    Fitting a 650 screen to your Himalayan

    Today I fitted a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 screen to my Himalayan. That screen is a really good option. The brackets for the Interceptor are rather different to what is required for the Himalayan (different bikes, who'd have thunk it duh!) but Himalayan Tools offer brackets that will mount...

    LEDs in the turning indicator circuit

    The stuff you learn when you fit a sidecar... even though the sidecar is completely incidental. You lot probably know all this, but if you're like me, you didn't. If you include one or more LEDs in your turning indicator system, they get upset and flash too fast. Fitting a universal LED flasher...

No actual building done. I just put my bike on the centrestand, collected some bricks and loosely assembled the chair...

    Air injection system deletion

    Yeah, that's the system that feeds fresh air into the exhaust to fool the emissions people... and it's also responsible for all that popping and banging on over-run. Well, mine 'fell off' today. :D I have a carby bike and on those, it's a vacuum system. The efi bikes have an electrically...

    And a hello from the wilds of Adelaide

    G'day all. I've just discovered you. Just joined. I have a 2019 Himalayan (carby, no ABS, a king's ransom in farkles) which somehow got the name Gimli's Axe. No, I don't know how it happened. By way of introduction, I have a youtube channel called Adelaide Oldphart...
