Another excellent video Gustav! You should be a teacher! You have a gift for it, and also your videos are the best! Of course you would most likely have to take a cut in pay to be a teacher. You are the man thank you so much for taking time to show the rest of us the easy way to do things, without having to fumble and bumble our way through it, making all kinds of stupid mistakes along the way!
Perfect timing. I was trying to think about how I wanted to store the bike for winter (Wisconsin, USA) and this was in my recommended feed. Ordered! I appreciate you taking the time to make the videos, very helpful!
Hi Arvin! Yes sir, this won't work with the stock exhaust, but I was able to make it work when I had my stock exhaust by using small pieces of wood under the lifting arms. But it's not recommended
@@ontherebel11 Do you know of any modifications to the sliders on your paddock stand that would enable it to be used with the stock exhaust or is it better to simply remove the slip-on muffler in any case?
Hi ray, I used to tape 2x4 pieces of wood to the lifting arms to clear the exhaust. In order to get the right leverage, I have to roll the rear wheel on a 2x4 piece of wood as well.... In my chain adjustment video, you'll be able to see the 2x4 under the swingarm. I wouldn't recommend doing it that way as it is dangerous.
Thank you Bobby, i regret not mentioning that in the video, i took it for granted that people already knew from previous discussions, newbie mistake...
Thanks for the tip yesterday and I've ordered the snap jack. Also interested in your jack from this video. Do you mind sharing the link to get this one too please. Thanks
Anytime Dan!! Here are the stands that i am using in the video: Harbor freight swingarm stand: www.harborfreight.com/motorcycle-swingarm-rear-stand-65620.html Vortex forklift stand: www.jpcycles.com/product/100-2280/vortex-front-lift-stand?PLA-Vortex-Products&:pla-939134401340_c__100-2280_Cj0KCQjw0PWRBhDKARIsAPKHFGh6ySWdU_2CyDXjPU-2t9zmBB34gRe9yawi5HrNuSsybsqdcvYJ2FIaAu9NEALw_wcB&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0PWRBhDKARIsAPKHFGh6ySWdU_2CyDXjPU-2t9zmBB34gRe9yawi5HrNuSsybsqdcvYJ2FIaAu9NEALw_wcB
Depends how tight you are with cash...i.e.;fit R&G bobbins through the rear axle, have fitting on the stand to fit said bobbins, easy lift...for whole bike lift... buy one of the small table type scissors lifts that goes up with a airgun/ratchet get an engineer to bore a piece of billet aluminium the same diameter as the bottom frame rail,cut it in half, fix to scissor lift...whole rear end can then be removed anytime!
Would it be a good idea to put duct tape or some kind of soft durable material in the braces of the stand that come in contact with the frame of the bike to prevent damaging the paint? Thank you, and hello from Maryland, USA! 🏍️💨 👍🏾
Thank you for reminding me! Yes putting some sort of protection is in your interest, as over time the coating does start to come off! Much love for VA! 🤙
Thank you Andrew! Unfortunately i didn't measure it before and after, i just did it by eye.... i'll try to get a measurement when i get a chance and will let you know!
Hey Gus! I commented on another video. I was able to find one at a further out harbor freight. They didn’t have them ANYWHERE else. I guess I got lucky because this was the last one they had! It didn’t come with the side holder, like where it would hold the bike. Did yours come with that? Or do I need to buy that separately?
@@Soldier-In-Hell I returned the first one since it was missing the lifting arms 🤣🤣🤣, but had called all the stores around me to find one that had a complete one in stock 😅
Thank you!!! I'm so glad you found it helpful! The backrest is the Honda OEM one, i personally like the look better than the tall sissy bars. I changed the color at a local shop to match my brown seat.
@@ontherebel11 Look into the Miller exhaust with the billet end cap. I don’t know if you can get it in America. It’s made in Germany. I have the Cobra Exhaust and I’m very pleased with it.
@user-ip4lt8ll8d the only one that has caught my eye is the freedom performance combat exhaust..... I wish they would finally make a slip on for the rebel.
Hi Kevin! Yes T rex has a center stand available and a few members in the facebook group have installed them, i believe hat T rex redesigned them as some people were having difficulties raising on the bike.
Hi Ron, great to hear from you brother! What worked for me with the stock exhaust is to tape 2 pucks of 2x4s like the one I placed under the side stand, on the lifting arms of the stand to give me the clearance I needed. To make lifting the bike easier, I rolled the rear wheel on top of a 3 foot long 2x4. It's a little tricky, but definitely got the job done for a 1/5 of the cost of a pit bull stand.
Hi Kent, i'm sorry to hear that bro, i haven't personally tried a different budget friendly stand, but i have tried the pit bull on a friend's bike and it is awesome!! I have heard of others getting stands from amazon that have worked. Just be mindful of the stock exhuast brother, it won't work with any stand other than pit bull.
Yes sir, The rear stand doesn't work with the standard exhaust as it is, however i have made it work in the past before i got my current exhaust by adding a small 2x4 piece of wood under the lifting arms.
Oh no.... They are very popular and always in high demand... I would recommend calling all the stores in your area to see if they have them, the website isn't always accurate.
@@ontherebel11 amazing luck! Went to a local HF few miles away and they had an open box one! Grabbed it for 35.99! Since it was a return but no box! I lucked out🤘🙌
Hi Ben! Yes sir, this is still my setup and will not be changing it anytime soon! I'd rather use the money that a pit bull stand will cost on other goodies 🤣🤣
Oh man.... If you have ratcheting straps and something strong above the bike to hook them to, it could work, I've used ladders in the past. Look it up on RUclips, I'm sure someone has documented it. It works in a pinch. Wish you were closer brother....
I'm sorry about that brother, i should have mentioned that it doesn't work with the stock exhaust without a little modification.... if you plan on changing the exhaust it's worth keeping.
Hi Bruce! My exhaust is custom made brother..... I would recommend the two brothers racing exhaust, that's the best sounding one, they make a low mount. Another option is Coffman, or even the gp shorty.
Hi John, I use to put a piece of 2x4 under each side of the swingarm and roll the rear wheel over another piece of 2 x4. Not recommended for safety, but doable

Thank you for all of your content regarding the Rebel 1100. Your videos have helped me a lot.
You are welcome Michael, I am so glad you find them helpful 🤙
Thanks for sharing this. Important thing to remember as you mentioned is the type of exhaust you have as this will not work with the stock exhaust.

Omg idk why i never thought of just bending it. I had this for my previous bike. Dear god.
Oh man, I hope you still have it, they are hard to come by these days...
thanks for this videos! they are incredible and they are helping me with my motorbike
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for your kind comment 🙏
Another great video I really needed. Thank u!
Thank you Simon! 🙏 I'm glad you found it helpful brother!
Subscribed. Excellent video. Thank you very much for this. You make it look easy.
Hi Michael! Thank you for your encouragement brother!! FYI, i still use them often and they still work just like day 1! 👍
Just a heads up. The rear stand won't work with the stock exhaust. The adjustment knob digs into the exhaust pipe.
Thank you Bobby, i regret not mentioning that in the video, i took it for granted that people already knew from previous discussions, newbie mistake...
So how do you work around that?
toujours efficace notre ami.de très bons conseils.merci!
Je vous en prie Christian! 🙏
Excellent demo and instructions.
Thank you Amer! 🙏
Muchas gracias, como siempre, por este magnífico trabajo.
Lógicamente el trasero no me servirá porque llevo el escape original.

excellent tips as usual
Thank you TK!!! 🙏
excellent demonstration,, as usual 👍🌹
Thank you brother Hassan!
@@ontherebel11 you are most welcome my friend
Very helpful video. After you bent the stand what was the measurement between the two arms?

18 inches on the upright supports that I placed my foot on (inside measurement)

That's exactly what I did, and had to go to another town to get the missing lifting arms.... 😅
@@ontherebel11 you got the lifting arms from another harbor freight? hahaha. I wonder if i can find some online on amazon or something.

Interesting

Hi Kevin! Yes T rex has a center stand available and a few members in the facebook group have installed them, i believe hat T rex redesigned them as some people were having difficulties raising on the bike.
Excellent instruction, as always. I also have a Harbor Freight rear stand but it won't work with my stock muffler. Got any suggestions?

I have the original muffler and the stand touches the muffler before it can reach the good emplacement. ..😢
Hi There, yes it does not work with the original muffler without some modifications....
I don’t think Harbor Freight has that stand available. Any ideas on another brand that’s good?

It doesn’t work with the standard exhaust fitted, which he did mention.
Yes sir, The rear stand doesn't work with the standard exhaust as it is, however i have made it work in the past before i got my current exhaust by adding a small 2x4 piece of wood under the lifting arms.
Anytime I go to HF website, they no longer sell this rear stand :(

Wow! Congratulations E! I'm using mine right now for an install 🤣🤣
Stand doesn't appear to be available anymore.
Sorry about that, some have been able to find it locally in stores....
Would you still recommend these stands today versus a year ago? Anything new you would recommend?
Hi Ben! Yes sir, this is still my setup and will not be changing it anytime soon! I'd rather use the money that a pit bull stand will cost on other goodies 🤣🤣
@On the Rebel 11 sadly that Harbor Freight stand is OOS everywhere near me, and I need to get the front wheel off

Very nice video. Explained it perfectly. Thank you. God bless, ride safe.
I'm glad the video was helpful brother, thank you for your kind feedback!!
I failed to realize that this stand will not work with the stock exhaust on 😭
I'm sorry about that brother, i should have mentioned that it doesn't work with the stock exhaust without a little modification.... if you plan on changing the exhaust it's worth keeping.
hi i got the same stand but my muffler in the way where can i buy exhaust like your bike ?
Hi Bruce! My exhaust is custom made brother..... I would recommend the two brothers racing exhaust, that's the best sounding one, they make a low mount. Another option is Coffman, or even the gp shorty.
What to do with the rear if you have a stock muffler?
Hi John, I use to put a piece of 2x4 under each side of the swingarm and roll the rear wheel over another piece of 2 x4. Not recommended for safety, but doable
What MPG does that bad boy get?
Hi Jmac! Depending on riding style, I'd say mid 40s, some have reported doing 170 miles on 1 tank.
40 to 45 mph on my DCT
Hi brother what are the chances of it tipping over with both the stands ?
Hi there brother! It is rock solid! You have to push with great force from the side for the bike to fall!
@@ontherebel11 Thank you! That's very helpful, also your exhaust is awesome! You need a video on it
