I am looking to change the handle bar to a more comfortable one. Can anyone recommend a comfortable straight bar suited for Thunderbird ? The 2 basic objectives are

1) Better comfort
2) Better control of the bike. (I dont feel very confident with current setup)

I am in the same boat sir. I tried the classic handlebar on my tbts350 and was suffering from neck pain and classic handlebar was very heavy. Looking for other options as well. My primary requirements are ease of drive, should be light and the handlebar must gel with the look of the bike. With custom handlebar I have observed vibrations post 60kmph whereas stock handlebar is solid up to 75kmph post this speed it too vibrates.

That's some mod! Beautiful!
In fact, I too am planning to use twin headlights. It would be very helpful if you can share:

> Pictures which show how you have fixed those headlights
> Where did you purchase those headlights and their cost
> What is their diameter length

I am planning a slightly different design though. I want to use LED headlights with DRL. I want to avoid clamps on sides. Will go for something like Avenger's fixture. Also I won't use the wind screen. So it would be pretty visible fixtures. It needs to be elegant to look at.

I will post pictures once I am done. In the meantime, please share the information requested.

Unfortunately, I've modified the bike further so don't have pictures of just the lights. Will check my laptop and search archive.

Bought the lights (twin headlight)locally in Chandigarh at a bike repair & mod shop. Cost me 4k including installation. There were two options available. Matt black & chrome. I chose black since my Thunderbird is the Matt black color.

The lights were fairly easy to fix. They are a little smaller in depth compared to Thunderbird light. Removed the main headlight and used supplied bolts to fasten the new lights. After a few days started missing projector so installed the angel eye projector. It has strobe function too. It is affixed to the headlights lower support clamp.

I've since then removed the earlier setup and added a different light to my Thunderbird. Attaching photos below of my bike and the new light. It cost 3500.

Hi all,
Will it cause any harm to wiring/battery if I install twin headlights setup instead of a single one? This is for my RE Thunderbird TS. It currently has stock bulb and 7 inch housing. Is it possible to split the single bulb holder into two bulb holder? Thinking about replacing with smaller twin headlight setup like Mahindra Mojo.

Why so much of complex modifications? You can put good quality branded aux lights instead. In fact such modifications might not be possible at all.

TeamBHP user Hammer and Anvil has installed this plate on Classic 350.

Wish to install the handle bar end lights. Couple of queries,

1. As seen on YouTube, will a hole be drilled on the handle bar for the wiring?
2. Will this mod defy the warranty?
3. I presume the weights would be removed to install these lights, will it increase the vibrations?

I recently met with an accident on my TB which resulted into slight damage to my headlight setup.
I was looking to get the headlight assembly changed to a LED setup since the OEM headlights don't inspire much confidence on highways.

When i checked with my mechanic who is a very knowledgeable guy on the Enfield mods he told me that the LED assembly cant be fitted directly onto the new Thunderbird and instead he will have to fit the LED headlight on the headlight cone from an older thunderbird and then fir the assembly to my bike, on various threads and online portals and descriptions of the LED headlights i am seeing contrary remarks. Most of the sellers say that LED headlight can be fitted directly to the new Thunderbird and no need to fit it first onto old thunderbird headlight cone.

Can someone please throw some light(pun intended) on the subject? And send me the links of any threads or products which can be direct substitute to the OEM headlight setup in the new thunderbird.

TIA BHPians.

Hello, could you please help me on the finer details on the headlight change?
Were you able to fit this LED headlight onto the headlight cone of your bike? Or was it first fitted to an headlight cone for older thunderbird model and then fitted to your bike?
