This video explains the 33 ⅓ modifications we have made to our 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan based in the USA. We've had a lot of fun figuring out how to improve parts of the bike, and how to solve a few riddles in order to accomplish various tasks. Deciding what we wanted to do, figuring out what parts to get and where to source them was part of the fun. [When you get to the Barkbusters part, the 'links' we made are from ¾" x 3/16" flat bar, not ⅛" thick as I mention in the video.]

Check out our short followup video with 5 more mods two of which help to transform the bike:
