    Nice vid about all the mods you’ve done to the Himmy.
    Brilliantly presented Jeff; really enjoyed it.
    I used to oil my chain every day when I was Instructing during the winter months, salt and all the crap on winter roads can destroy any chain in no time if neglected.
    I use EP 80/90 gear box oil as recommended by Honda, works a treat for me.

      try an electronic pd oiler from the UK (they do international shipping) and work brilliantly ..but, just looked and they have upped the price from £105 for the prestige model that i paid 2 weeks ago to £139.99 :(
      but still alot cheaper than the electronic scott oiler at £200 -£250 :D

    Hi Ronin: I really want to thank you for this video-not specifically about the modifications, but casually mentioning you're 6-2! That was my stumbling block about this fantastic little bike! I had the feeling that it would be too cramped, and too underpowered, but you totally changed my mind! Both my wife & I are going to look at them tomorrow, and most likely, purchase them right then. I was thinking I had to settle for a new KLR due to my height. Not that the KLR's a bad bike, but I really LOVE the styling and endurance of the little Himalayan, as well as the available colors. The shop has both the red and the granite black, so this is going to be a very hard choice! Thanks again!!!

We're picking them up on the 20th. I'll still need the pillion & seat to be modified a little so I can sit further toward the rear with my long legs, but with changing the angles of the brake/shift pedals, it'll be great. Thanks again!

    One thing I learned doing basically the same types of projects you're doing to the same bike this week: If you order all these parts from Indian Ebay sellers, you'll never run out of oil filters & seals.
    Heckin cool mods, and it's been neat to see that someone else is in the same mood I am with their black '18 Himalayan this year. Waiting on my OEM touring seat and taller tinted windscreen, as well as fuel/water can mounts for the front (bought my bike used, so all the OEM panniers came on it!). Still, really what I want isn't panniers, it's a "custom" welded ladakh carrier to haul around a dozen chicken cages...you know, if it comes up... And I need to get my hands on a Sari guard for less than a fortune. For the ladies 🤣!.

      Sintered EBC bronze coloured pads work great, but be warned, if you're off road, the front brakes can be a bit too good with them fitted. One of the Yamaha models fit the front. Theres info on that online. The brakes on my new one are not nice, but getting better, I did have the ABS working on the rear coming home yesterday. Fronts are still mushy but getting more feel to them as they bed in. Certainly much better than the 2019 brakes were for feel.

    Nice list of mods Ronin. They sure add up. I have got the LED headlight, brush guards, heated grips and bar brace to do as well. No pannier frame yet.
    Black bolts might be taking it a bit too far, can anybody say "perfectionist chrome polisher Harley Owner"?....you don't have black spray paint there? Sorry, just had to get in a cheap shot hehehehe. I agree tho, a silver bolt head in the middle of a black frame and bracket just looks cheap. Much better looking with the black bolts.
    I cheated and have made my front guard spacers myself, (ok, ok, I'm old and cheap) I used 4 x 20 mm TV wall mount metal spacers left over from when i mounted the TV and 4 screws from the local hardware shop. Painted the screw heads black myself.
    I would recommend you look at the SRC skid plate and rear suspension linkage guard before doing the big trip, the factory one just isn't solid enough I have bent my new one already, and i've only had it a day... rode off a kerb and bellied it. The SRC pan fits the Givi engine bars too
    It also protects the exhaust where it heads back along the side of the frame. Looks like I'm fitting it sooner than I anticipated, was hoping to do it after the first service.
    I have also added a protective screen on the oil cooler, where I ride theres lots of forestry slash and last thing I need is a stick thru the cooler like I got on the 2019. That factory guard is almost useless, its very soft steel.. Fit a decent stainless guard.
    Toss a castor protector under the rear seat too (or in a bag) they work great in soft ground and are hard rubber. Don't know what you guys call them, but grab one or 2 for the side stand, one day you will realise why I suggested it. Cheaper than the aftermarket foot adapter too
    heres a link to a local shop here that sells them so you know what i'm talking about as my Americanese isn't all that great

    another great video
    I like Hitchcock's
    but I don't like those those bags
    I really think they are NOT of very good good quality
    they are not waterproof
    the zip zippers are NOT the best quality (not even 50% of the quality that should be on a motorcycle)
    I bought them and put them on and then took them off
    please be careful when putting bottles of water or a dozen eggs eggs in there because I'd be afraid the Velcro, the way it is stitched.... IT WOULD TEAR fairly easily
    I would have rather paid more for something of higher quality
    not even sure I will use them
    kind of sad about them, actually
    you know how much i love your channel
    had the first service done on mine yesterday
    she's a wonderful bike
