2021 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 - Fireball Yellow
Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Black Airfly Evo Engine Guard
Electronic torque wrench - amzn.to/3PZZm3H
just did the install today right after watching your video. Thanks.
Thank you very much for posting this. I just got a Fireball Yellow Meteor 350 two weeks ago, and my Airfly Evo engine guard arrived today from an eBay seller in India, but without instructions. Your video was great, and allowed me to take care of the installation.
The only minor concern I had was that there's a stiff wire loop that guides the clutch cable, which is held in place by one bolt in that upper area, and the very end of the guide is bent, such that it enters the other hole. I wound up snipping off that bent part at the very end, and, as the factory did, putting the loop part of the guide underneath the bolt head (on top of the engine guard piece), as it was before. I was also puzzled why I was sent three of the very large washers; I only used two of them, the way you did.
Thanks again for a very useful video. The RE community owes you a beer or something.
Thanks for the video, just fitted the same bars to my meteor. The instructions in the box were printed very faintly and very small so this was a big help!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks
Just bought my own Meteor 350 and went with the octagon engine guard for it. The instructions that came with it were laughably tiny, like business card size in a 1 pt. font! Royal Enfield, please, couldn't you have even tried? So your video here helped a lot, thank you. Also dug you Ferris Bueller reference - cheers!
Yes, the instructions were ridiculously tiny and useless. Glad the video helped and nice to see people say long enough to see me do a goofy bueller reference 😜
Your video inspired me to order an engine guard. I reviewed it again today then went out in the garage and installed it. Your video was an excellent compliment to the instructions. I ordered the chrome version and after checking, installing, rechecking. and reinstalling everything seven ways to Sunday I noticed the bars are not exactly parallel to the ground. It is not a big deal but it does rub my slight OCD the wrong way just a little. :-) Again, thanks for the video!
Yep, a misalignment like that would be biting me everyday.
Same with the pannier racks I just got. Fortunately, the bags cover the un-eveness up.
That batman bell is awesome!
Sweet, works with the air fly, like 1:1
Thanks for posting this! I was nervous about ordering one of these even though I wanted to because I'm not super handy, but your video made me think I could manage to install this thing so I've ordered one now. It's so hard to get accessories for the meteor in the US, for some reason!
I'm glad this was able to inspire you to try it. It is a pretty easy install. I'm sure you will be happy with the results.
Great video! just got the stainless Trapezium bars for my Classic 350, ( same fitting as Meteor ) as other posters have noted, the instructions are tiny, but if you go on the Indian Website, full instructions can be downloaded, six A4 pages with really good pictures.
The parts list is wrong in the instructions, they say four 16mm long bolts and two 12mm, it should be the other way round.
Incidentally ( Jan 2023 ) for anyone in the UK, Moto GB who were the importers of Royal Enfield ( R E are having their own import business now) seem to be selling off all their accessories at about 25% discount, so a good place to buy from. Ride safe
Good information on those discounts.
Thanks for posting this! I'm thinking about getting engine guards for my bike too, but I haven't decided which ones to get yet. Hitchcock's Motorcycles in the UK carries everything Royal Enfield; they carry three or four different ones, and I haven't decided which ones I want yet. BTW, I have the same bike as you: the RE Fireball Yellow Meteor 350.
The Fireball Yellow is a cool color for sure! Thanks for watching.
Super helpful!! Thank you so much 😊
Appreciate the video. The tiny instructions that came with the engine guard were impossible to read, so your video was perfect for me. I’m curious about the torque wrench you used. What make/model is it? I’m looking for one with an audible beep, but can’t seem to find.
I just added a link to a similar one on amazon. I use this torque wrench all of the time. It is a great tool to have.
Bonne vidéo de montage ....Merci..
merci d'avoir regardé et les gentils mots
Thanks for the video. I am considering this for my Meteor, but am worried if it will be to wide. I need to get it through a narrow door for parking. How wide is it when mounted?
Sehr hilfreich, auf Deutsch wäre schön aber die Meteor 350 ist wohl noch zu neu.. Ich habe sie...
I think they are a good add. Are parts available in Germany for the bike?
Hi, nice informative video! Do you think you could use these bars as forward footrests, either with or without bolt on pegs?
I would think it would work for that.
Hi there! Great video but my question is around the wee batman bell you have hanging at the very bottom! What is that all about as I am VERY interested! :) Cheers!
It is a gremlin bell. Supposed to be a gift from someone else for good luck and protection on the road.
@@MessyGarageBMW cheers for letting me know 😊
Hi, I ordered the same Engine Guard KXA00003, and it came with the Style B brace mount. I don't think it has about the same spacing as your brace mount (Style A from the instructions). However when I try to connect the Guard to the wide part (bottom) of the motorcycle frame (at about 8min) in your video, the guard doesn't fit, the spacing is too narrow about 1in.
Any thought why?
I looked at the instructions on their site and it looks like you need the style A brace mount. I'm not sure if the Style B brace is for another bike (possibly the classic 350) but it looks narrower which would then cause the bottom to be narrow like you describe. I would contact whoever you ordered it from and see if they can provide the style A brace to you. Sounds frustrating. I hope it works out.
I had the very same issue, wrong brace. The Indian supplier was very apologetic, he said he just forwarded the box, as received from RE . I ordered a new guard from him for ten dollars, and received the correct brace (only). Excellent video, many thanks @@MessyGarageBMW
Thanks for the video! Just ordered bars for my Meteor, this will help. Where are you from?
Midwest in the USA
@@MessyGarageBMW we got my bars in, but they didn't come with the bolt...bummer.... can't find a longer bolt to use, hoping the company will send us one. I think I like the ones you installed better. Oh well, may have to use all thread for now. Cheers!
Great tutorial Messy from Tel Aviv! - am I wrong when I want to buy the Chrome engine guard for my Meteor 350 royal enfield stellar black? - can you suggest if beyond personal taste there is any other factor or parameter I should consider?
I literally JUST flew home from tel aviv. (Actually responding from my final flight home). I think the chrome or black is personal preference and would look cool either way on the black.
@@MessyGarageBMW Oh, how a pity I missed you! We could have a beer and show you some hidden gems. I hope to meet somewhere in the future and thanks so much for the answer and for what you do here!
Were the torque specs written in the instructions?
I recently removed the frame bolts on the left side of the bike to adjust my gear lever and I couldn't find any torque settings for them, so I just nipped them back up to what they felt like when I took them off.
Yes, I got the torque specs from the written instructions with these parts. You are likely okay doing it by feel but I would just check it after a while to make sure nothing is backing out.
Thanks for the instruction. Are these guards actually functional or are they for show?✌🏽
Functional. They will help cut down on damage in case of a fall.
@@MessyGarageBMW Thanks. What's your impression of the general build and quality of the Meteor 350?
@@marsoelflaco5722 I think it is a great amount of bike for the price. Build quality seems very good so far. It is a friends bike and not mine but she seems very happy with it so far.
@@MessyGarageBMW At just under $5,000 they seem like a great value but $5,000 is STILL $5,000. I know very little about motorcycles and I'm trying to gather as much information as I can. Thanks for the feedback.👍🏽
I installed a engine guard. Now it has awkward sound. It's very odd
It shouldn't have anything to do with sound. Make sure all bolts are tight perhaps a rattling bolt is making the odd sound?
