Hey Stuart, that's a nice video, very informative. I wanted to get the auxiliary lights installed for quite sometime. Now I know what needs to be done. Thanks a lot!
U took so long to get this video out.... But it was worth the Wait.... niceeeeee work buddy...... Wanna see the way u gonna use ur saddle bags which u had mentioned in your last video... Waiting for that 😃 all the best
I am not sure about the mounting of lights. The are gonna move a hell lot with the front fork slider. Could you have placed them on the upper part of fork which doesn't move? Maybe positioning the bracket upside down would work. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Stuart another very interesting video excellent detail and parts suppliers information. Can you tell me the output of the alternator. I was wondering how the Himalayan would cope with the led lights, heated grips and heated jacket. Thank you Regards David.
Hi David. I don't know the exact output, but at the end of the day it is only charging the battery so as long as you aren't using those things all the time the battery will cover the peaks and troughs.
Personally I prefer crimped connections. A proper crimp connection is always better than a soldered one. With a soldered connection you create a stiff part in a flexible copper wire. When you ride along the whole car or bike vibrates, and this causes the copper to work harden. It'll take many many many many years but eventually the wire will break right at where the solder starts. So whenever I need to splice wires, I cut them in half, put a bulled connector on each end and just add an extra wire to one of the bullet connectors before crimping. Then connect the connectors and heat shrink around it.
Interesting point about the work hardening. The main reason that I solder is that with all the salt air around here I find that the soldered connections are more resistant to corrosion, but the heat shrink does help a fair amount with that.
Hey great channel! I'm in the USA and the Himalayan is being imported later this spring/ summer. I hate oil coolers and on this bike it seems to be a weak point. I was able to remove the cooler on my 06 triumph scrambler and route the oil line to the frame tubes. This gave me an extra liter of oil capacity and kept temps the same. Any idea if the RE frame tubes are suited to a mod like this?
How's your experience of having the Royal Enfield Himalayan? I'm planning on buying the euro 4 spec version but have heard a hell lot of negative reviews and magneto coils and ignition coils failing often. Should I consider this as my next motorcycle or look elsewhere? Reply would be much appreciated :)
Hi Akshay, I'm loving the bike so far. It's comfortable, in handles well on-road and off-road, it looks great, it is affordable. I too was worried before buying it but now I would just say go for it. You may have a problem that needs solving down the track, but that is life. RE have been doing a great job of fixing any problems so I would wouldn't be worried. I haven't had a single issue myself.
hey! I've been wondering if there's a way to install leds, without having to use a relay or messing with the high beam wiring of the bike. Can I just go straight to the battery and istall a swith to operate the led lights completely independent from the stock ones? would you recommend to install a fuse too? cheers!
The Himalayan is being shipped to the US. I am interested, because I have short legs, but I am seeing nasty reviews of this bike on youtube. So, I was wondering if you would recommend this bike as being reliable? Also, do you experience oil leaks? Thanks.
Hi mate, so far I am really happy with the bike. I think there were some problems in the early days but these seem to be getting sorted out. The export models also seem to be built using all the latest parts to enhance the Royal Enfield reputation over seas. If this bike got stolen I would buy another one straight away if that tells you anything. :)
Hello , I was earlier taking the connection directly from the ignition wire but now I did the same configuration what you have done. The intensity of the fog lamps has decreased lot. Did you face the same?
No, if anything it should be brighter going through the relay. I would check all the connections. Sounds like there is some high resistance somewhere causing a reduction in current flow.
Hi, I've been following your channel and I've also bought a Himalayan. I was wondering, do you have any experience or have found any heated grips solution for the bike? Also, do you have any issues running your LED lights, considering that the generator on the Himalayan is probably limited to what it can output. I am now running a Garmin Zumo unit off the battery and have some doubts weather or not the bike can actually power all these things simultaneously (i.e LED lights, USB outlet, heated grips, GPS unit, etc.) Thanks!
I have plenty of accessories (Oxford Heated Grips, Usb Charger with a twin output for charging my SatNav/phone, 2 x LED spotlamps & Gerbing Heated gloves for my wife - she feels the cold bless her) on my bike (A Versys 1000) and like you I need to know my battery is not going to die on me through lack of power output from the alternator, so I installed a voltmeter on the dash from good ol' fleabay. Quite cheap and it's brilliant. I run a pretty constant 14.5v and as I power on each accessory I see a small drop in the voltage but even with them all powered on I still achieve 13.8v. It's confidence inspiring knowing I can monitor the health of my charging system and the battery irrespective of what accessories I'm running. Likewise It's nice to get a heads up if something is going wrong.
Hey man, I've really been enjoying your videos. I'll be fitting some LED's to my Himalayan this weekend. Does anyone know the power of the alternator on the BS4 UK? Can it handle loads of accessories? Heated grips/ seat, USB charging, LED spot lights etc. Keep up the good work!
@@DangarMotorcycling I never did find out but I have fitted the 40 watt LED's, heated hand grips, USB charger and a heated seat pad. Using all these accessories the battery is still being charged well as far as I can tell. After sitting for a week the bike starts no problem.
Stuart, how can I contact you offline as I would like to ask you about pannier racks, ie factory versus aftermarket brands, suppliers etc Regards Alan Reilly
I got my pannier racks from Donowyn donowyn.com/ I also need to replace the top box rack as it isn't strong enough for the weight I need to carry when touring.
Dangar Motorcycling My father owned two of them, I grew up around the second. She did have a mood, threw her tantrums but my best memories are of riding with her. So many people complain about lack of quality in bikes when half of them have never owned and cared for one. I guess riding is all about revving nowadays. Thanks for your vids on the Himalayan, hope to buy it soon.

Hello past Stu, what a surprise - so serious and focussed, with a blackboard, my don’t time fly!
Here now awaiting shenanigans with Adrian 😎
Thanks, Stuart. I recently bought a 2020 Himalayan and will be relying on your excellent tutorials, for this task and the USB socket mod. Great work!
instaBlaster.
Hey Mate, just installed my lights on the Himalayan, great video, easy to follow, and informative. Thanks for taking the time to explain and video.
Thanks mate, glad the video helped you. :)
Awesome! Job well done on explaining the relay circuit. That is an amazing way to set up your aux lights. Good job. Waiting for more.
Thanks mate. Will do the saddlebags next.
Hey Stuart, that's a nice video, very informative. I wanted to get the auxiliary lights installed for quite sometime. Now I know what needs to be done. Thanks a lot!
You're welcome mate, good luck with your install!
Dangar Motorcycling Thanks mate!
Hi Stuart, another fantastic video, your detail to attention is Absolutely Magnificent... Way to go Bro....
Thanks Donowyn, and thanks for a great mounting bracket.
Dangar Motorcycling I'm happy that you liked it and finaly put it to use.
Good idea having led lights.Nice job.
Thanks mate, glad you liked it!
U took so long to get this video out.... But it was worth the Wait.... niceeeeee work buddy...... Wanna see the way u gonna use ur saddle bags which u had mentioned in your last video... Waiting for that 😃 all the best
Thanks mate. I'm still looking for someone to sew the saddle bags so they fit this bike. Will hopefully have time to look into that tomorrow.
Nice job mate..the mods so far are all great !
Thanks Mark. Looking forward to doing a video outside the workshop when a mate and I go for a ride in a few weekend's time.
you deserve a 100 Likes bro, nice job
Thanks mate! :)
I am not sure about the mounting of lights. The are gonna move a hell lot with the front fork slider.
Could you have placed them on the upper part of fork which doesn't move? Maybe positioning the bracket upside down would work.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
It will be interesting to see how they go. I'll do that follow up video riding with them on and maybe make changes down the track if needed.
Dangar Motorcycling I'll be waiting, eagerly. Add to that, it should also increase their life a bit.
I also have them placed in same place in motorcycle and the help in night as main headlight is focused on one place ...
Good video buddy. Although had to wait for this video for quite some time it was worth it.
Thanks mate, glad you liked it. :)
Great video and good to c u back again buddy
Thanks mate, hope to not leave it so long next time. :)

Thanks for that. I'm in the UK so have sent yer man an enquiry for price and post. Mentioned your site for the lead.

Hi, can you explain about the part under the engine (mud guard protector). Also explain the circuit and the black tube
Good work mate 🙏
Thank you!
Hello! Which knobs have you replaced on the handlebar!?? Will you make the video!???Thank you.
Enjoying your video you are very good at it keep up the good work
Cheers
Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying them.
Excellent informative video mate!...👍🏻
Thanks Mandar!
Hello Sir, I'm A proud owner of the Himalayan, and I enjoy your videos. Can you please share the link of the bracket...
Hi mate. Unfortunately there isn't a link to the bracket, just contact Donowyn Rodricks on Facebook.

Hey brother...can you suggest a permanent solution or a DIY for the rattling sound on the handle bar region
I've never heard that sound. Where does it come from?
Nice idea 👍👍👍
Thanks Raj. :)
Is there any problem by grounding the ground from relay and lights to bikes body, any metal nut like that istead of giving it to battery negative?
Awesome!

Beautiful wiring diagram :o, would this work with passing switch too?
i mean the yellow switch on left hand
@@tameragon It would if you had the auxiliary switch on.
Can u provide the facebook link from where u got that mounting bracket.. pls...!
I've put a link to Donowyns page in the description. There isn't a direct product link to the bracket itself.
Aditya Gawde hi bro you can go to www.donowyn.com
4:49 cdei yengo eina hydo c ne
Dont u think the tank guard frame is a better place to mount the auxilliary lights...your current place looks like it will shake a lot!
They were fine, even off road.
How is lights? Do post some lights of it
I'll do a riding video soon.
Hi did you face any weird noice from engine in your Himalayan
+Enfield riders No, no strange noises.
Hey man, I've really been enjoying your videos. I'll be fitting some LED's to my Himalayan this weekend. Does anyone know the power of the alternator on the BS4 UK? Can it handle loads of accessories? Heated grips/ seat, USB charging, LED spot lights etc.

Hey Matt, I'm not sure what the charge coil puts out on these bikes, I'd be keen to know too.
@@DangarMotorcycling I never did find out but I have fitted the 40 watt LED's, heated hand grips, USB charger and a heated seat pad. Using all these accessories the battery is still being charged well as far as I can tell. After sitting for a week the bike starts no problem.
where do I get a mounting for my driving lights [ Himalayan ]. thanks.

Please bro install led lights with the relay....
I'm not sure I understand, this setup does use a relay.
Isn't there a simpler way?
No, not to achieve this configuration.
I guess you could duct tape an LED torch to your helmet.
