Himalayan 450 Farkle Fest

[Jazbee]

I just messaged Raju Lax in India to see if he's supplying parts & accessories for the new 450.
He is, so feel free to contact him for anything you need.

I've used Raju for parts and accessories for my Interceptor and he's top notch and 100% trustworthy on everything to do with Royal Enfield.

"Order posted." Let's see how long it takes from Delhi to here.

Me too.

 

[Arsey]

Any thoughts on engine bars ?

There are these , which appear identical to the RE ones

Also this style which stick out more ?

Two days is the target to beat.

Do you need them?
Are you going to fall off?
Can’t see the point in adding crashbars to a relatively lightweight bike concept
Strong braced handguards should be sufficient
Put the bike gently on its side on the lawn and see what touches down would be a good way to find out if there any vulnerabilities

Don’t fall off.

Anyone going for an automatic chain oiler?

 

[Arsey]

Don’t fall off.

Yes but I’ll
Be taking mine on gnarly tracks , natch whereas I guess you won’t ?

I never go further than Tesco, to stand on the pegs.

Nope .

You got your bike yet ? What colour ?

 

[Wapping]

Cool bars to add Chinese lights to, GSer style.

Barkbusters handguards should be fine
You have no need to fit weighty crashbars - especially as the 450’s already come with bars to protect the tank area

Is the generator strong enough to power all these things ?

PS. I tried a 411 himmy yesterday. What a hoot ! It’s like going back in time to when bikes where simpler and more practical.

 

[Wapping]

Anyone going for an automatic chain oiler?

I have a very basic one on my 411. It’s very good.

 

[Wapping]

Is the generator strong enough to power all these things ?

The alternator on my 411 will run all my heated clothing, the phone and a navigation device, with no problems. I don’t have any ‘must have’ additional lights, nor am I running out to buy any.

 

[gspod]

Nope .

You got your bike yet ? What colour ?

Will be going for a test ride over the next few weeks, hopefully

The irony of it - to think @Doc was roundly criticized for farkling his new mighty Challenger steed, which was deemed inappropriate until ridden & evaluated.

OK, the price point is different here but, nevertheless, let's hope RE can deliver the 450s shortly, before farkle excitement turns into a simple storage a problem.

Just joshing - these look like an excellent deal. I must get along to CooperB at the Piggery & take a look.

Touring seat

Just ordered a new intercepter is the touring seat worth ordering? What other must have do the collective recommend?

Arsey, avoid Royal Spares, I had a large order in and paid for with them.....didn't get parts or my money back, months of trying and eventually my bank refunded me and chased them.

Was a strange one at the time as they where honouring EBay orders, but scammed hundreds of customers using their Web site ordering system.
