This guy doesn't waste time. He starts immediately with clear and crisp information. Sound quality is good. Technical aspects are cleared with good reasons. Bro, keep it up.
Very sensible budget mods you've done. Thanks for taking the time to share them. You just earned another subscriber. Greetings from a rare Enfield owner in the USA! I've got one of the old "Iron Barrel" model 2005s in that green "Military" trim forbidden by law in India except for the military and police. You hardly ever see Enfields here, but that might slowly change with those new 650 twins. Thanks again, Bro! And well done.
2 years before i met with a minor crash on my Thunderbird with those RD handle bar( after market ) and i found out that those handle bars got bend and i had to cancel that journey . They will even bend if your motorcycle slips down from the side stand so it's better for you (long distance riders) to use alternative handle bars from the showroom itself ie: you can fix handle bars of Himalayan or interceptor 650 and they are more reliable , you can fix those handle bar guards on them 😊
I don't think even RE handle bars are strong enough. I was using my stock handle bar(Now i have RD) until i met with a minor accident. My bike didn't fall down, but the on sudden break the bike slipped and moved forward and stopped by hitting on the exhaust of another bike. Everyone including me thought my bike had no issues, but soon after the ride i gave it for service and found my bike had handle bar bent, wheel alignment change and fork bent. It was a very minor accident but the cost of repair was 6k. :(
Awesome video as always, you know how to keep things simple, always to the point, concise and precise. Thanks to you I discovered places like Valparai, Sholayar, Vagamon etc, went to all those places after I saw how well u presented them in your vlogs. Pls don't ever change your style of presentation, intro music etc, it's what keeps me glued to this channel
nice additions, for me I would have put larger hand guards on because I don't like wet hands and I like to ride with lighter gloves but you have those cool gloves which I like the looks of, the fork gaiters are a wise addition, good job
First of all . First time in utube really frank video which is usefull. Instead of modification and crap things.. Very detailed approach. Appreciated. Btw please pass through the shop names in chennai pudupet.
Looks great ! Just one suggestion, try to get rid of the bend pipe wrap.. it traps the heat that needs to be released and may damage the pipe in long run
its a gud thng u chose to work on ur bike urself rather than handing it over to some random mechanic. ths bike is going to b a very special part of ur life.
It's really superb and elegant i also loved the way your your self worked on it, one small feed back from my end is that the wind visor would look good and eventually protect you from the wind blast. Also gives an amazing look to the bike
The bike looks great. Just one suggestion, change the brake fluid, brake fluid can go off over time, it's hygroscopic, it attracts moisture and will corrode the metal in your brake system over time. Just flush out and replace the brake system with new fluid ;-) I do it every year or so to keep the brakes in tip top condition, If your brake fluid is discoloured you are already in trouble......
Good decision with the battery ,exides are super awful ,I've changed it twice in a year on my 350,I recently switched to amco because of this...love the way you've revamped the motorcycle ....looking forward to more great content from you
I'm into modifying my Thunderbird 2017 with meteor right , left mount switch assembly with its master cylinder meteors headlight assembly and finally meteors digital speedometer with GPS
You did a nice job explaining what you did and why you did it - and I like your thoughts about the new battery. . The headlight grill is not giving me any love but everything else on your bike looks great. Thanks for sharing.
It's is really amusing to see that those who use all the foul language in their videos get almost 10 million subscribers and those who speaks really well don't get recognized properly. Rohit should be having more subs. Keep up the good work Buddy and you will reach heights. My speaking is not that good but I learn a lot from you and it helps in my Motivational videos.......,....... Consulting Positivist.
rohith bhai faith is awesome even i have similar modifications on my thunderbird back rest an all. rohith bhai great job . bhai your a inspiration for me . this is your big fan from hyderabad.
I think we're ready to go now!! But, to where? In these summer months, with the monsoon about to land. Hopefully, the answers await in the next episode! Waiting for the ride to start.
That's neat. Can't believe you did all of that on your own. Just in case you need some more practice, I have a Classic 350, it needs some love as well. 😜. Regards Joy.
It's great that you do the work yourself. Your bike looks simply elegant. Have you found any difference in handlebar vibrations WRT to original one? I have Bullet 500 and handlebar vibrations are tremendous.
I have done similar changes in mt TB for long ride .things which u could have added are : 1 . Touring seat 2. Full length foor pegs 3. A mobile charger and a metal mobile holder 4. A top boz 5. Tank protection lamination 6. Perfomance airfileter and spark plugs
Those power leds are tend to overheat and blow up in a short time due to poor or no ventilation in your headlight so think again before you put yourself on a long trip.
Cheap Chinese LEDs was not a good choice. It scatters light and can distract drivers coming from opposite side. This could be dangerous and may lead to fatal accidents.
although ur saddle guard looks absolutely fine and i didnt knew that any brand provides this so i already made a same change through a local veldor guy costing only Rs.250. overall the your bike now looks awesome.
Very nice modification jobs. I have also changed the handlebar to RD and have done the same stickering work on the speedometer console. Not sure about the practicality of the front headlight grill but wouldn't that decrease the illumination of the light (not in a considerable amount but still)? What kind of paint job have you done on the front suspension? Also check Apache's mirror, it looks better and have littile more visibility than the stock one. And why not have the aux light as a backup incase the chinese headlight gives up? Coincidentally I have the "I don't trash my travel" at the same place as you. 😁 Happy Riding.
love the modifications you've done,.., i would like to recommend, to still use an auxiliary fog lamp as a back up ..,.just in case!! #tollfreetraveller
@Rohit, tastefully done mods and Faith looks more svelte and purpose built than before. I'm much interested in the handlebar you chose. When time permits, would you care to comment on how it fares as compared to the stock butterflies? Looking forward to your next journey and its story! God bless, godspeed, ride safe! Peace.
You could have changed the exhaust, a performance exhaust like Red Rooster Performance, a Performance Spark Plug like NGK Iradium, and tuning carb for more air fuel ratio would make increase in performance!
Hi bro, nice mods. I have made some changes in my bullet std 350. Front has become alot lighter . My handle wobbles lot on 80-90kmph since there is more weight on rear end. Could u pls guide me how do I reduce excess weight on rear and balance it with front end. Also am keen to make my bike more like scrambler . Pls share ur inputs for DIY on this. Keep up the good work ✌️👍.
Royal Enfield surely brings out the mechanic in one....
Lol
This guy doesn't waste time. He starts immediately with clear and crisp information. Sound quality is good. Technical aspects are cleared with good reasons. Bro, keep it up.
Thank you!!

You and gopro man are two of my favorite people, so modest, minimalist and interesting .All the best for your rides :)
The major attraction is not the byke it is you.you make things look so easy ....❤️
Getting myself a Thunderbird. This really helped me with sorting out what I wanted on my bike!
2 years before i met with a minor crash on my Thunderbird with those RD handle bar( after market ) and i found out that those handle bars got bend and i had to cancel that journey .

J k woooww thanks, I was wondering if Himalayan handlebars could have been possible
I don't think even RE handle bars are strong enough. I was using my stock handle bar(Now i have RD) until i met with a minor accident.

What about vibrations as compared to stock handlebar? Do you feel more vibrations on RD style than stock handlebar?
Your are not alone to cut short your journey there are several RE owners.
@@amitinchal77 that is something I m baffled about too. I think yes. Pls let me know what have you found on it
one of the best practical stuff done onto a TB, I have ever seen at least. Waiting for your travel videos eagerly
Sweet, Minimalistic, Classy and Elegant..as always my friend..👍
I have watch you in videos
The bike is looking great now, very utilitarian, ready for the road. Well done!
Never going to take an Enfield..but watched the whole video to listen to his simple and neat presentation
Awesome video as always, you know how to keep things simple, always to the point, concise and precise.

If u own an RE u will become a mechanic...Gr8 mods very practical..
RE owners are the true helpers of mechanics.
nice additions, for me I would have put larger hand guards on because I don't like wet hands and I like to ride with lighter gloves but you have those cool gloves which I like the looks of, the fork gaiters are a wise addition, good job
I bought thunderbird after watching your rides back in 2017,still love the bike, except vibrations
Bro please make a video on the basics every RE guy should know so that he can work on the bike when faced with a problem on the road.
All i want to say is you have a clearer explanation than the rest of the youtube.
Thank you
What a crisp video!
Also your mods make 100 times more sense than the RE Trials!
First of all . First time in utube really frank video which is usefull. Instead of modification and crap things.. Very detailed approach. Appreciated. Btw please pass through the shop names in chennai pudupet.
One of the most simplistic and best modification video on internet...please provide the buying link
Best Indian vlogger... Infact one of the best vloggers in world
Mindblowing changes. And faith looks awesoome . Surely faith will repay your work. ❤️❤️❤️
Looks great ! Just one suggestion, try to get rid of the bend pipe wrap.. it traps the heat that needs to be released and may damage the pipe in long run
RD 350 handlebars rules anyday. Comfortable in all kinds of roads. Hope to see you on NERM this year
its a gud thng u chose to work on ur bike urself rather than handing it over to some random mechanic.
ths bike is going to b a very special part of ur life.
Takes a lot of patience to put up with the Thunderbird. Especially the 500. I had a 350, 2013, sold it without regrets for an interceptor.
Coolest travel vloger on earth,May be overwhelming,but thats the truth 😎
Best modification i have ever seen, simple, elegant and classy. Nice job bro. I wish to do same on my TB350.😀
"It has a saree guard. So all is good" the things that cops look out for to determine the road worthiness of bikes 🤣
It's really superb and elegant i also loved the way your your self worked on it, one small feed back from my end is that the wind visor would look good and eventually protect you from the wind blast. Also gives an amazing look to the bike
12:44 is going down as my new desktop wallpaper ❤️

Watched the intro ... paused... hit like.... played the rest ..... loving it
Modified lights like these will put tremendous strain on people driving from opposite side. We need to be considerate about them.
Good command of English bro .. keep it up. Excellent info video btw .... It's a YES from me.....!!!
Very realistic and awesomeeeee....
Clear cut no nonsense straight to the point
Good decision with the battery ,exides are super awful ,I've changed it twice in a year on my 350,I recently switched to amco because of this...love the way you've revamped the motorcycle ....looking forward to more great content from you
Faith is looking lovely...
Art of motorcycle i heard junaid bhai we love u too
I'm into modifying my Thunderbird 2017 with meteor right , left mount switch assembly with its master cylinder meteors headlight assembly and finally meteors digital speedometer with GPS
You did a nice job explaining what you did and why you did it - and I like your thoughts about the new battery. . The headlight grill is not giving me any love but everything else on your bike looks great. Thanks for sharing.
😍😍😍😍 glad to see you back sir...... your Thunderbird 👌👌👌
Eagerly waiting your travel vlogs.
It’s looking something different and attractive
Keep doing rock on roads

Sweet. Keep some cable ties and lock ur fork gaters so no dirt goes inside.
rohith bhai faith is awesome even i have similar modifications on my thunderbird back rest an all. rohith bhai great job . bhai your a inspiration for me . this is your big fan from hyderabad.
Everything you have changed was good and smart but I absolutely missed that original backrest which comes up with the thunderbirds pillion seat
I think we're ready to go now!! But, to where? In these summer months, with the monsoon about to land. Hopefully, the answers await in the next episode! Waiting for the ride to start.
Actually the bike major attraction is headlight and headlight grills ..👍🏼and handlebar also looks perfect to the bike.....🤘🏼
Coolest Biker of India 🇮🇳 🔥🔥🔥👍💯💥
Just can't wait for the travel vlogs bro!! 👍
Slick!!!! Can't wait to see Faith 2.0 in action!
Surely Bhai deserves 1million
MODIFICATIONS PART WERE UR POINT OF VIEW WAS COOL
Waiting eagerly for the day when the bike is loaded with the new saddle bags and tank bag 😃 It's gonna rockkkk 😍
Toll free traveller ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Just ensure wiring are done all propely for the headlight not wire cut or touching the body of bike . My suggestion carry a small pair of extra light
That's neat. Can't believe you did all of that on your own.
Just in case you need some more practice, I have a Classic 350, it needs some love as well. 😜.
Regards
Joy.
Hi bro I need that trail rack where I can get it
handlebars put geniune ones .. they bend or sometimes even break .. #ridesafe
Bike looks amazing and looks more proportionate witjout any major mods... great job
awesome modification..it's too good..presently im having TB350, and planning to do the same...thanks for this wonderful idea...
It's great that you do the work yourself. Your bike looks simply elegant. Have you found any difference in handlebar vibrations WRT to original one? I have Bullet 500 and handlebar vibrations are tremendous.
Your videos are really inspiring. Thanks
I am not sure, but the front tyre is put opposite direction, just make sure the direction, I am guessing with the thread pattern.
Brothers Tell me the place where you did modification. Really impressed with your modification
I have done similar changes in mt TB for long ride .things which u could have added are :
1 . Touring seat
2. Full length foor pegs
3. A mobile charger and a metal mobile holder
4. A top boz
5. Tank protection lamination
6. Perfomance airfileter and spark plugs
Faith is looking more better now Bro ....👌👍
Hi Solance is a VRLA battery (Lead-Acid) battery. Very few make 14AH battery - other than Exide it would be Sonic & Tata
It's nice u
work on ur bike to some extent
I try my best
looks awesome mate! cant wait for the next travel videos!
Bhai.. An advice.... Please shoot with adequate sun light....whole effort gone for six...
good 😊communication skills.
One of best & simple vlog. Keep up the good work.
TB 500 IS BEAST MACHINE
Cost cutting expenses, reliable and making the touring comfortable. Wonderful information!!!friend 👌👌👌
Those power leds are tend to overheat and blow up in a short time due to poor or no ventilation in your headlight so think again before you put yourself on a long trip.
Outstanding bro loved it ……Alex
Super brother... Simple yet astonishing.... That's how #TFT influence...
Your video reg ladhak carrier (how to pack luggage) was very useful for me. I would like to see a video with this new saddle stay too
It's fabulous modification 🤙
Cheap Chinese LEDs was not a good choice. It scatters light and can distract drivers coming from opposite side. This could be dangerous and may lead to fatal accidents.
True
Awesome brother doing great job and inspire people to do them by own
I hope you wont have any problems with that handle bar. The bike as a whole looks dope.😎
Pumped up for tour of 2019👍
HEARD the head lamps cost less in delhi area, the luggage idea was new man
although ur saddle guard looks absolutely fine and i didnt knew that any brand provides this so i already made a same change through a local veldor guy costing only Rs.250. overall the your bike now looks awesome.
Nice mods , sensible and makes the bike look better. I thought u were from Bangalore, though the bike is Mumbai registered
Nice job
Very nicely explained
Very nice modification jobs.

How does a tube less tyre work on a spoke wheel????
Would the inner tube hold up in case something pierce the tyre all the way through? 🤔
If you use inner tube in tubeless tyre.. if got any puntcher air will leak wia Mouth of the tube
love the modifications you've done,.., i would like to recommend, to still use an auxiliary fog lamp as a back up ..,.just in case!! #tollfreetraveller
Bro..be careful with the headlights...it may give you some headache..be prepared
Legal issues?
@@SoorajKBabu yes .and also it may stop working after a while
@Rohit, tastefully done mods and Faith looks more svelte and purpose built than before. I'm much interested in the handlebar you chose. When time permits, would you care to comment on how it fares as compared to the stock butterflies? Looking forward to your next journey and its story! God bless, godspeed, ride safe! Peace.
Yours is the only TB I like, amazing video Rohith, you are a minimilist, make a video on the minimilsm.
You could have changed the exhaust, a performance exhaust like Red Rooster Performance, a Performance Spark Plug like NGK Iradium, and tuning carb for more air fuel ratio would make increase in performance!
You should change the mirror too , avenger mirrors are excellent fit
Great going Bro.
