- Away from all the tuning debate, the higher touring Handlebar kit with longer throttle and clutch cables is a worthwhile addition to the higher touring saddle. I bought this kit on eBay from Royalmotors for £66 delivered to the UK in 4 Days! and is definitely genuine RE parts here is the link;
www.ebay.co.uk...
for the money a good improvement!
Sadly 10 minutes of footage is missing when the Go pro shut down from overheating -never had this from my HERO 10 cameras but was the older camera and wondering if the camera is reaching the end of its life - it has done a lot of recording!, anyways you only miss unbolting and swapping the bars and control levers!
Nicely done, only tricky bit for me was getting the left hand grip off - I found GT85 and the fine straw helped. Definitely more comfortable with the higher bar, especially if you have the touring seat.
I swapped my cam shaft for the Hagon shocks with damping adjustment - it's now supremely comfortable and the last mod I'll be doing except maybe a memory foam seat insert at a later date.
Hi Sid, my Go Pro overheated and i lost 20mins footage which included using a star screwdriver and WD40 with straw same as you say you did, i then sprayed it inside with brake cleaner to de grease it, then used brake cleaner to slip in back onto the new bars 😁👍
Morning Bruce, again the beauty of these bikes is that you can get to everything, they're so easy to work on , and there's enough excess length in the handlebar switch wiring to allow for different bars 👍
I changed the bars on my SV650 and the wiring and brake hose and cables was a bit of a stretch ,but just about do able without having to replace everything,
Cheers Mel
Hi Mel, yep easy to work on is another appeal of these bikes 😁👍
Love your jeep Bruce 😊
Thanks 👍 😁🏴👍
Just raised my Hunters handle bars by 30mm, feels much better, did not have to change the cables though!
Good to know cables long enough Tony 😁👍
Thank you Bruce! Congratulations for the superb carpet for the JEEP and the perfect order of the garage👍🏼👏🏼 Handlebar height has to match the bike and seat heights . I have risers on my Himalayan because the suspensions are 20mm higher then stock (Ölins springs and tops for the fork and YSS + short link kit from Hitchcocks rear) and the seat too. This solves the side stand problem too because the bike is more inclined. And I think you are right to keep the 15 teeth so you can use the more "peps" from the engine improvements! Finally, even in Scotland, you have to buy tropicalised cameras 🤣😂 I laugh, but here in Switzerland it will be 35°C for the next 3 days 🥵🥵🥵 We will have to climb over 6000 ft with the Jeep, the best for the wind , don't you think so ?😃
Hi not often the tenps here are so hot the camera shuts down but it was unusually humid!
6000 ft a good height to climb in a Jeep! 😁👍
Hi Bruce funny video, but got the message over and the bars look good. I also returned to standard gearing as I found it better for long hills. BUT was contemplating fitting the extra tooth sprocket as i am doing longer runs at 60mph. I wish the fuel gauge was a little more accurate and reliable, I seem to fly through fuel. Unless the fuelX lite is making it use more. Or even the D&A air filter?
Hi David, someone on my films mentioned the Fuel X lite and asked if i would consider disconnecting it and post my findings? So maybe i should and see? 🧐😁👍👍
@Coastriderscotland yeah I think I may disconnect mine and see but would be amazing to see your results. I haven't actually done any real world mpg checks tbh. I just thought the gauge readings move very quickly.
Great, now another thing I want to buy! Sounds like great value though. I didn't know the Bullet was higher as standard but I guess it makes sense with the seat being a little further back, I'll have to think about that 🤫
😁👍
Good video. Is this taller than the bullet 350 handlebar?
Hi i am not sure the touring bar is higher than the new Bullet bar - i think it is the same but would need to get measurements of both to compare 😁
@Coastriderscotland thanks for the reply.
All these mods better to have a go as not at all....some work some don't simple as that ...ps I've sent this vid to my mate who bought my 350....😈he'll probs want bars as hez got all sorts of mods on it watching you😂 loves the bike ....I'm still happy with my 2nd himalayan..👌.atb .....
Been fun playing around with the bike, i still lust for a Scram 411 as a second bike while friend Trav wants a Himi to go alongside his 500 Bullet 😁👍
Hi Bruce, great video. Were there any problems with the brake hose or is there plenty of free play? Cheers, Colin
Hi Colin, Brake hose is long enough so no problems with fitting the Touring bars 👍😁
Cheers Bruce
@@Coastriderscotland Cheers mate.
Hey off topic for this video…..but did you make a video on installing the front mudflap? Drilling the holes, etc?
Hi, i think i dod do it in one of the films, sharpy to mark holes then 4mm drill from memory! 😁👍
👍😉yeah!
😁👍👍👍
Is there an improvement in the view in the rear view mirrors?
Hi, yes i see less of my shoulders now 👍👍
I didn't think these bikes could get any more comfortable. Leave it to you lol . 😅🥃
Me neither Lance! 😜🥃👍
Did you really need the longer cables?
Hi, they came with the bars as the kit for £66 delivered so i fitted them 😁
Taller handlebars and seat ? Aye, auld age doesnae come itsel'....
Why yes, I do have bar risers and softer "touring" seat on my NC750X however did you guess ?
(If someone would hurry up and design a bifocal instrument panel I would be very grateful.)
Hi Carl, you would be onto something with bi focal instrument panel 😜😁👍
