Thanks for this.... I think you don't have to remove the rear set pad. The long bolt will enable you to remove the back seat and indeed loosen (not remove) the bolts on the top of the springs.
The look is right on Beki. There is no need for a pillion seat other than holding gear. I wonder if the same setup could be achieved on the Himalayan. Dropping is different than T- bone. The bike is quite the looker. Great video.
Big improvement over the duel seat. Got a chrome version on my Red and Chrome classic. Plus you loose a pile of weight of course . Also changed out my silencer for a Punjab shorty which sounds great but did need some fiddling with in order to retain the heat shield as it has no mountings for it. Only cost £60 for the silencer and £14 for a removable baffle. Which if you dont want to upset the neighbours is needed. But my goodness it now sounds like the fabulous Velocette Thruxton.
Nice video. I do have a small suggestion. You can avoid inadvertently causing damage to your tank by putting a couple of towels on the tank when ever you are working on the bike. Same with those beautiful mud guards. Easy way to avoid disaster. I I like that rack.
The finish on the Hitchcock's unit is much better than the original ones from India. Nice. BTW you don't need to remove the rear seat from the subframe, just the long seat bolt and the two shock mounting bolts. I took mine off the minute I got home from the dealer

There is no need to remove the rear seat or hand rail separately , they both come away as one unit with the sub frame. Regards Edward

very helpful video....Thanks
Hi, i have a classic 500 efi 2019 model, will this rack fit my bike?
What do you think of a crash guard for classic 350?
.
It looks a bit close to your paint on your rear mudguard?
Do you think it is a good bike ? 😊
Yes.
