Must have Royal Enfield Bullet Accessories: June 2016

Header

In this blog I will be reviewing the accessories that elevate your Bullet riding experience. Click here to read my reviews on Performance Modifications for Royal Enfield Bullet. For the uninitiated my distinction method between a modification and an accessory is very simple. If you are replacing an original item of your Bull then it will be a modification, whereas if you are adding an object it becomes an accessory. So I consider an LED headlight as a mod, whereas the fog lights would be an accessory. By that same distinction the Deltran LiFePo4 batteries and the Boyer Bransen Powerbox are modifications as they can replace your existing battery. Crash guards though an integral part of motorcycle, since does not replace an existing part becomes an accessory.

In this blog I’ll not be reviewing riding gears like helmets, armor or gloves. This blog is strictly for the bullet. So if you find an innovative accessory that improves the Bullet riding experience do mention it in the comments section. Happy thumping.

Dragonfly sidebox from Bluegarage for Royal Enfield Bullet review

I always envied large tourers that had those huge capacity sideboxes that could pack away a family and the rider can roam the countryside in peace. Unfortunately our Enfields do not come with such storage space and till date only himalyan seems to have been given with any type of storage accessories.

I am not a fan of saddlebags, as most develop holes when you least expect. Even the best quality cramster bags, if they get anywhere near the exhaust, will burn open huge holes on the underside. Furthermore saddlebags tends to spoil the balance of the motorcycle on bad roads and most of them have buckle system that afford very little in security.
My only option was to go for hard sideboxes. However even after much research I could not find one that suited my requirements. Some were very angular and looked incongruous on the bullet. Others were too small. Then there was also the question of colors which would not match with my forest green color. And then I chanced upon the dragonfly boxes from Bluegarage. At first glance it looked like my dream had come true.
