Part 2 of Royal Enfield Himalayan - Seattle, WA to Alaska was a huge pleasure to create. I put in some long, late hours on this and I hope you enjoy it. Consider liking, sharing or subscribing and all that fun KZfaq stuff.
The highlight of the episode is the customization of the Himalayan exhaust with Cerakote Ceramic to not only improve the look of the exhaust but to increase the life and longevity of the entire exhaust system and muffler. A huge thanks to Phil at Precision Cerakote (precisioncerakote.com) for helping to make my new Royal Enfield Himalayan a one-of-a-kind, personalized machine.
SERIES OVERVIEW
Follow along as I purchase a Royal Enfield Himalayan in Seattle, Washington and ride it for the first time EVER all the way back to Alaska. I even do some customizing to the bike along the way!
This is the second part of a series of videos covering my purchase of the 2018 Royal Enfield Himalayan Himalayan, customizing the bike and exhaust with Cerakote Ceramic after only 300 miles, doing my first service, then continuing on through Banf National Park, Jasper National Park, the Canada Yukon and Alaska where I stopped at a magnificent glacier before arriving home.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan is a 411cc adventure bike built in Indian and made available in the U.S. for the first time in 2018. Very few motorcyclists in the U.S. have had the experience of riding one let alone taking it for a near 3000-mile ride right from the showroom floor.
IN THIS MOTORCYCLE SERIES
○ At only 411cc's, how does it handle on American highways?
○ What's involved with the first service at 300 miles?
○ Can it hold up on a long-distance adventure?
○ Is it comfortable, capable, and does it handle well?
○ How does the bike look after a ceramic coating of the exhaust, skid plate and levers?
○ And what sort of scenery, wildlife and adventures do I experience on my 2,800-mile ride back to Alaska?
I hope you enjoy this series. Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for the following parts and future Himalayan adventures in Alaska.

Am from India, i must say you did a great paint job, Royal Enfield India should take your idea of painting the exhaust line into their current production line. The bike looks more attractive than before....👌👌👌

I have been fascinated by this bike since it was announced. The reviews I have seen ( probably the same ones you have viewed ) have all been nice. Your videos are very relaxing and will edited. I am 62, disabled, and broke now but I was an avid rider for two decades. I have done tons of touring on big bikes and truthfully, I would never have considered taking a long trip on a small bore thumper. You have courage young man! Like yourself, I am short. The bike just looks like it would be a good fit. I hope all is well and I look forward to seeing your next video. Until then, keep it upright! Remember ( to paraphrase Lori Petti in Point Break ) "Ridng is the source". Stay frosty.

Thanks from Italy. I will buy my Himalayan in spring and in summer I will go to Greece without a precise destination. The ceramic coating and the chromatic choice are very interesting.

Well that ceramic coating really made a positive difference. The bike should have looked like this already from the manufacturer I think. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

I have a RoyalEnfield ThunderbirdX, and guess what, you'll never know how it feels untill you own a one.

Loving this story as it unfolds! Im sold on this bike, and may even ask Phil to do the Cerakote work for me. That was quite a drastic upgrade, and one well worth it!

Excellent upgrade. Glad you had the vision, and contact, to make the end product what Royal Enfield should have foreseen. Ride on-and safely, too.

Awesome job. Living close to the coast, my RE exhaust is beginning to rust as well. May need to consider ceramic as you have. Thanks for sharing😀😀😀😀

Also with Royal enfield they are releasing two twin cylinder bikes. it'd be awesome seeing you got the himalayan turn around and buy the twin cylinder bike so as to do a motor swap to be the first guy with a twin cylinder himalayan mod. With the top of the cylinder coating it's a transparent ceramic. And extends the life of your engine by by preventing heat transfer in the first place. So your cylinder never gets burnt up

First of all Congratulations for the new bike. I own a Himalayan from last 2 years. It's the best adventure bike in it's price range and also cheaper to maintain too. I would suggest before hitting the off road, u must cover the master cylinder of the rear disk break as it is totally exposed.

I was never a huge fan of the looks of these bikes but what you did there makes it look more premium and improves the looks of the bike greatly, well done

Watched part 1 & 2, truely awesome, great bike and beautifully crafted video. Never realized how beautiful that part of the world is. The exhaust upgrade has transformed the bike. The journey you took to get the bike home shows great strength and depth of character on your part. Thanks
