Really nice bike! But I don't get why you chose the alloy wheels for practicality, and then the lower seat for looks, and then wanna add a pillow to the seat...? But yeah, hell of a nice machine!
I would change the handlebars for straighter/lower ones to compliment the lower look, but it looks amazing. Will look even better with some vintage style pannier bags. 👍
Hi Bob, you are right about the panniers, but I want panniers, that I can lock. A lower handlebar would give me a not very comfortable seating position, this is why I changed to the RE touring handlebars.
Looks great, much better than before. I had my dealer to remove the pillion seat even before I got the bike delivered. I have the default riding seat installed though and probably will not change it, because, as you say, it is more comfortable than the low riding seat.
Looks beautiful! Rack, and pannier mounts free it will look awesome. That's how I have my Halcyon grey Classic 350, but now I am really thinking about adding some luggage carrying option. The tires look great too!
Bonjour c'est une réussite très belle machine justement j'envisageais cette modification pour modifier ma position de conduite et vous m'avez convaincue de le faire.....pour les longues distances le siège d'origine après dix heures de selle et bien tassé et dur également.....je pense ne pas y perdre trop en confort car les siège mou avec le temps se tasse.....merci pour ce jolie travail ✌️🇨🇵
Bonjour, je n'ai pas encore testé le siège sur un long voyage. Si vous préférez des sièges légèrement plus fermes, vous n'aurez aucun problème avec le siège. Cordialement
5'6'' Standard seat is fine but even 2 cm lower would improve my foot placement. However I manage on the higher bikes so would prefer the touring seat perhaps. I can do an hour on the standard seat then want a break same as my bikes one soft seat other hard gel pad seat. So I dunno what is best. I wear gear all the time that makes me comfortable especially pants they are a must for proper safety and comfort.
I’m 61 living in Rio de Janeiro…the Street here and some roads its not so good asphaltic paviment and I use a Touring seat in My Classic, I’ve been riding during 10 thousand kilometers… much confortable 😊
It does look nice...very nice! I think I would leave the stock seat on unless I found a brown leather seat that was also self sprung (think Brooks BIcycle saddles!) and had adequate padding and the proper look. At this stage of my life I rarely ride and it is always alone. Thank you! SS
Wow, Marc, I'm speechless!!!.... Can't take my eyes off..... can't....❤👍 The seat is stunning but if you plan a long journey, you'll will probably have to be your local physiotherapist best friend!! Cheers from 19 Celsius Athens 😅
Hi Marc. Thanks for a very informative post Got the same rear rack but in chrome. I have a couple of questions as I'm thinking of fitting a tan low rider seat to my Red and Chrome classic I'm 1.8 metres tall have you found sitting lower made much difference to your feet angle? Where did you find your handlebars and was it necessary to change any cables ? Many thanks Lee
Hi Lee, compared to my touring seat the seating position is much lower and the angle of the knees also changes, but not in a bad way. I found the touring handlebars on Ebay, longer clutch and throttle cables are included in the set. Cheers Marc
Great bike, love the new seat. It's so nice to hear your German accent, it brings back memories of one of my good childhood friends growing up. His father was a German immigrant to Canada, had a farm, and sounded just like you. Sorry if that sounded weird. Anyhow, new sub, looking forward to enjoying your 350 classic videos. Greetings from Canada.
I have both tourer and low rider seat...and my ass pains so much in low rider seat that i cant explain ...and in tourer seat its little high for me as i am 5'-5 but never felt the bike heavy or out of control with tourer and bad roads dosent bother me much in tourer seat at all
Hallo Marc, habe heute meine in den wüsten Farben gekauft :) Als ich dem Verkäufer sagte ich hätte die gerne ohne Sozius Sitz sagte er dann wären ja Löcher im kotflügel vom Sitz, ist das wirklich so oder hat der Mist erzählt? In deinem Video und in anderen konnte ich keine der besagten Löcher sehen 😅 Liebe Grüße und ein Lob für die tollen Videos :)
You've only just put the touring seat on!!! I have the lowrider seat on my identical Classic 350 & i have found no difference in comfort just feel more "in" the bike as opposed to perched on top of it. By the way "Uninstall" not "Deinstall" Pedantic moi?

I fitted the low rider seat to my 350, and it is very comfortable.
Royal enfield bikes are super cool bikes and its thumpy sound is so good.

Hi Bob, you are right about the panniers, but I want panniers, that I can lock. A lower handlebar would give me a not very comfortable seating position, this is why I changed to the RE touring handlebars.
I would lose the unique selling point of the Classic = the extremely comfortable seating position and seat. It looks like the new Shotgun model!
That’s the kind of seating and design I like to DIY on my Rusi Classic 250 Carb. Need to find a very good welder for the frame mod on that part thou 😂
I think single seat is not for long distance ....but your bike is awesome ❤ I like the bike....
Is it possible to tell me what the seat height is now?
Hey can you please tell me the names and sizes of all the tools that you used to remove the backseat, would be really grateful! Thanks!
Looks great, much better than before. I had my dealer to remove the pillion seat even before I got the bike delivered. I have the default riding seat installed though and probably will not change it, because, as you say, it is more comfortable than the low riding seat.
I agree, it looks better without the pillion seat, as long as I ride alone I will keep it like this.

You must try The mighty Continental GT of Royal Enfield
May I ask what those magnificent tires are, please? They’re precisely what I’m looking for.
The tires are the Heidenau K60
You're very kind - thank you! Now I just need to have a think about some touring bars....@@Marc.Stones
Very cool and looks great 👍 maybe you might buy the new shotgun ? Similar style
Looks beautiful! Rack, and pannier mounts free it will look awesome.
That's how I have my Halcyon grey Classic 350, but now I am really thinking about adding some luggage carrying option. The tires look great too!
Thanks for your feedback ✌

Looks absolutely stunning from the side.. 🔥
Sie sieht super aus,schöne Farbe .Echt cool.
Looks great with the single seat ! 🤙
Never actually liked the chrome finish on the classic….but oh boy the side look of the bike, the way you have shot it from 9:46 is just stunning!
Thanks Nik 🤙🏻
Gorgeous looks!
I not only like , I love ❤ it dude

Maybe try the low ride seat, it's a bit stiffer and lower than the standard seat.
Good combo with the alloy wheels and the low ride seat, but comfort wise I prefer the standard or touring seat.

Thanks for your feedback :-)
Hello Marc. Enjoy your videos, I also have Classic 350. My only concern is that you are slowly turning your bike into a Meteor 😂
Hi, thanks for your feedback. I think I have to do a lot more mods to turn my Classic 350 into a Meteor 😂
Looks lovely... with a longer swing arm would look nicer 👍👍
Looking good Marc, screeen next?
Looks terrific, but that skinny seat is not for my skinny little a*s. Pannier rack ugliness can be solved by soft throw-overs. Tires are very cool....
You are right about the panniers, but I want panniers, that I can lock.
The bike looks fantastic!!! Cool 👌
Thanks 👍🏻
Wow, Marc, I'm speechless!!!.... Can't take my eyes off..... can't....❤👍

Hi Dimitris, I think I will mount the touring seat when I am doing my road trip, but for a short ride to the Café it's perfect 😎 I envy your weather 🌧

Sehr schöne Informationen und Umbauten die du uns zeigst ....sehr Hilfreich ...
Danke für das Lob!

Nice bike! Can you list the things you bought and modified? The rims, for example. Thanks a lot.
And do you do the same tutorial in your native lingo?
No, this channel is only in english :-)

kann es sein, dass du von Vespa zu Enfield gewechselt bist??
nein, ich fahre beide
I like your motorbike. Very handsome just the way you have it.!
Lovely bike and video, thank you
Thanks Glyn, good channel by the way 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Marc!@@Marc.Stones
awesome
there's a bobber 350 being launched this year, based on the J series engine...probably inspired by you!
Sounds great 👍🏻
Looks nice,
Hey mark! Great video👍 specially i like the color grade. What camera you used to shoot Broll (9.48 to end)
Hi, thanks 🙏🏻 . I used the Sony ZV E1
@@Marc.Stones👍
Can you please make video comparing the normal handlebar and touring handlebar
Wie immer ein sehr gutes Video ❤lg Mario
Danke dir
Sir, what is your height?

I have both tourer and low rider seat...and my ass pains so much in low rider seat that i cant explain ...and in tourer seat its little high for me as i am 5'-5 but never felt the bike heavy or out of control with tourer and bad roads dosent bother me much in tourer seat at all
Nice 😎
Super. Very nice.
Made in india?
Yes
Hallo Marc, habe heute meine in den wüsten Farben gekauft :)

Hi, den Soziussitz kannst du mit der Halterung abbauen und es sind keine Löcher im Kotflügel 👍🏻 Viele Grüße Marc
@@Marc.Stones wunderbar das freut mich zu hören :) vielen Dank für die Antwort :)
Very nice, but the Hepco Becker rack does not fit to the bike. On tour I would only ride with a big bag
And where do you put the big bag when there is no luggage rack? On the fender?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Whts on the mirror bar
The SP Connect phone holder
Nice bobber❤
Classy ♥️
You've only just put the touring seat on!!! I have the lowrider seat on my identical Classic 350 & i have found no difference in comfort just feel more "in" the bike as opposed to perched on top of it. By the way "Uninstall" not "Deinstall" Pedantic moi?
The terms deinstall and uninstalling are synonyms (words with similar meaning).
The verb Deinstall can be replaced with Uninstalling in some context.
He put the low ride seat on, not the touring seat.
Look at his previous video from 2 months ago. He installed the touring seat.
Hallo Marc,
tolles Motorrad aber ich glaube Du hast den Festhaltegriff auf der linken Seite bergessen mit einzubauen.
Gruß
Hi, ich habe die rechte Seite gefilmt nicht die Linke, der Griff ist dran 👍🏻
I like thats
It’s called a touring seat yet after a few miles sore arse don’t make sense?
Yea not everything works as advertised
bebefore 😮😢!
Taking the seat off does NOT make it a Bobber!
Low ride seat - higher handlebars - different rims and tires 😀
