I plan on doing a similar trip in the next five years... I’m kind of an outdoors/bushcraft geek, so I plan on making all of my own bike luggage from leather. Hmmmm.... need to form an organization (MC?) for traveling around the world on bikes, so that we can travel in groups large enough that we are safer from small time thieves, etc. safety in numbers, singles look like targets.
what about the back side of bag facing towards the wheel is that parts is water proof of the back because when you cover it with a green raingaurd due to hanging purpose some of the back part must be uncovered
The bag material is extremely thick not sure if i should call it waterproof or water resistant . I always pack my clothes in ziplock pouches inside the bag to avoid any scenario similar to what you described
hey man. I pinged the two brands on instagram about this. no one responded :( sorry! I do think you would have a tonne of options in the USA though :) here in India we keep drooling at the gear you get there :D
@@MotoSlug I was able to get a message from Rynoxgears.com. They will ship to me here in Los Angeles. However, I like the Dirtsack. Thank you. I will keep looking
Hey man, sure thing will do. While I dont have the himalayan anymore, I have done it earlier on my Mojo and recently on the xpulse too. Will figure out how to go about it.
@@HANNONDU got 2 xpulses for the price of one himalayan 😅 wanted somethinf cheap and light. Got a little tired of paying a premium for service and not even getting a bike with a perfect cone set
@@HANNONDU Wanted something for trail riding around the city. Not the best for highway touring, the fz would definitely be good if you want road biased touring
Very informative video, brother! Quick question - At 3:35 you say you have tied down your RE Keylong back with what straps please? And is it cheaper to buy them online?
hey avinash, i used rubber along with foam since i wanted it to not sink while riding long hours. Youneed to ask the seat maker to flatten the curve of the seat,so that your thigh get support.
Hey Buddy. All the best, have been following you for a long time on FB and been watching your videos. All the very best for you journey! Something very special is in the making.. One suggestion, why don't you invest a bit in a good mic. That will greatly enhance the overall video experience from a viewer perspective.
thank you for the encouragement :) means a lot! Thought a lot about the mic setup already :( issue is I shoot everything on the gopro, and mic setup on gopro needs adapter etc. It's a tedious, clumsy and expensive setup and even after doing all this, it would be a directional mic not noise cancellation... But I agree must figure out the sound part soon
Hey, the RE ones are pannier mounting frames, not saddle stays so their position is a little bit different. Also more expensive. The zana ones worked perfectly fine for my use case
A loaded Himalayan is always soothing to the eye..
Yes...It looks so so Hot with all stuff 😂
Himalayan with this much mods looks amazing not more and less

That's a wealth of information. All the best for your trip and keep sharing.

Also your harder seat, where was that made? A good update to info section would be awesome.
sure, will do. I have actually made flat seats for multiple bikes at different stores. The trick is to increase thigh support and reduce curvature
Can you please please share the barkbuster model no. or the link please , also for the brake cylinder guard ..
Hey, the "barkbuster" is a fake one from aliexpress, don't think it is available anymore. The brake cyl guard is from the continental GT 535
Hi, u got link for side rack & handguards
I like DirtSack and Rynox, but not sold here in EBay or Amazon here in USA. Ideas where I get these? thank you in advanced

Why u keep saddle bag on Himalayan silencer.its can be damage your saddle bag when silencer heat
it is not resting on the silencer. if you watch the video, you will see i talk about it
👍 what did you use to improve the seat comfort? And how did you do it? Perhaps you could do a short video on that? Many Thanks!
Hey man, sure thing will do. While I dont have the himalayan anymore, I have done it earlier on my Mojo and recently on the xpulse too. Will figure out how to go about it.
@@MotoSlug Why did u sell it..? I am about to buy RE Himalayan BS6
@@HANNONDU got 2 xpulses for the price of one himalayan 😅 wanted somethinf cheap and light. Got a little tired of paying a premium for service and not even getting a bike with a perfect cone set
MotoSlug how is Xpulse doing for touring , why could not u go for FZs 250..?

Happy journey and safe travels to you!
Very informative video, brother!
Quick question - At 3:35 you say you have tied down your RE Keylong back with what straps please?
And is it cheaper to buy them online?
Hey Thanks! Rok straps, get the wider one
Hello sir,

Very informative! Could you share where you bought the saddle stays from?

Great video, very helpful. Bike looks really clean!
Where to buy that saddle bag
Can you provide some info on the seat. Having the same issue as you had mentioned. Looking for an alternate badly. Thanks

How did the seat mods turn out?
When silencer get heated is there any damages to bags ?
nope, the bag dosnt touch the silencer
Hi bro.... Helpfull video!
Have you done any mods on your rear tyre/wheel?
How good is the tyre life???
thanks arjun
My first set was usable for about 10k kms. It all depends on how much road/offroad usage you have. Also riding style.
Are zana saddle stays better than the RE Ones?
Hey, the RE ones are pannier mounting frames, not saddle stays so their position is a little bit different. Also more expensive. The zana ones worked perfectly fine for my use case
@@MotoSlug Can we use the RE ones for saddle bags?
@@aniruddhamajumder yes you can, its just a little further back and closer to the bikes body, than what would be ideal
MotoSlug Are the back indicators visible if you use the Zana ones?
@@aniruddhamajumder they are from the back, but not the best position. the relocators that come with the RE pannier stays are much better
Great vid, where did you get taller handelbar?
thanks! got it custom made at a rally products shop
So mate what's the route you gonna be taking..
Laptop in a softcase... Any precautions?
