Love from India, your himalayan is an absolute beauty

The standard royal enfield engine guard is surprisingly sturdy. Mine deflected a deer and saved my ankle. I will still be replacing them with a 3 point mounted set like yours. Little extra never hurt.

Stoked on this man, thank you for sharing. I have the same bike, same year, same colorway! Got it a few months ago and sitting at 1200 miles right now. Happy to join the RE family.

That is one handsome big boy's mule! You remind me of an older neighbor I had as a kid. He got a brand new (green, my fav color) Raleigh 3 spd with a rat trap, streamers, mudflaps and a light that generated power off the wheel. Having a one speed I kept updating with a can of paint, I was envious as hell. Now that I can afford all the goodies, I'm too lazy to do anything about it. lol 😆

Best looking Himalayan I've ever seen.

Similar additions to mine, I love the doubletake mirrors. I would Throw the RE hand guards away, they snap off if you drop the bike. Acerbis make a decent set that fits with minimal bending and clamps onto the bars as well as using the factory bar weights. If you fitted the spacers that came with the RE protectors, toss them and refit the original bar weights. You will find out why when your arms go numb from the vibration. Another great addition is the SRC top plate for the rear carrier, allows you to strap on bags a lot easier. I run kriega bags and have the kriega panels attached to the plannier frames. US30 each side and a 20 on the top, with an additional 5 on top of the 20 that holds my wet weather leggings.

The most comprehensive review on accessories for this motorbike…. Thank you very much.. There’s me thinking as I search for 2022 Himalayan thinking okay £3500 UK should do it, but then I’ll probably do what you have done is load it up with several kilos of expensive accessories. Hahaha….. maybe I’ll just be selective on the one’s that is really essential for me. Thank you very much. Oh, and just to say I’m returning to motorcycling after a 20 year lay off…. I had a couple of re-engineered BSA 650’s back in the day, which were extremely reliable and trouble-free, and I like the old style of riding…. Don’t get me wrong I’ve ridden a Suzuki 900, CBR600R and a couple of her others in my time, but I do love these older style functioning bikes that are more accessible for self maintenance and also back here in the UK. All local roads (Wales & Scotland>to a lesser extent

The KLR is a great bike for the money also. All depends what you want to do with it. The only drawback to the Himalayan is the power at higher speeds. Makes passing and highway speeds a challenge. For back roads and what it is built for though it is a joy to ride.

I was watching itchyboots who had them on her Honda CRF Rally 300. She dropped her bike and it broke at the mirror where it transitions to the ram mount. I think a cheaper solution is needed if the double takes are just as prone to breakage as anything else. I like all of the rest of your accessories.

@MSMAdventures

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment! I love watching Itchyboots. I have been down twice so far and no issues but I imagine if they are hit just right they will break. I feel the functionality is worth the risk of them breaking.

Between the hand guards and the taller windshield, how effective is it in blocking the wind? Keep in mind I'm coming from a Goldwing. Would it be half as effective, 3/4 effective of a Goldwing? Blocking the wind is important and yours does look effective. I ride mine to work but it doesn't get the mileage. Now the total cost to change tires is up to $700 and they don't even last 2 years. Seriously wanting to sell it and get a set up like yours.

Not quite sure why you need a bigger screen, or indeed any screen on a Himmy. Top speed 70 mph, or if you're riding off-road, actual speeds on this bike will be a lot less. Especially carrying luggage. Thanks for the tips though, the rear-brake master cylinder guard is definitely a 'must'. Love and peace.

I like what you have done to your bike. But now that time has passed a little... The hand guards... As they are open on the inside... Do they catch vegetation when you wander in tall grass or tight forest trail? In the old days also at least for the types that tied only to the inside, they could crush your hand if you hit a tree or fell to the side and turning in... I would apreciate your input in this as you now have them for a while. Cheers!
