We have ridden only the Himalayan 450 — what fitted Hunter is evidence, and what might fit your bike is a guess.

Kriega R30 backpack

7/10

Really good, but it can be a bit uncomfortable on the shoulders how the straps bunch up a bit, and there is no way to lengthen or shorten the shoulder straps — it feels like there should be — but generally really good.

The adventure seat — past the four-hour mark

Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 adventure seat

7/10

I did not compare with the original, but I find it a little uncomfortable on long rides, and I feel like it is on a slight angle down so I am always sliding down the seat. Generally it is good though.

Oxford Premium Retro heated grips

7.5/10

Genuinely useful in cold areas. Have had some issues getting them to start but mostly they are ok.

Lights

Baja Designs Squadron Sport

7/10

I wish they had a dimmer mode — too bright to be safe in fog with oncoming traffic, but at night they are awesome. Would be good if they had a mid-level light.
