Himalayan 450 - Accessories You Really Need | A Guide to informed Decision making

Hi Folks,
Himalayan is arguable of the best adventure touring single cylinder motorcycle and with time we all would want to kit it up with necessary accessories to make it even more capable.
While I have got 10 accessories installed on this Himalayan, In this video I talk about how you can phase out the purchase of these accessories in order of priority.

4K for the headlight grill and 4K for the windshield ?? Too overpriced. Also the mirrors cost a lot. Aftermarket ones would come at half the price . Apart from the panniers, the accessories are not worth the price they are offering. Aftermarket would catch up in no time and at less than half the price.

[@virupakshawalla5734]

Panniers at 32000 are a bargain 🤡😳

[@vipulchauhan5234]

7000 for mirrors? Looks like they purposely made low quality RVMs so that people are forced into buying these overpriced mirrors. We’ll find better quality mirrors at less than half the price outside. Also the aluminium mirrors on the Dominar cost 1950/- and they are the ones being used on the new duke 390. RE is really taking the buyers for a ride

[@akashkumar67897]

Yes obviously

[@chinnu680]

This is ridiculous pricing. Definitely is a daylight robbing from RE. I got steel engine guard + aluminum radiator gaurd + 2 steel oil reservoir protectors + MS material tough crash guard from Moto torque the next day of delivery... it came to just 11.5K including installation. The quality is excellent. Next time i go to Moto torque, i have headlight grill, pillion flat footrest, top plate extra in the list. Thank you Moto Torque. Loved your service 7K for a set of mirror? 😢 is it a convertible dressing table? So funny. However, thanks for sharing the price list before hand bro.

[@manishkumartiwari5404]

Can you please help me. I am planning to buy Himalayan. I am confused to go with any of OEM accessories or After Market accessories? I have heard a lot about after market accessories causing issues in fitting and quality and breaking of chasis.Need to know which one is better

[@chinnu680]

@manishkumartiwari5404 The accessories I have mentioned are not disturbing my chasis, so it's going good for me. I have not made any major after-market fittings to my himalayan450. I feel Moto torque guys have good build and practical design. May be those damages to vehicles due to bad quality nuts and bolts used. I am not sure. It really depends on the quality of after-market fittings. I recently fitted myself a pair of pillion flat footrest as well. I am not promoting a particular brand, but I am using it for myself.

[@brummil]

Two important parts u have forgotten 1. Crashguards for the Handlebar and Motor. Saves Money 2. An Automatic chain oiler. Costs not much, but ur chain and sprokets love it. So it saves Money on the long run as well.

[@omkar_121]

Unnecessary for 95% of riders. More of a wannabe kinda stuff for aesthetics, not very useful.

[@saquibkhan3385]

How's the vibrations on the bike in city and highways does that feel you? And at what speed does it starts?

[@manishkumartiwari5404]

Getting touring seat additional I don't understand what RE is doing. If you are making a bike for touring purpose then your seat has to be by default of that sort that matches the design. I know original seats have off green shade and the touring seat is black. Himalayan is already costly investment and then not providing basic accessories as part of bike. Fully money mindset of RE. Not thinking from customer point of view but pure business. That's why Himalayan sales have declined

[@Whatreally123]

I hate carrying too much luggage. My luggage now is around 12 kgs which I feel is already too much and out of which around 4 kgs are tubes and tools to change the tubes. When I get the Himmy, I'll buy it with the tubeless spokes. In terms of accessories, maybe the taller windshield (hopefully someone manufactures taller/wider adjustable windscreen) and hopefully the rally seat. I wish in the future RE offers adjustable Suspension and shocks. Tubeless spoke wheels and adjustable Suspension would be amazing.

[@kjassamvlogs945]

Himalayan 450 is made for Touring inspite of that RE not giving the basic touring things like seat, mirror, wind shield with the bike itself. This not fair with the customers, they are just looting for the sake of Touring and it is just up selling.

[@rishiroger]

Installed: MadDog Alphas - ~17k SP Connect Phone Mount ~ 12k BarkBusters + Storm ~ 14k RAM Mirrors ~15k, For Seal Covers ~2k Original RE Rally Kit + Radiator Guard + HandleBar Pads ~ 12k Waiting to Arrive: Saddle Stay + WindShield + Adventure Seats + Tubeless Tyres + BackRest/Top Rack + Box. [ If anyone knows availability of these please do share ] Also go with OEM accesories as they're pretty light weight and fit well. The aftermarket ones will unncessary add weight and will defeat the purpose of Himalayan as a flickable ADV.

[@vipulchauhan5234]

Mad dog alphas cost 9500/- isn’t it?

[@rishiroger]

@@vipulchauhan5234 yes but the harness, switch, filters, mount etc. they cost money too :)

What if someone preboooked the bike with these accessories installed itself from RE hopefully one must be saving a huge amount

[@mohammedsohail95]

I'm not lucky enough to have it

[@abhijeetmishra1520]

This is loot from RE to charge almost 10x for its accessories. 4k for windshield and 7k for mirrors🤣🤣 ... Btw you forgot sump guard as 1st day buy

[@TripGuru]

Just a quick question..Is the pannier mounting rails same as the old 411 design or it's a new design ?

[@Twenty3Rides]

Not sure on that.. High chances they are different as the complete chassis on 450 is nee and so will be the mounting points .. But i will need to check

[@PrathameshMaindargi]

Top box mounting bracket will cost around 900-1000 from Mumbai kurla market 😂

[@rishiroger]

Do you prefer Panniers or Saddle Bags ? I happen to have Viaterra Condor 2Up as Saddle bags, also a spare couple from Triton X3 from (Gods). I am wondering how much difference panniers would make wrt handling. Are they lighter or heavier ? The problem I have seen with saddle bags is that in bad weather they require lots of overhead. I got drenched in Spiti with rain and dust, and it was a nightmare to clean them.

[@Twenty3Rides]

I also agree.. saddle bags become a mess especially when muck and dust dries .. The straps become stiff. But then they are lighter and less expensive. Hence i prefer them. Also, the leg doesnt get crushed under saddle bags on a fall, while with panniers it hurts bad.

[@ontheroad8149]

Tailbags for ADVs anyday, if you don’t have a pillion. Then saddle bags.

[@pranavhb1716]

[@navaneethaprabhu4828]

[@sumankumarmehta1342]

Crash guards are a must. Phase 1/2/3 or otherwise.

[@Twenty3Rides]

I agree . It comes with stock guards that you see on the bike.

[@3alET]

Areyyy, Gr Noida showroom... tabhi sochu ye jagah toh bohot jaani pehchaani si lag rhi hai xD

[@rs9301]

I don't think you require pannier rail for the tail bag from Vaiterra or Rynox since the exhaust is lower the bags won't touch it..I think you can do without it because the bag sits on the pillion seat quite sturdly , only in case of saddle bag and pannier you will need it.

[@TejusSubbanna]

Hard luggage is fine if you are keen on it, but it might be better to get third party ones like Givi or SW Motech - easier to swap with other bikes in the garage or with any future purchase.

[@ottoman5713]

that windshield is a joke and you will cry in cold weather in long rides.

RE is also not giving tubeless rim, they already knew about it that it will much needed. RE is planning to sell again tubeless rim extra to earn money. They can easily give option on bike whether a customer can go with a tube tyre or a tubeless tyre. What you thought on that???
