thanks for this....just got my GIVI crash bars last night from CarpiMoto...3 days shipped from Italy to NY (better than Amazon lately), and a great price...just got done installing, and it went flawless...almost.....LOL....that long bolt that you have to take out....the nut exceeded the size in my tool kit.....so I had a little strippage, but not too bad...could have been worse...would have taken me a hell of a lot longer if I had to rely on the instructions that came with it....moving the master cylinder reservoir made the hose kind of tight, it had JUST enough slack.....thanks again Ol' Man Ronin
on to ordering the pannier racks and panniers....and then watching THAT video....I think that job will be a little tougher....I am just worried about moving the lights.....
Awesomeness so glad the tips helped Cheers and thank you
@@OlManRonin ordered a sticker from your Etsy last week....it is just waiting for my panniers.....
@@chicknman72 dud you receive the sticker??
@@OlManRonin I received the sticker...I put in for a freebee a couple weeks prior, but I think that one is floating around somewhere...lost and scared...LOL...but that's ok...it is all about representing...wanted yours to be one of the first
I’ve got the givi bars + givi spots
However the best accessory I’ve fitted this week is a ‘ Old man Ronin’ sticker
Many thanks for sending this at your own cost 👍
Send you a photo as soon as it stops raining here in the UK
awesomeness and you're too kind cheers Paul
Just got around to watching this one. There must be some subtle differences between your Himalayan and my 2021, I was able to complete the install without having to loosen the exhaust and and the oil cooler. I never thought about adding loctite, but I now have a project for tomorrow. Was happy to see that I wasn’t the only one with the mislabeled bolt sizes in the the destructions LOL. Also, you’re not the only person that had to go back and insert the forgotten washer 🤔 Love the channel.
Nice video. I bought the OE engine guards but I know they will fold like an accordion if I ever dump my bike.
Kinda why I went the Givi route and off road you will dump it.
This is my first motorcycle and I plan only fire roads for now.
yep, they do. they lasted less than 50 km on mine until i gave them a push to stretch the legs and they folded forwards. Don't even bother thinking about leaving them on, replace them before the unforeseen happens and the bike decides to have a little lie down.
Good video !!!!! But lube your chain bro, its a little rusty/crusty :)
lol We just got back from Florida running through all the salty winter roads it is now. I was waiting for the first comment on that LOL
I know that I'm late to the party, but armed with the knowledge you have so competently shared, I'm about to install the same Givi bars on my SCRAM 411. Thanks to you I will kee6p a look out for that washer and make sure it goes where it belongs. I enjoyed "meeting" you too.
Awesomeness Nick. Take a pic of you and the Scram and Email it to me for subscriber shout out
One thing I noticed with the Scram was that there is NO need to relocate the rear brake reservoir. That was a pleasant surprise as there was way less hose available to comfortably use that relocation part. Also no need to loosen headers nor oil cooler on the Scram (though I had to temporarily zip tie the oil line out of the way). But all in all job done and bike looks great! 👍🏼🔧🍻
Just finished the install of Givi's crash bars on my '23. The job was a breeze(ish) on account of your tutorial. Much obliged, sir.
One note: no need to relocate master cylinder on the '23; I reckon RE made the adjustment on the assembly line.
Just In Time! After a 168 day wait, I just picked up my Himalayan yesterday, and to my surprise, they had the Givi crash bars in stock despite the fact I had stopped into the dealership a few months ago and asked about ordering the crash bars, and they said they could not order them. Anyway, I have them sitting here and hope to get them installed (perhaps tonight) on my New Himalayan that still only has 17 miles on it. Thanks for the great video.
Awesomeness congrats
Got them installed. Very helpful. I didn't need to move the Master Cylinder. I tried but the hose was too short and didn't have enough slack so I put it back on and took a look at the crash guards and thy fit perfectly without having to move it. Sweet. Watching you loosen the exhaust and oil cooler bolts was super helpful cause I would have likely disassembled everything and then lost half of the bolts in the meantime. Thanks again for your help.
Hello from South Korea who's about to get Himalayan 2021 model soon. Hoping this video helps me do the same when I get mine :)
Good one! I did the SW Mototech guards on mine. I've learned to be patient. Measure twice and cut once.
Did crashbars on my Shadow..(cobra)..had to remove exhaust' a pain in the A.. to get on again if you are one..thankfully my mate showed up' so we could press up the crashbar in right position'ohh it was tight :)..
Great video, FYI update, 2022 and newer you don't have to move the brake fluid reservoir.
I like watching your vid's. I am originally from Columbus. Live in Sydney Australia now. Ride 365 days a year.
Exhaust, yeah, hickups, yeah, enjoyed it, yeah !!! Good footage
Thank you
Hi and thank you for your video. I would recommend not to use the extension for the master cylinder oil. It's not necessary in Himalayan 2022. In this way it is better protected and the rubber hose remains without tension
Nice clear video, thanks. I have a set of bars arriving this week & the motorbike week after.. Will be one of my first jobs. I am a believe in copper grease and would be tempted to use that rather than loctight.
YOUR VIDEO IS REAL GOOD , ALL YOUR JOBS DONE VERY PATIENTLY - BIG THUMPS UP - RIAZ FROM DOHA QATAR - FAN OF ALL ROYAL ENFIELD PRODUCTS
Thank you so much my friend Cheers
Thanks for this video. Just did the install on my brand-new 2021 Himalayan yesterday and the tips helped. Everything was easy except for the brake reservoir where the hose barely reaches. I'm not sure why some people in the comments have said they were able to do the install on their 2021s without loosening the exhaust or oil cooler - I had to because there was no way the bottom right-side bolt could get in with the limited space behind the exhaust pipe, and the oil cooler pipe on the left side was right on top of the engine mount bolt. I wonder if Royal Enfield's assembly tolerances between bikes aren't exactly consistent lol.
This is great info...I quite literally just ordered these same engine guards a few days ago. Very helpful tips indeed.
Awesomeness and thank you for watching. Live to see you subscribe as well Cheers
Ditto, feel much more informed for fitting them myself now. Thanks Ol" Man Ronin!
Thanks for sending another sticker ronin really appreciate it, if the other one turns up then i have one for the car and one for the interceptor, cheers mate.
Nicely done.
Step by step stuff so it’s easy to follow.
Luved the way you tell people not to tighten stuff up straight away and that you explained the need to slacken off the exhaust a little.
Nice one.
Ride safe
Neil
Thank you Neil Cheers
The bars arrived this lunchtime. Very easy fit after watching your video, apart from moving the brake reservoir-the rubber was only just long enough. Didn’t have to slacken the exhaust or move the oil cooler.
All the best, John
Glad it helped John
Also thanks from the other side of the Atlantic. I followed your step by step instructions and it worked like a charm. The 2021 Model doesn’t require a repositioning of the brake fluid reservoir. One less step to worry about.
Thanks for your great and helpful videos.
Kind regards from Germany
Chris
Thank you Chris I really appreciate your comment and for you subscribing. Cheers
Thanks OMR. Great job. Good info. God bless. Happy trails.
THANK YOU OLD MAN RONIN, JHN 3:16
Very happy to see the installation process. It's looking so simple. I can also do this myself. Thanks for this video. 👍👍👍
IThank you for watching Dr. Much appreciated
Just fitted mine tonight could not get bar through frame to start with had to file out hole Also bolt behind exhaust pipe cut 8mm off length so I could tighten up
Great video, really helpful, after watching your episode where you were riding in cedar keys, it inspired me enough that I went and ordered a new Himalayan, and will order the givi bars while I wait for 2 weeks for it to be delivered, looking forward to future adventures, thanks again OMR
thats awesome Peter. Cheers
I got my engine guard this week and I did not have to change or place anything anywhere else. I ride a 21 Model, maybe RE changed it already because Givi did not.
JUST A PIECE OF EXTRA INFORMATION - THEY HAVE A REAL GOOD EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR HIMALAYAN - FROM A COMPANY CALLED GURSEWAK EXHAUST SYSTEM - REAL GOOD ONE , SEEMS LIKE ITCHY BOOTS USED ON HER BIKE , ON ALL HER RIDES >
complete exhaust or just muffler??
I use to same crash bars from GIVI, You haven't in set small plastic bricks ? This cras bars is much moore robust them original crash bars 👍
I have this GIVI protection (TN9050) installed on my Himalayan.
The left part protrudes and continuously hits the left ankle.
I have contacted the manufacturer, sent photos, and explained the problem.
They have treated me correctly, but they tell me that the protection is designed that way.
Other users have the same problem.
Dont mind me just catching up on some Old Man Ronin vids while at work, been busy lately
Finally had time to fit my Givi bars and fell at the first hurdle. While trying to re- locate the master cylinder using the bracket supplied I discovered the tubing to the master cylinder was too short to move enough to reach the new bracket.
did you try fitting it without moving the master cylinder?
@@OlManRonin Hi Ronin, thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated. I've taken another look, I may just be able to get it on without moving the cylinder. I'll try again tomorrow before work. All the best from England!
SRC Moto has some really nice accessories for the Himalayan, I get everything from them. SRC is out of Pendleton Oregon. Thanks for the videos.
I agree. They are good to do business with.
I have ordered a few items from them but their not made in the USA. They’re a franchise of the Thai company Sriracha racing company.
I have the SRC crash bars and they provide the best protection and they have the best mounting points for accessory fog lights. Yes they are from thailand but dont lack in quality, shipping is very fast from somewhere in colorado I believe
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for this, was worried as looked a bit more involved than I hoped but fitted mine today went well with my TH-cam ‘homework’ …. Subscribed 👍
Awesomeness thank you and welcome
Reminder on and waiting with popcorn 🍿😉
I'm used to looking at an engine guard and it's design as to how I can put highway pegs on it for relaxing my legs on a trip 😂👍
When are you going to add an adventure sidecar? I'd love to see a Himalayan with a sidecar fitted. I have a KMZ Dnepr MT-11 with a sidecar and love it. I think a Himalayan setup like that would be even better. You would think a sidecar would hamper off road riding but with a little experience with one you learn to take advantage of the additional stability and riding becomes a lot easier and the fun is multiplied.
lol I'm not, but I'm sure it would be cool
About to install these on my 2021. Thanks SO much for the video! Always nice to be able to start with the whole process in mind, I appreciate this and your other vids! If you ever want to do some riding in Virginia's gorgeous Shenandoah Valley, give me a shout.
awesome and thank you!!
Loved this, Ronin - and the country music was my fave! The last piece of music was pretty cool too!
Thanks Mark I can't say how much I appreciate that
Magic mate, watching your video will make it a lot easier to fit mine (which should be arriving tomorrow). all the best, John
Congratulations John!! That's awesome keep us posted on you Himalayan Adventures Cheers
Excellent , clear and informative. I wish all video instructions were so well done!
Thank you
I concur! Anyone who has every had a "T.O." in their hands appreciates clear and concise instructions, as well as a few "real world" "horse sense" tips as well. 😎👍
Great install video OMR. Valuable tips. Your mechanical expertise shows!
Thank you FA much appreciated
I have done the job yesterday. The tube for brake fluid was a little bit short.
hmmm thats odd mine was not
Amazing ivecaiso just ordered Givi crash bars- will be good to see how you get on with installation 👍
It only takes about an hour, but heed the tips. it saves time
@@OlManRonin great tips and thanks for all tips.
Fitted mine today and all went really well.
The bolt next to exhaust was tricky to line up but other than that perfect.
I wish Riyal Enfield would at least put blanc bolts in the exposed threads to protect from weather.
Great work 🏍👌👏
@@DavidChalmersPhotography-UK id be happy with rubber inserts lol
Great, Keep loving you're Bike " BIG BRO" , but just absorved, your CHAIN has to be lubricated , hope you might have done that while reading my comment ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lmao, no I installed the givi right after I rolled it into the garage after our Florida trip. That's what road salt does in the winter after 2 days lol I was guessing with my wife on how many comments I'd get on that lol cheers
Hope she enjoys the comments and YOUR company along with the "HIMALAYAN", for NUMEROUS YEARS AHEAD👍👍👍
Awesome video! Your videos are great quality. I was able to install my Givi guards today using your instructions! Fun Saturday morning project
Awesome! Thank you! So very glad I could help! Cheers
No videos available have I seen that show how to put the givi bars on with the skid plate from SRC
Well I'm not sure I'm going that route unless they send me one ;)
Great video. Questions:
1. Is that an aftermarket oil cooler cover at 7:45?
2. If yes to 1, do you recommend installing the oil cooler cover _before_ the GIVI crash bars, or can the oil cooler be installed easily without removing the crash bars (maybe just loosening)?
No OEM on my 2018. as far as putting oil cooler cover on before Givi bars, it is up to you. same time would be perfect, but its not that big of install to the cooler cover
FACTORY EXHAUST USED TO CHANGE ITS COLOR OF ITS OUTER COVERING
and it did
Awesome work!! I love to watch your videos. I own a Royal Enfield Classic. But planning to buy a Himalayan soon.
Great video on the instal. I have to say, for as awesome as this motorcycle looks, I have to agree with what KarmeKazeMoto said about the exhaust pipe. Seeing it up close in this video really showed its unattractiveness. I wonder if I could find a place local that can do the ceramic coating that he did. RE should really switch that up on this bike....just my opinion.
Excellent video. Will order mine when my next Social Security check arrives. Every time I see dangling "hoodie" strings, I cringe, recalling the time that an idler pulley in my '69 Mercury Monterey (with a 429) caught one of mine and tried to pull my face into the exposed fan at Mach two! 🤯Scared me to death, but a valuable lesson was learned that day. 🤔😎
happy w the givi all these years later ?
Nice job. Does the RH bar restrict removal of the oil filter?
Nope. I'll be doing a oil change video soon. Lots of people are asking and its about time i do one! Stay Tuned.
Enjoyed watching! Are there torque settings for the exhaust and air cooler bolts?
looking for them myself lol
Perfect. Thanks for the help.
Hello there, great video... Could anyone tell me what size torque wrench I need for this job? Thanks.
I use 3/8 in drive. but of course that may be different in your neck of the woods
In India, we have an equivalent good one or even better... "Zana Crash Guard with Slider"
Cool. Never heard or seen one in the USA
I'm trying this right now. Started by taking those two bolts off the oil cooler to move it and it's tube out of the way, but even with both bolts off it doesn't budge! Feels like it's screwed in elsewhere. Any tips?
Great vid! Safe rides!
Fitted same and no probs with exhaust...but on RH I did not move the brake oil reservoir...seems like it has a few mm clearance...so is there another reason to do that and fit the bracket that came with the Givi??
Mine was the same with the reservoir, but I moved it as I had enough flex in the mount that it could have vibrated against he bar. Last thing you need is that developing a crack or wearing a hole in it. I had to modify my SRC cover that was on it to get it to fit again, that wasn't really needed now as its tucked further up out of the way of my big hooves, but it looks better with it on.
Having issues with the long bolt in the front. Managed to get it out but now it won't get back in all the way as it's hitting the part of the frame. Any tips?
like on a lot of frame mounted engines. Look to see if it slipped out of line and the hole is clear straight through. You might have to jack up the motor , but before you do, loosen the other motor mounts, dont take the bolts out, just loosen . Line up the front holes, slide the bolt back in and retighten and torque all of the bolts
Do you need to remove the givi bar to be able to have access to the oil filter?
not at all
Hi, have you mabe now any problem during repleace fhe oil filter? Bye, Tom
Zero issues
Great video waiting for my Bike to arrive her in Cal and am considering putting a set of the Givi bar guards on but wondering what your thoughts are on attacking some fold out foot Peg's to the guard for longer trips purviding there would even be a good placement spot for them I won't really know until I get to that point am going to be making a run up to Idiho in the coming months once I have the engine break in completed and the weather is in my favor would like to know what you think 🤔
they would be really close for me. I'm 6"2" if that helps so I wouldn't put them on for me
@@OlManRonin yea I'm around 5'10" with my boots but I have long legs for my size but once I get to the point of installing the guards I'll have to see about were my feet will end up, was thinking it would be nice to be able to stretch my legs out when the road allowed it and fold them up and secure them when I was off road but I'll let you know how it turns out Thanks for the reply be safe and take care
Naw bro go for the SRC bars, they have and added bar good for mounting fog light s if you serious going for off road
Hey question for you. I bought these guards and I’m having an install issue. The brake fluid tube isn’t long enough to use the small relocation bracket. Did you run into this issue?
I know guys who don't use the relocation bracket and the bars still fit try that
RONIN, you naughty boy, neglecting your chain like that, look at the rust at 12:00, need me to link a Harley guy that does maint on a Himalayan, I think hes in Ohio somewhere? hehehe
I just have to poke some fun at ya.
Looks like not all Himi's are created equal.
Interesting you loosened the oil cooler and exhaust.
When I fitted Givi's to mine it all bolted straight up, no need to undo anything other than the front top engine mount bolt and it slid straight out. never touched the exhaust. Master cyl reservoir relocation was the annoying bit, I had to "adjust" the SRC cover I had on it to get it to still work.
Great vid as always, and will certainly be useful for those that want to fit them. I do not recommend the factory 2 point mount bars, they bend if you use them as "highway" pegs when cruising, and I suspect they would fold against the cases if the bike fell off the stand.
I did get a bit of a rattle from mine a few weeks afterwards, one of the bolts on the rear pipe came loose, as you already did on yours, I added loctite, solved the problem.
Thanks for such an informative video, can't wait to fit mine once they arrive! Should I be using locktite? Does this affect the torque values?
No it helps vibration from loosening bolts and THANK YOU for watching and hopefully subscribing
@@OlManRonin I'm a fan of the channel from the UK and definitely subscribed 👍
I have now installed my Givi crash bars and thanks to your video it was very straightforward! I would have struggled with the instructions provided as they were more than basic. Great work again Ol'Man Ronin 👍
@@GR-332 Thank you for the awesome comment!
Great video! Question though: the bar with the threads you removed, is that the same one you put back in later on? And if so, why take it out? And again, great video - much appreciated!
All new hardware from Givi
I'll be needing a torque wrench when mine arrive. Which brand and model do you use? I see the settings for this job are 10Nm and 23Nm, so based on your experience on the Himalayan, do you need a wrench that goes much higher than 23Nm for other torque specs on the bike?
I have 2 torque wrenches and there are bunches in the market. I use Craftsman. But depends on what you want to get into tbh. For example, the axles are above 23nm. Bear with me, I'm a foot and inch pound guy, so I have to convert lol
@@OlManRonin You're a good man, thanks for the prompt reply!
@@ianlvt3780 You're welcome. Thank you for subscribing!
No leg gaurd in US....
We here have in every bikes from 100cc to 1000cc
Its a cultural thing there.
Having some plans of giving the bike some rest sideways, huh? :D
You never know and always prepared ;)
I began the installation today after watching your video (again). Sadly, on my 2022 Himalayan, the hose is not long enough to move the brake reservoir into position on the new bracket. So I faced with two options. The first is to cut the hose near the reservoir, make sure the remaining part doesn't drain, and put a nipple in line to extend the hose about 2 inches. Then I can mount the reservoir and slowly add and jiggle things in hopes the air will bubble up and out.
The second option would be to replace the entire hose and then bleed the rear brake. That's seems more involved to me.
Any advice on which option to take?
See if it fits without using the bracket altogether. Some of the newer models will fit. Try that first if not, I would highly avoid cutting lines.
last resort, replace with longer lines, unless you are a certified brake line specialist. Too much pressure for a cut and splice
@@OlManRonin Well, you are the man. It never occurred to me that it might actually fit as is. Sure enough, I bolted the reservoir back in place and there is an inch of space between the engine guard and the reservoir.
I'm glad I didn't forge ahead with my side cutters. As you've said in some of your videos --- patience.
@@ScooterintheSticks Whew so glad you got a hold of me and so glad it worked out!
@@OlManRonin It was nice to get to the end of that little job. I made a video afterward in which I call out your contribution to success. Thanks again for the help!
Hello brother I don't get this guard in India can you ship it to me, I will pay, If you can help, thankyou
Im so sorry, I dont sell parts like that. Im certain you can find a retailer in Europe that would ship to India. Thank you so much for thinking of me though! Cheers
An explanation as to why you removed my comment would be nice
if its negative, political or just inappropriate its gone..So it was probably one of those. Have a great day and be nice
@@OlManRonin thanks, it was none of the above, it was complimentary but I did point out the correct torque setting for the engine mount bolt of 50Nm and gave a link to the workshop manual.
I feared you had taken it as a criticism which wasn’t my intention
@@welldeckdiaries5610 Repost it if it was just that. I simply dont remember. People who are Patreons of my channel can download the complete service manual on my page. Thanks for the clarification. Cheers
Your chain looks a little dry
It Does? OMG? Yes I just pulled the bike off the carrier made the video and then cleaned the chain. Salty winter roads did that in less than 2 days ugh
your chain is rusty, dont forget to oil it......
lol shes supposed to lose some weight. heavy bike
