Cheers Steve, sorry about your budget mate. Hopefully, this video will save you from making all the mistakes I made along the way (there have been a few).
This is not only my favorite exhaust for the Interceptor 650, but makes it my favorite sounding bike out there. just amazing. love all the mods you did, looks fantastic, yet classy. well done!
The mods you have done look brilliant. I love the sound of the exhaust system. It's intoxicating to listen to. I'm just about to buy the same motorcycle but with the chrome tank. The engineers at Royal Enfield created quite the perfect template to create a work of art with this motorcycle. Thank you so much for posting the shopping list in the drop-down. Cheers 🥂
Every penny worthy. Not some stupid mods like some made out there. These are pretty decent and very much subtle mods here, in simple that’s one LOVELY BIKE…. Love from INDIA 😍
For me, the best looking and sounding interceptor out there. All the mods you've done have a place while keeping the classic look. Still waiting for my Baker Express, but have a bunch of parts from Hitchcock's and Motone ready and waiting, thanks to this channel. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Julian. Keeping the classic look is important on this bike, glad you noticed that. Good luck with yours. Sounds like you’ve already got some quality parts on the way! Enjoy.
@@WildlifeMoto ordered some exhaust slip ons from Baak but I find them really hard to deal with, they haven't returned my emails for 3 and a half weeks and still haven't sent them even though they were advertised as "in stock", trying to get my money back now, what a headache. Wish I had just gone with Hitchcock's for the exhaust, they've always been reliable.
So nice, my man. I was looking at how to repair a scuffed kill switch on my GT and you've opened up a whole new world of ambitions for me. looks so good!
Heya mate, rarely comment but wanted to say I've been watching your videos for about half a year now (am subscribed) and as someone who has a Continental on order to pick up in a couple of months your channel has been a godsend. Really appreciate the work you've put in and the breakdowns - thank you. Keep the rubber side down.
I reaaally enjoy watching your videos! Just started to make my motorcycle driver's license, and with your high quality videos featuring the Interceptor 650 it is even harder to wait for the day when I can start to drive. Cheers from Germany, buddy! :)
Got the Dart screen after watching this, very good. Needed an updated one as my bike is 2023, Piranha version. It does vibrate a fair bit and does distract me a bit as the chrome bars are reflected in the screen Got some LSL Flat Track Matt Black bars ones so that might help Have tried inserting rubber into certain places to hopefully reduce the vibration, but not ridden yet Other option is to add another bracket near the top Keep up the good work The more I ride my bike and customise it to my desires & ergos the more I love it.
Fantastic video. I went ahead and purchased the same handlebar because yours looks so good. I went to install it yesterday and realized the stock bars have a drilled hole on top of the bar where the clutch lever pops in to. The LSL bar does not have a hole, meaning I can’t reassemble. My questions: How did you get around this? Are my LSL bars missing the predrilled hole? Any help is greatly appreciated. I was so close to finishing the bar swap when I hit this snag. Keep up the great content!
Another great WM vid...thanks for taking the effort to make these for us. Personally I'd suggest considering a future mod to be a remap to get the most performance potential out of the intake and exhaust mods you've already made. Maybe a PowerTronic ECU and map switch? As another viewer has already mentioned.......I too would suggest a tubeless conversion (Outex). I'd also fit a set of Avon Roadriders over the psuedo-Pirellis. Lastly....if you're feeling really flush and wonga was no object........a Revelry Cycles 865cc big bore kit/CNC big valve head/performance cam.
Some great suggestions here. I think a Powertronic with Quickshifter is high-up on the list. OE rubber will be gone very soon too. I had never considered a tubeless conversion, but maybe I should. I'll check it out. Thanks.
@@WildlifeMoto Very interesting to hear you are thinking of a quickshifter. I'm all for improving performance, but I not convinced a bike of this type warrants one IMHO, as it's in no way a race rep or a track day wannabe. If you were looking to improve lap times by fractions of a second, fair enough.....but adding (an aftermarket) one to a road bike is not worth the potential for unreliability I feel, as it's well documented that they can be quite hard on gearboxes. Pro's v Con's, so to speak. However it would be very interesting to hear of your findings if you did decide to go ahead and fit one.
A couple viewers mentioned converting to *tubeless* - which gives quicker steering, less unsprung mass (more control over bumps), less spinning mass (faster acceleration and braking), gentler blowouts, and easier patching. For running tubeless, though, Woody's Wheel Works, maker of the Outex conversion kit, recommends that the rims have *safety beads* . Presumably, they keep the tire bead in place against the inside of the rim if an under-inflated tire hits a large bump hard. But Woody's says that it's hard to predict which model of bike has OEM rims with safety beads, and they haven't checked the Interceptor 650 to be sure.
@@WildlifeMoto I read that some people had to drill the proper measurements. Hopefully they will take care about this issue. I would like to know how standing on these pegs feels. They look very small. Anyway, I am sure the video will be very nice to see and valuable ✌🏼
Great selection of mods...bikes looking and sounding great 👍. One thing I've done on my old XTZ660 and my current bike is change the spokes for heavy duty polished stainless steel, really sets the wheels off. Look forward to seeing more ! Cheers, Steve
Hello from California. Amazing mods! Bike looks absolutely stunning. You've definitely inspired me to change some things on my Continental! Please keep the videos coming. I dont think anyone else has 650 content nearly as good as yours. Also, for the majority of the mods, did you need any specialized tools? I would love to do the work myself, but I have a pretty boring tool chest. Stay safe out there!
Hi Drew, thanks for the feedback, appreciate it! You won't need special tools to carry out these mods, just a decent set of spanners, sockets and drivers. Check out my video on the SBV tool roll, you can do alot with this kit. ruclips.net/video/xwb0B_Kcq28/видео.html
Great modifications and it still keeps its beauty, wouldn’t like to think how much you have (well)spent and what’s more fun is there loads more you can do, Looking forward to the better weather, lowered COVID restrictions and getting some miles on mine,👍😀
@@WildlifeMoto it’s worth every Penny, well “Pound “😀 to have exactly what you want, just think you can easily spend 12k on a motorcycle and still not be happy, changing everything and loosing a fortune, keep the videos coming, will you be changing the tyres ! Personally I don’t find the original ones that bad compared to the 1970s Bridgestone s , take care,
@@tonymartin3780 No point in earning money if you can't have a little fun with it! Yes, I will be changing the tyres, I don't have a big problem with them, but I suspect they can be improved.
Since you are using the Continental GT seat, you might want to look at REs dual seat cowl which comes in black. It will complement well with your bike.
Great summary fella. I keep intending to do a vid covering all mine but then i think i just want to change this first, then something else etc. Im sure you know the feeling. Addictive isn’t it!
I think all the mods are really tastefully done. Just put the Hitchcocks headers on my bike they look and sound awesome. I agree about the Tech sump guard doesn’t quite work for me. I have a motone one on my street twin, loverly quality part.
Looking so good mate. How have you found the touring seat? Is it much better than the stock seat? Is that 3D mesh really a thing? 😋 Going in for a test ride this weekend with a view to putting a deposit down if it's a comfy enough ride.
The touring seat is a fair bit firmer than the stock. At first you might find it too hard, but after a few miles the support actually makes it a bit more comfortable.
Wow ! I love this bike 😎 ♥️ just curious how much invested with all the mods and everything ? I think I like this even better than the Triumph Street Twin... dam that exhaust sounds wicked !
Being a long term biker (started at 17, now 50, and yeah like many, wanted to ride sporty bikes, but as time went on, hahaha, became more of a classic styled rider), I love the look of the Kawasaki W650/800, Kawasaki Z900RS, CB1100, and then the Enfield 650's came out, I was hooked! I'd have one now if I could! So this is a great vid to see what can be done with these beauties. Might I also suggest? LED headlamp complete, or at least, LED bulb, to get a better white brighter light? (maybe with a 'Halo' ring?) Thoughts? Ride safe, ride free fella 😎
Looking good , like what you’ve done so far 👍🏻. The. Baak tail light I was looking at that last night, did the holes line up on the stock fender or did you have to drill new one’s ?
I really like the mods you have chosen both in terms of quality, and what they add to the bike. Given the quite significant investment against the purchase price of the bike,have you ever thought I wish I had taken all the money I had spent and bought something else?. I am only asking because as a person who spends a lot of money customising each of my bikes I have at times questioned if it was worth it when I calculated the final cost!.
Hi, Where did you get the rear light from? Be nice to have a list at the end of your presentations showing the manufacture / source of each of the modifications. Thanks
Wow , must be one of the best Interceptors out there, although surely the amount of money spent must be in the territory of being able to have a better bike to begin with!
This is a project. The enjoyment of building it far outweighs just buying a premium bike. I’m lucky enough to own some great bikes, but I wanted this one to be a blank canvas.
Hi! Great mods! I wanted to ask you if you have looked into hand guards? If yes, which ones would fit this bike? I'm thinking of making my bike a more scramblery one, so handguards would be a great addition.
I’ve been tempted by some of the flashier (bling-ier?) sump guards. There are some excellent (and expensive) options If you’re going for more of a scrambler look. What I like about the Tec version is the functionality and the way it disappears into of the bike. If you’re not looking for it you won’t see it.
Stock it ok, but I don't like chrome on this bike. They are also ridiculously heavy. The scorpion red power pipes with baffles in are not all the loud. Not sure what pipes you got, but I agree, loud pipes are just annoying on long rides.
They didn’t fit my bike. Apparently they are fine on most bikes, but there are some very small inconsistencies in the assembly manufacturing. This might be subtle changes in the casting or the thickness of the paint. Upshot is, they are too tight a fit, meaning they don’t spring back properly. I could file the inside of the assembly but I don’t want to do that.
I too went for the side panels from BAAK as well as the intake covers that match the side panels and sump guard.. I was looking to BAAK's version of the street tracker for inspiration. Next is their silencers and maybe seat. I've been debating painting the petrol tank. Haha, I think I'm going down a BAAK rabbit hole.
I am interested to know if the bike feels stable all the way to top speed, which I guess is about 100mph/166kmh. I'd like to see it do 120mph/200kmh, but I wonder if the bike is built to sustain those kind of speeds.
The bakk side covers, will I pay customs to Uk address? Did they take long to arrive. I asked them if they are in stock or have to be made, I got no answer.
I would fit gaiters, too. They look nerdy, but they preserve the fork seals from abrasive grit and scratches on the fork tubes, and... they look very retro.
What is the best way to convert this machine to tube less? Some people prefer to change from spoke wheels to alloys.Some people prefer to use outex tubeless kits. What about upgrade in tyres ? People can't able to find correct tyres for this machine.
I just recently saw a conversion kit out of India. This kit converts the existing stock wheels to allow tubeless operation. The method uses a material that looks something like caulking material. It seals the inside of the spoke nipples. It also uses the bands of rubber to go around the inner circumference of the wheel. Due to the curing process of the sealant, this takes about a day to complete. The RUclipsr that posted this kit stated he was quite pleased with the results. Also that his wheels continue to hold air. I'm sorry I don't have the name of the kit
I've done an Outex tubeless conversion on a different model of bike (RnineT), and would do the same to the Interceptor without hesitation. I'd personally go with a set of Avon Roadriders.
1 yr later i am still watching this video so many times. Still the most practical, classy and beautifully done modifications.
Thank you. Glad you are enjoying the video.
@wildlifemoto
Where did you get the front indicators brackets, after something similar for my continental GT 650.
Thanks mate.
Great mods, I can only dream having just a few, enjoy it, great job. Getting my interceptor this month, thank you.

How much is the spend? So far👏🏻😢
Get that hitchcock 865 big bore kit and take this baby up to 70 hp. Not sure if you're running the stock tires, but they need to be upgraded too.
It is cheaper to powder coat existing aluminum parts you want converted to a black finish. My splash guard is now bright red. Why not?
Regarding tyres, suggest some mods, like tubeless tyres and better tyres than pirelli and ceat
first thing i would replaced are the slick puncher to happen tyres to avon trailriders or perilli mt60 transforms bikes from phantoms
I'm seriously considering one. I think fork gaiters would be my first mod.
Good place to start. Nice!
I would fit gaiters, too. They look nerdy, but they preserve the fork seals from abrasive grit and scratches on the fork tubes, and... they look very retro.
Can you try Dimsport RapidBike Evo ecu? It has auto adaptive feature and fueling should be perfect.
Which model rizoma brake fluid cylinder did you use?
Where can I find a bracket that hold your front turn signals
What was total cost in all upgrade parts?
What is the best way to convert this machine to tube less?
Some people prefer to change from spoke wheels to alloys.Some people prefer to use outex tubeless kits.
What about upgrade in tyres ?
People can't able to find correct tyres for this machine.
I just recently saw a conversion kit out of India. This kit converts the existing stock wheels to allow tubeless operation. The method uses a material that looks something like caulking material. It seals the inside of the spoke nipples. It also uses the bands of rubber to go around the inner circumference of the wheel. Due to the curing process of the sealant, this takes about a day to complete. The RUclipsr that posted this kit stated he was quite pleased with the results. Also that his wheels continue to hold air. I'm sorry I don't have the name of the kit
I've done an Outex tubeless conversion on a different model of bike (RnineT), and would do the same to the Interceptor without hesitation.
I'd personally go with a set of Avon Roadriders.
Did you get a longer than standard venhill clutch cable (as you changed the bars)?
I believe it’s the same length as the stock.
Did you make your mind up on the fly screen? Enie, meanie minie mo, sometimes it's there, and then it goes..
Were you able to keep stock cables when adding the up and over risers? Mine seem too short? Cheers...
I never tried them with the stock bars. They are too short with the LSL bars.
For Sump Gaurd you can try ADV Tribe. Fits perfectly!
Cheers. Will take a look.
@@WildlifeMoto Well, I have been really motivated by your mods.. will try out some!
Where is the link for the rizomo cylinder?
With the headers and booster plug how much power are you squeezing out ?
I've not tested it. Bike feels a lot smoother and free revving now. Not sure if I have much more real world power as a result.
looking forward to the go fast mods , todays bikes are so restricted .
awesome
Really nice but how much did that lot cost ??
Can’t say, the wife might be watching 😂 (probably around £3k)
osam man i m thinking from where i can fnd the Bibrea disk pads in India
So how much have you spent £££££ buying all those bits ? Everything in total?
were i can find those valve cap ?
So price list? I'm thinking you doubled the cost of the bike!
pls tell total cost of these mods.thanks
Making me want one, I'm even tempted to chop in my MT10 for one.
Very different bikes. This would be a great stable mate for an MT10. Great for days when you want to chill.
@WildlifeMoto yea defo. I just love the classic looks too.
Do you happen to know a booster plug existing for the Euro5 as well?
I don't see why not. Give Tec a shout, they sell them and should have the latest info.
Once you upgrade the bike it's not so cheap anymore.
True. Was a fun little project though.
What’s the total spend though?
