    Very good dual use of the battery charge lead.

    6:39 err on the subject of the led headlight bulb why can't you use the modern ones which have a 1:1 size and the led chips are positioned exactly how and where the filaments on H4 lamps are, so the light spread should be pretty much the same but brighter
  • I’ve found the digital compass on mine works pretty well. I’m just coming up to 8k miles on my ‘71 plate himmi. Btw I have same mirrors….by ‘second look’ I think you mean ‘double take’.

    13:16 not a fan of these very thin cooking foil boxes, look like they will bend and dent at the slightest impact and no lining even Cfmoto on the MT 800 have similar boxes but the whole inside is lined with a kind of velour

    11:11 personally I'd take a cheaper price and forego the unnecessary tat bits

    Does the front brake light switch have to have that rubber boot on it? Seems to me that rubber goes stiff in lower temperatures.

    What is your opinion on the Himalayan 452? I'm thinking about getting it as my first bike, greetings from Brasil!
