These adjustable clutch and brake levers have been a game changer so far! I could tell the difference the first ride I went on with these installed. Definitely a must-have modification for your Rebel! Be sure to buy yours through this link to support the channel!- amzn.to/345lF2b

Bro...amazing timing on this video. Literally just ordered new brake and clutch levers for my Rebel 500. I’ll be watching this again this Sunday 👌🏼

Perfect timing on this video bro! Thank you so much, thank god I’ve got notifications on for your vids. I had my first drop today at 850 miles on my rebel and broke off my clutch lever 😂 Burch to the rescue! Ordered the same pair off your Amazon link. Thanks again for the perfectly timed video, homie!!

Hey Burch - nice levers! Also noticed your phone mount. Handlebar space is a little congested on the Rebel - what did you use?

Previous owner dropped bike and chipped off a bit of the OG clutch lever. Replaced it today using this video ! The only issue was the thing you screwed in at 3:18 to relieve tension was really hard to screw/unscrew. I still managed to get the clutch cable out & replace it with another lever but should that be screwed back out for tension or is it not that important ? Or as long as the cog wheel looking screw is tight I’m fine ?

@jasonshortphd 3 жыл бұрын

You should also verify the clutch cable still completely disengages the clutch. It’s easy for those to stretch out over time as well.

@YammieRalph 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, very important. Installed mine and almost shit myself when I popped it into first and the bike nearly took off with the clutch pulled in 😂

I have a question, would any clutch and break lever work when installing new ones? I was thinking of installing a vintage type of lever on my Honda rebel 500 but was unsure whether or not it would be compatible.

Hey Burch I installed these levers on my 2021 rebel and I’m not sure if I installed the clutch lever back properly because my friction zone on the clutch disengages earlier whereas the stock ones friction zone was close to the top.. Anything I did wrong?

@Zetherian 3 жыл бұрын

I personally had found that you just had to adjust the lever more with the adjustable wheel. Sorry I realize this is like 5 months late. Btw I have a 2020 honda rebel

I just bought these levers last week for my small hands! SO glad you included this video since I'm putting them on today :). Do I need to loosen the cable somewhere else on the bike? I saw a video somewhere that said I need to loosen the cable for the clutch down below before doing the part with the lever.

@LifeOfBurch 3 жыл бұрын

Perfect timing! Some people loosen the clutch cable where it attaches at the transmission on the right side of the bike (the part that sticks out near your leg), but I was able to finagle it by only loosening it at the lever!

I just installed the adjustable levers, indeed very easy. They work fine, but... (there is alwasy a but), they are not as tight as the original levers, as they have not one but two joints, they move vertically a couple of millimeters, I guess this is normal ?

@Zetherian 3 жыл бұрын

I had the same issue with the vertical wobbling, what I did was use a star or hex bit to tighten the screw on the lever and it helped a bit.

@LifeOfBurch 2 жыл бұрын

They’ll fit, but the cruise control won’t work because the 500 levers are missing the part that hits the sensor for cruise control. I haven’t tried personally, but someone on the Rebel 1100 Facebook group has.

The process is the exact same, but you’ll need to get the levers that are specific to the 2020 model! The brake levers are the same, but the clutch levers are slightly different since the 2020 has the slipper clutch.

Depends on your state. Some states have a special part that requires you to insert and then angle the hose down. You can usually ask the gas attendant for the trick. I was in another state last year and had to ask, it is embarrassing (but I lived).
