I am buying two of these. With a little modification this will work to lift the bike just a bit on the side stand. I think the only mod beyond drilling and using longer screws will be trimming an angle on the side where it wants to hit the swing arm. It will be an interesting experiment.
I've got a shoe almost exactly like this on my Bonneville and it works very well. I have been searching for a similar shoe for my RE Classic 350 which has the same problem. I'll go to aliexpress and look around.
The enlarger arrived today and is as good as you advised, all the parts have been black powder coat finished which I think is better than the plain version. Only modification I took was to remove from the base, with a file angled at 45 degrees, at the point ( below the H of Himalayan) as there is a slight contact when sidestand returns in position and caught against the mainstand (likely vibration?). Very minor issue as the plate is so thick has no effect on operation. Thanks again.
With respect to tyres, I've just ordered a set of Anlas Capra X 50/50 tyres. A friend has been running them on his Tuareg and rates them, so I figured I'd give them a try. The Ceats are fine on the road but on the trails just won't cut it in the mud.
Great video but I think you said that the extension adds 20mm, it doesnt look like it does The Base may be nearer to 20mm but it has a recess of about 10mm so it would increase the height by about 10mm Could you please check as I would like to fit one too Pirelli MT60s for tyres, had a few people asking asking about mine, great tyres I tried going down a narrow country lane on the original tyres and lost control at about 10mph, the insurance co wrote it off. So be careful as I am sure you will be 😉 But I got a full payout as I bought it new and it was less than 6 months old. Accessories were paid out too. Bike Sure if anyone is interested (Adrian Flux company) Had the same colour as you (Kaza) but replaced it with the Hanle Black tubed I have the same hand guards but havent fitted them yet, do you like them and did you keep the weight attached as I think it is supposed to be 😀
Thank you for your comments. You was spot on with th 10mm rais and not 20mm due to the recess. Great tyre choice also. The hand guards fitted very well and survived a couple of drops. Highly recommend them. They do come with other fixings but you can fit them accordingly to your needs. Cheers Mick.

Yes your absolutely right. I did take the screws back out and lock tight them. I didn't want that thing working loose and flying off down the motorway. Cheers Mick

@@johnrykken7113 sounds good. Let me know how you get on. Cheers Mick.
That is a really good idea. I was also wondering if there😢 was any extension that could be added. Thank you for another fab video
Hi Susan, many thanks for your comments. I'm sure someone will be doing an extender for this bike soon. Cheers Mick

Im sure you will find one on there. I cant believe they are not a standard item on motorcycles.

Many thanks for sharing I’ve never tried these tyres before, but will definitely give them a look. Cheers Mick.
Thanks for the advice - have ordered that sidestand enlarger - should be fitted for the Royal Enfield rideout on 22nd sept
@@daveh1625 your welcome. It’s a nice bit of kit, and looks great on the bike too. Cheers Mick

Loctite on the bolts, they're poor quality aluminium. If you don't want to lose it...
Just for security. 😇

Motos tyres
Many thanks for your suggestion. They seem to be the preferred tyre. Cheers Mick
