Added 1 3/4" Footpeg Wideners to my Royal Enfield Himalayan The stock footpegs on the Himalayan are pretty narrow. One pair of boots I wear has pretty soft soles and they would bend some over the narrow footpegs. So I decided to get some 1 3/4" weld-on footpeg wideners for [...]

Wanted a better skid plate for off road riding I decided to get a new skid plate for the Royal Enfield Himalayan. Lots of my riding is done on rougher terrain than just street and I wanted the added protection. Ended up going with a skid plate from Happy Trails [...]
To avoid damage, I decided to add an oil cooler guard to the Himalayan Damage to the oil cooler on a motorcycle can have an impact on overall performance. I don't want to risk damaging the oil cooler, which could decrease cooling efficiency. If the oil isn't cooled the way [...]

New Tires on Himalayan for Better Traction Purchased new tires for my Royal Enfield Himalayan this week. I ordered the tires and had install done through Edward's Cycle Service down the street in Fincastle, VA. The stock tires that come with the bike aren't terrible, but I had quite a [...]
Pannier Bracket & Silver Boxes Installed on Royal Enfield Himalayan I wanted to add storage that was lightweight, simple, with a design that wouldn’t get in the way if I took my wife or one of my kids for a ride. These Himalayan panniers are super lightweight, which I think [...]
I purchased Himalayan side panel stickers to go in the Himalayan indentations on the side panels of the bike. I also bought a sticker of the Himalayan Mountains to go below it on each side. The stickers were ordered along with panniers from Hitchcock’s Motorcycles in the UK. The stickers purchased […]
