Loving your videos my friend. Thank you so much for showing us what you are doing. You had mentioned maybe showing the handle bar install and I would love to see how you did that if you get the chance. Thank you again and keep up the good work.
Hi Dorman, I like your black Renthals, they look quite right to my eye. I've got a Baker so they will blend in perfectly. Which model are they please ? Rgds James.
Yes you can just do either front or back or both. I can't quite remember but you may not need a replacement relay until you have done both ends because the resistance in one, but not sure now.
@@DormanDiaries I got TEC light kit & was thinking about doing the back while waiting to do front.How did you fabricate the spacers for TEC headlight bracket?
Good lord I want that back Tail Light bracket! Although I may have to manufacture something as I am not planning to mount the license below the tail light.
Fairly simple only a piece of aluminium. If you don’t want to mount the plate below then depending on your tail light you may just be able to use the bracket under the standard whats it. 👍
Hey mate great upgrade....i was kinda following your path..... But.. I have a question for you... What abt the stopper pin for switch gear on the handle bar... You drill a hole or it was already there..... Lemme know thanks 🙏
Neale Bradford yea I need to do some don’t I. Not got a mount set up on my lid at present though. Had some lovely rides lately. 75% of my commute is through lovely countryside so would make some good vids.
One small tip with these bikes,they have a lot of slack in the throttle cables.When you try & blip the throttle changing down all you do is take up the slack in the cables.Iv'e adjusted 99.9 % of the slack out of my cables & it's made a big difference.I like the tank stickers, where did you get them? I'm not sure if I like the originals or not. My bike is black like yours & I think it's the best colour for this type of bike.
Yes mate used a bit of soft crayon to mark the pin and transfer mark to bar. Then use a small bit to staRt the hole and I prefer to switch to a stepped drill for a clean controlled hole.
Hi there. Currently I have the throttle cables running on the outside of the forks. I will replace with custom cables at some point but not causing any issues besides not looking the best.
@@DormanDiaries I seen a vid the other day where they removed the top yoke then the tank and cut a couple of cable ties, then lifted the brake hose over the stem and released the throttle cable some slack, but the vid had no sound.
Really like the subtle mods. I'd like a tail tidy for my 650 too but don't really want to make custom brackets etc. Are you changing the front indicators too?
Hi Tom, Thank you, appreciated. Yes I have changed them along with headlight brackets. Just put a vid up looking at the brackets and will do a fitting and indicator one.
Hi Sanoob, I've put a link in the description along with the dimensions. Its slightly higher than stock with less sweep but it is quite a bit longer at 825mm. See my later videos and the one for risers I still found I needed risers.
Robert J Hello, just from eBay, seller called peel_n_stick they seem good quality, they won’t be mega durable unless you clear coat over them like factory decals but I’m going to see how they fare
NO CHAIN GARD! How about a lighter brighter vertion like on tec bikes No3 vidio. Or trail bike small loop over type. Positive you could home fabricate. 😎
Impressed with those rear indicators

I'll see what I can do! Thanks for the appreciation!
I am always impressed with your capacity to fabricate, your thoroughness and attention to detail.
Thank you sir
The bike looks great!
Thanks for your videos, helped me loads fitting new indicators, very much appreciated.
Thanks Andy, glad they helped.
Mate you are doing very great work ..found very helpful for my own interceptor ..carry on 😊
Bike is looking good. Renthal bars look great.
Hi Dorman, I like your black Renthals, they look quite right to my eye. I've got a Baker so they will blend in perfectly. Which model are they please ? Rgds James.
model no. 768. The are 6.0 Trials
@@DormanDiaries Thanks for that.
Can you just do the back led taillight & indicators & leave the front stock(halogen)?Is that what you did buy the look of it.
Yes you can just do either front or back or both. I can't quite remember but you may not need a replacement relay until you have done both ends because the resistance in one, but not sure now.
@@DormanDiaries I got TEC light kit & was thinking about doing the back while waiting to do front.How did you fabricate the spacers for TEC headlight bracket?
With the black paint work and the forward slant of the engine I first thought that I was looking at a ‘70s Norton Commando!
Where did you get that bracket from? Can it be bought from anywhere?? Please share a link if any
Made it sorry!
@@DormanDiaries how do u make it?
How did you fix the mudguard to the frame when you removed the original rear light assembly ?
I've been meaning to ask the same thing
Love the bars...!!! 👌

Congratulations! I liked your transformations! Please, change the ugly front indicators!🙏🏻🙏🏽
Thank you, Check out my playlist for latest videos, many changes since then!
@@DormanDiaries Thank you! I'll watch it!
I've saw it! The front indicators now are in another level!
Hey mate great upgrade....i was kinda following your path..... But.. I have a question for you... What abt the stopper pin for switch gear on the handle bar... You drill a hole or it was already there..... Lemme know thanks 🙏
Hi Pal, I drilled a hole, used some of the missus lippy on end of pin to help put a tell tale mark on the bars
Nice one, love the set up, that's my style of bike
a colonel7557 thanks man 👍
any chance of seeing the bike being ridden, commented ride etc.
Neale Bradford yea I need to do some don’t I. Not got a mount set up on my lid at present though. Had some lovely rides lately. 75% of my commute is through lovely countryside so would make some good vids.
Also I’ve been pondering over what I want to say in terms of review, I also wanted plenty of mileage under my belt to give a proper worthwhile opinion

STEVE PALMER hello, got them on eBay from a seller called peel_n_stick
the bike looks really good but just curious to know if the indicator will be visible to someone overtaking from the otherside?
Jimmy Page 😂
Looks great 👍
Nice mod mate! Couldn´t those turning light indicators be vitted in the original headlight brackets in the front?
What model are those?
Aye they could I’m sure, do see why not. Mine are from TEC bike parts.
To control the LED indicators flashing rate did you change the relay?
Certainly did, think that was covered in the video prior to this one. Long time ago now! Cheers
Great video! Did you drill the bar for the switches securing pin? Thanks
Yes mate used a bit of soft crayon to mark the pin and transfer mark to bar. Then use a small bit to staRt the hole and I prefer to switch to a stepped drill for a clean controlled hole.
Looks much better!
Where did you get the grips and black silencers
Hello, grips from ebay, and silencers from classic bike shop, where in the world are you located and I'll see if I can find some for you.
@@DormanDiaries In Oman
Bike is looking great...and excellent video as ever!. Can you tell me which Renthal trial bar you have used please....? Cheers, Steve
Sorry Stephen I’d missed this one
Dorman Diaries would also like to know this, please. Love your videos. Very helpful and sometimes entertaining 😃
Hi there, what adjustments to your cables did you need to make for those Renthals ??
Hi there. Currently I have the throttle cables running on the outside of the forks. I will replace with custom cables at some point but not causing any issues besides not looking the best.
@@DormanDiaries I seen a vid the other day where they removed the top yoke then the tank and cut a couple of cable ties, then lifted the brake hose over the stem and released the throttle cable some slack, but the vid had no sound.
Did you apply the logos yourself onto the tank or take it to be re-painted?
Just applied myself, not going to the expense of painting yet as still experimenting with ideas. When I'm happy I may get it done as a final job.
@@DormanDiaries Not bad, what did you use? It looks pretty good, almost factory painted.
UnholySeoul oh they aren’t painted on just transfers. Pretty easy to do if you take care
Very nice
Thank you
Nice bars - are these now closer or higher than stock bars to the rider?
GN - hello, they are a touch higher but no closer. I’m considering rear set risers to bring them a bit closer.
Really like the subtle mods. I'd like a tail tidy for my 650 too but don't really want to make custom brackets etc. Are you changing the front indicators too?
Hi Tom, Thank you, appreciated. Yes I have changed them along with headlight brackets. Just put a vid up looking at the brackets and will do a fitting and indicator one.
Link for renthal handbar.
... And model / part number please
Link to connectors/item number doesn't work
paulaus sorry I don’t know what’s wrong. If you search for motorcycle connectors on eBay you’ll see lots of sets like I’ve used.
La staffa dove l'hai presa
Ciao! Made the brackets myself.
I’m considering putting bigger tyres on my Continental . Continental tyres make a retro rim 110/80 front and a 150/65 rear. Mmmmmm.....
Bro where i can find the renthal bar and is it short or higher compared to stock
Hi Sanoob, I've put a link in the description along with the dimensions. Its slightly higher than stock with less sweep but it is quite a bit longer at 825mm. See my later videos and the one for risers I still found I needed risers.
Do add a crash gaurd for ur and bike's safety.
Love the details of your bike, where did you find the tank logos, they really set it off.
Robert J Hello, just from eBay, seller called peel_n_stick they seem good quality, they won’t be mega durable unless you clear coat over them like factory decals but I’m going to see how they fare
looks like you might need black fenders from the "icequeen" model soon ^^
Hi fabiano - yes black fenders are one of my next changes, thinking of painting these ones or they’ll only fill a box on the shelf.
@@DormanDiaries true , not sure if RE has a special colorcode for the black , any regular black should do it .
@@fabianoH5N1 - Yea I'll just use the same gloss black I use on everything! I have tins of gloss, satin and matte.
Good vid! I used paraffin (or kerosene) too, works well and cheap!
where did you get the brake light assembly from. can you please provide the link.
santha kumar - link in description brother
NO CHAIN GARD!
How about a lighter brighter vertion like on tec bikes No3 vidio. Or trail bike small loop over type. Positive you could home fabricate. 😎
Who needs a chain guard.... OK I might look at fabricating, missus needs one too
If you have rear pegs the law requires you to have a chain guard ..
Domain you need to be more confident in your work . I'm very sure people want to watch how.
If we didn't we won't watch.
Gud
No riding comfort . Not good for long trip. I sold my interceptor.
That's interesting I don't think there have been many 2nd hand ones hit the market. What did you find to be uncomfortable?
man indicators are tragic
Bane Vukojevic is that bad or good? 😝
