A sump guard and a tidy up of the rear brake pedal, throw in a couple of trials tyres, and that would do me fine.  :)

I like it, especially the seat shape. I'd like that (but longer) on my B5.

Also, I'm guessing they're using longer shocks? As both wheels are on the ground on the mainstand.

Note that it's still a carburettor model.

  I like it wildbill.    I think that would tide you over for while.

Likewise, though I would add to that wish list a couple of decent mudguards. Also, the trademark Bullet headlamp cowl seems a bit out of place on this bike.

I'd agree on that. If any headlamp at all then different triple tree, single headlamp and dare I say, the twin clock setup from the Thunderbird. In fact just stick that front end on it. He said, like he has all the bits in his garage lol.

I like it too, though I'd prefer better mudguards (function over form) and I'd remove the exhaust wrap - I can't stand the stuff. That apart it's pretty neat; good that it has a carb too - the single best thing I did to my heap.

that kit for the 350 is available here as an option for $3000 but when you think it over - the 350 and 500 is virtually the same bike except for the fueling system
so excluding the tank you could probably source the exhaust from somewhere else and chase the other stuff up and switch it to the 500 instead
now if you did that to a C5 chrome - its almost got the chrome tank to start with...lol could be another idea for a project further down the track
overall I think i'd rather run 500cc fuel injected than 350 via a carby but that's me

Ah, now would it be this place from this video review of the Himalayan I have just come across?

I knew I'd seen the bike at 11:56 minutes in somewhere lol.
