I was pretty happy with the setup when I bought the saddlebag stay for Himalayan from Donowyn. We were headed out for a 10-day trip in South India. I had promised to write a full review once I was back, covering the performance, pros and cons. Now is the time for that. But wait! If you have not read part 1 in this series, where I cover the purchase, installation, size comparisons, etc., head over to the Royal Enfield Himalayan Saddle Bag Stay story and read that first.
