The mods are truly amazing and will love to do on mine as well. But first I need to get the machine and a dream which is yet to be fulfilled. By the way, observed that the disc brakes at front also been changed. Isn’t it ?
Would love to see an interview with joshua about the 17" alloy wheel conversion. That and the suspension are motorcycle changing mods, elevating a great budget bike into a great bike.
I always believed that at least the ContiGT should've come with 17" wheels from the factory given its racer ideology, love to see how it played out in these mods🔥❤️
The video needs "Before-After" comparisons of: 1) weight of OEM spoke wheels/tires vs. alloy wheels/tires 2) weight of OEM exhaust vs. Trident exhaust 3) sound of OEM exhaust vs. Trident exhaust 4) *full profile* view of sitting position with OEM handlebar/pegs vs. set-back pegs and Renthall bars.

Vikrant ji u sound like john Abraham.. listening you is a treat to ears... Salute to camera man.. what a work excellent... liked the shaky effect too..
Absolutely well presented with clear diction and pronunciation. Very mature mods for a mature motorcycle. I would definitely go for these mods when I get this machine.
Love the name Deadpool. Absolutely agree with all the changes made. Would love to see a Powertronic ECU and mods moving the foot controls as well as the pillion footpeg forward
What an excellent video! This bike is so beautiful and the modifications you made are absolutely make sense. What do you think about the big-bore kit (865 cc)? Many greetings from Germany!
Love that bike build, very similar to what I wanted after riding mine but cost wise dissuaded me forcing a very early sale... The argument for "it's better to buy performance than build it" (unless of course you have very deep pockets) is what I'll be gravitating to from now on. But, many have fallen and will fall in love with it's classic roots and you can't blame them .
Hi sir..sir can u please tell me the exact size or name of the handlebar dat u put on ur interceptor..i know its of "renthal" but i want exact specifications so i can put it on to mine..as i hv to order it online..so there r chances dat i order a wrong one..by d way its really an amazing video with complete information..sir
Good detail. The videography is good. I saw someone has commented about the lens being soiled. In fact, I liked it because somehow those spots on the lens further adds to the rustic appeal and retains the old school theme this bike is. I think you missed (or decided not to) mentioning about the brake rotors. All mods look good except I don't get the point of resizing the tyres. Or unless maybe I am missing something. With the stock being 100/90-R18 at the front.. the new size give you a front overall rolling differential (O.R.D.) of -51mm and with the rear stock being 130/70-R18 the rear O.R.D. sits at -27mm. This means, there is a massive speedo under-read and is way beyond acceptable O.R.D. tolerance differential of +/-9mm. Regardless you are not concerned about odometer calculations in the long run. I understand the reasons for pulling in the new size: 1. Tyre options, 2. Comfort, 3. Maneuverability etc, And with that being installed along with upgraded rotors, it is meant to offer better braking performance - that’s pretty obvious.
Thanks Diganta. Change is tyre size was to go down to 17 from 18 to improve the agility or turn-in response of the motorcycle - apart from the fact that 17 give more tyre options. As for speedo reading, the smaller over rolling circumference makes the speedo over read now, not under read. And no, I am concerned about a few extra kilometres in the odo as a result.
Just perfect.. I always thought of these issues and took step back from buying one. The foot peg issue was the biggest one. Spoke wheels the second. One more I would like to add on to these mods, is the Stinger 2 in 1 exhaust made in the UK. Never liked the stock exhaust look.
Nice choice of mods…great presentation. 😊Can u share few details on the contoured front disc rotor please… performance..availability and pricing. It definitely adds value I believe.
Hello Mr. Vikrant, Initially I thought it is a mere cosmetic mods but oh boy modifying suspension and wheels from spoke to alloys and tube tyre to tubeless was really brilliant and must have taken lot of thinking, work and pain. I have seen videos where aftermarket alloys have broken causing accident so in that regard what precaution you have taken? Modifying foot pegs was also equally important as this has been sore point reporter by many owners and test reviewers. Last but not least very interesting work, may be if RE can take clues, be professional and implement in the production?
Thanks Vikram. As for the alloys... one has to be careful. One can’t go braking hard into a ditch repeatedly and ask that the alloys stay intact. Having said that, it would take extreme circumstances for the alloy to crack. So if one is mindful about the type of wheels one is running, it should be okay.
The only problem being sourcing out all the parts and finding the guy who can actually do the perfect job. I wish RE showrooms could give all the possible customization options as per the likings of the masses.
Saw ur bike at the service center and loved the wheels. So posted a pic on the group to see who was the owner and reached here ... Nice work.. What was the cost involved to get the wheels setup
i have been reading the comment section to see answer to only one question " does the abs work with the tire mod?" Its just that i dont want to lose such safety feature on a bike capably of 130 + speeds. pls reply
It's nicer upgrade than the new 2021 interceptor as we all were expecting at least alloy wheels and tripper navigation from the new model. By the way can I use the front fender extension in my upcoming CB350 RS? Any jugad?
Your Modification was great but I would bet on Pirelli or Michelin tyres.. also the headlight part needed some modifications too !!! With Hjg or similar kinds of fog lights!
Ive done the ton 2 up with 170kg between me and the pilion i didnt have any suspension issues. I did with my 07 Triumph Bonneville though and it was one of the first mods i did on that bike from almost brand new. I modded the Trumpy with IKON front and rear suspension. Its quality Australian made and a lot cheaper the YYS or ohlins. You should keep things in prespective as its not going to do over 200kph is it?. It won't be racing Ninjas, Gixxers or Ducati's will it?. I know they are detunned big time and full head work can increase numbers across the power range but thats another day for most. On the RF 650 i did the cans,a boostet plug, Motor scratch guard, the same wind shield, The fork gaters, The low engine bars, Ide like to get a better rear brake master cylinder as the stock one looks like its full when its empty as the diaphram gets sucked down in it. I think also the foot shift leavers ide like cast or billet alloy styled ones. Some things i won't bother with till they mal function, Wear or break. This bike does well over the 140kph which is loss of licence so i don't nees to do that now i know what its got. It picks up good and has great highway passing power to get around trucks quickly. Thats all i want. It pulls up well and has the slipper clutch so no mods required there. IKON is about $800 AUD front and back just do the work yourself. Thats a out half the price of YYS, I believe this was emotional spending on your part as its way overkill for this bikes capabilities as is Ikon but at least its half the doe.
Hi Vikrant, have seen this video multiple times :), love the mods you've done on your bike, they're classy, tasteful and functional, just the way I like. Regarding the wheels and tires, has this resulted in a loss of ground clearance and what kind of speedo errors are you getting with this mod? I've recently picked up a Baker Express Inty 650. Wheels and tires are something that I am actively thinking of upgrading/modding. Cheers.
Vikrant bhai Sunday ko badhiya sa video aaraha hai na, pichli baar Sunday koi video nehi tha 😤 , avi jo petrol price dekh k electric scooty k liye soch rahe aap ek activa jaisa dumdar scooty konsa kharidna rahega batayega, avi ev related koi policy nehi ara aur ather 450x toh bahut jyada maang rahe 😑, kya karega insaan
Modification are good when they work. But often times they don't last as much as the stock set up. And more over its difficult to get the required spares and service from authorized dealer once you modify this heavily.
i m a new subscriber and i cud understand the quantum of passion u hv towards this machine. stay blessed. cud u pls let me know where to get the YSS front suspension? i m based in chennai

Nothing was covered for the front disc brake rotor. Please update the review. Thanx.
Hi
When I see vikrant ...then must be detailed video!
Thanks for the appreciation, Nilesh 😊
Thanks Nilesh!
This guy sounds so perfect when explaining stuff❤️
Thank you. :-)
definitely. so much better than all the melodrama/overacting youtubers.
@@vikrantsingh6916 Hey i heard that you could fit the meteor 350 rear alloy on the interceptor without much hassle or any kind of mod. Is it true??
@@afnan_02 It could be. I havent tried, so I am not sure.
@@vikrantsingh6916 Yes I think it works. Anyways thumbs up for the reply vikrant bhai !!
Btw is that triumph street twin alloys on your bike?
Relaxed(not over excited),detailed and clear explanation .....gem of bikewale...
Thank you!
This is what makes the interceptor complete... Alloys are an absolute necessity nd this alloy nd rubber looks so cool.. The bike is looking very good

Plz sir make a separate video of how we can install 17" wheels in interceptor & from whom we can contact for this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That's exactly what we need the most! 😢
Those alloys wheels are from Mahindra Mojo ones. You can buy from Mahindra Mojo showroom. They super strong and lighter then Dominar one.
@@qaz123orama1 are the mojo ones plug and play or does it need any machining.
You can replace rear Wheel with Meteor's 17" alloy
I did it with my Interceptor
@@meraj1701 wat about front weels
Brilliant work. Just what the doctor ordered 👍. I thought you only drive great . You ride just as well.😊
Thank you, Rakesh 😊
Thanks Rakesh. :-)
5:53 prrrom prrrom ..... I LOVE IT😂
Can you please elaborate more on the 17 inch conversion, this is something I would do right away with the right knowledge
Vikrant ji u sound like john Abraham.. listening you is a treat to ears...
Salute to camera man.. what a work excellent... liked the shaky effect too..
From which bike 17 inch alloys are sourced? And with this mod does Speedo needs to be recalibrated?
Nicely done and yes more of this, future RE driver from Belgium.
I loved the fact how Vik insisted on making the bike light as far as he can.
Nice mods. Love the raspy exhaust note. One question though - what's the impact on ABS after the 17" when mod?
❤ thank you for the great content! ❤ From Borneo
Thank you for the appreciation 👍🏼
Definitely want to watch more mod videos, it helps to gain knowledge regarding the same.
Would love to watch more modification stories. 👍
Surely Suhail.
Absolutely well presented with clear diction and pronunciation. Very mature mods for a mature motorcycle. I would definitely go for these mods when I get this machine.
Nice informative content, nice cinematography loved It the way video was shot and explained 💥

Thank you Milin!

What an excellent video! This bike is so beautiful and the modifications you made are absolutely make sense.
What do you think about the big-bore kit (865 cc)?
Many greetings from Germany!
Nailed it with the decibel measurements. Always great reviews sir 👍
Nothing is better than the BS4 Stock exhaust sound😉
Very well presented
Thanks Sachin!

Came back to this video after 3 years!
Would love to know how these mods have aged and what changes you further made to the bike.
As Always detailed review !! Yes Suspension upgrade is must stock is to soft and discomfort when you pushing it further.
Thanks Indrajit.
I see upgraded brakes too up front, more on that please? Loved the build! Cheers
Thanks Arjun. That’s the Mojo disc. It came with the wheels. Otherwise, the brake lines, the callipers etc are all stock INT.
@@vikrantsingh6916 So those alloys are from Mojo

I love this kinda stuff.....
Thank you Vikrant
Like what you've done, it's now more like my street twin, but still with that RE classic vibe, well done 👍.
Nice modifications..should you also consider black out engine?
Thanks Manil. I did. But never got around to getting it done.
Phuraa phuraaa.. i also love it😂❤
Great set of modifications and well explained. Perhaps you can add the price details of each of those modifications in the description
Price is mentioned in the video. Scroll to the very end of the video.
I'm saving my money to buy this bike. Have to wait for another five months to buy but I will wait.
It will be worth the wait. There are others in the BikeWale team who are planning the same!
@@vikrantsingh6916 only concern is sir the price will get hiked for every budget that's hurt a lot

Mahindra Mojo.

Hi Ren, the alloy wheels conversion cost is mentioned in the video. Please give it a watch and share.
i have been reading the comment section to see answer to only one question " does the abs work with the tire mod?" Its just that i dont want to lose such safety feature on a bike capably of 130 + speeds. pls reply
Can we tour on INT rather than himalayan?
Brilliant modifications especially the foot pegs & the alloys which probably would have reduced the seat height ?
Yes the seat height is more accessible now.
Excellent modification on the bike. Thanks for explaining those.
It's a great modification done but I was just wondering if we can make the back seat person ride more comfortable by doing something to the silence
The alloys and exhaust are the best modification 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What is brand name of that helmets. Love it😍😍. Reply please 😊😊
It’s a Royal Enfield Tropper helmet. Customised under the MIY program.

Very nice mods. Are those alloys available with RE?
Magnificent work
Where did you get the Renthal Handlebars ?? Also handlebar model details please..
I loved the way you did frap frap,
A great modification to do to any bike to liven it up is to fit a quick action throttle.
Modification are good when they work. But often times they don't last as much as the stock set up. And more over its difficult to get the required spares and service from authorized dealer once you modify this heavily.
Yeah bro...
You are right.
Awesome mods. I want this exact bike! 😍

Great
Thanks.
did the build impact the mileage on the bike ?
It looks just perfect
If I ever get to buy this, I'll definitely do some of these.
Great video 👍
Great Mods 👍🏻
Are the RE powered touring seat worth it? Or better look something outside. Please suggest.
A cost run-down of everything would have been nice. But a great video.
Vikrant sir on the thumbnail... Take my money
From where did you get these alloys from looks great on INT
Have you made a specific video for the 17" alloy wheels transformation?
I read the article a few days ago! Was a good read! The video too is good! I'd have gone with a tec 2in1 exhaust with Db killer.
Thanks.
Do you mind to mention the link from where you sourced the parts at least for the easy to mount replacement parts?
The review is amazing. But cam work. I think I have a headache!! The zoom shots are great but step back shots. Why is it shaking so constantly??
We tried something different for effect. Guess it’s not gone down well. Back to basics from next time then.
