Top 10 upgrades for your Royal Enfield 350 Classic Reborn

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

One accessory that I think would do very well, and something I myself would need if I buy a Classic 350 is a bracket that places the seat 2 or 3 inches further back for taller riders. I’m sure that would be very easy to manufacture 👍🏼

[@chrisweeks6973]

Or perhaps a proper dual seat?

[@nikoscosmos]

​@chrisweeks6973 enter the Bullet!

[@vk8458]

Does the new Bulllet’s single seat work better for you?

[@MarioFloyd]

The rpm speedometer should be chrome

[@davidbarber5657]

Yes if it was chrome I would consider it.

[@jimbo9310]

Yes chrome would be great , also match up the fonts and needle to the speedometer

[@julianroberts7116]

Beautiful upgrades. Love how you guys made the classic solo with the luggage rack.

[@gradientO]

The levers are dope

[@derekcollins1972]

Dope as the West side big b

[@EnglishVeteran]

These mods are all great and I love the look of this bike. I own a Himalayan and have bought some upgrades from yourselves. The service has always been superb! Thanks. Next purchase will be a Fuel X Lite.

[@scottboettcher]

I have most of these from Hitchcock and they’re all great. Haven’t installed the 16 tooth yet but the rest are great! Ride Safe 🙏🏼

[@johnterry804]

Excellent upgrades 👍

[@tomstockell9481]

Good one Derek - thanks again for your advice on the Interceptor mirror recently

[@PatrickLeFloch]

My favorite upgrade is the wide footpegs. They are easy to install and make it much more comfortable.

[@morrisminor56]

The last item I bought from you was that rack, easy to fit and a very good finish to it.

[@rd7002]

Ive always thought that a tachometer is an essential part of a motorcycle, but this is one bike that I didnt care about one!. This motorcycle is so good to just kick back and ride in a relaxed manner, not worrying about anything else

[@josevi5835]

I never add mods to my bikes, I strictly maintain bike like the factoy makes them. However, the accessories you show us are pretty reasonable and do not modify the aesthetics of this lovely machine. Love the bronze and chrome color scheme.

[@freeman10000]

I have the fender rack and DNA filter. The tachometer is now on my shopping list 👍

[@nikitis13]

Has anyone figured a way around the speed governor?

[@murrayhyde4902]

I have a 411 scram... with knobby tyres, dna filter and slip on exhaust... I love it... But i think i want one of these.... with the 10 mods (minus heal toe shifter, and 16 tooth sprocket ) and Knobby tyres... love it ...

[@marlecmarine5393]

Great looking bike, love the heel and toe lever, l put it on my Bullet 500, never leave home without it.....🙂 the DNA, Fuel X and De Cat pipe are a must for any RE, l can't seem to stop spending money on your website, super fast service....

[@arunvinta5141]

I am waiting for big bore kit for reborn by Hitchcocks

[@wavehuntersjapan]

Cam shaft looks an interesting upgrade. Got the dna, rack and heel toe shifter.

[@julianroberts7116]

The rev counter is a brilliant, brilliant idea mate, but why couldn't it have been made to actually match the speedo? The same font, the same 'look', a red needle like the speedo instead of white, etc, and maybe a chrome bezel to match. That black plastic just looks 'wrong', and added on. Maybe it'll sell well, but imagine if you'd made one to look like it was actually made by RE to go with the bike! Boom - top seller, right there. How about a gear indicator? I'm a new biker and I still forget which gear I'm in. I know you don't always need to know, but I definitely, 100% need a gear indicator more than a rev counter (how often do you actually NEED to know how many revs you're doing anyway?) So how about developing a gear indicator to go in that hole? One that matches the bike and looks like RE designed it themselves to go with the speedo. The Meteor has a gear indicator as standard, so it must be a simple job to wire one in, it's the same gearbox. Do it, fellas!!😃 Or what about just a simple, old fashioned looking analogue clock? Again, to match the speedo obviously. I bought your heel-toe shifter a couple of weeks ago actually - it's a brilliant bit of kit, so well done on that one. It was very, VERY tight to get onto the splined shaft, mind you. I have the seat springs set too. They look the absolute boll**ks. Nice one.

[@Danny-ux1il]

My Meteor has gear indicator on the Speedo screen. As for how often do you need to know ... ? The thing is - especially while breaking the bike, the first couple thousand km's - I want to know how high I am revving the engine. It is more important than knowing the speed. Until you have ridden your bike a few thousand km, over varied terrain, hills and country roads and highways and city traffic, by which time you will know pretty much how fast the engine is going by the sound, until then you really really do need a tachometer to tell you when it is time to shift . Up or down. SO you do not "lug" your engine or wind it out too much -- ESPECIALLY WHEN BREAKING IT IN, the first few thousand miles. I want to know how fast the engine is going ALL THE TIME. You need to know this also.

[@RobertTripp]

I'd have already bought one of the Rev Counters if it had a Chrome Bezel

[@fredbonsell3741]

They do them in chrome.

[@twotter1969]

How about a black decat pipe for the Signal 350s?

[@stevef8065]

Great video….can you explain affect of the performance improvements you’ve noticed? Top speed, horsepower, Acceleration, throttle response and so on…..and how Each performance ungraded effected the bike, respectively….thank you

[@rbattson7171]

Added the air filter upgrade, didn't bother with anymore performance tweaking, as it doesn't need it, also imo, it may change it's engaging character too much. Thanks for the video.

[@RanMachlof]

Fantastic upgrades. Hopefully you'll make a rev counter to the Meteor ot the super 😊

[@HitchcocksMotorcycles]

Thanks for the comment, the rev counter is in development for the other models and we hope to have this available in the coming months👍

[@RanMachlof]

@@HitchcocksMotorcycles That's fantastic news! Looking forward for that. Thank you

[@lowersaxon]

Quality video from a pro, Hitchcock „ himself“!

[@mockbattles]

A tachometer for this motor is superfluous. I’d much rather have an integrated analogue temperature & oil pressure gauge. I think that’s much more important with an air cooled motor.

[@ottohesslein3230]

They make an oil temp sensor to replace the oil fill cap.

[@marioaraujo74]

Nice video! Will order some of the upgrades, as soon as i have the Classic. What about a proper classic look adjustable levers? Those are too modern in my opinion

[@mikeemerson9832]

11th upgrade. Rebuild the wheels with decent stainless spokes. The original chromed galvanised one's corrode very quickly.

[@longjonwhite]

Hi! Lanky 6'4" lad here. I'd like to see a bracket which would allow you to position the single seat up and back by a couple of inches, for more legroom. Another possibility might be dropping the footpegs a bit, although this would probably require adapting the brake and gear pedals too.

It would be the easiest thing for RE to have a tall boy option at purchase, a single seat option that gives you an extra few inches. Personally the bike looks amazing minus the pillion, but at 196cm that ain't happening.

[@MrMomo182]

Imagine a brass bezel on the tachometer and if it could be fitted to the Bullet 500.

[@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield]

Love your products & these videos. Hope your working on belt drive conversion for 650 Twins. The Super Meteor 650 being designed to be a cruiser is crying out for belt drive. Owners manual calls for Clean, Lube, Adjust every 500km/310miles.

[@ruahinesrider]

Looking at RE 650 owners manual now it says ,lubricate,adjust every 1000km(600miles) & clean every service or earlier which means clean every 1500-2000km. Also I would check chain for lube every 500km & lube if needed or give light lube every 500km.If riding 500-700km in a day & same again next day or 2 check lube on chain & apply if needed but should be able to do 1000-1500km over a few days then adjust,clean,lube. Regular checks is the way & if traveling alot & covering long distances carry lube,cleaner tools to adjust chain as needed cause road conditions, gravel,rain,dirt etc will affect when you clean chain like ride over dirt then it rains later on road etc chain will need cleaning more regularly.Also check chain slack on side stand using a block of wood to get bike nearly level for more accurate reading.Checking chain slack on center stand can be up to 5mm out. Banditos do a Belt conversion for RE 650 but only has one kit increasing torque but range is less per tank & Belt needs less maintenance.

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

It should have a belt drive, hydraulic valve adjustment and a kick start.

[@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield]

@@frankmarkovcijr5459 I agree with the belt drive. Lifters & kick start would be nice but they hit the price point so well I would not want to pay for those two.

[@tibotibo1976]

Excellente vidéo 👍👍👍👍 et magnifique moto !!!!

[@drshreenie]

I love the tacho, or the rev counter as you call it. But at 225$ it seems a bit too overpriced than even the ones made by MMB that were a direct fit on older bullets right in the place of the start key. MMB tachos had chrome rim that matched with the design.

[@hullygully1135]

Very interesting.

[@constantin1959]

very very nice; thank you!!

Are you making a decat pipes for the hunter ?

With the revs counter I wish it was chrome to go with the styling and had in the digital section what gear one is in.

I have the Meteor and there is no jerkiness at all and I ride in Thailand in up to 40c. I like the decat pipe and will also go for the DNA filter. My number 1 is the screen, number 2 passenger back rest. You don't mention that the Fuel X screws up fuel consumption big time...I have heard?

[@sportsmanjohn8143]

Is that a meteor silencer on that classic?

[@HitchcocksMotorcycles]

👀 good spot!

[@stevenmiller184]

"Foxy" did a review of the Fuelx lite and he found a 200 degree drop (50%) in the exhaust pipe temperature! That HAS to have positive effects on the wear of the engine.

[@craigwilson8228]

And yet there are people who wrap their exhaust pipe to make it hotter for the gases to flow faster.

Which silencer is in ur Thumbnail..?!?!?

[@shevgreen1960]

Id love to see you guys design a single seat, with a folding passenger seat hidden underneath it. Theres some great examples made in India. If you could make it work with that rear rack, added bonus!

[@90gen26]

Is that meteor exhaust on reborn? Does it sound good more than reborn's stock?

[@RB87NL]

I heard rumours of a big bore kit for the J-series engine. Is this something we can expect from Hitchcocks anytime soon?

[@Spaxcore]

Does changing the cam void the warranty?

[@kevindarkstar]

I'm never sure what the obsession is with revs and counters, it certainly doesn't suit the style of the classic 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@CosmicSeeker69]

It helps immensely with drivability and economy - which are intertwined. I didn't understand (how could I?) until I had a vehicle with a computer on.

[@Disposalist]

I'm interested how many of these do or will apply to the bullet 350.

[@PixelSplash999]

Would you have anything that can dim the brightness on the speedo of the Meteor 350? At night riding they are so bright, it's like a torch in your face.

[@georgiospapageorgiou]

what about the handlebar?Short and low as it seems to me!

[@ago8543]

With all the upgrades made to the bike, do you have an idea of ​​the power and torque gains? And is the exhaust lighter than the original one? THANK YOU

Can you interchange between the sides of brake and gear lever? Just like it used to be in retro Bullets.

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

How about a kicker and a belt drive?

[@paulfoster5432]

Could the Rev counter be made to fit, If I adapted it to fit, Would it work for a Royal Enfield Hunter 350 It could maybe go where the Tripper would go on the Hunter? Cheers Paul Foster

[@HitchcocksMotorcycles]

Hello, we have a specific kit in development for the Meteor/Hunter as it will need different components. We currently have the test unit fitted to our Hunter and it looks great.

[@IndigoJo]

Is the warranty still valid if you fit an aftermarket sprocket or any other driveline upgrade?

[@specialized29er86]

My 2 Stadium mirror upgrades arrived today and one side fits and tightens perfectly and the other one it doesn't matter what angle or position it's loose. Also the nuts to adjust the mirrors I can get them to undo and am not happy with the piss poor quality of the mirors.

[@groupD799]

Is it good to use perfomance cam ??

[@guarifonchis]

I am curious as for if you would upgrade the brakes and the suspension of this bike with, say, some brembo callipers and wilbers forks and rearschocks?

[@ccooper8785]

The upgrade I really want is a taller + longer frame so me and my ridiculously long legs can fit on this brilliant bike....

[@RevsAndWheels]

What difference does the camshaft upgrade make? Does it still maintain the low end torque of the bike or not?

how to keep the chrome enghine shine? it is becoming dull in few months.

How does the mixture end up with the DNA filter and or decat. When bike goes from closed loop to open loop and works off the ECU mapping and O2 sensor no longer monitors mixture. Have you put on dyno and or plug check. Cheers Brian

When I had my 350 Meteor I changed the sprockets, 16t and 40t and the DNA air filter. Best thing I did to the bike and no problems 2 up. Now have a 650SM so would be interested in ditching the tripper and fitting a retro taco like on in video, I'm guessing it's the same size bezel?

Can you tell me where I can get a 16 tooth gearbox sprocket ( part # or supplier ) I am in Canada

[@kevindarkstar]

The sprocket will reduce the acceleration in the gears to get that slightly lower cruise rpm, so to some extent it negates the pipe/fuel X/and dna performance air filter mods, in my personal opinion it's pointless 😊

[@Coastriderscotland]

Interestingly I went back to stock gearing and found with all these mods mentioned in the film the bike goes a lot better as the mods are improving mid range and top speed is still eletronicly stuck at 70mph 😁👍
