So I decided to try this mod to my bike with the XL Shorty Kit which is the same size as the stock seat. It requires cutting closer to the end of the frame because the male ends (of the shorty kit) that fits into the female slots (of the frame) are too large. In order to get the seat to line up with the end of the tail, you have to cut further in where the pipe increases in diameter. Only problem is, the piece that's suppose to slot in is too short width wise and the slot isn't big enough. Now I'm stuck trying to figure out what to do next. Probably going to go to a metal fab shop and have them recreate the piece with the appropriate length. Also, maybe I missed it, but I thought the shorty kit piece was metal, it's not, it's some kind of carbon fiber or hard plastic. You may want to avoid buying this.
Hey guys, in the instruction, there is no mention of the wiring and the wiring doesn’t come pre-wired. Any chance you show us how that’s done? Maybe even just a photo of it wired so we can see which colours go where? This is a critical part of the installation and nowhere to be seen in the video.
Because the cost is not that high and everything is included. It was a no brainer for me. I place the order a few days ago. I might not use it, but in case I go this route, I have everything figured out as a kit. I do not even have to turn on the welder, or figure out a plate for relocating stuff... yeah, for what this cost shipped to the US, I would not bother trying to modify the stock item myself.
@@wpanik the MK is made out of fiberglass/resin. I have it. It is not made out of steel. Only the brackets that holds it to the bike and the bracket for the tag are made out of steel. Do not steer folks wrong please. It is a nice kit.
@@Wachuko-1 Well so it is…installed it yesterday and literally couldn't tell that it wasn't steel. Pretty impressive. Calling it "plastic" definitely isn't fair though. My frustrations came with the fact that the rear light isn't plug-n-play as it appears on the video and that there wasn't even a diagram explaining the wiring. So I had to figure all of that out before I could even splice on the old plug.
@@wpanik yes. It is nicely made. Heavy feel that would I definitely not describe as plastic. That is why I made the clarification that is some sort of fiberglass resin with gel coat. It feels solid. Boat-building-like solid. Kit brings everything. But yes, you have to make the electrical install with the plug provided. I got the wiring diagram from the web... from a similar light sold on eBay that had the diagram. Then is was just a matter of matching to the factory harness. Not difficult, but time consuming. I have it all ready to go, but have not gotten the courage to cut the frame, lol. My plan is to make it so that I can switch back and forth between the short tail and the stock tail (for those times I want to use the bike on longer trips with luggage rack and saddlebags).
@@Wachuko-1 That's a great idea! Totally doable too since you don't have to weld the new piece in place. Yeah I definitely think the kit is worth the price, just would've like a *little* more direction.
Okay! first thing first! this channel and products are so underrated! Dayyammmmmmm, that's so clean and well fitted rear end! I'm getting interceptor now!
You all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
Dang....this is a great product. The rear end of these bikes has always bothered me. REALLY bothered me. Whomever came up with this product gets kudos from me and I hope he makes a lot of money. PS: I just found out this is not steel. A bit of a bummer but OK as long as it's make of a heavyweight product of some sort and looks good close up.
The question here is not about structural integrity (We're Indians, let's just be Indians, we are into aesthetics). The real thing is, COPS ARE GONNA SCREW WITH YOU SO BAD AFTER THIS MOD. no chassis modification is allowed guys. you gotta take additional advanced permissions from ARAI to do 'stuff' to your vehicle. It's not like UK here. Be careful
Really? Cops actually look for "chassis modifications"? Would most police actually know what they are looking at? Glad we don't have anything like this here is the U.S.
Hi, does this kit come with the lights? I checked the website but it isn’t explicitly stated, from what I could see. If not, could you link the light kit please?
I ordered the kit... not sure when I will install it (if I ever do). I just wanted to have the option to do so and have the kit ready if I decided to make this mod. But I question that I have is on those saddlebag/panniers supports. Where are those from? Who makes those?
Hey mate, great job. I've recently purchased your tail tidy kit. Can you please provide a link to the brakelight system you recommend using with it. Im based in NZ. Cheers
LED Strip Light is included with the kit , which has brake light and indicator system both. additionally for break light, can check this too- mkdesignsindia.com/product/led-tail-light-round/. and for turn signals - mkdesignsindia.com/product/turn-signals/
One of the seats is RE Single seat and cowl , other is a custom seat . Tapered Kit is available too . Click on the product link , choose Model and then type of shorty Tail kit you want . We have 3 options available - Small , XL or tapered .
@@humanfirst11 don't do it , you'll ruin your bike , it is an irreversible process Go for slightly long aftermarket cafe racer seat ( a bit of compromise will save your chasis )
Shorten it by bolt on.. Hmm ;) Look at ducati monster tail. Everybody shorten it. Me too. No problem at all. And the frame from the gt 650 is way longer and looks very ugly. For me, the bike is only possible with a shorter frame. And when you cut it there, its not a problem technically.
Hello,great job on the tail tidy, just wanted to know if this mod will fit the older 535 gt. If it does then , how can I buy it from you, please let me know, thanks 👍
We have shorty Tail Kit XL , which is same length as stock seat . can use Brat seat XL along with it and then a pillion can sit . Shorty Tail Kit small is 100 mm shorter than stock seat and is for Rider only .
Ok so maybe I’m naive or just need help to understand. How does this effect the integrity of the frame? I could see cutting the cross bar but it’s just the extension piece of the frame. If you’ve ridden this bike (which I own and do) the rider is positioned so far forward from this area and never comes in contact. Again I just want someone to help me understand this. I may order it but have not yet.

Mentioned on the website, its Composite Fiber . Its high strength.
Needs to be cut at 35 mm from the frame starting .
I bought it a few weeks ago and will install it today. Video coming soon!
How much it costs bro
Have you installed it?
@@sukilvarshan1831 check their website mate! it's well briefed there!
Video is live here: ruclips.net/video/6fMk1X1Lw7g/видео.html
No handgloves, buffing with part 4" cutting wheel.. typical indian style😎..
Nah... not specific to India, that is globally acceptable home shop diy approach, he he he 😎.
It looks like a simple yet elegant improvement but it doesn't follow the seat guidelines of ARAI, so do watch out for cops!!
How did u install the contential clip-on handle to the interseptor ... It looks frekin awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Surely weld the new hoop???
Ayo this vid is so underrated. Where to get those from?❤️😭

Fucked up the entire look of the bike
Can we use other tail lamps insted of the stip ones?

We have its installation video too.
The seat doesn't sit properly on the frame. There is visible uneven gap in-between. Otherwise, great upgrade!
Can two people fit on this ?
Professional work
Hey mk designs a quick question can i bolt back the oem rear mud flap with this kit?! Just the metal part of rear mud flap
No , stock fender wont fit . but we have shorty tail kit fenders for the kit .
Lovely stuff👍🏽
Which tyre is it at the rear?
Can you ship to UK?
Loved it!
Do we get the LED strip with the package?
Also, can we cut the frame at any distance or just right till where it is shown in the video?
Light is included
Hey can i pop in my dual seat occasionally on this frame , can it take on the pillions weight.
Use Shorty Tail Kit XL for Dual seat .
Can this be installed without chopping the chassis
Obviously not. Thats why its called short tail, it becomes short after cutting
@@thecasualrider2668 I think he meant the light setup
Now it does not vibrate😁😁
Bro...clipon handlebar tank ko touch nahi hora kya??
No
How/where do I get the full kit do do what you have done in this video ?
Thanks

No not on the Small version but you can use the stock dual seat with the XL Shorty kit.
I want that for my bike!
Is this still enough space for a passenger?

Finishing and design is not very symmetrical.. looks good but
Why i cant modified my hunter 350 like this
That is serious Im gonna do my GT as soon as the kit arrives !!!!
I’m buying this next ❤
Which tyres are these.??
it has got same grip tires on both end.
I want cowl seat full picture
But wouldn't the structurally integrity of the chassis get affected?
It would. This suits a show bike or one you'd use for shorter rides. Long time owners wouldn't cut frames obviously.
It wouldn't, because he's cutting the sub-chassis, not the chassis
He cut the back of the subframe not the frame that is connected to the motor! No structural rigidity is affected!
@@tikiortaka no it wouldn’t. It’s the subframe. Has no structural significance whatsoever.
Would like to order
Hi, what tires and sizes are mounded on that green 650 ? Looks great!
That's Pirelli Scorpion trail II 150/70 R18 Rear, 100/90 R18 Front. Costs around 14000 INR or 200USD
