Bought the same for replacing the stock thinking it would fit perectly (apart from Grinding the wahser of the riser )but its not I had to drill the holes and made modification because the hole that came is not fit for Himalayan. Note- this ktm handlebar s shorter than the Himalaya one. I've compared & measured .
Do you need to change the acce cabel or any cabel for the riser ??
Very Unique and one of the Best Video I was Looking for it.

Ben I just think even a guy of 5'6" like me needs a handlebar riser for long rides because when I ride my friends Himalayaan I was bending forward a bit which was good in twisty mountain roads but sometimes I feel like I can use a taller handlebar or a rised handlebar. My question is how does the ktm handlebar feel in twisty mountain roads?
So much informative. Love from Mumbai ❤️

Hi Ben. Thanks for the video. I was trying to source the Duke 390 handlebar (in mumbai) but couldn't as it is out of stock with all the service centers. None of the are sure on the return. Hence, wanted to check if it is available through any other channels. Please let me know
Hi Ben once again.... Can you make a video on garmin usage and compared with an mobile GPS apps (also open street maps is also available on androids and ios) Is it really worth to buy expensive GPS system in India 🇮🇳 ? ... Also most of the good navigation systems not available in for purchases. So a cheap or old phones with apps can be used nowadays.. Though garmin systems are reliable in Western countries and also ruggedly built.. Is it still valuable compared to the current phones which does the pretty same job.....
Hi Ben, I have installed AOM handlebar on my Himalayan 2022. However it has increased the vibration post 3000 rpm. This was not the case in stock handlebar. I have checked all the bolts and it's fixed accurately. One of the mechanic suggested to add the stock handle weight with the stock knuckle guard which I had installed. Will it help?

Hi Ben sorry for disturbing again I read a comment from this video. I that u replied that while installing the ktm handlebar (u have to make pin holes for the switch console slightly bigger by drilling) this is what I can't understand where we have to make pin holes for the switch console. Sorry I am continuously asking u my queries so sorry for that Ben. I hope u must be not angry on me. Waiting for yours reply 🙏🙇♂️.

open your switch console and see for yourself Yash . you will find a small metal projection in the upper half of the console that goes inside a hole in the handlebar to lock it in place . the same holes on the ktm handlebars are slightly smaller in dia . so you will have to drill them out to accomodate the pin on your stock switch console
It would be great help , you could give brief descriptions and with links so we can look into that and buy it

Hi Ben, so it's my dad who got a Himalayan for highway touring 80% of the time. With close to 1000km clocked so far, he wishes the handle to be a little nearer to him. He is 5'4" and also has a shorter upper body. He has tilt the handle bar angle a little to come a little closer to him just before the elbow bending inward limit. That has made a world of difference but he is not yet relaxed for longer rides( He wishes to have a little more nearer reach). With the knowledge you have, what can I ask him to do/consider? Thanks.

@@ONTWOWHEELSBEN But that would increase the height too isn't it. Like I said, he is short and also has a shorter upper body. Any different handle bar for nearer reach than stock that you have an idea about? Because I can still chart out that a riser as much as good would be, is bad since the bar being tilted to the extreme(shorter upper body) is going to hurt the good ride feel and confidence.

hi friend . the stock cables will work just fine even with 2 inch risers. but be aware that the ktm doesnt fit the stock perch . you will need a riser kit that allows for a fatter handlebar to sit comfortably. the city commute is far better than the stock handle bar
