ALSO, IT CAME WITH A BACK MASTER CYLINDER GUARD.... YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE TO SOLVE THE HEAD-LIGHT TURNING ISSUE!!! WELL-DONE!! SEE YA ON THE ROAD.... JOHN IN NORWOOD

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

Thanks John! Sounds like we both like to mess with our bikes. Half the reason I enjoy them. Your mods sound great. See you around. Off to ride a long time on dirt roads for the cam.

@danzuelch Год назад

Great to have you back! Boy, have you been busy. You should have designed the Scram for RE!

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

Thanks! Just messin around really. Appreciate it!

It's like you've turned it into a SCRAM. Looks cool. Nice work. I'm way to lazy to do much modification to my Himalayan until something gets in the way of my riding. I'm curious about what RU-vid has done that kept you from posting?

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

Hah! You’re right! With a bit better trail capability. But essentially so. Tinkering is a good stress reliever. Thanks!

@billymc2681 Год назад

Great job on all the mods! Nice watch too...😂

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

Thanks!

@davidburnside1233 Год назад

Looks so much cleaner.

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

Thanks! I agree. Simple look for a simple bike and my simple preferences. And i like the light and dash mounted to the fork to turn when the bars do.

@PaulUpton1 Год назад

Looking good.

@edwardkaminsky8142 Год назад

Interesting modifications Ron! Looks like a scrambler without a doubt. Love the tires. Have to ride early here now due to heat.( Vegas) RE's do carry their heat😅.

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

Oh goodness. It had gotten to 75 so far but that’s it. It’s all good. More water for everyone I reckon. Thanks!

@Drewniversal Год назад

Come ride the trails around Durango went wayyyy up Missionary Ridge a couple days ago was amazing

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

That sounds great! Once the cam is ready to roll I’m ready. Thanks!

@rogerhilbig3423 Год назад

Glad to see you back in action! I like the modifications and I got rid of my “beak” on day 1 because I didn’t see a purpose for it. Do you have a total weight loss calculation? I’m really interested in the TEC cam results, because I’m also in Colorado and changed to a 14 tooth front sprocket to give it better high elevation climbing ability. I did achieve that but am limited to cruising at 65 to keep rpm’s reasonable and maybe the cam would allow me to increase the sprocket size.

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

Me too! Thanks. I’m interested to see what happens. I saved the 15 tooth and the old chain so it’ll be an easy swap if I need to go the other direction. 300 miles of dirt road travel to bed the cam and I’ll let you know. Thanks again!

I have a 2021 Himalayan. I am very impressed with your DIY skills. I don't think I would be interested in doing the mods that you did to the headlight and instrument cluster but it is very cool that you were able to do this. I really like your new fender. I wouldn't remove my bird beak unless I could get a hold of that fender. I also like your hand guards but they don't perfectly match the paint on the tank. I bought the official Himalayan hand guards.

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

Hey Gerald! Thanks for the comments. You’re totally right about the hand guards. They’re off a bit. Ah well. My original RE set we’re totally demolished on my first ride. I hit a bit of ice. I’m having fun playing around with it. I’m no customizer. Just a guy with a garage that has too much junk and curiosity. I just cut the plastic off at the right length and used that piece as a template for the angle for the new edge. Have fun and be safe with yours. Thanks!

Have you done a video where you discuss your tires?

@swcoloradoadventures 5 месяцев назад

I haven’t done one for tires specifically. I mention them a lot, but not like a review. Good idea though!

@y404mog 5 месяцев назад

Beginning to think about replacements. Too many options.

@brianmapes6202 Год назад

like it. how much weight did you loose?

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

I’m thinking about 20-25 lbs. haven’t weighed it all out yet. When I’m finishing it with the final brackets and design, m gonna make a video and have the weight handy. I’m Trying to decide if I wanna take off the center stand. Or maybe find a lighter alloy version if there is one.

@brianmapes6202 Год назад

@@swcoloradoadventures might want to keep the center stand, they come in handy when issue come about

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

@@brianmapes6202 agreed. That’s why it’s still there. Ideally I would go with something lighter if possible. Another reason I got the Himalayan over the Scram. So, likely not gonna happen.

@graymangw6016 Год назад

You turned it into a scram 411

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

Kinda. Yeah. I like the scram but wanted the clearance. Funny huh? What we do when bored

@graymangw6016 Год назад

@@swcoloradoadventures It looks pretty good. Wish you made a video on specifically how you did everything.

@swcoloradoadventures Год назад

@@graymangw6016 once I actually land on the final design with the better clamps and stuff, I’ll do one with the details. I spent most of my time digging through the garage to figure out what would work and trying to figure out how to cut and grind.
