    Gidday mate. Late arrival to your channel but better late than never. Have just begun to do the same with my Interceptor, agree wheel size a pain. However chosen same tyres and have ordered a front mud guard raising kit from Hitchcock’s. I already have an alloy sump guard and a SS oil cooler guard. Can’t wait to get it out on the gravel. Cheers, Bill (NZ)

    Looks good, very in keeping with your look. Had to get out the dictionary tho. "Fender" a word used wrongly in the USA for mudguard. 😎

    Termignoni high level single sided exhaust to add to the off road look would look fantastic on your bike imo. What you have done is certainly where I'd go if I had room in my garage for a 3rd bike. 👍

    If removing the upper guard anyway, you can reuse the 1.5 cm spacers and fasteners from the top to raise the lower fender.

      Duarte Ramalho, thank you, much appreciated! Yea I painted it myself. Didn’t do a video as whilst I’m fairly competent at it, putting a video up will just attract all the idiots telling me what I’m doing wrong... same as showing welding hence why I never show any welding I do!
