Sweet walk-thru, I appreciate you putting this together along with the links!

I appreciate the things you discussed in this video. It's so easy to get overwhelmed with gear and mods. Yours is a voice of reason. Thank you!

Thanks for doing this. I’m on a little adventure with my Himalayan. I call this the ghosts of the coal branch tour. I’m in the eastern slopes of the Rockies exploring ghost towns. Yesterday it started to rain. I did about 160 km on muddy dirt roads. Today it was raining harder in the couple of hours I was on the bike I got soaked so I’m hold up in a motel watching your video. It sounds like we have similar backgrounds although I’m much older. For 14 years I taught outdoor education at a private school so I did a lot of backpacking and mountaineering with the kids. Now I don’t camp anymore I use motels.

@On2Feet 2 года назад

Gerald...enjoy your adventure! I spent about 10 days playing around in the San Juans on my Himalayan, and had an absolute blast (also staying in many motel rooms!...although I did camp a few times). You are correct, I have a lot of experience with long-distance backpacking....but teach geoscience and climate science related content to grad students at a University now.

I did a rear shock replacement, upgraded the front fork springs and fluid/ better for carring more of a load. I also used a smog delete as well as a bigger front sprocket and a bigger rear rack. Beyond that stock.

Really great down to earth info sharing. I very much appreciate and being a kind of DIY discoverer myself want to catch up on your past vids and keep up with your adventures, keenly subscribed now. Cheers

Saving money for my 1st bike. Decided to go with the Himalayan for the price and overall features. I was originally going to go with the Honda CRF300L Rally, but after a careful review, I find the Himalayan to be a much more capable bike. Hopefully, I will get to start that journey this next spring.

Hey young man I really liked your video. I wished you were my neighbor so I could come over and hang out a little to learn about some of this stuff. I just finished a build on a cargo trailer making it into a camper. I want to get some kind of dirt bike to take with me camping. I really like the REH. Thanks again. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸

I purchased a 2021 Himmy right before discovering your channel. This video has become a “grocery list” of sorts for me ever since :) Much appreciated! Question: does your aftermarket windshield solve the issue where the Himmy-specific barkbuster bar would hit the dash when locking the handlebars, or did you also add a riser for that? Would love to hear how you solved that. Keep up the great work/vids! 🤘

@mrt2690 2 года назад

Very nice video. I just got a Himalayan and am looking forward on adding a few accesoiries.

@On2Feet 2 года назад

One small piece of advice I'd pass along is .... don't go too crazy with accessories. There's an enormous temptation to get ALL THE ACCESSORIES NOW!...and honestly you really don't need a lot of them. I think hand guards and engine guards are important...and everything else can come later...

@mrt2690 2 года назад

@@On2Feet Hey thanks for the response! Yea i think so too, and it already has handguards, engine guards and pannier rack. I'm looking out for some panniers right now and then the adventure can really start. I really like the royal enfield alu panniers but they're pretty expensive..

We were seriously looking at buying 2 of the Honda CRL 300 until the local dealer stated there was a 1000 dollars additional dealer fee for set up and shipping.....per bike. Hello Royal Enfield looking forward to going back to a simple bike.

@darrenbalogh679 2 года назад

Great video, very informative. I have a deposit on 2022 Himalayan at a Seattle dealership. Started riding dirt bikes when I was 12, but have been riding road bikes for the past 15 years...can’t wait to get back out on some trails! My question, did you buy the tank / knee pads pre-made as a kit or did you cut them out yourself? And can you remove them without damaging the paint? Thanks.

@Brianmoto49 Год назад

@micaelaiphys 3 года назад

Random question, what accessories do you still have that you might not use? I may be interested depending on what parts you have! Love the video! We live in Denver; you will LOVE the Sangre de Christo range!

@On2Feet 3 года назад

The only things I still have that I took off are the windshield extender (amazon $20), the headlight grille (which I'll probably keep), my standard headlight (which I'll also probably keep as a backup), and a silver "Himalayan" branded rear brake master cylinder guard. I'd sell that. see here: customiseride.com/product/royal-enfield-himalayan-master-cylinder-guard-rear-silver-1760146-d-1990219/

@gnemois 2 года назад

Great video, do you have the video of how to mount the accessories, such as USB plug or fog light? I wonder where and how to put the live wire. Cheers

@On2Feet 2 года назад

I didn't do anything special for the USB plug. I simply took the gas tank off and ran the cable down the center of the bike to the battery with the other electrical cables (I had to clip and redo a few zip ties). I mounted my USB charger under the handlebars, but it could honestly go just about anywhere up front. Personal preference really.

@OldSkoolBiker62 2 года назад

So glad I found your channel, thanks for all the great info... I'm just about to buy a 2022 Royal Enfield Himalayian.. Please can you tell me what is the GoPro remote you are using? There seems to be a few to choose from, I use a GoPro hero 7 black. Thanks again, Ride Safe bud.

@On2Feet 2 года назад

I actually don't use that gopro remtoe anymore. It was a really old one that didn't sync well with the new gopros. If I were to get a new one, I'd probably get the newest official gopro model here: amzn.to/3OXh2M6

@papawesadventures9240 2 года назад

Thank you for making this. I just got mine in December and am starting the buildout. We go up in the Rio Grande range near South Fork quite often. Do you have a specific video on the head light change out? I saved the link on Amazon, but everything said Harley bikes. I want to make sure I'm getting the correct thing. Thanks in advance...

@On2Feet 2 года назад

It's funny you mention the headlight. I ended up swapping it back out as that particularly model gave me lots of problems, and honestly was just quite cheaply made. I posted a video about it. Just search for the "Relay upgrade" video. Instead, I upgraded the bulb to a very-high output halogen and have been content with it. Plus, it's easier to replace should it burn out.

@barrykelly2722 2 года назад

Like 662. Probably just one question. The front headlamp is a single center mount. Do you know if a double lamp option exists for the Himalayan? I think Triumphs and BMW use a double.

@manunope 2 года назад

I have the GIVI protection (TN9050) installed on my Himalayan. The left part protrudes and continuously hits the left ankle. I have contacted the manufacturer, sent photos, and explained the problem. They have treated me correctly, but they tell me that the protection is designed that way. Other users have the same problem.

@austindrawhorn2141 2 года назад

@On2Feet 2 года назад

@richardzrogers Год назад

Super post! Thank you. When you bought the hand guards at Revzilla what model bike did you select? They don't appear to make these for RE but I agree yours look more durable than the stock ones.

@On2Feet Год назад

Interesting...I don't see the link on Revzilla anymore either. It now redirects me to KTM guards. I'll see if I can track them down.

@michealgillman7418 Год назад

Have you considered any mods to up the bhp, as 24 is a bit low. There's a company here in the UK called "tech bike" and they do a replacement camshaft which combined with a mufler and airfilter change give a 20% increase in power and improves running and fuel consumption! It's quiet an easy job to, their are videos on RU-vid 👌

@On2Feet Год назад

Yeah, I've looked into the TEC cam and big bore kits, but honestly, I'm just not that into the idea of spending that kind of money to so fundamentally change the bike. I think I'd rather just get a different bike at that point. I've watched a few videos of people that have done these upgrades, and the return is not that great either. I'm perfectly content to just putt along as is for now.

@ajrotelle3951 2 года назад

You mentioned the throttle sensor issue that you remedied. Can you link me some more info on that? I recently bought one with about 400 miles on it and it always chokes off multiple times until fully warmed up.

Hello friend, I am replacing my original Bosch R6 spark plug with a CR8EIX. According to your experience, has this change worked well? Greetings

@On2Feet 2 года назад

You know, it's always so hard to tell if a change like this truthfully makes a significant difference or not. I guess what I'd say anecdotally is that since upgrading the plug, adjusting the Throttle position sensor, replacing the relays, and upgrading the air filter....my bike has been running smoothly, consistently, and reliably. I have had not hiccups, stalls, breakdowns, or other running problems (knock on wood!).

@karan.k 2 года назад

Hi, could you please share where did you get your pannier from? I don't want to spend a fortune on them but would like something decent for a long tour. Thanks

@On2Feet 2 года назад

Unfortunately I bought them as original accessories when I bought the bike…so paid way too much for them. You can probably find them on eBay fairly affordable I would guess.

@lipsee100 2 года назад

Regarding the Barkbuster,they are pretty expensive ,,you can pick up Chinese knockoffs for at cheap money and they are just as good.. I also added adjustable levers,,, I was not happy with the fork action,,so fitted the YSS fork kit,,,and yeah the fork action is much softer now... Looking at your bike I think the panniers are too wide and the gap beween to pannier and the frame looks huge ( I hate knocking my knees on the box when getting on) so I went for the Lomo soft pannier and they are cheap.. Next thing I got is a chain oiler but yet to fit,also looking at a chain tensioner .They are cheap so may get one just to see if it works on the bike... You really do not need to drop a hole load of cash on this bike to make it fit for the job,,but maybe I,m just a cheap bastard!!!!

@On2Feet 2 года назад

I totally get the pannier complaint. I think for my next go around, I'll probably get soft bags as well.

Thank you what's the beam like ?

@On2Feet 3 года назад

@@Bob-oo7sm Best way to describe it is that it's just different. The Halogen is much more diffuse with a larger spread, but the LED is brighter and more intense where it's needed. I took a recent trip to Colorado and had to ride for a couple hours along a VERY dark mountain road. the LED was more than sufficient and in my opinion better than the halogen. I did have to point the headlight housing downward a bit to direct the beam better. I do think ultimately, I may add some accessory LED lights to my front racks, but they are quite expensive and it can wait. accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/accessory-shop/Spotlights-and-Bracket/44780

Thats strange that you don't get on with the touring seat. I bought one right away for my himalayan, and I've done 3 and a half hour stints with only a stop for a photo maybe once or twice, on 12 hour ride days, and was super comfortable. I weigh a lot less than you, 6ft and 9 stone ;)
