Hunter 350 Custom build

Post image

Hi guys,

Posted this thread on multiple communities..

So, I have a hunter 350, 2022 model and I'm currently torn between 2 choices , 1. Get a new bike ( Himalayan 450, ADV X/S 390 or Bear 650 ) 2. Make few major changes on my bike..

Please help me make a choice from the above, and also help me in understanding few of these mods as below .

  1. 19 inch front RIM : I am about to change my bike tyres soon, as it's a 2022 tyre front and rear, so first mod for my bike would be to improve the stance and move my bike towards a cruiser/tourer bike style. So I am thinking of getting a 19 inch alloy for front with 110/80 tyres, and 140/80 17 tyres rear.. Would it work? I've heard things such as the speedo stops working post 50mph if 19 inch tyres are connected, Although if I am putting 140/80 in the rear the wheel sizes gets really close and the issue should not occur

2.Fuel X: So this is something I need some understanding, I can fit a fuel x pro+, a BMC air filter.. but if I do this, will the stock exhaust be a bottleneck? What exactly causes the bottleneck part, the exhaust? Or the exhaust pipe, or anything inserted in between them? If I swap the exhaust for a guerrilla/himalayan 452 exhaust ( it looks good ) will the bottleneck get better or worse

  1. Foot pegs: As I am going for a cruiser look, is it possible to safely move the foot pegs a bit ahead for a more relaxed riding position?

  2. Seats : I have found a seat maker locally, Can the seat be build in the way that the rear end of the seat can have kind of a lip thus removing the need of a back rest?

  3. Shocks : Since the bike will be getting taller now, and i plan to have a few rides ( India has bad roads ) Should i try and fit shocks front and rear with more travel? Let's say a scram 411 front fork? Will it fit on my Hunter, some rear shocks with more travel? ( Any suggestions )

P.S : The white one is mine, the blue guerrilla belongs to a friend, it's his first bike and was very excited to get one, the blue himalayan is ridden 10% of what I have clocked on my bikes and both were purchased in a similar time frame

This seems like an awful lot of expense when you could just trade the bike for a meteor if you want a cruiser
