HowStuffWorks Rebel A Chopper Profile -spun1

The 250-cc Honda Rebel chopper just isn't one with the major V-twin that John Lewis, builder of X-Treme Cycle, focuses on creating. His wife Jeanne desired a bike of her very own, so he decided to create one thing smaller.

That's how the Honda Rebel was born, but certainly, the chopper didn't present the right search. Some customizing was in order, and this bike obtained a basketful.

For starters, the Rebel's stock frame was modified that has a longer swingarm, which was fixed in area using a reliable hyperlink. That converted it to a hardtail frame using a reduced profile and seat height.

A quick, sculpted rear fender replaced the unique over the Rebel, as well as typical fuel tank was tossed in favor of the hand-formed "coffin" tank. A custom seat rides over a fat 16-inch rear wheel and tire that replaced the skinny stockers.

Other custom touches within the Rebel include chopper-style headlight and taillight, high-flying fishtail , and silver metalflake flames over the black paint.

It just goes to show that customs, such as the Rebel, can come in all shapes and sizes. The whole idea is to "have it your way," whatever that way might be.
