The bike looks and sounds great. Your elegant fix for the rear hoop that sticks out past the seat is the first thing I would do. I hate the way it looks from the factory. Super job on that! All the other mods look good as well. My only other thought is not to paint the wheels black. I think the silver matches the pipes really well and makes the bike look "lighter"...but I know lots of other folks would disagree as black wheels seem to be the popular choice these days. Anyway...hope you enjoy the bike and thanks for all your posts. Color me...Subscribed.

Glad to see you back Joy. Your bike looks awesome!!! I esp like the rear brake light, very nice..We just switched out the brake & clutch levers with black levers and a new exhaust system on ours.

Good to see the reassurance I can mount a center-stand. The salesman didn't know 4sure but at my first service the factory rep just happened to be visiting and he said it can be fit. I like to go sit on my old CX500 on the stand in a landing-area to watch the river go by leaning back on my carry-box with my feet up on the bars and would like to do the same with the GT. Then when it's time to leave I just fire 'er up, put it in gear and a little body-"English" takes me off the stand and I ride away. It's sort of a "signature" with me as well as the "flying dismount which keeps me on the left peg so I'm high-enough to clear the box with my right-leg. Then I'm right where I need to be to put it up on the stand. I'm loving the Enfield so-far. 3yrs unlimited-miles + the road-service speaks 2me of a company which has faith in what they're selling. When I got my unexpected financial windfall ( just precisely covering all costs including the sales-tax, first service, registration &c.) I got the last one in-stock late 2021 and saved a couple hundred$$ over the next allotment price. When I was told they had one I got it insured B4 I ever even saw the bike. I'm feeling really good about this decision. The folks at Gateway BMW have a nice "culture". Kudos to Royal Enfield! I like your mods---looks great! Keep it rubber-side down!

best MOD i have ever seen on GT hope the mods are legal in india.

Nice! When putting higher flow pipes on a bike, I would definitely put a high flow D&A air filter on it as well; sure the pipes sound good, but why not get better throttle response and that wonderful intake sound as well? No need for flashing the ECU or anything, just put the new filter and bracket on, let the bike run from cold to warm running temp; approximately 15 minutes WITHOUT revving, then go for a gentle run and voilá; done! Just makes the in-breath be as efficient as the out-breath!

Hi Joy, you mentioned that it's a bit tall , do check out 'tec bike parts' UK or US, they have rear shocks which could reduce the height by 40mm + , and they're pretty good too, preload and rebound adjustable. I have installed them and they're reasonably priced. I feel a lot more confident when flat footed. Cheers

Great video. I just dropped my handlebars, same as you. The original config had a connecting piece between the grip mount and the triple tree. Did you use an extended connector between the grip mount and the triple tree? If not, have you had any issues with grips moving since moving lower?

Wow looks awesome. I’m curious as to the lowering of the bars that you did, is it possible to lower them even more? After installing the pipes, did you have the fuel map retuned or left as is?

@JoyonaBike

2 жыл бұрын

You might be able to lower them more, it would require removing the upper triple tree. But they might end up being too low and the cables might not even allow them to be pushed down further. From what we’ve read, the ECM will adjust so we left the fuel map as is.

Super nice!! Could you talk a bit more about the tail section? Was the hoop you ordered the one from India? I heard that it’s made of plastic... and one more thing: isn’t the rear fender mandatory in TX? Thank you so much!

From my understanding, the plate has to be clear from obstruction and visible from a certain distance. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about it being vertical. I also have a Suzuki TU250X with a vertical plate. As of yet, we haven't been pulled over for the license plate. Hope you can find your answer for your state, and have fun, it's a great bike!
