for a brand new tank and fender in the exact color scheme I wanted. That’s my reasoning anyway. Hope that helps!

Abdullah Harith Fakhri bin Basiron I’m not sure what all needs to be done, but I do know that they’re not direct plug and play. I’d assume you need flasher relays since they’re LED, but can’t say for certain. Personally, I’d just get aftermarket LED signals since you can probably find better looking ones for cheaper and the same work would be involved. If you aren’t already on the Facebook group called “Honda Rebel 300 & 500” I’d definitely recommend checking it out. I think at least one person has put the new turn signals on their bike, so it may be worth searching on there. Hope that helps!

Between the VFR and Rebel? It’s hard to say since they’re totally different bikes. Honestly I have more fun on the Rebel since it’s so light and easy to throw around, plus I’m less worried if anything happens to it since parts are so readily available unlike the VFR. The VFR on the other hand just feels like so much more of a beast! It feels more like a machine than a toy if that makes sense. It’s heavier, but also more powerful obviously so it’s nice being able to ride with my wife and not even notice her on there really. It just stresses me out riding it sometimes because it’s so old that I almost want to keep it in a glass box so that nothing happens to it 😂

I’m looking at buying a rebel 500 but I love the touring fairing fairing that is sold as an extra for the rebel1100 . Does anyone know if it will fit On a 500 ?

I’m sure you could make it work, but it would take some fabricating since the bracket wouldn’t be a direct fit. I’d imagine you’d need to have an entire new bracket made. But with that said, the bracket is like $300-350 so I’m sure having one made couldn’t be a crazy amount more.

So, question. Was it cheaper to buy the parts or if you plasti-dipped your current fender/tank?
@LifeOfBurch
@LifeOfBurch 4 жыл бұрын
Plastidip would’ve been cheaper since it’s only $10-15 per can, but it would’ve looked much worse and you’d need to be careful about dripping gas on it when fueling up. Replacing the tank and fenders ends up being cheaper than vinyl wrap or getting the painted though. As long as your stock parts are in good enough condition to resell.

I bought the tank brand new, already painted this color from Honda! This color was only offered on the 2019 models. I ordered it from TMSparts.com, which is where I’ve got all my stock parts from. Cheapest prices I’ve found and they have great customer service! They have every stock color available, you just have to make sure when entering your bike on their site to look up parts, you enter whichever year had the color you’re interested in.

@@djlancer88 it definitely ends up being cheaper to buy new and sell the old! I paid like $400 after shipping for the new tank and sold the old for $250 so I essentially only paid $150 for a new OEM paint job. Just make sure that you know the tank for 300 and 500 are different because of the fuel pump mounting points, so if you have a 500 only a 500 tank will fit. White was only offered for the 300 in 2017, so if you have a 500 and want to do white you’ll have to wait until that site gets the new white tank they’re offering on the 2021 500. Hope that helps!

So mine was a 2017 with a 2019 tank on it. I just looked into it and I’m 99.999999999% sure ALL Rebel 500 tanks are interchangeable, regardless of whether it’s the ‘17-‘19 styling or ‘20-‘21 styling. The matte black tank is the same exact part number in 2019 as it is in 2021, so there’s no reason that all the other tanks wouldn’t work also. Just make sure if you have a 300 you only get a 300 tank, and if you have a 500 you only get a 500 tank.

@LifeOfBurch
@LifeOfBurch 3 жыл бұрын
Old tank and fender are gone, sorry! Any year will fit and a/ac/aac shouldn’t matter, all that matters is that a 500 tank will only fit a 500 and a 300 tank will only fit a 300. The fuel pump hole/attachment is different on the 300 vs 500. My bike is a 2017 with a 2019 tank and they’re identical, so you’d be good with any year’s gloss black setup. Check out TMSparts.com and just enter whichever year has the color you want. That’s where I got my stuff because it was the cheapest site I found. Great customer service too. Just make sure you see that their free shipping doesn’t apply to a tank/fender because it’s oversized. They ended up needing an extra $50 or so for shipping, but that’s to be expected anywhere. Hope that helps brotha!
