FINALLY! A Rebel 1100 Top Speed Limiter DELETE!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2022
- Ever since the Honda Rebel 1100 was released, one of the biggest complaints about it has been the pesky 100mph top speed limiter. NOT ANYMORE!
I set out to find a way to remove the top speed governor on the Rebel 1100, went down a rabbit-hole on the internet, and somewhere along the way discovered the HealTech SpeedoHealer TSD. HealTech had the normal SpeedoHealer listed as compatible with the new Rebel 1100, but not the TSD version, which is what they make to derestrict the top speed of bikes. When I reached out to them, they said that they knew the SpeedoHealer worked, but they hadn't been able to test out the Top Speed Derestriction version yet. Sooo as always, I decided to be the guinea pig.
And man am I glad that I decided to do that! Cause it WORKED! As far as I know, I'm the first person to figure out how to delete the top speed restrictor on the Honda Rebel 1100! And the best part? It's plug-n-play AND only $110!!
So what're you waiting for? Install a SpeedoHealer SH-V4-TSD on your Rebel 1100 and stop letting Honda tell you how fast you can ride! hahah
When buying your kit, REMEMBER!!-
-MANUAL Rebel 1100's will need a SpeedoHealer SH-V4-TSD with an SH-H05 harness.
DCT Rebel 1100's, according to HealTech, will need a SpeedoHealer SH-V4 TSD with an SH-H05 harness, BUT I believe they may actually need the SH-U01 universal harness that DCT Africa Twins use.

UPDATE- This seems to work better if you set the speed threshold to 95. I think 98 was too close to the stock cutoff, and that’s why it seemed to not work that one time. Since lowering the threshold to 95 everything has been smooth sailing 👌🏻🤘🏻
Thanks for the update, was wondering how that worked out, haven't gotten around to installing mine yet but soon
I live in the UK, my Rebel 1100 manual is governed to 110mph, it will not rev above 6000rpm in top gear. I have run it on a private road flat out without a screen and a with a Puig generic screen fitted. I have never encountered any issues with the front end or handling wise in general at the top end, or any or any speed getting there. Thinking of getting the ecu flashed sometime this year, just to let the engine breath better ;-)
@@richardbarlow9361as another RUclipsr found out it's the phone mounted on the handle bar that does the wobble not the bike.
think you can push it further if you get rid of the rpm limiter too.
The fact that you could probably get this bike up to 120+ with the proper mods is just amazing. Keep doing you Burch you’re killin it.
Thanks dude!! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the full potential of these bikes! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@LifeOfBurch longer second drive ratio?
Not really. My 650cc 2004 Bandit with carbs and air cooling easily does 120, and with a sprocket change it could go faster.
@@martymcfly1776 my 750 Magna does 130 I don't see why the Rebel 1100 that makes the same power, better torque, and weighs less couldn't do that either.
@@fastec5 Exactly. We used to fear 1100 cc motorcycles. It's ridiculous to think that 100 mph is a reasonable top speed for such a motorcycle.
Absolutely understood. It wasn't you that tested this and became an outlaw. Whoever the brave soul that stole your bike and returned it after, thank him for us!

THAT is content you can't get anywhere else. Good job dude! Thanks to the stranger for being willing to take one for the team! lol
Yea that stranger was such a big help! I only wish I got his name to thank him! 🤔😂😂😂
@@LifeOfBurchI know who the stranger is but we’ll keep it hush for now😂 props for keeping the wobbles tame though
I’d like to thank the stranger who rode the bike in your place. Our hero 👍🏼
He truly sacrificed himself for us 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is legit the first and only video on youtube of a limitless Rebel 1100
A true rebel this one 😎🤘
You have a great relationship with your test pilot because you two are able to understand one another perfectly. 👍🏍️😅
Great sponsor read! Very fluid and fit into the video smoothly, I'm sure there will be more to come. Keep going man!
great stuff brother, picking up my 1100 this week, ordered my limiter delete before I got the bike, lol, keep it coming!
That's really cool, man. You might want to tell that random guy to go to a track, though. A lot can wrong on a freeway.
Was working when i got your video notification. Had to be patient and wait until I got home.
You never disappoint 👍Great info
Ayyy glad to hear it was worth the wait! Glad you liked it! 😎🤘🏻
Hell yeah!!! Keep the content rolling cause I’m here for it!! 😎
Every video is better and better. Keep em coming!
Thank you! That's awesome super glad you are enjoying the contest! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Inbox quickly to claim prize...
Great video mike. As always
Solid install and very informative. Well done.
Thanks dude!! I appreciate ya! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yooooo the SpeedoHealer v4 TSD!
I've been preaching about this for a while! Thank you for explaining how it works btw.
Absolutely dude! I had to get my teacher game on to try making it as understandable as possible! I’ve had the suspicion that this would work for quite some time, and finally felt confident enough to order it a couple weeks ago 🙌🏻
Love your stuff! Got me seriously thinking of swithcing over from my sports bike 😮
Interesting, but in my case I bought the bike to stay under 100. My previous bike just needed 100 to get use of the third gear. Now I feel much more civilized and I really appreciate low speed but immediate response. Anyway, continue your experiments … good fun!
I'm the same just got rid of my R1 as I was speeding a lot this to me seems such a lovely bike and good that I can't go past 100 lol
Great video as always! Love all the Rebel 1100 vids!
Thanks dude!! 😎🤘🏻
My new fave bike channel just found it !
I'm super late to the party haha But if you go with the PC6, check out the DNA Highflow air cleaner. I have the DCT, so I may be your guinea pig for this wire set up! As for the wobbles, I've thought about modding a dampener, but need more research in to it. Keep it up man! Love the vids, and be safe
This is fkn AWESOME!! You’re the man!
Looked like the tach kept reading and moving up to redline too which is nice to see. Wonder if it works on the DCT 🧐
Thanks bro!! Yup, the tach keeps creeping up even when the speedo freezes! I’m definitely looking forward to someone testing this on a DCT model 👀
@@LifeOfBurchdo you know if anybody has? I want to do it to mine if possible
11:14 such a freaking coincidence :D great video as always! :)
Well done, I just installed the healer! 112mph, no wobble, I am big boy, 255 lb, wonderful
Set at 95 , gps speed check….
I suspect a larger fork mounted fairing might actually make the front end wobble worse as it provides more air resistance.
However trying it out is the only sure way to find out, just take your time above 90 to see when or if the wobble starts.
I hope it works out for you.
So tired of the wiggle / wobble
have you considered pairing it with a Dyna Jet Power commander? The Rebel 1100's run lean from the factory. they have preset tunes for factory intake and exhaust, aswell as factory intake and Slip on exhausts like your TBR. It plays a similar game of confusing the ECU to dispense more fuel.
Late but I made it lol, have been looking forward to this since you talked to me about it a few months ago. Glad I don't have to be silent about it anymore lol
Appreciate the video, my takeaway from it is its probably not worth it to get an extra (up to) 10mph when the bike clearly doesn't want to go over 80 to begin with
But I am looking forward to seeing it with the steering stabilizer
@@chrism6880 That’s a suspension tuning problem 100%. Due to Burch’s light weight and his Burly Stilettos in the rear, he likely needs to retune the front end (forks) springs and oil to the proper preload and damping for his weight and ride style. Steering dampers are cool, but a bit of a bandage fix.
@@BrandonWest87 good to know. I've probably got an extra 60lbs on him, so maybe I won't have as much of an issue. I know I've gotten up to 80 without any instability
@@chrism6880 it definitely plays a part in suspension behavior!
@@chrism6880 meant to add, check out Dave Moss Tuning’s channel. A TON of ergo and suspension geometry lessons there.
"We all know one of thoses guys..."
LOL I'm probably one of those guys, I hate that stupid Karen-speed governor.
Dang now I wish I could redo that part to say, “We all know one of those guys, and if you don’t…it’s probably you!” 😂😂😂
You are not kidding about the front end shaking, It scared the crap out of me. Another car invaded my lane so I hit the throttle to pass, I didn't realize how fast I was going. For a second there I really thought a nasty wabble or tank slapper was happening, I had to pull over to pull myself together.
Loves your shit. I got this bike because of you and thank you for all the fun and everything
Hell yea dude!! SO stoked to have helped you end up with such a rad bike! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just curious sir , this will affect your odometer correct? I mean not that it matters if your planning on keeping the bike. I noticed as your was adjusting your speed for the 98mph the odometer was going up.
99.9% certain it is the tires causing the issue. My 2023 BMW S1000R had Battleax S22's as the factory tire, but they are a sub-standard version since they are cheaper. Anyway, I would get the same wobble between 95-105mph, same as you. Changed to Road 6 and not a single issue since. I couldve gone aftermarket S22's and it wouldve been better as well. Dealer tires are a cheap sub-quality of the actual aftermarket version. Similar to Marlboro and Winston. One is a "quality" cigarette and the other a version where they swept tobacco off the floor
As you had in one ☝🏻 of your earlier videos, I’m guessing the phone mount even tho it’s close to center along with the fatter front tire, are enough to cause those speed wobbles.
Thanks for the vid! Can’t wait to get
My hands on on of those speed 🚫
And play around a bit.
The shake is coming from uneven wing drag in the handlebars. (Your one mirror and phone mount)
I'm 100% positive
I get the same shake most times over 90mph bone stock front end. I think it has more to do with the wide front tire than anything.
Motorcycle squids will ALWAYS find a way to be squids
I really need to stop watching these I’m planning on buying either a rebel 500 or 1100 next year since if I get it now I only have about 3 months until snow and these vids are making me want it so bad 😂
time to move! 🤣
Epic. Nicely done, Burch. (Hat's off to your anonymous partner, too...) :)
Nice work, brother.
Great video Burch !!! 🤙🏽
I have the dct and never noticed the front end shake until I put the puig windshield on it.
I got my rebel 500 to hit 110 with out doing anything to it. I’ll probably never do it again though because rebels love to shake but the dummy thick tires are a blessing.
Awesome man! Only thing im feely pitty its i rode my honda nc750 DCT at that same speed thousand times... Sad that we need to unlock the rebel 1100 to get the same speed as the 750cc sisters.
Agreed 100%! It’s a bit odd to sell a “performance cruiser” and then limit the performance. But I guess Honda did it for some reason? Maybe they knew that they’re a bit wobbly at high speeds and put the limiter to help prevent accidents? Who knows…hopefully we see improvements in the future that make the bike more stable at speed as well 🤞🏻
I fear it’s gonna be more common. I wonder if this nanny top speed is part of Honda emissions standards.
Great video! Been waiting for someone to do something like this with the 1100. As for the speed wobble at higher speeds, I used to always get them when breaking over 90 but Ive noticed they don't really happen much after changing out my mirrors. Was cruising at 98 one day and didn't realize how stable the bike actually was. Since then Ive had no problems with wobbles even at 101 (which is where my bike starts to cut out) But I also don't have any bags on the back and my bike is completely stock other than a TBR exhaust, Mirrors and RAM mount (mounted sideways and lower than yours). I also did a test with my phone mounted on my RAM and still hardly any wobbles since. Looking forward to vids from you pertaining to the front suspension though!
Which mirrors did you get?
Yea, I keep seeing stuff about the wobble and I don't get it. I have had my wifes just sitting on her 98/99mph limiter for a WHILE, and done some breaking from those speeds, and nothing even remotely bad happened, that thing felt stable as a rock. WAY more stable than either a Shadow 1100 or a 3rd Gen Magna at the same speeds. So if you are getting weird bike wobbles maybe return to stock and see if it still happens, and if not add back in one accessory at a time to see whats causing the issue.
Sweet products brah must do unleash Dat beast for mo Powa 💪
Hey does this video also apply to the DCT model?
I have gone 105 mph on my 2020 Rebel 500. And by 105 what I’m saying is it will sit there wide open in 6th going between 98-105 mph depending on incline and wind no problem for as long as you like. And I’ve never had any problems with wobble. Now, check your tire pressure it makes a huge difference! Im pretty the CMX500 does not have a speed limiter but it does have a rev limiter at 10,900. If I wanted too I bet I could get it going faster than 105mph by pining it in 5th or 4th to the rev limiter but you know… I do like the thing
Over here in England mine shows 112 mph. But won't go past this in 5th or 6th. Your wobble is probably due to having just one mirror.
I don't think I'd won't to go any faster. 120 + could be a bit sketchy. I've done 8,500 miles on mine I still love it 😀.
I have a good feeling that the wobble is somewhere between having two pistons side by side and a tune that makes is feel more curser
Aussie boi here.
I'm pretty certain down under they are limited to 170kph which is about 105mph.
I'll have to hire someone to test that and get back to you with the results 😎
Hello ,I live in uk, i dont know if the Honda Rebel 1100 dct we get here is different but, on a closed circuit road, i had my very standard bike up to 110 and still going ,no shakes or wobbles, however when i used to have a Triumph Bonneville 1200 with a small screen on the front it would wobble at high speed, i took the small screen off and it had no speed wobble,
IT is the same if you have a phone mount on your bike, it can induce a speed wobble,
I did have the honda dealer check the steering head torque settings and it was fine.
great Bike the Rebel 1100 DCT one of my all time faves, ,very easy to ride,comfortable with ,reasonable handling after fettling the suspension.(essential).
Did they workout that front wobble after a hundy?
That fat front tire would be my guess for the shake. Yeah sounds like the ECU is confused maybe try setting the max speedo healer down to 90 or so 🤷🏼♂️ cool out of the box thinking though, hopefully this gets you some new viewers because your channel is great
My vtx 1300 has a fat front tire and I went 113 mph and no wobble at all. Of course it weighs 700 lbs so maybe that is what stabilizes it.
I think he said something about it, it was the wind pushing on the phone mount.
This is great to know, easy to follow, hope the random guy enjoyed his trip to Mexico 🤣
He said it was beautiful, just a little hot this time of the year! 😂😂😂
@@LifeOfBurch hope he brought some water
Haven't seen it mentioned specifically below but the speed wobble on the rebel is more often than not the PHONE ON THE MOUNT. Try it without the phone and hopefully it's more stable at higher speeds!
Happens on mine with just a windshield. Bone stock it never did it
Crazy how it easy it is to upset the aerodynamics are. And poor Burch has both!
I’m a little curious, I’m wanting to purchase an 1100 as I have the 500 at the minute but just wondering if the limiter is just for the US models as Im in the Uk and I don’t know if the UK models will be the same? Great content Burch 👍🏻
I have seen a few videos where people have it max around 160 kph, so I believe its the same limiter.
Can confirm the limiter is only for US models. EU and even other American markets don’t have the limiter.
Not sure why they only set if for the US market.
@@Brezzlin do you have any one showing what their top speed is? Is it really no limit, or is it just slightly higher? Would love to see the top speed someone actually got to.
@@AyaWetts For a true top speed run we would have to look into the EU market, or somewheres else over seas, as of yet i have not found a vid that shows true top speed, although i've heard reports of it being close to 140mph, tho i can not confirm.
Here in Germany, i phoned a power commander seller and he said it isnt worth buying power commanders for euro 5 engines
Ton up! I always have a random stranger speeding on my bike too when it speed.
Maybe the ECU has an additional fail-safe for the speed limiter. The RPM linearly corellates to to the speed in a given gear. So if the RPM climbs but the speed doesn't the ECU would know that something is wrong. Maybe thats why some pulls didn’t work as expected. Just a guess. Nethertheless, very amazing that you were achieve 110 mph on the Rebel 1100.
Most modern transmissions have a TSS that provides a gearbox speed feed into the ECU, which is likely the signal that the speedohealer interrupts and sends the dummy 98mph in his video. The parameters that likely affected those 2 “off” pulls are the ECU attempting to speed govern based on TSS input reading just a hair faster and him getting governed. My guess is setting the speedohealer U threshold to 95 would solve it entirely. Good point Marcel 👍
@@BrandonWest87 Ah makes sense that the ECU would slowy decrease power before hitting the speed limit instead of making a hard power cut. A hard cut would be pretty dangerous to ride. The trusty old PID controller to the rescue! :)
Did the acceleration improve ? What is the 0 to 60 , 0 to 80 and 0 to 100 ! after that what is the 1/4 mile ET ?
I really like your videos. I didn't watch this to the end though becasue I have no desire to go so fast. It seems as though others are interested so go ahead and make the content you like making and others enjoy. This just isn't my thing. I applaud you for the Distinquished Gentlemen's ride you did. I would love to participate in one of those but my bike doesn't fit the type for it. I have a 2003 BMW F650CS. Keep being Burch. I will like and watch the videos you make that appeal to me.
The front end lifts and an uneven wind trail is caused by your phone being on one side because of the light front end . Either center the phone, or get a wind screen .
My thanks for your "random guy" testing the bike. Shame you gave it away at 13:10 that it was you.
I've heard some talk about a speed wobble, and a salesman I talked to today at an Indian dealership said that it's usually something that can happen to a few sport bikes that are light and powerful. I'm thinking of the early triple Kaw's. Later, they added some welded gusset to where the steering head meets the frame, and they also took some of the performance away in the later years of the triples. So, is it because the frames were too wimpy for the power or weight of the motor? I don't know. This raises a few questions. Is the frame of the 1100 exactly the same as the frame for the other Rebels? What are the differences? Anybody care to do some welding on the frame and report back their findings? lol.
Try changing your head bearing to get rid of the wobble
slowly man!!! we would (spanish) like to understand when you are talking.. jejej. Great videos and thank you for sharing!
Getting a manual let alone a black on black reb1100 is proving hard to do. I’ve been to 3 dealers with no luck. I hope that I can order one
Did you read and see the shaking? Why would you buy a brand new bike with issue that could kill you
@@rubo1964 in a previous video he stated that he got a shake when he had his cell phone in the holder
what does it mean cut power? like turns the bike off or stops reading the speed?
What app do you use to check the top speed?
Anyone know if the dynojet will remove the top speed limit ? I'm gonna do intake exhaust and a tune soon.
Good job
I have the 2023 DCT version any updates on which cord I need. I'm about to do this on my bike.
My Rebel1100 DCT is a Taiwanese version, and the power has been reduced due to environmental regulations, but I have tried two-person riding, reaching 172km/hr. If I install this device, is it possible to increase the speed?
Very cool, too much electronic babysitter stuff these days which I get why…. so that we have something to tinker about. Welcome to the ton up club!
Got the Yamaha bolt to 114, no limiter. The bolt is a 942cc and almost like 550 lbs. so I'd think the rebel 1100 must go faster.
cc's are not the only determinate factor in speed, rpm's and engine to ground power train must also be considered
Thanks!
As another youtuber found out its your phone mounted on the handlebar that does the wobble not the bike.
sweet. might give it a go
It’s definitely worth it! The distributor I linked in the description sells the whole kit for only $110 with free shipping. I found them after ordering direct through HealTech, which is about $140 including shipping since they ship from Hungary 😅😅😅
You may want to try lowering the "U" speed to 96 or 97, I'm wondering if the ecu limiter is actually 99 and the speedo healer didn't catch it in time. That could be why once or twice it seemed to max out at 98? May not help anything but could be worth a try. It shouldn't be a fueling issue, your fueling should be dictated by RPM regardless of gear, not the speedo. The only time you see any sort of gear specific tuning that I'm aware of is in high hp applications on something like a turbo fwd honda (they can't keep traction with full boost in first gear, or even second sometimes, so they limit boost by gear).
Yea that’s my thought as well! This week I’m planning to switch U to 95 and see what the outcome is. I tried going back and watching the footage to see if the speedo ever blipped from 98 to 99, but I didn’t see it happen. Of course that doesn’t mean that the bike didn’t somehow read 99 and cut power still. Anyway, doing the test at 95 should give some much clearer answers! 🤞🏻
May want to decrease it even lower as my Dyno tech said the rebel starts to cut out at around 90mph
@@jamescampbell170 really?! I would not have expected that…I guess I have a lot of testing to do 😅
@@LifeOfBurch I set the speed healer for around 80mph and was able to achieve 120+ and max out every gear. Didn’t experience any wobbles but I’m also 6’ 230lbs
@@jamescampbell170 yeesss such a great update!! 120+ is crazy! I’m definitely going to turn my threshold down and see how it does 🤘🏻
Cool video Burch, I like the simple explanation of what was going on! What you did is a clever way of bypassing the speed limiter. Although surprising that the mystery driver only managed to get an extra 10mph and even then it was iffy with the wobble... I've seen videos of people testing top speed of Rebel 500 and just managed to get it to 100 mph, strange that you get such a similar top speed considering that the engine for Rebel 500 is so much smaller than Rebel 1100. Any thoughts on that?
Although the Rebel 500 can get to 100mph, it’s hard to show through video truly how much more powerful the Rebel 1100 is up until that speed. Cruisers aren’t necessarily built for speed as much as they are torque, grunt, and bottom end. So even though their top speed isn’t that far off, I’m not kidding when I say that at 85mph when I’m cruising 2-up on the 1100, I still have FAR more passing power than I did at that same speed by myself on my 500.
I think the wobble is just a byproduct of the geometry of cruisers in general, mixed with how light the Rebel 1100 is, and how much the weight is biased to the rear. You get that big front wheel spinning at that speed and it can get a mind of its own. Lots of cruisers have that issue, it’s just not as apparent on the 500 because the front wheel is so much smaller, the front tire is so much chunkier, and it lacks enough power at that speed to really transfer any weight to the rear.
Some people have done away with the wobble simply by getting new tires, but I’d like to do a bit more to really make sure it’s stable. And then I’m sure with a tune the bike could reach a higher speed, but the stock tune and fueling really isn’t designed for more speed because Honda never intended it to pass 100mph.
That’s my two…or three…cents on all of it! 😂
@@LifeOfBurch Ohhh, that is a fair point. I didn't consider the "oompf" factor when commenting, my bad! I love my rebel 500, but as a holder of A2 licence, I didn't have a chance to test a bike with more displacement/HP/torque yet! I do hope to upgrade in the next 2 years, money permitting. Anyway, thanks for your input and I'll definitely tune in to your future videos as well!
@@LordReywer I’m happy to help dude! 🙏🏻
@@LifeOfBurch plenty of cruisers that do faster than 100, this is a Rebel 1100 specific problem. I've done 130 on 2 different Honda cruisers, one being a Magna the other being a VTX1800 and they were stable the whole time. Rebel 1100 just being weird.
@@fastec5 so fucking tired of shitting my pants when my rebel starts the wiggles / wobble crap
Great to see. Thx. But that wobble 😕
Yea the wobble definitely had me clenching up 😅😂
@@LifeOfBurch TBH, even tho I'm not planning to do 100 ever, I feel like they need to fix that b4 I drop 11 - 12k. It's really the only thing keeping me from buying one right now.
I saw a video about a hopped up sportster shaking at high speeds and it turned out that his mounted phone was the problem. Apparently it gave enough resistence to create a shake. Maybe try a run not mounting the phone on the handlebars. Worth a shot
Thank you
Neat hack. Great work!
Thanks man! 😎🤘🏻
Front End Shake: another RUclipsr found his phone mount was catching wind and shaking the steering. He removed his phone, the shake went away.
Question, if the bike has a known "death" wobble in the front end at high speeds, and, imho, the bike is meant to just be a cruiser. Why put a thing like this on? Just curious. I would think if you wanna go fast, just get something that's designed for that purpose. Love the content!
If you get rid of the oem tires the wobble goes away. I stay pinned at 100 on the high way.
@@rbrowning008 What tire did you go with on the front?
@@bentgolden Bias ply front, Radial rear
Metzeler Cruisetec
What modifications can lessen the front end shake at high speeds?
New tires
I’m assuming it’s an ECU speed limiter so surely a proper tune would fix that?
yo im thinking of getting my m license soon, what do you guys think is a good starter bike? i was looking at the Honda NAVI and TRAIL125 but what do you guys think?
both are very under powered things with low top speeds... you have to stay on slow streets. The Trail 125 is a fun bike if you never really want to do more than around 50mph (80kph), but I wouldn't want it to be an only bike. I really think the Rebel 300 is the most awesome starter bike. Low power, but decent speed and good gas mileage, very easy to ride.
That front end shake is crazy. I know this bike is faster than vulcan 650 but vulcan 650 don't shake like that and seen it hit speeds of 115 to 120mph.
This is what I came to comment about. I have a vulcan s 650, and I can get to about 117 pretty quick, before my power runs out. I'm pretty surprised that an engine twice the size is struggling at 110.
@@joehnsn I know right? The rebel 1100 is the quicker bike, has to be. But the vulcan 650 just punches so much higher than the the numbers suggest for some reason.

Was it really worth the work to get that extra 10?
After watching your vidios, I am starting to think about switching my Shadow 750 to Rebel 1100... So yea, good job advertising :)
try setting the speedohealer at 95. more room for the bike to think that its not going 99-100
That’s the plan! 95 feels like a better sweet spot for the threshold, so I’m gonna test it and see what it does 🤘🏻
Did you check out the Power Commander already? There are some horses sleeping in the Rebel! Should easily be possible to get to over 100 horses just as the Africa Twin commands.
What’s up Mr Burch
I’m super late to the party. Just got my 1100 about three months ago. But I was wondering have you seen anyone else with this mod go faster than 110?
Maybe there was a good reason they limited the speed. If it shakes that badly at top speeds, they probably know something we don’t 😂 I wouldn’t mess with it if I had one. If you need to go fast, why are you buying a cruiser anyway? Cool mod though.
The majority who try this will create a nightmare for themselves! Don't do this unless you understand how everything works!
Congratulations on this. Please ride safe you and your ride test dummi…

Thanks! I absolutely will! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Maybe mount the fairing to the frame, for better stability at speed.
Says these are out of stock. Anywhere else you can buy these ?
Hey there Burch! I’ve had some shaking on mine too with around 100km/h or a bit above here, and my dealer told me that the shaking happens because of my sidebags I had attached making wind flow weird - like yours. Not sure if this is a real thing, I’m really no expert to bikes, not even close :D
Maybe you want to test it without the bags
