Stuart. I have to say you are wasted on RUclips. You need a TV show. Your.voice is just so relaxing to listen to, I came for the bike and now it's just to listen to you describe everything in the most nostalgic way without even trying. Keep up the good work
@@stuartfillinghamI only started riding about 4 years ago, but I had the problem that no one really talks about. All bike are now plastic, too much focus on unusable power and they cannot be repaired without a dealer. The royal enfield has just brought motorcycling back to its original function. Cheap effective personal transport. And you sir just say it as it should be. Thank you
Great video Stuart, really easy to follow your instructions, very clear. Listening to you is always like an ode to common sense and no b.s., very refreshing.
I have the flyscreen, I now have my Interceptor, Now to do this "20 minute" job! I see this as maybe an hour with a tea break in the middle to settle my nerves as I work on my new bike. This video definitely gives confidence.
Thank you for this vid!! Bought a 2021 RE INT last month and love it. I've been upgrading since i got it and wanted this windscreen but didn't want to pay my dealer more to put it on than the screen cost itself. Watched your video twice and an hour later I was riding! The 2021 headlight bezel has 2 screws at the bottom holding it on vs your 1 at the top but other than that spot on. Nice work and keep riding safe.
Cheers for the info Stu. I fitted a tall fly screen today and found it easy after watching you. I didn’t even try to read the included instructions as I couldn’t find a microscope. For information, the 2022 Interceptors ( and probably GT) don’t have a single screw at the top of the shell. They have one each side about 45 degrees down from the centre. You have to remove these fully to remove the lamp. when replacing the rim, there is a slot on top of the shell that a spigot has to slot into first. Keep up the good work. 👍
Stuart, I just picked up a gently used Interceptor 650. Your videos were very helpful in helping me learn about the bike and make my final decision to get one. Thank you!
Good info. I just bought a flyscreen for my Interceptor as was a bit daunted by the supplied fitting instructions. Watched Stuarts video and the confidence level went through the roof. Excellent instructions, especially the tips on wiring and the long screwdriver. Outstanding!
I really like watching your videos. The sound and picture quality is excellent and I can understand every word you say and you don't go on and on about useless information like some videos do.
Just as an update, the 2021 RE Interceptor 650 ditched the top screw on the headlight housing. There are now just two screws at about 4 and 8 o'clock on the headlamp, and a notch on top of it that the bezel slides back into. The only process change from this video was A) not needing a very long screwdriver, and B) screwing in the smaller bolts on the flyscreen as the last step, so as to be able to slide that notch on the headlamp unit back in place. Cheers and thanks for the guide, Stuart!
The tiny manual (I used my magnifying ring I use for soldering to read it) says to do one side at a time to avoid disturbing the headlight aim. The issue then is loosening and tightening the Indicator nuts, open ended spanner, and then fitting the screen to the already installed brackets are they required a bit of persuasion to line up with the screen after they were already on the bike.
I didnt follow the instructions Paula's I just took the practical approach. It's easier in my opinion to re align the light afterwards than mess around with it kept in place.
@@stuartfillingham7011 I think doing it your way is better, the manual way runs the risk of stripping one of the 4 small bolts in the brackets due to the need to squeeze them together to get the screen to fit on.
Stuart, thank you so much for your instructions. I don't have much experience but really enjoy working on my bike and these videos truly are a pleasure.
Hope to get the Interceptor in chrome next year from LMT. So looking at your videos it's going to make it a lot easier to bolt on all the goodies I have planed for her. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos.
Just added this to my RE INT 650 this morning. A few things of note. 1) at least on my bike there is no top screw on the headlight mounting. Only two side screws. Not sure if this is a USA-spec thing or what, but I spent a good 10 minutes looking everywhere for that top screw, only to take a chance that removing (all the way) the two side screws would allow the housing to release. It worked. 2_ I followed the directions in the kit, and that allowed me to avoid taking the entire headlight off and recalibrating headlight level afterwards. A bit of a pain but not too bad. 3) There is a small but noticeable gap between the metal “Royal Enfield” plate and the screen itself. It is as if they are bent at different angles. It not not a major issue as the screen housing fits very nicely on the bracket, with no forcing of any kind, but a bit strange. 4) I do like the look and fit of the screen. It gives the bike a nice finished look, especially on the black colored bike. Wind blast is only slightly reduced, however. Don’t count on this to be a wind blocker on the order of a windshield. It is not. Rather, it gives a bit of relief at highway speed. But it didn’t change the angle of the wind, in my case at least. It still hits me at the top of the shoulders. But I’m keeping the flyscreen - I am quite happy with it. Next step - bar end mirrors.
Installed and tested the tall windscreen. This work better than I expected and just as you said it would. High quality item that fits the bike perfect. Combine this with the motne risers and it completely changes the look of your instrument cluster for the better. Love this bike, sold the Himalayan yesterday.
Appreciate the fine video. Royal Enfield have repositioned the headlamp screws to the side of the dome and just below the indicators. This is seen on my late 2020 Interceptor which has the clear lens headlamp. I have not tried opening the headlamp assembly to check if only partial loosening of the screw is required to access the wiring within. There are two screws visible. One on each side.
This "Big Girl's Blouse", with a screen + extender on his tiger 800 enjoyed your video. The best screen I ever had, I'm 6'4", was an ex-police Avon fairing on my BSA B33 & sidecar. I looked over the top of the screen & the snowflakes went straight over my crash helmet. Amazing to watch. Worked in the rain as well. Never had another screen as good.
Thank you sir for Posting this amazing installation video of the fly screen of interceptor. You always update best and helpful content. I was able to assemble and install the windscreen easily. Thank you sir🙏🙏
I can’t wait to get my new Interceptor 650. I bought it last week. It’s my first motorcycle after 5years with scooter HONDA PCX 125, at the age of 42 😁.
Brilliant job this saves me time having to read these tiny instructons. Cheers!. Ok ive done the job as per instruction for this video and it turned out good. I opted for the longer bolts provided as i believe it needed them. If i was to do it again i would do the brackets first then the screen to the brackets.
This is the first I've researched into any measure of wind protection for a 650 RE. Having this knowledge probably increases the likelihood of me really really wanting a Continental GT by 37% conservatively.
Turn signal connections do take quite a bit of unnerving prying. This turned out to add more than a few minutes to the installation of my GIVI pannier racks, trying to be careful figuring out just the right amount of poking and prying to get them apart still reasonably intact.
The headlight screws on the 2022 model are on the sides, so no need to se longer screws. I also recommend installing the holding brakes first and leave the shield to the end. This makes fastening the indicator lights a lot easier I found.
Actually sir it took me 30 minutes just to get the glued on stickers and foam off the back of the stainless steel plate. Trupentine worked there. Then I discovered I didn't have an 18mm spanner to remove the turn signals. Off to the Autozone store and $12 later I was back on the project. Your video is the best how to on this installation on RUclips. Thanks again.
Another great video - thank's Stuart. I just installed my fly screen on my new I(2019) Interceptor. My headlight was different than yours - mine has 2 screws that must be removed completely to get the light cover off. There's also a tab at the top that required me to remove the screen in order to reinstall the light cover. Royal Enfield has obviously made some improvements to the headlight assembly.
Hi Scott, thanks for your post as I'm just about to fit a screen to my 2020 Interceptor; are you saying you shouldn't assemble the screen to the bracket until after the fitting is completed? Cheers, Andy
I've just fitted mine and the instructions here were very helpful. However, I didn't have a long Phillips or pozidrive screwdriver. I was going to drive to screwfix or toolstation and get one especially, until I had the idea of doing up the headlight before it was tightened on the bolts. I just angled it down, put it on and tightened up the screw . Then I angled it upright and tightened the lamp bolts at the side. What have I missed doing it this way? I'll probably find out in a minute when I take it out for a ride.
Sorry to keep bugging you. I installed the Fly screen today, thanks to your video, it wasn't very hard.. The "One bracket at a time" plan did not help keep the headlight aligned. It went from "examining the tread on my front tire" to "looking for enemy aircraft" as I tightened the nuts . I guess it's kind of in the middle now. As for it's effectiveness.. it is very much worth it. I could feel a definite improvement at speed and could easily ride for 2 hours without fatigue. My scooters and my RE 500 all have wind screens and they are nice....but I wanted something different for my Interceptor.
Stuart, your videos are the best. Now... My Interceptor was made in March 2019 and... The two screws holding the headlamp bezel were at 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock negating the need for the long screwdriver. I also found the original bolts longer than the replacements and I had a spring wire attached to the headlamp attachment bolts that held all the wires. Maybe they have changed the design or have different factories??? Either way it was easy enough but just different on my bike
I just received my short fly screen for my 2020 Continental GT. Thanks very much for your install video as the supplied instructions need a microscope to read. I have one question though, my kit came with four SS flanged inserts that look like they are meant to be inserted into the rubber grommets. The thing is I can't find any info on these inserts. Which way should they be inserted into the grommets, from the front side or the back side of the screen? I figured that as you know everything there is to know about the RE 650 you would be able to answer my question. Thanks Don

Unpopular opinion... I hope that RE starts sponsoring/giving you gear and accessories for you to assemble and review. I think that it needs to be done by someone that understands what "the public" wants and you are perfect for it.
Oh that would be great Ivan! this bikes costing me a small fortune!

@@stuartfillingham as someone that takes pride in representing what British motorcycling is, was and what will be all about, I just think that RE giving you "some spares" wouldn't hurt them and make no mistake; I subbed because you are (as far as I can tell) the only "British Gentleman Motorcyclist" channel in the UK. Surely that counts for something...
Did you remove the foam pads from the stainless part of the fly screen? I left them on and there is a big gap between the stainless and the Perspex, not sure if I should remove it, maybe there to prevent vibration.
Just received my screen but it came with four stainless steel "top hat" pieces that go inside the screen mounting rubbers which means the mounting screws cannot in theory be over tightened.
Hi Stuart, a Great Detailed video of how to install the screen, totally agree with RE instructions being small , requiring Steve Austin eye sight to read them. Can't help but note that you now have a different screen, any particular reason?
Hi Stuart very detail video, glad that you have it. I'm about to put my fly screen myself, wish me luck. On the other hand on the beginning of your video when you cruising the country road i'm thinking the same about that white headlamp bright, with what product you change it ? the manufacture comes with yellow bright and it's looking good with white is that LED lamp ? . Thanks Stuart !.
*My observation on carbon racing windshield* *Pros..* 1. Zero fluttering at any speed, rock solid 2. Robust build quality 3. Almost zero windblast to chest and neck. 4. Little windblast at top of helmet but not on visor. I am 6.1" and i have added 1" cushion to seat. I assume anyone below 5.8" won't have any windblast even at top of helmet on stock seat. 5. Customisable windshield angles as per individual's preference. 6. Asthetically very good. Gives big bike kind of stance to budget Motorcycle. 7. Overall excellent VFM kit *Cons...* 1. Bad days for peek (tuk) and ride guys. Surface isn't exactly transparent so visibility is comprised but again who rides seeing through windshield 🤣 2. Installation is tricky for few tight mounts, little grease will sort out that issue. 3. Handlebar may become slightly heavy ( one may not notice it) with increasing wind drag 4. Wind cutting noise above 80+ kmph ( depends on angle of shiel) due to aerodynamic nature of shield 5. Side lights reflections peep inside windshield which may be tricky in night rides including dispersion ( if any) of lights by on coming traffic. *Verdict* Excellent build quality product at such price. Pros easily outgun cons.
Not sure it would have worked out but I would be tempted to install the brackets one side at a time so as not to have to readjust the headlamp aiming, attaching the fly screen to the brackets last.
Echoing another comment... my 2020 US spec 650 has two headlight bezel screws at 4 and 8 o’clock. Mounting tab is on top and will not clear installed screen, so bezel must be reinstalled first (yes, I learned the hard way). Fortunately there are “alignment marks” cast into the headlight brackets and headlamp to set the proper angle. The short bolts provided in the kit are not needed as my Interceptor has wire loom holdback clips that are factory installed and need to go around the original headlight housing bolts to engage. I also have the “round” indicators, rather than your rectangular ones that have a keyway for proper alignment. The 18mm nuts are all but impossible to reach with the headlamp bowl installed. Many lessons learned. The Enfield (microscopic) instructions were for the previous iteration and all but worthless. If I hadn’t watched your video, I’d still be fighting the “good fight”.

Who even dislikes this?! I guess old school engineering doesn't rev their hearts.
The screen is to deflect flies from your teeth 😂👍🏻
The title is also wrong and unhelpful; this is the SHORT fly screen, not the tall one.
@@bronwynoshust8290 actually it is the tall one.

Did you remove the foam pads from the stainless part of the fly screen?
I left them on and there is a big gap between the stainless and the Perspex, not sure if I should remove it, maybe there to prevent vibration.
I had the same doubt. Big gap but probably their job is to absorb the shocks avoiding annoying noises.

4. Little windblast at top of helmet but not on visor. I am 6.1" and i have added 1" cushion to seat. I assume anyone below 5.8" won't have any windblast even at top of helmet on stock seat.
5. Customisable windshield angles as per individual's preference.
6. Asthetically very good. Gives big bike kind of stance to budget Motorcycle.
7. Overall excellent VFM kit
*Cons...*
1. Bad days for peek (tuk) and ride guys. Surface isn't exactly transparent so visibility is comprised but again who rides seeing through windshield 🤣
2. Installation is tricky for few tight mounts, little grease will sort out that issue.
3. Handlebar may become slightly heavy ( one may not notice it) with increasing wind drag
4. Wind cutting noise above 80+ kmph ( depends on angle of shiel) due to aerodynamic nature of shield
5. Side lights reflections peep inside windshield which may be tricky in night rides including dispersion ( if any) of lights by on coming traffic.
*Verdict*
Excellent build quality product at such price. Pros easily outgun cons.
Stuart, are you running an LED headlamp? If so, what make/model? I'm considering one for my INT650
Motorcycle documentarian,you are sir, if only I could subscribe twice
Thank you Dr!
Really enjoy your channel Stuart. Screen looks great. Is that a standard globe in your headlight?
Not sure it would have worked out but I would be tempted to install the brackets one side at a time so as not to have to readjust the headlamp aiming, attaching the fly screen to the brackets last.
Does the fly screen really work? Got my orange crush, been a week I cannot tolerate the wind buffeting.
I'm thinking it may look better and still fit without the trim plate.
Correct. I just fitted mine and the trim plate is just that a decorative trim.
@@paulaus ooh, show us a picture
I wonder if you could get a Renthal handlebar of the same dimensions? That crossbar kind of bothers me.
Bill Marsh also if the renthal comes with a little more pull back
I think motone make an up and over riser that might work with the captor!@@gautam9
Do you think this would fit the bullet?
Very nice piece of kit there! Now, what's the background music?
Can I fit this tall Fly screen on Himalayan? What do you think about?
Echoing another comment... my 2020 US spec 650 has two headlight bezel screws at 4 and 8 o’clock. Mounting tab is on top and will not clear installed screen, so bezel must be reinstalled first (yes, I learned the hard way). Fortunately there are “alignment marks” cast into the headlight brackets and headlamp to set the proper angle. The short bolts provided in the kit are not needed as my Interceptor has wire loom holdback clips that are factory installed and need to go around the original headlight housing bolts to engage. I also have the “round” indicators, rather than your rectangular ones that have a keyway for proper alignment. The 18mm nuts are all but impossible to reach with the headlamp bowl installed. Many lessons learned. The Enfield (microscopic) instructions were for the previous iteration and all but worthless. If I hadn’t watched your video, I’d still be fighting the “good fight”.
