I live in Switzerland and I plan to buy a Himalayen. I looked at many reports on UA-cam to find out more about this motorcycle. Your video about the additional equipment is really very informative! Thanks for that!
The most comprehensive review on accessories for this motorbike…. Thank you very much.. There’s me thinking as I search for 2022 Himalayan thinking okay £3500 UK should do it, but then I’ll probably do what you have done is load it up with several kilos of expensive accessories. Hahaha….. maybe I’ll just be selective on the one’s that is really essential for me. Thank you very much. Oh, and just to say I’m returning to motorcycling after a 20 year lay off…. I had a couple of re-engineered BSA 650’s back in the day, which were extremely reliable and trouble-free, and I like the old style of riding…. Don’t get me wrong I’ve ridden a Suzuki 900, CBR600R and a couple of her others in my time, but I do love these older style functioning bikes that are more accessible for self maintenance and also back here in the UK. All local roads (Wales & Scotland>to a lesser extent
The standard royal enfield engine guard is surprisingly sturdy. Mine deflected a deer and saved my ankle. I will still be replacing them with a 3 point mounted set like yours. Little extra never hurt.
Stoked on this man, thank you for sharing. I have the same bike, same year, same colorway! Got it a few months ago and sitting at 1200 miles right now. Happy to join the RE family.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I truly appreciate your kind words and the valuable information you provided. Your comments and the links you shared were extremely helpful in enhancing the description.
Similar additions to mine, I love the doubletake mirrors. I would Throw the RE hand guards away, they snap off if you drop the bike. Acerbis make a decent set that fits with minimal bending and clamps onto the bars as well as using the factory bar weights. If you fitted the spacers that came with the RE protectors, toss them and refit the original bar weights. You will find out why when your arms go numb from the vibration. Another great addition is the SRC top plate for the rear carrier, allows you to strap on bags a lot easier. I run kriega bags and have the kriega panels attached to the plannier frames. US30 each side and a 20 on the top, with an additional 5 on top of the 20 that holds my wet weather leggings.
That is one handsome big boy's mule! You remind me of an older neighbor I had as a kid. He got a brand new (green, my fav color) Raleigh 3 spd with a rat trap, streamers, mudflaps and a light that generated power off the wheel. Having a one speed I kept updating with a can of paint, I was envious as hell. Now that I can afford all the goodies, I'm too lazy to do anything about it. lol 😆
I am back from a 2.500 km trip crossing Germany and Austria with my 2021 Himalayan. I have add a chain oiler and I have change the stock seat. The most things you have add on your bike I use also.
Hi. I’m too am from Wisconsin and am about to purchase my first motorcycle. Having an excruciating time deciding between the Himalayan and a few other midsized ADVs. What do you think so far? Let me guess - you love it!
For me the top 3 essential mods are. Upgrading the front brake master cylinder which hugely improves the braking, and a new exhaust and lithium battery which helps reduce weight a lot. You have added a lot of weight which really isn't what you want tbh.
Can't wait to get all my accessories/upgrades on my new bike. That looks like a fun ride been out on the back roads/ gravel roads between Hayward and thorp already.
Great vid. Thanks, I put Schinko 805 tires on mine, no road noise an very happy with them on off road. Used a 130 on the back and it works fine. Cheers
Have fun on the Trans Wisconsin, the Himmi is perfect for the job. I had hoped to do it again this year but it will be on the list for ‘22. We will be up around Delta playing in the sand at the end of September. 22k on my white 2018
Great bike!!! You have everything but a mounted machine gun! I was looking at the 2022 KLR 650 but lately I have been watching videos about the Royal Enfield. I don’t know what which one I should buy.
The KLR is a great bike for the money also. All depends what you want to do with it. The only drawback to the Himalayan is the power at higher speeds. Makes passing and highway speeds a challenge. For back roads and what it is built for though it is a joy to ride.
I was watching itchyboots who had them on her Honda CRF Rally 300. She dropped her bike and it broke at the mirror where it transitions to the ram mount. I think a cheaper solution is needed if the double takes are just as prone to breakage as anything else. I like all of the rest of your accessories.
Thanks for your comment! I love watching Itchyboots. I have been down twice so far and no issues but I imagine if they are hit just right they will break. I feel the functionality is worth the risk of them breaking.
Just found your channel and I'd like to say: that video is really great.In 2024 I wanna make a trip through the USA by bike. Do you someone who lends a motorcycle like the Himalayan at the Eastcoast or somewhere? Best wishes from Germany
Not quite sure why you need a bigger screen, or indeed any screen on a Himmy. Top speed 70 mph, or if you're riding off-road, actual speeds on this bike will be a lot less. Especially carrying luggage. Thanks for the tips though, the rear-brake master cylinder guard is definitely a 'must'. Love and peace.
I like what you have done to your bike. But now that time has passed a little... The hand guards... As they are open on the inside... Do they catch vegetation when you wander in tall grass or tight forest trail? In the old days also at least for the types that tied only to the inside, they could crush your hand if you hit a tree or fell to the side and turning in... I would apreciate your input in this as you now have them for a while. Cheers!
I could see that happening but I have not had an issue with that. I didn't have it in super tall grass etc but plenty of tight trails and it was totally fine.
Between the hand guards and the taller windshield, how effective is it in blocking the wind? Keep in mind I'm coming from a Goldwing. Would it be half as effective, 3/4 effective of a Goldwing? Blocking the wind is important and yours does look effective. I ride mine to work but it doesn't get the mileage. Now the total cost to change tires is up to $700 and they don't even last 2 years. Seriously wanting to sell it and get a set up like yours.
Just curious, I’ve been tempted by the H for a while. The one thing lots of people say about it is that the brakes are not very good, how do you find them? If they are weak is there a recognised upgrade? For me that would be an essential upgrade.
I would recommend that you take a test ride. I have never found the brakes to be an issue. I have heard a lot of people say that they are bad but I never found that to be true.
Nicely done, great content. I've been considering picking one of these up now that I live in the Pacific NW, so many cool roads, but I'm still kinda on the fence spec-wise. Price point is so tempting and there is endless after market shit for it...I dunno. Thanks, and cheers!
Looking to add one of these to my collection.. I'm in northern Ohio and wanting to do some adventure trips. Get ahold of me, maybe we could meet up sometime!
Hello mi friend, I have REH 2021 here in Mexico, in Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico, where you get the magnetic 🧲 bag tank, I hope you can help me, greetings from Michoacán Mexico colleague, I like your video and your beautiful machine, looks great 👍👍👍😁😁😁, thanks again and take care my peer
The bag is a Nelson-Rigg bag. Not sure where to get it online but I'm sure it can be found. I bought it from my dealer when I got the bike because it was on clearance sale.
Nice ,nice motorcycle mate. I would love to get me a Himalayan bike but I've only seen it on videos. I am 6 feet tall and I am wondering if it's kind of low for for me
Love SRCMOTO!!! Got a bunch of their high quality products as well on my Hima! You got some great accessories!! Great vid! Curious, why the water tank (for drinking or something else?)
Great video! I am however concerned with the gas and water can location! I’m looks good but if you ever dump that bike on the sides I fear it would break those plastic jugs open! But like I said looks cool and great video!
Thank you! The fuel and water jugs are fairly robust but yes that is a concern of mine as well. I have been down on both sides and so far no damage to the jugs.
You're welcome. I have not absolutely needed the fuel but it's really nice piece of mind to have it. The water has been a life saver as I get dehydrated pretty easily and can never have to much water on board.
Very helpful video thank you for the info. I was just wondering where are you got the tank pad protectors and the windscreen just got my Himalayan thank you
Thank’s for the video and the advices, really very interesting. One question: is the wind-screen you’ve mounted fully compatible with the lever protections (does it allow for full movement of the steering)? I’m asking because I also have the original ones and I want to change the original wind~screen as it gets all the air on neck and helmet. Who’s producing the one you got? Thank’s again and best regards from Italy
A lot of them had an issue with stalling a few times on initial starting when cold. The throttle position sensor was part of the issue and can be adjusted. Mine had a little of that but the powertronic tuner I installed with the pipe completely fixed that issue.
HAVE THE SAME BIKE, BUT IT IS GRANITE IN COLOR SCHEME. IS THAT METAL GUARD THAT IS ON THE EXHAUST PIPE TO PROTECT YOUR SADDLEBAGS? I USE THE RE METAL PANNIERS-BLACK TYPE. I LIKE THE CHANGE TO THE KNOBBYS- I BOUGHT SOME METZELER TYPE OF OFF-ROAD TIRES. HAVE NOT HAVE THEM MOUNTED, YET. AM STILL BREAKING IN THE ENGINE-180 OR SO MILES..... THANKS- JOHN IN CO.
Love from India, your himalayan is an absolute beauty
Best looking Himalayan I've ever seen.

Wow, you must have spent as much on the bike as it cost you to by! Great list of extras though.
The standard royal enfield engine guard is surprisingly sturdy. Mine deflected a deer and saved my ankle.
I will still be replacing them with a 3 point mounted set like yours. Little extra never hurt.

@@playallnight I use a cobrra nemo 2 chain oiler. I send the saddle to a saddlery to add 2cm silicon for more comfort.
I just bought a 2021, planning on spending time on the Trans Wisconsin Trail. Time to start the upgrades, your video is really helpful!
Hi. I’m too am from Wisconsin and am about to purchase my first motorcycle. Having an excruciating time deciding between the Himalayan and a few other midsized ADVs. What do you think so far? Let me guess - you love it!
I do really like the Himalayan but I understand there are a lot of great options these days.

keep making more of these, your doing a great job, loved the mods.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video. Love the old instrument cluster without the trip meter
Random shout-out from Wisconsin.
Hello! Where in Wisconsin?

how much weight did you manage to save with the battery and the exhust? How much does it cost? and where can i find them for myself!!!
Awesome looking bike. ❤
Great video! You had a few surprises there that I enjoyed! I’ve got a 22’ that is Lake Blue! I love it! Cheers!
Can't wait to get all my accessories/upgrades on my new bike. That looks like a fun ride been out on the back roads/ gravel roads between Hayward and thorp already.
the most beautiful himalayan so far! good job!
Thank you very much!
The standard royal enfield engine guard is surprisingly sturdy. Mine deflected a deer and saved my ankle.
Awesome! Glad you are ok
Really like what you are doing with this bike. Loads of good detail thanks.
Thank you very much!

You didn’t mention the GoPro mount attached to the mirror. I’ve been thinking about a similar setup. Great video. Thanks.
Thank you!
Good video. I'm thinking of buying one of these bikes and I didn't know these accessories are available for it.
great video with excellent coverage of available accessories.
Thank you very much!
A trip to the hardware store will find your fender riser solution.
Man your bike looks absolutely awesome, I was Looking at the black or light silver bike, but love this darker silver. Great accessories review
Thank you very much! Enjoy
Very nice video! I'm going to look at a used 2020 Himalayan tomorrow so this was very helpfull!
Thank you!
i think Mr. LAL supposed to see this video ....before update himalayan in 2024 because we want those accessories from company
Good info. Just knowing about SRC Moto is a big help. Thanks.
FYI if you adjust the throttle position sensor you can get rid of that cold start issue

I advice you to turn the jerry cans around, looks a bit better i think. Great bike
Lol, might wanna specify which side that comment applies to.
Im a bit jealous , you opened the Himalayan catalog and hit select all.
I was watching itchyboots who had them on her Honda CRF Rally 300. She dropped her bike and it broke at the mirror where it transitions to the ram mount. I think a cheaper solution is needed if the double takes are just as prone to breakage as anything else. I like all of the rest of your accessories.

Looks like a good setup!
Great bike, and great accesories !!!!

I wish that was my lawn. It is a neighborhood park lol
The 12v socket and 2usb port from which company ? And can we buy online because that's looks good
Thanks. It is from SRC MOTO in the US and yes you can order online.

Damn good lookin machine.
Can't wait to get one and go crazy with add-ons. Thanks for the awesome list of goodies.
Hello sir where you able to get one? How’s it?
Awesome mods to an awesome bike!

It looks great. But still, give it a 100-150 cc more. It would be nice if it had 50 hp and 65 Nm and I would be sould on it
I hope they’ll make a 650cc Himalayan.
Well done. This is great information. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Excelente vídeo
Thank you!
Love the mods man! What is the front tire you’re using??
Himalayan comes with a usb charging port - well hidden behind a waterproof cap under left mirror mount. Free if you can find it!
Only the last edition 411, from mid 2022 - current.
The earlier editions didn't have.
Looking to add one of these to my collection.. I'm in northern Ohio and wanting to do some adventure trips. Get ahold of me, maybe we could meet up sometime!
That would be great!

Very helpful video thank you for the info. I was just wondering where are you got the tank pad protectors and the windscreen just got my Himalayan thank you
Hello. I got most of the accessories from Hitchcocks in the UK
Nice ❤️
Thanks!
Great set up!!! What about the exhaust pipe? Did you upgrade that? And the heat shields on the exhaust?
Thanks! It is a Delkevic exhaust and the heat shield is from Giant Loop and came with my soft panniers.
Looks great. Those knobby tires really give it a different look and I like it. Is the back tire a size bigger?
Thanks. I think it is a few mm wider but fits fine.
Thank’s for the video and the advices, really very interesting. One question: is the wind-screen you’ve mounted fully compatible with the lever protections (does it allow for full movement of the steering)? I’m asking because I also have the original ones and I want to change the original wind~screen as it gets all the air on neck and helmet. Who’s producing the one you got?

I have the hitchcocks fuel tank mounts and the same white water jug, what plate under the screw do you use to keep the white tank firmly in place
I made a piece out of some aluminum stock that I had. Works great.
Hello bro will Re Himalayan 411 cc bike discontinue in coming 2024 after launch 650 cc Himalayan bike?????????
Those tires look mean
The bike looks great 👍. Ride safe. How would the bike feel when you come from a higher cc?
It's going to feel slow lol. However it is like a tractor with a lot of torque. Not fast but fun!
Great video. How much higher is the fender with the riser kit you are using. Thanks
It is only about an inch
Thank you very much!
@@MSMAdventures Thanks
What is the capacity of the container for water and extra petrol ? Thanks for the video and take care.
I believe about 3l.
Which cargo net did you get, there are so many of them? Also how was the Trans Wisconsin Trail? I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about it.
What tires are those?
Great video damn your 20 grand bike is dialed in!!! 😉Any recurring mechanical issues on your 2021?
Thx mate
Lol thanks! No major issues at all. It's a great bike. I have recently bought another bike but the Himalayan is a great little bike for what it is.
What was all the talk about starting/ installing issues?
A lot of them had an issue with stalling a few times on initial starting when cold. The throttle position sensor was part of the issue and can be adjusted. Mine had a little of that but the powertronic tuner I installed with the pipe completely fixed that issue.

The saddle bag protector is from giant loop. Thanks for watching and enjoy the bike!
Can I know what is the name of the tyre/tire
Because it look good and I have to change it
Sorry for the late reply. Rear is Dunlop D606. Front is a Pirelli MT 21.
