    I still have issues with my cervical ( shoulder pain ) while riding. While changing back from RD 350 to Stock handle had aligned a handle a bit lower towards myself. Did a 900kms single day ride over the weekend Delhi-Ajmer-Delhi. Had a really bad stiff pain and had to take a break every 50 kms or so. Aligned the handle to a more upright position but the concentration of the pain has now moved to the cervical bone.

    What I am not able to figure out is the cause of the pain. Is it the handle position, seating posture, or the vibes. Forgot to mention also have got the cushy handle grips added to reduce the vibes. Have tried different seating postures, straight backed, a bit relaxed laid back, a bit crouching towards the handle. But nothing has seemed to work.

    Has anyone fitted the classic handle bar on TB . Any pics of the same.

    Am contemplating to sell the TB since cannot carry on in this manner.

          The spanner sign is service reminder. No need to worry. You can turn it off by pressing both select and set button and turning the key position from off to on or vice versa.
          It's not about how hard you get hit... It's about how hard you get hit and just keep moving forward.

          Your story may not have such a happy beginning... But that doesn't make you who you are... It is the rest of your story... Who you chose to be.

                Bro first get a consultation it looks bad, may arise from the neck muscles, but get consultation n let know.. Could be bike or just something else too. The bike as such is bad for tail bone n neck due to its position. Try to Google deelip meniges blog n read his critical article he has changed to some other handle n had written bout sitting position. Will post link if I get.

                  The windshield was bought from Karol Bagh, cost me around 500 to 600 inr ( Khajanchi gali ). No performance issues till 80, have not tried after that

                          Here,
                          After reading about my Marsimik La Adventure, someone wanted to know what modifications I had done to my Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 to ready it for long rides in the Himalayas. This post is mean…

                                has anyone yet tried out aftermarket LEDs for the headlamp [both the lower and upper]? I am looking for LEDs which can be fitted within the stock headlight cluster/cabinet. I am not looking for separate mounting LED floodlights.

                                I was thinking about moving to some of the better LED manufacturers, ex Cree..

                                If anyone has better alternatives, please help me out!!
