Description
Aluminium Rear Carrier Plate for Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
The LCB Taurus Carrier Plate in Aluminium for Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is engineered for riders who demand load-carrying capability without unnecessary weight gain. Designed and manufactured by Legundary Custom Builds, this aluminium variant strengthens your touring setup while preserving the Himalayan 450’s agility and chassis balance.
Adventure touring is not only about distance — it is about preparation. Carrying luggage safely requires structural stability, correct load placement, and vibration control. A poorly designed carrier plate introduces flex, uneven stress distribution, and unwanted rear-end movement. The Taurus Aluminium Carrier Plate is built to prevent those issues through intelligent material selection and precision engineering.
Lightweight Strength Without Compromise
Constructed from high-grade aluminium, this carrier plate offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminium reduces overall rear weight compared to traditional steel plates, helping maintain handling responsiveness and suspension performance — especially important for off-road riding and dynamic terrain transitions.
Weight reduction at the rear improves:
Unlike decorative aluminium accessories, the Taurus Plate is load-bearing and structurally reinforced for real touring use.
Engineered for Load Distribution
The Himalayan 450’s frame geometry is designed for adventure balance. Load placement that extends too far back alters the center of gravity and affects steering feedback.
The Taurus Aluminium Plate is designed to keep luggage positioned closer to the chassis centerline. This ensures:
-
Stable highway cruising
-
Predictable lean behavior
-
Reduced rear suspension stress
-
Controlled off-road maneuvering
Balanced load placement is not aesthetic — it is mechanical logic.
Precision-Cut Mounting Architecture
The plate features precision-cut slots and mounting points compatible with most universal top box systems and soft luggage mounts.
Supported setups include:
-
Hard top box base plates
-
Tail bags
-
Touring duffels
-
Modular luggage systems
-
Strap-mounted cargo
This allows flexible touring configurations without limiting your luggage choices.
Corrosion Resistance and Surface Finish
Aluminium naturally resists corrosion better than untreated steel. Combined with a refined surface finish, this carrier plate is built to endure:
The aluminium finish also complements the Himalayan 450’s rugged, industrial design language while delivering a more modern aesthetic compared to conventional steel plates.
Direct Bolt-On Installation
Installation remains clean and reversible:
The Taurus Aluminium Plate aligns directly with factory mounting points, ensuring a flush, vibration-free fit.
Once installed, it preserves:
-
Subframe integrity
-
OEM service access
-
Chassis alignment
-
Resale value
Built for Touring Discipline
This is not a cosmetic rear add-on. It is a functional touring component.
Ideal for:
-
Long-distance touring
-
Off-road adventure routes
-
Daily commuting with luggage
-
Expedition builds
-
Lightweight overland setups
When carrying tools, spare parts, camping equipment, or travel essentials, load stability directly impacts rider confidence.
Why Aluminium Makes Sense
Steel offers brute strength. Aluminium offers structural efficiency. For riders who prioritize reduced weight without sacrificing reliability, aluminium becomes a strategic upgrade.
Benefits include:
-
Reduced overall rear mass
-
Improved ride responsiveness
-
Lower vibration inertia
-
Easier handling under load
This version of the Taurus Carrier Plate is designed for riders who think in mechanical terms, not just visual upgrades.
