Hey everyone,

I recently got the Himalayan 450 in Kamet White and I’m planning to add a few essential accessories mainly for touring + some light off-road.

My budget is around ₹10K and I’m focusing on:

• Bash plate
• Radiator guard
• Touring windshield

I’ve been looking at brands like Moto Torque, Zana, Legendary customs ,JB Racing, and OEM Royal Enfield parts.

A few specific doubts:

• For bash plate: is aluminium better than mild steel for real-world use? Also for Kamet White, does silver look better than black?
• For radiator guard: is OEM worth it over aftermarket like Moto Torque/Zana? Any airflow or heating issues? Also stock radiator guard heat hits the leg will it be reduced
• For windshield: what height works best to avoid helmet buffeting? (I’m around 6’1”)

Usage:

• Mostly city + weekend highway rides
• Occasional bad roads, not hardcore off-road

Would love to hear real user experiences (especially long-term). Any brands to avoid?

Thanks in advance!
