I like the modifications you’ve made ! It’s nice to see a bike tastefully modified when the owner has left the hacksaw and the angle grinder in the toolbox 😉👍.
Great job. You’re so right about suspension and tyres, best mods by far. My R9T was totally transformed. Love what you’ve done with this, love the pipe too
Cheers, funnily enough it’s an R9T that I’m hoping to buy. Loved them since they first launched and it’s what I would have bought over the street twin, but the prices were just too high for me.
R9T only compares to Speed Twin not Street Twin. I almost bought the 9T but ended up going for the prettier (imo) ST1200. The 9T is very customisable though I’d potentially be interested in the RE if still for sale
Cheers for the update buddy. Love what you have done, the plans sound solid. I personally would love to see the finished article, but I understand that sometimes people's wants change. I'm keen to see what you decide. 😊
Looks great mate... I prefer the new exhaust set up vs the short underslung one. Customising bikes is a never ending story... are they ever finished? Be a shame to sell it, but I fully get it, am selling my custom Moto Guzzi V7, or at least trying to as well. It has only gone to the MoT and back the last 2 years pretty much.
You had to do it ?!....going through the tunnel and blipping the throttle ..(dont we all 😁) The enfield is looking well smart 👍. Keep the videos coming tony . Peace out ✌️
Most enjoyable video. Your slight (!) modifications have almost all been major improvements, but I would not risk those miniscule indicators snuggling up to the headlight. One splatted bug . . . When Royal Enfield made motorcycles previously, Morris Minors had indicators that flipped up to flash. Sexy. Have you considered installing something similar? Or hand signals with dayglo gloves?
The plan is to add stalks to space them out a little further. I had a '59 VW Beetle Cabrio that had semaphore signals, but nobody looks for those these days
Ha! Yes… I was going to build some anticipation 😂 but it’s not a secret that I’ve always wanted an RnineT, and I’ve got an opportunity to get an early one at a good price
I would stop modifying it and sell it as it is with all its original parts. Further modifications paint, clocks, etc. would best be left to the new owner.

You are absolutely correct the right things have been modded

@@mancavemoto Ah amazing. You’ll love it. Need the Wilbers rear shock though, makes such a difference.
Cheers, I’ll bear that in mind 👍
@@mancavemotoI’ll look forward to that Tony

Beautiful! Just passed my mod 2 and am going to buy an interceptor. This gives me loads of inspo to start my own project, smashed it!
Cheers, have fun with it
Great to see you and the bike Tony, glad you’re well and the additions are looking great. Keep tinkering 👍🏻
Cheers
Such a nice ride! Enjoy it!
Looking great the back end and seat has given the bike a big lift.Thanks for the content i love taking as much as i can off a bike.
No problem 👍

Yeah, there’s definitely a desire to see it finished, but I know what I’m like and I’ll always go further than I should lol
@mancavemoto Don't we all brother, don't we all 😂. At any rate, I look forward to seeing what you decide.
Looks very good, Tony.

I have that very same bike. Love it.
Looks great. And much more reasonably priced than some other efforts.
Good work.
Ride safe 👍
Thanks 👍
good very good
Loving the look of the Baker Express as you have Tony👌 Sad to see it go though 🫡
Yeah I really like it nice job Tony
Cheers John
Like it love the seat and rack also the exhaust looks and sounds great 👍
Thanks 👍
What is your thinking behind swapping a braced handlebar with a non-braced bar?
Looks for one, and a better quality, lighter stronger bar. No need for a brace

I wonder if he can make the short seat and rack fit my Bonnieville? The bikes are so similar
Interested to know where you found the shocks at £650. Everywhere I’ve looked has them at £750+
To be fair, I did them quite a while ago, I haven’t kept up with the latest prices
Love your machined spindles…..what, where?
They are made by Fastec Racing www.fastec-racing.co.uk/
I've got another question. What's the bike you're considering to replace this one? 😉
I’ve always wanted to do something with an RnineT, and I’ve got the chance to get an early one at a decent price
@@mancavemoto, curiosity peeked.
Needs a little pillion pad to cover the rack for that occasional 2-up requirement.
True, but I’ve removed the pillion pegs too. Might be a good suggestion for the company though 👍
What size front tyre are you running on the front?
Looking good!
It's a 110/80-18
Where i can hear this exhaust with no bafflers?
These are the short shots which will give you an idea ua-cam.com/video/PVQAiRqHoKo/v-deo.htmlsi=bbmsdJdMMD-EIlCV
Hello. Please, tell what size is rear tyre?
150/70-17
@@mancavemotooh, so it put in without any changes? Does the width fit?
Love the bike, interested if you sell it
Cheers, you can message me on insta or facebook
Very nice but you left us hanging with that tease about the bike you want to replace the RE with😵💫

Too loud
Would be nicer with chrome rims
not for me
Blk rims look terrible
They are stock
