For removing vibrations on handlebar of my previous motorcycle I had used the bar end weights of pulsar 150/180 bikes which are quite heavy and they dampens out the vibration to a much greater extent.. 💫
I always enjoy when you talk about the bikes you ride. With all your riding experience you are really able to talk knowledgeably about the value of modifications. ALSO, very nice 'staging' for the video. You in front, Faith just behind, good audio, and nice graphics. I'm just starting my channel and am learning that those things do not happen by accident. Nicely done!
Like all your videos specially the narration. Since I am an Royal Enfield technician I would like to give you some suggestions. 500 cc will vibrate at high speeds, no doubt. Heavy tyres will increase unsprung weight, bad for suspension & comfort. Please maintain company specified tyre pressure, front 20-22 psi, rear 30-32psi, great for comfort and maneuvering. Front fork oil capacity has been respecified 490 ml(previously 420ml) per fork, we put 470ml at work shops. Interceptor fork covers are of very good quality though pricey. Try handlebar from Thunderbird X models with the bar end vibration dampers, will be great for posture and great leverage for turning. Feel free to ask anything, will feel happy if my suggestions improve your riding experience.
Hi, i have a thunderbird 350 i replaced its stock handle bar with the thunderbird 350x's handle bar but the new handlebar gives un bearable vibration over 80+ speed, can you advise how to resolve this as i love the new handle
Rohit Bhai! Just love your narration. It is a simple video about modifications performed and yet I felt like I'm listening to a story. Can't wait for you be on the road again and mesmerise us with your story telling. Cheers 🍻
Bro good to see u back Pls do a video about ur job , what made to passion to ride And important of all how u manage funds for ur trip Pls consider this and do a video bro . This might help many young riders who have passion to ride
Wow bro really so nice to see your video in quarantine.. Wish this time all can go for a long rides.. But we cannot.. So your videos give that long ride feel.. Really great and you are a real inspiration..
Sir i love ur videos very much... Ur travel vlogs are awesome... And the best part is when you give voice over and saying some beautiful lines... And can't understand why and for what reason this channel is "Underrated".
Well, I saw your Faith modifying video before, followed you for the entire TO2K. Cannot forget the terrains of Nepal that Faith has taken you. But as I don't ride a motorcycle cannot tell the tech aspects of it, but happy to know 90% of the modifications have been useful for you.
1) Get Art of motorcycles handlebar 2) Get the rear set foot pegs work done from art of motorcycles and modify the seat according to your hight and and handlebar posture. 3) Fork gaters 4) AOM have got better log lamps I’m eagerly waiting to get all this modes done on my thunderbird as well.
Firstly thank you for making this video, I was one of the people who wanted to know about the setup. I use a similar RD style bar on my GT, though i bought a heavier unit, it still feels a bit light. it 3 years now and i am used to it. The comfort it offers makes it worth it. I was skeptical about the headlight, as most generic Chinese one create more glare than required illumination. Since i had a pair or Philips Ultinon H4 LED lying around, popped them in the stock headlamp and it solved my issue. The spread and intensity is better, reach almost remained the same. Sarath Shenoy recommended Timsun tyres when i asked him. He swore by them actually. Sadly they were out of my budget, probably the next set i will try and get them. Its always a pleasure to see your content. keep up the good work. GOD bless :)
The bike no longer has aux lights. I used them previously when I had the stock headlamp. Now I'm okay with just the led. Like I said, it isn't phenomenal but it's better than stock. And it's been less problematic for me
I feel you did this in a kind of hurry..wasn't as wholesome as your other videos. I was expecting something totally different when I read the title of the video. There is also a glitch in the middle! I am a dedicated follower, was wondering if all is well on your end.
Just a thought about handlebar weight. You already have bar ends which helps. You could try filling the handlebars with lead shot (BBs). If that helps dampen the vibration, you would know that a new set of heavier handlebars would help. If it does not make any difference, changing handlebars may not help. I used to own a KLR-650 single cylinder and it would also vibrate heavily. My hands would go numb after a couple of hours of riding. I finally sold the bike and bought a Vstrom 650 twin.
Ahhhh. Faith😍😍. Was waiting for your long term review as I was in a dilemma whether to spend 900 rupees on the saddle stay. Now I will buy it right away after the lockdown.
Hi, I loved your insight about vehicle and modifications done as to why they were made. Your video helped me on details of ride essentials (as I call it) as I own a thunderbird 500 as well.
vibes are something that can't be eliminated. true. Tire review needed the most. Not many options available for the thunderbird in the market. I have a similar setup on my thunderbird 350 as well. Do Try a fatter version of that motocross handlebar if possible to source, goes a long way on the vibes
This looks absolutely amazing. I am planning to get my thunderbird done and I would be riding almost 150 km daily and long distance every 6 months. Any kind of help and suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance road mates.
Hey Rohith! You can go for the Art Of Motorcycles RD style handlebar. It's a little on the expensive side, but you can't go wrong with Art Of Motorcycles.
Good to see you bro... For the handlebar, may be try the TB500X handlebar setup. RE parts are, usually, very fluid that way. One can interchange these parts easily. The handlebars are usually more complex in terms of the engineering for stability and control standpoint than we tend to realize, any aftermarket fitment is going to mess with that precision mechanics of the entire setup- along with the seating position, seat height, controls, balance etc. Wish you good health. Love and peace...
Not sure if anyone else has noticed, i think this is the first time Rohith said 'Like the video and hit the subscribe button' at the end of the video 😁
@@TollFreeTraveller Yes it is, but its not necessary for you. Without that 'Monologue', it conveys a direct message that you clearly dont make videos just for the numbers, you do it because you like it and people support you anyway🤷🏻 anyhow thats a diff story, you say it or dont we will always be your fan 😁
I always love enjoying the way u narrate the stories u have and most importantly ur simplicity. However, I wish u to be more active so that we would get to see u more.
@@TollFreeTraveller ... yeah once uploaded you can't do much about it. BTW, wanted to connect with you. Had written a mail too to you. I would be taking on a 17K+ ride across the country. Need your support. If you are willing, please do respond to wandering.som@gmail.com. Cheers!
Try making a video of complete planning for leh , ladakh trip like route to take, places to visit, essential things to Carry, best months to visit, and average expenditure for the trip It would be great for the beginners like a lot of us
Does the saddle stay bend when the saddle bags tend to be heavy? Have any other suggestions over right sided saddle stays or saree guard? Why didn't you go with a right sided saree guard?
Hey TFT! Great video! I miss seeing your riding footage but times are such that I doubt either of us will be out on the road anytime soon. As for your handle bars, as crazy as it sounds, you can fill them with sand and it should do wonders. Just plug the ends with cork or a rubber plug. For years and years we used lead shot or sand to fill lightweight bars on choppers and dirt bikes. You might give it a shot and see if that does the trick for you.
Hello, nice log. Clean and simple. One quick question, where did you got the headlight? I'm searching for my avenger. But u need a reliable source. Also avenger needs 5.75" light size.
Thanks for the video. I too have a old Avl engine Thunderbird 350 and i am plan to put on a straight seat like scrambler. Will that be comfortable? I am 5.10''
Hi brother i have a RE THUNDERBIRD 350 CC i ride long trips in my bird ... I was satisfied but i get butt soar kind of pain in low back on riding for a long time So give me some tips for getting over it ??
Hey... an old time subscriber of yours. Seeing you since 2017. You and your faith, amazing pair. Are you ever gonna think about relieving faith? Or that thought ever came to your mind ?
Do own a Thunderbird 350 most of my tours are within 500km range....tired of its maintenance. not mentally ready to do long tours in it....hope u could help with some tips
I too have the RD handlebars on my TB 350 but this one is made by Barrel exhaust with some heavy metal and a thicker tube. Feels a bit solid. And you forgot to mention about those mirrors.
Probably one of the most comfortable Cruse missile ever built in India... Thunderbird 500.. I mean I have clocked more than 35k kilometres...Sometimes more than 250-300 kms at a stretch... I mean... What a Comfortable machine...!

You present it with such passion and emotion. Every seconds you take us to your video it becomes very engaging. Keep it comming
You should get in touch with Art of motorcycles for the handlebar
Intend to do so 🙌
@@TollFreeTraveller could you please tell me what type of LED is that?
Would you recommend this on my xpulse?
Thanks Cheers
@@iamshra1790 it wont fit in xpulse.. it designed for Enfields out there..
AOM very good handle bar
Any link or details of the handlebar at art of motorcycles.

It was so freaking great ! To get a notification from you. Regardless of the content it feels amazing to hear from you. Take care.
Rohith,Was Led headlight sufficient for night riding or did you feel the need to use Aux lights?
The bike no longer has aux lights. I used them previously when I had the stock headlamp. Now I'm okay with just the led. Like I said, it isn't phenomenal but it's better than stock. And it's been less problematic for me
Was a pleasure to just see you riding though cdnt meet you,at kalimpong town few months ago,great review brother🙏
So good to see a video related to bikes from you, after a long time. Please make some videos regarding the riding gloves too if possible.

All okay. Hope you are too
@@TollFreeTraveller yes somewhat! But getting bored due to the lockdown and situation in West Bengal is quite grim. Anyways take care of yourself. 👍
Detailed explanation and as always cinematic :)
hope you make a similar video about your riding gear as well!
Will you review on the gear that you got also?
Ahhhh. Faith😍😍. Was waiting for your long term review as I was in a dilemma whether to spend 900 rupees on the saddle stay. Now I will buy it right away after the lockdown.
It's a simple and neat addition

Hi, does the White LED Headlight gives any better visibility in rains and Dusty Roads as compared to a Stock Bulb ?
I was planning to change the tyres on RE thunderbird 500 after lockdown. Thanks for the input I will definitely go the Timsun.
My experience with them has been very good. I hope yours is too
This looks absolutely amazing. I am planning to get my thunderbird done and I would be riding almost 150 km daily and long distance every 6 months.

Hey Rohith! You can go for the Art Of Motorcycles RD style handlebar. It's a little on the expensive side, but you can't go wrong with Art Of Motorcycles.
Pls make one video on LED headlights installation ...... because of H7 and H4 sockets
Hi...would you suggest those gatters on a classic replacing the stock metal part of it !?
Exactly, AOM thunderbird handlebar does not have vibration.
Good to see you bro...
For the handlebar, may be try the TB500X handlebar setup. RE parts are, usually, very fluid that way. One can interchange these parts easily.

The review I've been waiting for! 😍 great share bro this will definitely help me out!Thank you🙏💕
Does the saddle stay bend when the saddle bags tend to be heavy?
Have any other suggestions over right sided saddle stays or saree guard?
Why didn't you go with a right sided saree guard?
A saree guard is unnecessary weight. This saddle stay is more than enough
Brother you can increase the handle bar weights .. cheap fix.
RE 500 returns ... as always she looks awesome
Any suggestions for the rear mirror... because during long ride it's very difficult to see through it 70 to 80km/h...
how was the new battery u installed on faith ? u didn't mention anything about it.
but thanks for sharing feedback !! ☺️👍
For the handlebar try filling sand inside them.
It works!!
Perfect utilisation of space...looks like space meant for shooting...
Any thoughts on changing the motorcycle? :)
After a long time it's really nice to see you traveller from AP police
