Luggage Setup for Adventure Motorcycle Touring | RE Himalayan

[@Alphastate30]

you're carrying an entire home mate 😂upon that you say "that's not a lot". I have a Himalayan too, but came across your vlog...! Man this is too much imo🙏 too much is too bad search "minimalist travelling" thanks mate>!

[@SilenceandStories]

Thanks buddy! I usually travel for 1-2 months at a time. Carrying all essentials, bike tools, camping equipment and the likes does take some space at times. Just trying to cut it short one trip at a time ;)

[@shadowfox2938]

After seeing this video, I realised organising is the key. Had a doubt if we could mount tail bag on top rack, that got cleared. And the packing bags was indeed a great advice. Thanks for the knowledge ❤

[@SilenceandStories]

Cheers 🙌

Thank you bhai

🤟🤟

[@hakunamatata7097]

Extremely insightful. Thanks for explaining everything in detail!

[@SilenceandStories]

I'm glad it could be of some help 🤝

[@deepreets]

Very informative and in detail. I guess every trip will need some or the other accessory.

[@SilenceandStories]

Thank you Deepak. It sure does 🙂

[@shadowfox2938]

Do u mind sharing the link for packing cubes

[@lakshayawana7]

Superb! Very informative ❤

[@SilenceandStories]

Thanks buddy 😁

[@siddharth3496]

Excellent packing, has every essential things and whole alot of other things ,that's like your room moving with you. Very very good packing got me hyped for long days tour as well. Bdw what was the cruising speed or top speed with all these luggages, did you had any trouble riding with all these luggages ? And Thanks for the inspiring video.. happy travelling 🤝🏽

[@SilenceandStories]

Hey, thanks buddy! No trouble at all. Could easily cruise on 100-110 with a pillion plus luggage all day long. I'm guessing 110-115 with a solo setup.

[@Kvvarunreddy]

Loved your explanation and Detail information 👍

[@SilenceandStories]

Thank you Varun. Stay around for many such videos 😀

[@aloneop3602]

I loved this video, very informative. Thank you for making this

[@SilenceandStories]

Thank you buddy. Appreciate it :)

[@amitkrupal1234]

Is all your stuff "crap" for you, you had such a nice video demonstrating luggage setup which is cool.

[@SilenceandStories]

😅 thanks buddy!

[@vaishaliverma2168]

Hey. That was a really informational video, thanks, helped me in a lot of ways. It'd be really helpful if you'll be able to help me with these questions as I, myself plan to get a bike down the road: 1. Can these Rynox saddle be attached to any of the bikes out there? 2. Will I be able to find the same hiking bag at Decath still? And lastly, I don't have a budget for a Himalayan but damn, how I wish I had this beauty.

[@SilenceandStories]

Oh. Stop, you 😂 We'll talk about it when your bike's here.

[@ShivamYadav-mr5ce]

For the much more detailes❤

[@ShelleyRaskin]

Would like to know about the auxiliary lights!

[@SilenceandStories]

I'll make a video on it pretty soon 😃

[@SilenceandStories]

Hey Shelley, it took some time but I've finally made a video addressing the auxiliary lights and 10 more mods I have on the bike for adventure riding. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5CYaoGihs2HjJo. Cheers!

[@jaanamkotwal6382]

Could you please help me with the link of your luggage carrier. I tried to search it on physical stores. But didn't get it.

[@SilenceandStories]

Hey buddy I've added the link to that specific product and many such small things I use while travelling in all video descriptions. For your convenience, here you go: amzn.to/3s5qcMz :)

[@abhishekraibagi1024]

Ammmazzing content man! I have a question.. Like where do you store your riding jacket and pant when you are exploring a city and you dont wanna wear them?

[@SilenceandStories]

That's a good one. For starters, I would plan it well. If I intend to do more exploring and ride less, I would skip wearing the pants altogether. As for the jacket, I either keep it on, or if it's too hot, I carry an extra backpack and stuff it in there.

[@naval229908]

Really good video

[@SilenceandStories]

Thank you 🙂

[@gazoutdoors7525]

wow, thanks man

[@SilenceandStories]

Appreciate it 😊

[@beyondthehighways]

Nice setup and loved your trailer video , comments are off there 🙃

[@SilenceandStories]

I've looked into it and set it up correct. And thanks! :)

[@sharathkurup]

That's an amazing video and nicely edited. I do have a question. How do you mount the bag in tail rack, as Himalayan has very small plate for it, do you use custom plate for it? Most video's cover for solo ride, they tie it up in pillion seat that can't be done when you want to ride with a partner. I can see you mounted it nicely into tail rack. Can you make a video of how you tie it up.

[@SilenceandStories]

Hey Sharath. I use a specific rear rack plate for the same. I'll surely make a video around it soon! Stay tuned for it :)

[@sharathkurup]

@@SilenceandStories Thanks man. Waiting for the video. Happy Riding.

[@SilenceandStories]

Hey Sharath, this new video of mine should give more clarity on the rear rack plate that I use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5CYaoGihs2HjJo. Cheers!

[@smbate]

Nice video. I was wondering if you ever pack a tent and sleeping bag, etc for camping? Is there a way to do that efficiently? Thanks

[@SilenceandStories]

I do that quite often actually! I recently did a cross country moto-camping trip and I'll be coming out with episodes of that trip soon enough! Hope you'll get better clarity then 🙂

[@SilenceandStories]

Hi Steve, I recently put out a video addressing your question- kzbin.info/www/bejne/pprNo3Wuhp2GeK8 Hope it helps :)

[@kirubashankar7249]

Does the rynox saddlebag touch the silencer? Would love to get those but afraid if those burn up.

[@SilenceandStories]

I recommend you get a saddle stay just to be sure. That's how I do it!

[@tripwithme7834]

Does the reqtech inflator works well?

[@SilenceandStories]

It works very well!

[@saikrishnamohanty8251]

With that luggage is there any space left for a pillion ???

[@SilenceandStories]

Absolutely! A pillion can sit comfortably with this setup as the saddles are on their each side and the other bags are behind them on the rack.

[@roninr8199]

That's lot of bags 😁.. From where did you ride to north. If you haven't completed your trip then wish you safe journey.

[@SilenceandStories]

I was in a remote part of Himachal for about a month at the time, so had to have all supplies with me. I rode from Delhi 😃

[@roninr8199]

@@SilenceandStories that's nice. People of Delhi, chandigarh are so lucky.. I am from chennai and I will have to ride 2000 km plus just to reach Delhi.. Have you not carried tent for that long stay. I think Manali has zostel but it might spoil the atmosphere of peace and silence 😂

[@SilenceandStories]

@@roninr8199 I understand. I recently took on a trip to Meghalaya and it took me 2K kms just to reach the state!! As for this trip you see here, I didn't carry any camping gear as I was staying in homestays there.

[@wandereronwheels69]

Confused Between Soft luggage or Royal Enfield hard luggage in soft luggage which is better between Invictus or rynox . Your video was too good too informative keep it up .

[@SilenceandStories]

Soft and hard luggage both have their own pros and cons. Hard luggage can be deemed a tad bit safer compared to soft luggage (as you can lock it up), but having said that it adds a few more kilos to your bike. If you're someone who does highway riding mostly, hard luggage won't be a problem. If you hit the trails more often, go with soft to shed that extra weight. Coming to the difference between the brands, I can only speak for Rynox (as I've never used the other one you mentioned) and their products are built to last. Plus, their customer support is responsive too! Having said that, go to a retailer, compare both the brands for your liking and you should be good to go.

Which luggage rack are your using on the tail end?

[@SilenceandStories]

It's a rear rack made by a company called Nexus Gears: amzn.to/3s5qcMz

Where was this taken? The area is beautiful.

[@SilenceandStories]

It's a small village in the middle of Himachal

[@devanggaur9174]

Isn't there a risk of those saddle bags being burnt from the exhaust's heat?

[@SilenceandStories]

None at all. Two reasons why: First, you can always tighten them at the intersection while putting them on so that they don't droop down below. Second, a saddle stay would prevent it from getting anywhere near to the exhaust. I use one too!

With this much luggage u can't stop by a restaurant or dhaba for refreshment along the route without worrying about someone stealing your stuff

[@SilenceandStories]

On the contrary, that's never been the case for me. Yes, there's always some intrigue by the people around, but no-one really becomes a problem. What may help is to park your bike where you can see it while you've stopped for a quick bite.

[@mradulmt]

You dont even carrry that much things to have this much of luggage. Waste of space

[@SilenceandStories]

I do on most of my 1-2 month trips and that's where this setup comes to most use. For trips where I'm not carrying as much stuff, the number of bags comes down or I choose smaller ones. I thought that goes without saying, but this should suffice for those who don't get the obvious :)
