Interceptor 650 handlebar upgrade by Royal enfield

- Handlebar upgrade for my Royal enfield interceptor 650. The video is a DIY for someone looking to upgrade to the Aluminum handlebar sold by Royal Enfield.
These cost Rs. 2500 and are an excellent replacement to the stock chrome handlebar. Lightweight and better finished than stock these surely help to enhance the look of the motorcycle and since these are reinforced aluminum in my opinion should also be more rigid and definitely lightweight that the stock ones.
Hope you all like the video, Cheers!!!
This is an excellent video! I just made video on the handlebars myself, but man those motone risers look super good! I'm going to get myself one of those sometime soon! Thank you for the video! Cheers!
what I do to remove grips are remove the cluch lever assembly and the switch. remove the bar end weights put a big spanner on the handle so that handle is between the spanner then hammer the spanner. grip will just rocket out of the handle without any lubricants.
Great video, many thanks for your time. I am fitting Triumph Bonneville T140 US bars to my interceptor.
which handle bar is it,, if you can share bike name or any part name ,,so it will be easy to oder
Hi brother, could you tell me if rerouting is required for the handlebar risers?
Really helpful video and really informative..
👍🇬🇧
Thanks a lot!
Excellent video and simple explanation 👍
Thanks for dropping by bro!
Nice tutorial loved it, Is that moton handle bar risers??
Yes they are from motone. Thanks for stopping by.
Great video with useful tips. I am going to install Himalayan handlebar on my conti GT650 which is a bit more complicated as need to replace some cables and yoke too. The suggestion of the higher riser sizing and the provision of source info from bandidospitstop is incredibly helpful to me (if i had not seen your video i would have installed the standard risers which would not be as good).
Hey..Recently I have installed Himalayan Handel bar on my GT 650 with the stock risers and now I'm feeling pain on my palms. Do you think installing the aftermarket risers will help?
Hi. I still watiing on my parts to come from India (i ordered a lot more than the items to do this). If u feeling pain in palms its probably because you are taking your body weight on your palms by leaning forward on them. I still have standard clip ons at the moment and it took me 300km to figure out the seating postion to avoid taking weight on palms. This includes knees in tight to tank, sit up close to tank, clench stomach and back muscles to hold your body upright whilst loose holding the bars. It sounds a bit weird but now i find my stock standard conti GT quite comfortable even for 150km plus rides rides. But I guess these things differ for each rider depending on height & weight. the aftermarket risers rise the height of the bar and pull it back towards you too a bit too. So i think it will help to keep your body more upright and weight off your palms. the only way to know is to try and then tinker with riding position to ensure not leaning on palms.
Can barkbusters be installed on these handlebars as they can't accommodate OEM knuckle guards due to brace on the top of these adventure handlebars
Hi mite can you share the link from where you bought the handle bar. How was the usability after installation of the new handle bar
Great install video! Do these bars have hollow ends or do they have the same fixed captive nuts as the stock bars?
The ends are hollow. Apparently the Himalayan bar ends fit this handlebar.
Thanks for the informative video please just to confirm is that those bar risers are for Triumph Bonneville models which have 22 mm (also known as 7/8 inch) handlebars. Please confirm if it fits to interceptor?
Hey, are those the TEC levers? If yes how did you get them and for how much?
I got them when i was in the US. road power customs do a lever that’s similar. you may want to try those.
May i know the handle bar risers used
Hello...! Can u leav a link to buy this handle bar
Can we install barkbusters on Himalayan handlebar?
I don’t see any reason why they won’t be compatible. So i’m guessing yes.
@@motodiariesbyrck2032 and in terms of reach do you feel any difference? I will be installing an riser anyway.
Also share your Instagram profile.
Link for handle bar risers
They are from motone customs. In India you can get those from www.motousher.com
Which handle bar riser u used will u please give me its details ?
Bruhh can we fix with this handlebar without risers.. does it affects wiring and riding posture..
Yes. These can be installed without the risers. Should not have a problem with the wiring.
Hi thanks for the details have a question. I see that you are using handle bar raisers. i guess they are from legendry . Question is how many inches did the handle bar come close to you and where did you buy it. Please provide me the detatil.
These are from motone customs. It raises the handlebar by an inch and also bring it closer to by by an inch. I got it from the US but you get these in India as well. Some companies make good replica for fraction of the cost.
Hello sir, can you please tell me which are the aftermarket break and clutch levers on your bike ? And is this the Himalayan handle bar?
These are by tec bike parts. Yes the handlebars are Himalayan.
Hi nice video ... The handle bar risers link which u gave are for 14500 on that website🤪,Which are very expensive any other similar alternate you can suggest. Thanks
Yes 14.5 is so pricey for what its worth...:)
Try these as an alternate bandidospitstop.com/products/royal-enfield-interceptor-650-handle-bar-riser-black
I haven't used them personally so cant vouch for the fit and finish.
E joyed your video , I won't be changing my bars as I have the Glitter& Dust Interceptor and the chrome bars suit it , I fitted the Motone risers which were the 1inch up and 1inch back , yours seem to be higher n you didn't mention size in video , with mine I had to release the brake cable from where it was cable tied to the frame !
Glitter and dust would certainly look better with the chrome. Mine’s the same size. Don’t think Motone does other sizes. I too had to loosen up some cables to allow free movement of the handlebar. I’m glad you liked the video. Cheers and safe riding!
Hi, which handle bar is this ? Could you provide link to purchase ?
These are from the royal enfield website. Look under Himalayan accessories.
I find the handlebars on my interceptor a little hard to reach as I am a guy w an avg height. Would you suggest this handlebar for a better more upright posture?
No. in that case it won’t make a difference. You may be better off in installing the handlebar risers. Cheers!
I have already installed a handlebar riser and pulled it back towards me(2 inches). However, the stock handlebar of the Interceptor is not wide and l still don’t find it comfortable. I get pain on my wrists and forearm after long rides. Are these handlebars wider than the stock handlebar of Interceptor? If you have any other solution for improvement let me know
Hi Raghav, there may be the RD handlebar that may be wider than the stock handlebars. You may want to try those out. Pain in the wrist and arms is generally due to the rider putting the body weight onto the arms while riding as opposed to letting the torso handle the body weight. Maybe that's what is causing your wrist pain.
try Meteor 350 handle bar costs about 650 and with the raisers in place i am sure you will feel comfortable...
Great info! Thanks for uploading.
Is it better than the stock handlebar? Is there any difference in seating posture when compared to the stock handlebar?
The ergonomics is very similar as compared to stock.
How do I get this handle bar
These are from the royal enfield website. Look under Himalayan accessories.
Informative and easy to learn video!
Nice...Can u share the link for the handlebar risers..Tnx
In India its priced quite high. Its a great a product but i would not pay that much, here is the website shop.motousher.com/collections/motone/risers
Can you pls share the link for handlebar?
They are listed under accessories for the Himalayan on the Royal enfield website.
nice
Hey, great video. Any link regarding the handlebar risers? And also, any cabling length issue later on? Thanks.
No issues with the cable length. The motone ones are listed on motousher site but are pricey for what its worth.

I havent used them personally so cant vouch for the fit and finish.
@@motodiariesbyrck2032 Many thanks for this! Made my day!
Hi, nice video. Can I ask, are these the handlebars for the Himalayan? I can't find ones specific for the Interceptor. Could you send a link please?
Hello Johnny, Yes those are for Himalayan. They fit well. RE hasn’t made ones specifically for the 650 twins yet. Trust this helps. Regards
@@motodiariesbyrck2032 Perfect, thank you so much!
Bro stock is best or this Himalayan handle bar
@@durgeshmadasu7936 I prefer the Himalayan bar. I haven't noticed any big difference while riding, but I think it looks way better.
😎😎
Where to order these?
these are royal enfield Himalayan accessories. You should get those with RE.
Bar end ??
The bar end fixtures by RE wont be a direct fit on this, but if you go to any local shop they will fix a generic bar end weight that can hold the RE branded finisher. These handle bars are for himalayan and its bar end weights would fit without any extra addition.
@@motodiariesbyrck2032 ya I have this spare from my himalayan including the bar end weights which come for this handlebar ...I though so you have installed some other ..👍👍👍
@@motodiariesbyrck2032 subscribed super content ... practical
@@siddharthsinghvirdi7881 Appreciate it. Thanks a ton
Nice video and to the point.i can see that you have TEC levers installed.could you advise me on where to get them in india? Also please PM me your email id.. thanks
Yes these are from Tec. I got those when i was in the US last year. Speak with Lalit Sharma of road power customs. He has something similar. i’m at rkhairajani@hotmail.com
What is the bar in the middle of the handlebar? What’s it’s purpose, can you remove it?
yes that can be removed. it seems it provides some additional rigidity but as far as i’m concerned It’s mostly aesthetic 😃
