Royal Enfield Classic 350. Accessories after the Fact 4th Jan 2023

Time to make a few changed to the Cub. Join me in my garage as I fumble and faff around with spanners...

Very helpful and encouraging video. I just bought a Classic 350 and just ordered a set of panniers on line. Same style but different colour. Now I know to get an extra pair of hands around while I'm doing the install.

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

Hi, thanks for watching. The trick is to take your time when fitting them. 👍

A Yorkshireman spending money 💰😁😋. Looking great, nice garage nick, green with envy 😩☺️. Instructions are only for reference when things go badly wrong 🤣

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

I know it was a shock and my wallet is still recovering from the trauma..! And there are more changes to be made, hopefully not as expensive. 🤞👍

Congratulations, well deserved.

[@johnpawson7400]

Nice job Nick, they look well.

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

Cheers John, they’re so much better than those cheap leather ones. 👍

[@Butlers_Bike_life]

They look fantastic, really suite 's the bike, Hitchcocks are out of stock at the mo, was going to order some ready for my new 350. Great video 👍

[@Toprak_Yollarda]

İs it fit hunter 350 ?

[@bikahjoeUK]

Great video, Nick and especially useful for me as I've just taken delivery of the same racks and panniers from Hitchcocks myself. One thing; in my bag of fittings there are a couple of extension pieces for the lower bracket fixing point - I just wonder if that would have made things easier for you. Did you have them and decide not to use them? I think the Bingley Wheeler used them when he fitted his. Cheers.

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

To be honest I can’t remember seeing any extension pieces in the bag of bits. Those cheap leather bags turned out to be just so much rubbish. Should have known better at only £40 including delivery from India. 👍

[@bikahjoeUK]

@@thesilverfoxtravels6653 Thanks for the reply, Nick. I've just finished fitting mine this minute - very fiddly but happy with the result. I found I had to use the extension bits as otherwise the rear brackets wouldn't reach the mudguard stays. Also, one of the bottom spacers was missing from my fixing kit so I had to use 4 washers on one side instead. Good enough and now I'm ready for some adventures!

Cracking Job there Foxy very chilled video and they look the Biz I fitted Similar on my classic 500 before Make such a good video 😊 Regards Phil

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

Thanks, I did edit out all the dropped spanners, faffing with the ratchet set, and swearing at the instruction sheet..!🤣🤣

[@-old-school-motorcyclesltd]

@@thesilverfoxtravels6653 Yep all part of it 😂😂the end result spot on

[@Ainsworth-Rider]

Morning Foxy I do like a good box opening 😃👍

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

Morning James, only one of those two sets of fittings was used. No idea what the others were for and no mention of them in the instructions..! I’ve put them into the “spares” box. 👍

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

Morning Nick they look good and suit the bike 👍👍

[@aussiebikerdude6563]

G’day Nick,the Panniers look good mate 👍 looks like they have a bit more room than mine 😊

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

Cheers, I can now carry all my wet weather gear on one side and fill the other with cakes..🍩🍩🍰🍰🤣👍

[@aussiebikerdude6563]

😂😂 enough for you AND James 😁

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi Nik, I too bought panniers and racks for my 350 from India and they to proved rubbish quality and false economy, so I too will shortly be ordering genuine racks and canvas panniers from Hitchcocks U.K. , prob in same colour as yours for my Army theme on my bike 😁👍 Subscribed and looking forward to more Enfield films 👍😁 Cheers Bruce

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

Hi Bruce, firstly thanks for subscribing and I hope you enjoy my videos. Sometimes we come across what appears to be a bargain but really isn’t. The Hitchcock’s kit it top quality and well worth the extra money. 👍

[@Coastriderscotland]

Buy good and buy once! What my old Dad always said 😊👍

[@ccooper8785]

We need Hitchcocks to find someone in India to make metal "ammo box" panniers the same size as their canvas bags... (either that or a copy of the old Craven fibreglass boxes)

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

Now that’d look great. 👍

[@ccooper8785]

@@thesilverfoxtravels6653 On my '93 Bullet 500 I had "Harley style" panniers by Acrybre Mouldings and they really suited the bike. 20 years later I am really kicking myself that I did not keep hold of them...😭

[@williamtaylor874]

Hi there any news on your 350 intermittent missing ?? Ps I bought the gun metal grey also cheers

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

I had it serviced shortly after and so far it’s running ok but I’m keeping an eye on it. 👍

I have the green saddlebags but had to waterproof them I found they soak up the rain water

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

That’s a good idea though these have an inner waterproof lining. 👍

[@Ainsworth-Rider]

Lots of room for Scones 😁

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

Scones..? I can get a whole bakery in them.. 🍰 🧁 🍩 😋

[@thesilverfoxtravels6653]

I got the old bags from a random search on eBay for £40 ($50) but don’t remember the site/brand but I do recall they were from India.
