Touring mirrors with vibration dampeners, Dirtsack saddle panniers 60 L , crash bars + sump guard, and touring seats which are excellent and after a week you will not want to come back to original seats. They are comfy yet stiff and support your back during long rides. They got groves so there is more air circulation. A back rack is optional but I find it handy to attach additional things or give support to pillions backpack. You are making great content!

[@Marc.Stones]

Thanks for your feedback 🙂 I agree about the touring seat, stiffer than the original, but seating position is very good.

[@fuglbird]

Rain and fog will make you and your bike damp. You don't need additional dampeners. You may need some vibration dampers too, but that's a different story.

[@irvinmartin9259]

That's a beautiful set-up you've put together. It looks like it could have come from the manufacturer that way. In fact I wish they would sell one like this. As a long time Harley rider I particularly liked the use of the Daymaker lights. They really look right at home on the RE. I hope you do a video of your travels on this bike.

[@Marc.Stones]

Thanks a lot Irvin for your feedback 🙂 The daymaker LED fog lights are very expensive, but they look great on the RE, absolutely agree. Travels follow soon, just have to wait for better weather ;-)

[@flaviosi]

Love the video, Marc, as always! I'm about to buy a Triumph Bonneville T100, but I'm kinda divided with the beauty of this RE.

[@Marc.Stones]

I owned a Triumph Bonneville T100 too, a great and very good looking bike! But for half the price you get a RE and for me the 20 hps are enough for cruising 🙂

[@flaviosi]

Yes... It. Makes me wondering...

Your motorbike is beautiful. It is well suited to its role as a touring motorbike and as an 'round mount. I look forward to further reports of you touring the countryside on it! Thank you, sir! SS

[@BulletBeena]

That's a great setup you have there Marc - it all looks really professional looking and not just cobbled together. It definitely looks better with the spoked wheels and without the screen. I love how you say the word "Rugged". You've said it in a few videos and it makes me smile every time. Forgive me if this is insulting to you in any way, as it could just be your accent, but in case you don't know - it's pronounced "rug-id" in English. Keep the videos coming and I'm looking forward to seeing one of you on tour at some point.

[@Marc.Stones]

I have to practice my English more again, my German accent is too clear. 😂 Thanks for the tip and your feedback. I agree concerning the look of the spoked wheels, but for touring would prefer the tubeless tires, would make repairing much easier in case of a puncture 🙂

[@BulletBeena]

Your English is incredible Marc! Certainly much better than my German 🤣@@Marc.Stones

[@Marc.Stones]

It can certainly be improved, especially technical descriptions with technical terms are quite difficult. Hopefully I do not forget rug-id or rugged will become my personal slogan :-)

[@BulletBeena]

I like the idea of it being your catchphrase 🤣@@Marc.Stones

[@legendsoffaith7467]

Nice set up. Just purchased a Bullet 350. Getting some great ideas with your videos. Happy Easter!

Looking very smart indeed! I also have had people ask about my bike (I have a Halcyon grey one). They are real head turners. If you could link the fog light and heel/toe changer sellers, that would be wunderbar! Many thanks!

Hi, the Chrome Bronze colour is perfect for this Classic. It's seems a perfect tourer now. I prefer alloy wheels and tubeless tires. Less problems during long rides. Great job! Enjoy this beautiful bike 🏍 👍🏼🔝👏🏻😉

[@jorgemarrero5579]

The general quality and construction has gone up a lot, got a 2015 bullet 500, and it's such a big difference. RE is definitely going places!

[@jorgemarrero5579]

I don’t know, but what RE offers is something totally different in my opinion. Classic bikes with the essence of the 50’s (pretty much because they are built the same way as in the 50’s or 60’s). What I’ll like to see is a more powerful bike those 650 engines can give much more.

[@GOLDDYNACO]

Very interesting to see that you use classic off-road tyres on your classic motorcycle. The Heidenau K60 Scout is a legend - been with us from the old days and still serves us. Famous for durability and versatility. Maybe there are better tyres on the market today, but no tyre is classic like these. That's the whole point of the RE 350 CLASSIC!

[@CH-ue5bb]

Hallo Marc, wegen Dir habe ich damals eine Vespa 300 GTS gekauft. Deine Videos und Vergleiche haben mir sehr geholfen. Nun interessiere ich mich für eine Bullet 350 und habe Deinen Kanal hier gefunden. Dein Englisch ist nahezu perfekt und Du erreichst sicher damit weltweit mehr Zuseher. Aber ich würde mir wünschen, dass es die Videos hier auch in deutscher Sprache geben würde. Gruß Claus (ehemaliger Spandauer🙂)

[@Marc.Stones]

Hallo Claus, vielen Dank für dein feedback. Da ich KZbin nur als Hobby betreibe, würde es leider viel zu viel Arbeit machen die Videos auch in deutsch für den Scooteria Kanal zu machen. Das Interesse auf dem Scooteria Kanal an Motorrädern ist bei den meisten auch nicht so stark vorhanden. Aber meine englischen Videos haben ja auch deutsche Untertitel. Viele Grüße Marc

Hello! It looks like you've tried all the accessories that exist for this model :), all that's left to do is give it a try to a Hitchcocks PERFORMANCE CAMSHAFT STAGE 2 along with decat pipe and air filter open cover! I just installed mine, but didn't ride due to the weather conditions.Cheers!

[@Marc.Stones]

You are right, I tried a lot :-D I think the cam shaft is a good performance booster, I am not sure, if the decat pipe is authorized in Germany, the TÜV is very strict. Have a safe ride!

[@Marc.Stones]

Oh, thats a good question :-) not sure, the 650 sounds very interesting.

[@iraxef1]

Struggling to find pannier bags / rear bag I like for Super Meteor 650. So far I have the same luggage rack as you for the rear. Your bike looks great (and very functional)!

[@johnschroeder2046]

Looks great, that colour way is very classic looking. Are you happy with the crash bars,? The Harley lights are a nice touch. The tyre noise is satisfactory, ? Thank you for sharing with us, happy travelling.

[@Marc.Stones]

Thanks John, I am happy with the crash guards, not the most stable ones, but I need them to mount the LED lights and my cameras. The Heidenau tires are of course a bit louder than street tires because of the rough tire tread, but it's ok. Have a safe ride 🙂

[@mockbattles]

Aren’t tubeless tyres easier to deal with when gone flat?

[@Marc.Stones]

Absolutely yes, I still have my aluminium rims and they get some street tires.

[@iraxef1]

Did you change the rims yourself?? If so, you must have some way to lift front wheel off the ground (?)

[@Marc.Stones]

No, the guys at the workshop did it, but when I change back to the alloy rims I will do it by myself, but you need a second person, makes it much more easy.

[@petejones1957]

Looks super Marc, you've done a great job, The touring seats ,I find to be a lot more supporting and comfortable than the originals. I too fitted a heel and toe shifter, but hated it, took it off after about 10 miles! I'm in the minority, as most people seem to love them. Enjoy your touring, ride safe.

[@Marc.Stones]

Thanks Pete, ride safe!

[@pedroc6823]

Very classy. I don’t even notice the extra extension on the bars. I would paint the HD lights same color as the body would look amazing . One final question. Did you remove the performance mods completely. Air filter, exhaust and fuel controller,? Ok real final, did you notice the extra weight in fuel mileage and performance?

[@Marc.Stones]

Hi, I am riding in stock setting at the moment, fuel consumption is 3 l / 100 km in the mix.

[@quentinbush]

Looks beautiful and some nice mods especially the brake lever

[@dimitrisg.4504]

Thumb up No 285 is here! Hey Marc, interesting configuration regarding road - trip use. Regarding the mirrors, you should keep these and forget the styling for a while as the bar - end ones (love them and you know that) won't be so practical when travelling. As for the windshield installation, no way man... the speed will be decreased and you will be a stationary object in the middle of the highway, perfect target for Scania, DAF, MAN etc😅 So, awaiting for the first journey video to come! (Nice haircut!) Cheers 👍

[@Marc.Stones]

Hi Dimitris, hope you are fine. I will test the rectangular bar end mirrors soon, the round ones are too small for me. The touring mirrors have a very good rear view, so for touring purposes very good. Happy eastern. Cheers Marc

I was excited to see your video and wanted to specifically hear your feedback on the touring bars but you covered every other aspect of the bike and never mentioned the bars. I know this is an older video but, if you can recall, could you tell me your experience with them. Were they noticeable higher and wider ? What about the pullback angle ? Also, did they come pre-drilled for the switchgear ? I continually watch and enjoy all your videos.

[@Marc.Stones]

Hi, I mounted the Royal Enfield touring handlebars. they come with longer cables and are predrilled. they are 3cm higher and a few mm wider as the original ones. For me this gives a more comfortable ride.

Excellent end result. Unfortunately, being 6'4'' with 34'' inside leg, I feel that this bike will always be too small for comfort. It is a great pity as everything else about it is perfect.

The RE touring handlebars

[@GiancarloBenzina]

My take on such a bike for 18tkm touring across europe: - get decent road tires, i.e. BT46 - get your suspension right, i.e. spring rate and oil in the front, and shocks from Hagon or better (Bitubo, Ikon, Wirth, …) for you with and without the luggage. - get your lights top, expensive: Nolden 7” insert, less expensive: Osram/Philips LED insert. Need no position lights and added stuff. - cut your stock clutch, brake levers short, so they don’t hit the ground and brake or brake the related pump - get a loud horn! Yes, a truck-loud horn! - Reholster the stock seats for hard foam, as long ride ridicule any stock foam of most bikes. - Use waterproof saddlebags, not leather. No, there’s no warranty for rain-less travel. Neither for dust-less travel. Your bags will collect both and will never be really clean again after a while. - never use a top-case or similar on tour, cases and mounts brake with all the vibration and forces given to them. - don’t add big crash bars as you have them already mounted in original form, wide steering bars. - The brakes are not made for fully loaded speedy braking, so avoid load that’s not necessary. ! But before all that, ride that bike night and day rain, strong wind and heat over 4.000km to determine your kit, or update as you go along realizing what didn’t work and fixing it.

[@Marc.Stones]

Hi, thanks for your tips! I am thinking about installing the Bridgestone tires on my alloy rims, they seem to be very good for road usage. I have some rain covers for my leather saddlebags, so this shouldn’t be a problem. You did 18000 k on the Classis 350, that’s a lot. Are you happy with the bike for touring? Is there enough space in the housing for an Osram LED light?
