TEC camshaft single greatest mod for me. Simple installation and has transformed the bike’s performance without sacrificing flexibility. More torque and more horsepower - what’s not to love.

[@TictacAddict1]

Just a side note: Your hair cut, beard, and mustache grooming are the best I've seen you wear. Great look sir!

[@sdefiel3719]

Yeah, me too. They keep asking me to work Sundays. Don't they KNOW Unka Roro is on the telly today?!? S

[@krazeekalvin]

I haven't received mine yet. I was given one today by an old friend. He bought one for me and a mutual friend. We have ridden Harley's for years together all over the country. He has one in his collection that he tought we would like where we live in the countryside. I have smaller scooter's overseas that I ride all over as well as larger motorcycles. Just got back from Thailand that I did an eighteen day Harley ride that we do over there. I saw the Himalayan over there as well. Would like to get on for Vietnam to cruise around there. I had a Suzuki 400 DRZ over there that was a blast, I think this would be so much better. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@mattyb7736]

Yay, another one to watch when I get home from work.

[@OlManRonin]

awesomeness

[@Ohio_Motonaut]

All great mods! I would add a master cylinder guard to the list. I think that's very important. I'll be interested in seeing what tires you end up going with. 🍻

[@GOBBYBOY333]

Great video as usual, I still haven't saved enough to get a Himalayan, so watching your RE videos is a great second best. Keep them coming ATB Big Dave Scotland.

[@rafaelmendezsierra1382]

Saw your handlebar riser installation video, and didnt hesitate to buy mine. Great mod for the himalayan!! Greetings from DR 🇩🇴

[@OlManRonin]

If you have done everything including oil change, do a TCLOCS, then hop on the bike and run it like nornal

[@mrgrizzlyrides]

Great vid Jeff. I am looking forward to learning your new tyre choice. Ride safe Neil

[@wardroland270]

Thanks OMR. Great job. Good info. God bless. Happy trails.

[@TheZoneWalker]

Another great vid and excellent info: Cheers . 👍🏴‍☠️

[@russelltolbert4284]

Honestly don't know why I haven't subscribed sooner, been following your work for a while. Looking forward to more great content!

[@OlManRonin]

thank you ever so much

[@mikehurley5052]

I would add, bracing bar for the handlebars as the originals are made from cheese, the rear rack also made from the same cheese, loads of reports of snapped racks and handlebars that bend when the bike is dropped. TEC parts camshaft too.

[@kenrichmond6906]

Great video! Many thanks!

[@barryhughes1612]

I have an Interceptor 650 which is a fantastic bike but I am now seriously thinking about buying a Himalayan as my winter bike here in the UK, brilliant review!

[@OlManRonin]

Thank you ever so much

[@mrgrizzlyrides]

Go for it Barry;,I have both and luv it, it’s a blast.

[@clarkrock114]

I’ve got both do it

[@woundedtiger7547]

I'm 6'3". 300lbs. I've got my eye on an Royal. An working to maybe get one this spring 2022. So thanks for the info.

[@JohnDavis-ol7qg]

I just got my brand new 22 green Himalayan leftover on a low interest clearance. I put handguard on and did your recommendation.

[@tamjacobite4758]

Love your work

[@trevorthorn5011]

Hi again young man great vid as always we be interesting to see what tyres you put ride safe Trevor UK 👍🍷

[@chriscarney3256]

Thanks Ronin purchased a number of these accessories after watching your video, very helpful

[@OlManRonin]

Awesomeness thank you Chris

[@eazyrider1069]

Great video as usual. Thanks!

[@OlManRonin]

THANKS EZ

[@wolfpack3590]

Handle bar raisers are a must👍

[@MotoTvWoodsFarm]

nice movie lots got advice enjoyed watching it

[@OlManRonin]

Thank you

[@kittywampus]

That bike is looking really good blacked out.

[@whatsstefon]

Some awesome suggestions with your accessories and improvements. I’m thinking of selling my Classic 500 (as much as I’ll maybe regret that) to buy a friends Himalayan that he just can no longer keep. So while I’m always a fan of your videos anyway, now they related to me even more so than ever. Also, very weird, I am no longer subscribed to your channel. I know this has been happening lately. I recall Jess from Her Two Wheels also noticed this. Anyway, resubscribing now!

[@diabolic_edits_27]

I like the engine guard it's very stylish and sturdy at the same time

[@priestland1]

Super video, cheers from the UK.

[@OlManRonin]

Thanks ever so much Peter! Cheers

[@nickmason279]

Great video. Here in the UK there are plenty of upholsterers who will modify your existing seat for very reasonable money and cheaper than a new seat. I know people who have had gel inserts for comfort, height added or height removed. There must be similar in the USA

[@OlManRonin]

There aren't as many as one would think and the ones that are want a small fortune

[@robertlindstrom540]

Thought those handlebar risers would come up. I´ve yet just had a chance to sit on one of those Himalayans and immediately thought "risers". Almost 6,1 in your measurements (184cm) so no giant but the handlebars was a bit low even if it otherwise felt ok. Not able to decide for the moment what I want from my next bike but different is quite high up on my list. I´ve had cruisers since 2009, before that it was sportsbikes so a novice with ADV "ish" bikes like that one. Had one enduro (a Kawa) for a while in the seventies but going fast was more fun in those days so that bike did not be mine for long. So a Himalayan would be different, need to try one.

[@badershahin4154]

Cool 😎

[@ClarkieBoy]

Yes, I would add a rear brake master cylinder heel guard and a headlight protector, especially if you're still doing the long trail ride next year.....

[@OlManRonin]

you guys are missing the point. These are on the bike, but they aren't in the top 10. Check out my Modifications videos

[@krishnakumarkulkarni2029]

Gonna buy very soon.....

[@donaguitar]

nice video, totally agree with your choices, and the next item extra lights ? top case ?

[@OlManRonin]

lights? maybe. Top case, nope that is not on my list

[@skellco]

Hello Ole Man Ronin, love the videos! Can you give us the link to the honorable mention phone mount…..I done think this is the RE accessories pro mount but something else and I like it? Thank you

[@OlManRonin]

They quit making the model I use. So I changed to Quad Lock.

[@egg-sk8kp]

Good video. Could you please tell me which phone mount is shown in this video .

[@jannerfox9292]

My friends the Davidsons at Sprocket and Hub's in Adare, Co Limerick lent me a Himalayan fir a Royal Enfielder's Ireland camp. A lovely engine and handled well but the seat was uncomfortable for a 6 foot 3" chap, a good friend Ger Duhig bought a new bike and had the seat raised and levelled. Now is a perfect bike.

[@THEkisserable]

Ronin... if you drive into a wwe arena , most will think you're the umdertaker. There's a resemblance.

[@OlManRonin]

lol ok he must be one HANDSOME devil lol 😆

[@THEkisserable]

@@OlManRonin Yes exactly.

[@marcuswachoski3025]

Enjoy your videos, I just seen a info Comercial. It had mentioned Thst the Himalayan shall also be made as a 450/ 6 spd. I found it on. Bike wale Posted 3 days ago

[@OlManRonin]

Yeah I saw that as well.

[@jeffs7139]

Jeff, I've pretty much have all the same mods but the seat.(only have 31" inseam) However, make sure the hand guards are really tight, I barely brushed against my Himalayan and because of their kickstand being to long, the bike tipped over in the garage and the hand guard rotated up allowing the front brake lever to hit the cement floor and bending ! I realize they make a shorter kickstand, (allowing more lean) but just a word of caution about the hand guards.

[@OlManRonin]

centerstand?

[@jeffs7139]

@@OlManRonin no, the centerstand is fine. It's the kick stand/ side stand that makes it stand to upright. There's an aftermarket one that is about 1/2" shorter to let the bike lean over to the left more. Thought about cutting mine down and welding a larger foot on it.

[@OlManRonin]

@@jeffs7139 I meant in the garage. I only use it because sane reason

[@jeffs7139]

@@OlManRonin 👍

[@dennismurray4999]

When you added the risers were you able to use the OEM cables or did you have to add longer cables? When I added beach bars to my Road King I had to rewire my throttle, though the Clutch and front brake cables were long enough the throttle by wire wasn't. Looking good. Stay safe and ride hard!

[@OlManRonin]

Nope, plenty of slack. Harleys on the other hand .....

[@krazeekalvin]

@@OlManRonin could you attach link's to the accessories?

[@pepeseco6643]

Hello, have you been able to test/verify if the Givi engine guards protects the gear lever if you drop the bike. Thanks a million.

[@OlManRonin]

Are you asking if I dumped my bike lol Any piece of hardware that sticks out always has a possibility of being damaged. Even if it was encased inside of the metal guard, if a rock, log, or any obstruction that sticks out has the potential of causing damage. I would say the Givi guard works as well as I could ever ask a guard to do, but there are zero guarantees if you catch my drift???

[@jackvliet]

I would love a taller seat!

[@magnet2345]

Regarding your soft bags for the Himi, have you extended your tail lights or are they the standard.

[@OlManRonin]

Standard no need imho

[@manunope]

I have the GIVI protection (TN9050) installed on my Himalayan. The left part protrudes and continuously hits the left ankle. I have contacted the manufacturer, sent photos, and explained the problem. They have treated me correctly, but they tell me that the protection is designed that way. Other users have the same problem.

[@OlManRonin]

Very unfortunate. I have zero issues and have never heard of any.

[@Greed991]

I own a 2021 version (euro 5, the himalayan with the tripper) and i really would have enjoyed the pro mount, but unfortunatley for the euro 5 is unavailable, someone knows where to find it? Sorry for the bad english, i'm from italy and the himalayan is my very first bike (i'm 30, and i just get my bike license, so i'm a newbie)

[@SureSkill]

Enfield Accessories are making one soon

[@OurDee]

hey 5:06

[@Rovemcmanus1312]

Can you fit a pillion passenger with the aluminium side panels on?

[@OlManRonin]

the panniers?? easily watch my 2 up videos in the catalog

[@marcosmartinez7020]

How heavy can this bike get? Has it affected overall performance or it works like a champ? Thanks for the accessories review.

[@OlManRonin]

The bike is like a pack mule. Pack it up and ride brother. All will be well.

[@jerrodlopes186]

There's about 380 lbs. capacity for rider, accessories and luggage on top of curb weight.

[@yellownev]

..... now about that TEC cam ?

[@OlManRonin]

If I could afford it .....

[@clarkrock114]

Hey ron what kind of mount is that for your phone I’d like to get one of those

[@critterIMHO]

I’m only about an inch shorter than you, so I’m wondering how close your knees come to that front rack. It’s a little hard to tell in the video. Thank you in advance.

[@OlManRonin]

About an inch. 34 inch inseam if that helps

[@corychartier7961]

Lithium iron also doesn't catch fire and has no cobalt so no African slave labor in Congo involved

[@thanasisgiannakopoulos2315]

do the panniers interfere with your pillion's comfort?

[@FranklinBurns42]

Great video. I do believe you have sold me on the Himalayan. Are the panniers lockable? And do they easily detach from the bike?

[@OlManRonin]

yes and yes
