When I got around to creating this new (at the time) 9 photos series, featuring photos of the BMW G 310 GS, I did not complete it. Now with BMW has decided to make the 310GS available here in india, it just makes sense to pick up this old draft, becuase it is now finally relevant. So, enjoy the series of the new BMW G 310 GS – ready for everyday adventures.

Life after riding 10000km on a Himalayan – Long Term Ownership Update
Now that I have finished riding 10000km on a Himalayan, it is time to look at the pros and cons of owning this motorcycle. What Royal Enfield has been up to, to fix the mega-debacle that the Himalayan has been for a large part of its first year of existence. The motorcycle has let me down a few times, but overall 2016 has turned out to be one the better riding years in terms of riding days. Under all the luggage in the image above is a Himalayan. So, that is good. Read the 5k on the Himalayan review, before reading this.

Saddlebag stay for Himalayan – Full Review
I was pretty happy with the setup when I bought the saddlebag stay for Himalayan from Donowyn. We were headed out for a 10-day trip in South India.

If you have not read part 1 in this series, where I cover the purchase, installation, size comparisons, etc., head over to the Royal Enfield Himalayan Saddle Bag Stay story and read that first.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 5000km Review
Having bought the Royal Enfield Himalayan earlier in 2016, I am now writing the 2nd instalment in the long term ownership series. This post is the Royal Enfield Himalayan 5000km review which covers service recalls, quality, mods and general thoughts around how this motorcycle has fared for me over the last few months. I finished 5k mid-August 2016, about three months after having bought it. If you do not have time and want to read the Royal Enfield Himalayan 5000km review in short with my recommendation, skip directly to the end of this post. What feedback do you have for me? Feel free to leave a comment. Continue reading Royal Enfield Himalayan 5000km Review
Royal Enfield Himalayan Saddle Bag Stay
Most of our one-day or weekend rides require little regarding luggage space. But, for an upcoming trip, it became evident that I would need a Himalayan saddle bag stay to figure out a way to load saddlebags onto the bike without fouling with either the silencer or the rear wheel. I could either buy an existing one or build one from scratch.
This post is Part 1 of 2, where I cover the following:
- purchase
- alteration
- installation
- size comparison
Once I am back from the tour, I will publish part 2 of 2 with real-world usage data based on how the saddlebag stays for the Himalayan performed and by then the 10,000km service review of the Himalayan too.
