I was looking for some accessories and noticed that Honda finally added the genuine accessories page for the new Rebel with prices.

2017 Rebel 500 Accessories - Honda Genuine Accessories - Honda Powersports

Nice to see that the visor isn't $300, as previously reported... still might hold out and see what the aftermarket brings, though.

 

[chaseyracer]

Yeah, I'm going to need to go aftermarket I think...

I want that looooooong cafe racer style seat.

I did order their version of a passenger seat for now, though.

installed the passenger seat the other night and it looks pretty good... pegs were a pain to install but all in all, I'm happy with it.

You can mod one youself. But it will require that back bar to be cut off and a lower frame to be attached, and the seat high would have to be raised.
The current seat height is pretty even with the rear tire so you won't be getting a straight seat without cutting the bike apart.

... Yeah, I don't trust myself enough to do that on my own..

$300 for the rear carrier?!?! I actually like the look of the visor but I don't know if I'm willing to pay $230 for that tiny thing..

 

[shortyg83]

Im sure in a few months another company will make a visor that is under 100 bucks... Hopefully at least.

The rear carrier is the craziest thing i have seen. I am pretty sure there are already aftermarket ones you could easily make fit the bike.

You can already get aftermarket bags that come with mounting brackets from Viking SaddleBags.

Mine are on the way. I'll snap some pics after I install them.

Is anybody running the wind visor? I'm curious to know if it does anything to deflect wind and bugs. I get a lot of both around here!

Rebold does...

Would do very little deflection - purely cosmetic.

 

[Rebold]

Yes, I've got the wind visor, and it's tiny, like 01-7700 said, primarily cosmetic. For wind and bugs I say full face helmet. I am going to try to mount my nav on the visors brackets just behind the screen, which would give it an extra function.

So no difference between it being on or off? I like it, but for the money I like other parts too. If it did anything at all, I might be convinced...

 

[01-7700]

As Rebold said, the helmet is the best defense. To get any protection from a windshield and make a comfortable ride you need a full fairing. Just a windshield causes a lot of turbulence between your body and the shield. The bigger bugs can still hit you in the face if your field of vision is just over the top of the windshield. I never got used to riding a bike looking "through" a windshield, always over the top, which is why I don't use a windshield.

The shadow from the luggage looks like an alien.

the visor is more than $300 in Canada. In fact, most the aessories are between $300 and $400 in Canada. I would like the visor, but it'll be for looks only, and I want it shaded not clear. lol. I'll wait.
