The mods are truly amazing and will love to do on mine as well. But first I need to get the machine and a dream which is yet to be fulfilled. By the way, observed that the disc brakes at front also been changed. Isn’t it ?
I always believed that at least the ContiGT should've come with 17" wheels from the factory given its racer ideology, love to see how it played out in these mods🔥❤️
Would love to see an interview with joshua about the 17" alloy wheel conversion. That and the suspension are motorcycle changing mods, elevating a great budget bike into a great bike.
The video needs "Before-After" comparisons of: 1) weight of OEM spoke wheels/tires vs. alloy wheels/tires 2) weight of OEM exhaust vs. Trident exhaust 3) sound of OEM exhaust vs. Trident exhaust 4) *full profile* view of sitting position with OEM handlebar/pegs vs. set-back pegs and Renthall bars.

Vikrant ji u sound like john Abraham.. listening you is a treat to ears... Salute to camera man.. what a work excellent... liked the shaky effect too..
Love that bike build, very similar to what I wanted after riding mine but cost wise dissuaded me forcing a very early sale... The argument for "it's better to buy performance than build it" (unless of course you have very deep pockets) is what I'll be gravitating to from now on. But, many have fallen and will fall in love with it's classic roots and you can't blame them .
Good detail. The videography is good. I saw someone has commented about the lens being soiled. In fact, I liked it because somehow those spots on the lens further adds to the rustic appeal and retains the old school theme this bike is. I think you missed (or decided not to) mentioning about the brake rotors. All mods look good except I don't get the point of resizing the tyres. Or unless maybe I am missing something. With the stock being 100/90-R18 at the front.. the new size give you a front overall rolling differential (O.R.D.) of -51mm and with the rear stock being 130/70-R18 the rear O.R.D. sits at -27mm. This means, there is a massive speedo under-read and is way beyond acceptable O.R.D. tolerance differential of +/-9mm. Regardless you are not concerned about odometer calculations in the long run. I understand the reasons for pulling in the new size: 1. Tyre options, 2. Comfort, 3. Maneuverability etc, And with that being installed along with upgraded rotors, it is meant to offer better braking performance - that’s pretty obvious.
Thanks Diganta. Change is tyre size was to go down to 17 from 18 to improve the agility or turn-in response of the motorcycle - apart from the fact that 17 give more tyre options. As for speedo reading, the smaller over rolling circumference makes the speedo over read now, not under read. And no, I am concerned about a few extra kilometres in the odo as a result.
Love the name Deadpool. Absolutely agree with all the changes made. Would love to see a Powertronic ECU and mods moving the foot controls as well as the pillion footpeg forward
Absolutely well presented with clear diction and pronunciation. Very mature mods for a mature motorcycle. I would definitely go for these mods when I get this machine.
Just perfect.. I always thought of these issues and took step back from buying one. The foot peg issue was the biggest one. Spoke wheels the second. One more I would like to add on to these mods, is the Stinger 2 in 1 exhaust made in the UK. Never liked the stock exhaust look.
The only problem being sourcing out all the parts and finding the guy who can actually do the perfect job. I wish RE showrooms could give all the possible customization options as per the likings of the masses.
Nice choice of mods…great presentation. 😊Can u share few details on the contoured front disc rotor please… performance..availability and pricing. It definitely adds value I believe.
Hello Mr. Vikrant, Initially I thought it is a mere cosmetic mods but oh boy modifying suspension and wheels from spoke to alloys and tube tyre to tubeless was really brilliant and must have taken lot of thinking, work and pain. I have seen videos where aftermarket alloys have broken causing accident so in that regard what precaution you have taken? Modifying foot pegs was also equally important as this has been sore point reporter by many owners and test reviewers. Last but not least very interesting work, may be if RE can take clues, be professional and implement in the production?
Thanks Vikram. As for the alloys... one has to be careful. One can’t go braking hard into a ditch repeatedly and ask that the alloys stay intact. Having said that, it would take extreme circumstances for the alloy to crack. So if one is mindful about the type of wheels one is running, it should be okay.
Three months!!! we in hyderabad, get it in one week, max 15-20 days. Great dealers. One of the dealer asked me, if I would like to take one in evening.
@@nitishch1828 Haha, got this kind of response from the Hyundai dealership. In fact, I booked the car in the morning, finished paperwork and rode it out in the evening!
Saw ur bike at the service center and loved the wheels. So posted a pic on the group to see who was the owner and reached here ... Nice work.. What was the cost involved to get the wheels setup
i have been reading the comment section to see answer to only one question " does the abs work with the tire mod?" Its just that i dont want to lose such safety feature on a bike capably of 130 + speeds. pls reply
What an excellent video! This bike is so beautiful and the modifications you made are absolutely make sense. What do you think about the big-bore kit (865 cc)? Many greetings from Germany!
Hi sir..sir can u please tell me the exact size or name of the handlebar dat u put on ur interceptor..i know its of "renthal" but i want exact specifications so i can put it on to mine..as i hv to order it online..so there r chances dat i order a wrong one..by d way its really an amazing video with complete information..sir
Your Modification was great but I would bet on Pirelli or Michelin tyres.. also the headlight part needed some modifications too !!! With Hjg or similar kinds of fog lights!
Ive done the ton 2 up with 170kg between me and the pilion i didnt have any suspension issues. I did with my 07 Triumph Bonneville though and it was one of the first mods i did on that bike from almost brand new. I modded the Trumpy with IKON front and rear suspension. Its quality Australian made and a lot cheaper the YYS or ohlins. You should keep things in prespective as its not going to do over 200kph is it?. It won't be racing Ninjas, Gixxers or Ducati's will it?. I know they are detunned big time and full head work can increase numbers across the power range but thats another day for most. On the RF 650 i did the cans,a boostet plug, Motor scratch guard, the same wind shield, The fork gaters, The low engine bars, Ide like to get a better rear brake master cylinder as the stock one looks like its full when its empty as the diaphram gets sucked down in it. I think also the foot shift leavers ide like cast or billet alloy styled ones. Some things i won't bother with till they mal function, Wear or break. This bike does well over the 140kph which is loss of licence so i don't nees to do that now i know what its got. It picks up good and has great highway passing power to get around trucks quickly. Thats all i want. It pulls up well and has the slipper clutch so no mods required there. IKON is about $800 AUD front and back just do the work yourself. Thats a out half the price of YYS, I believe this was emotional spending on your part as its way overkill for this bikes capabilities as is Ikon but at least its half the doe.
I'm running 17" rims on my Continental GT and it's SO much better than the stock 18"s I haven't found a good alloy option for the front rim though, running a custom 17" spoked aluminium rim on the front by DismoTech. It's tubed but still researching what I can find for the front end in alloys. The rear was surprisingly easy though. Meteor 350's rear alloy is a straight fit for the twins 🤷🏻♂️
Modification are good when they work. But often times they don't last as much as the stock set up. And more over its difficult to get the required spares and service from authorized dealer once you modify this heavily.
It's nicer upgrade than the new 2021 interceptor as we all were expecting at least alloy wheels and tripper navigation from the new model. By the way can I use the front fender extension in my upcoming CB350 RS? Any jugad?

Nothing was covered for the front disc brake rotor. Please update the review. Thanx.
Hi
When I see vikrant ...then must be detailed video!
Thanks for the appreciation, Nilesh 😊
Thanks Nilesh!
This is what makes the interceptor complete... Alloys are an absolute necessity nd this alloy nd rubber looks so cool.. The bike is looking very good
I always believed that at least the ContiGT should've come with 17" wheels from the factory given its racer ideology, love to see how it played out in these mods🔥❤️
Would love to see an interview with joshua about the 17" alloy wheel conversion. That and the suspension are motorcycle changing mods, elevating a great budget bike into a great bike.
Relaxed(not over excited),detailed and clear explanation .....gem of bikewale...
Thank you!
The video needs "Before-After" comparisons of:
1) weight of OEM spoke wheels/tires vs. alloy wheels/tires
2) weight of OEM exhaust vs. Trident exhaust
3) sound of OEM exhaust vs. Trident exhaust
4) *full profile* view of sitting position with OEM handlebar/pegs vs. set-back pegs and Renthall bars.
This guy sounds so perfect when explaining stuff❤️
Thank you. :-)
definitely. so much better than all the melodrama/overacting youtubers.
@@vikrantsingh6916 Hey i heard that you could fit the meteor 350 rear alloy on the interceptor without much hassle or any kind of mod. Is it true??
@@afnan_02 It could be. I havent tried, so I am not sure.
@@vikrantsingh6916 Yes I think it works. Anyways thumbs up for the reply vikrant bhai !!
Btw is that triumph street twin alloys on your bike?

Thanks Rahul!
@@vikrantsingh6916 Wow you replied...
I love you sir.....

Nailed it with the decibel measurements. Always great reviews sir 👍
I saw your video about the yss suspension many months ago .glad to see the complete set now.
Thanks Arc.
Man thats just brilliant. You are a gem!!
Thank you Milin!
Would love to watch more modification stories. 👍
Surely Suhail.
❤ thank you for the great content! ❤ From Borneo
Thank you for the appreciation 👍🏼
Freaking Awesome Modification. Really something new I have seen after a long time. ❤❤❤❤
Plz sir make a separate video of how we can install 17" wheels in interceptor & from whom we can contact for this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That's exactly what we need the most! 😢
Those alloys wheels are from Mahindra Mojo ones. You can buy from Mahindra Mojo showroom. They super strong and lighter then Dominar one.
@@qaz123orama1 are the mojo ones plug and play or does it need any machining.
You can replace rear Wheel with Meteor's 17" alloy
I did it with my Interceptor
@@meraj1701 wat about front weels
Like what you've done, it's now more like my street twin, but still with that RE classic vibe, well done 👍.
Just perfect.. I always thought of these issues and took step back from buying one. The foot peg issue was the biggest one. Spoke wheels the second. One more I would like to add on to these mods, is the Stinger 2 in 1 exhaust made in the UK. Never liked the stock exhaust look.
I'm saving my money to buy this bike. Have to wait for another five months to buy but I will wait.
It will be worth the wait. There are others in the BikeWale team who are planning the same!
@@vikrantsingh6916 only concern is sir the price will get hiked for every budget that's hurt a lot
From which bike 17 inch alloys are sourced? And with this mod does Speedo needs to be recalibrated?
Nice informative content, nice cinematography loved It the way video was shot and explained 💥
Thank you Aravind . :-)
The only problem being sourcing out all the parts and finding the guy who can actually do the perfect job.
I wish RE showrooms could give all the possible customization options as per the likings of the masses.
As Always detailed review !! Yes Suspension upgrade is must stock is to soft and discomfort when you pushing it further.
Thanks Indrajit.
Can you please elaborate more on the 17 inch conversion, this is something I would do right away with the right knowledge
I see upgraded brakes too up front, more on that please? Loved the build! Cheers
Thanks Arjun. That’s the Mojo disc. It came with the wheels. Otherwise, the brake lines, the callipers etc are all stock INT.
@@vikrantsingh6916 So those alloys are from Mojo
The alloys and exhaust are the best modification 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love this kinda stuff.....
Thank you Vikrant
Came back to this video after 3 years!
Would love to know how these mods have aged and what changes you further made to the bike.
Nice choice of mods…great presentation. 😊Can u share few details on the contoured front disc rotor please… performance..availability and pricing. It definitely adds value I believe.
The disc is from a Mahindra Mojo.
Great set of modifications and well explained. Perhaps you can add the price details of each of those modifications in the description
Price is mentioned in the video. Scroll to the very end of the video.

Phuraa phuraaa.. i also love it😂❤
Man the intro music is lit gives gangsta vibes 😂😂😍
Kudos on the modification, RE should take some notes
You forgot to mention the price of continental gt foot pegs
Excellent modification on the bike. Thanks for explaining those.
I'm 50th watcher of this video
Thank you, Jon Snow 😊
Thanks for watching Jon Snow. Clearly, you know more than the show let on.
It's a great modification done but I was just wondering if we can make the back seat person ride more comfortable by doing something to the silence
Wow! I bought a top spec Venue over this bike because of the 3 month waiting time. Now I want to buy this again.
Three months!!! we in hyderabad, get it in one week, max 15-20 days. Great dealers. One of the dealer asked me, if I would like to take one in evening.

What about the wobble issue? Is it resolved??
O yes. Completely!
Pls suggest who does upgrades for interceptor 650 in Bangalore 🙏🏽
Can we tour on INT rather than himalayan?
Nice mods to consider going for, btw which alloys are those, i mean from which bike they're taken from . Please mention.
Mahindra Mojo.
Vikrant is a knowledge ka khazanaa
What a explaination this guy gives👍🙏🙏
Truly a fan🙏
Saw ur bike at the service center and loved the wheels. So posted a pic on the group to see who was the owner and reached here ... Nice work.. What was the cost involved to get the wheels setup
Hi Ren, the alloy wheels conversion cost is mentioned in the video. Please give it a watch and share.
Very well presented
Thanks Sachin!
Nice mods. Love the raspy exhaust note. One question though - what's the impact on ABS after the 17" when mod?
i have been reading the comment section to see answer to only one question " does the abs work with the tire mod?" Its just that i dont want to lose such safety feature on a bike capably of 130 + speeds. pls reply
What an excellent video! This bike is so beautiful and the modifications you made are absolutely make sense.
What do you think about the big-bore kit (865 cc)?
Many greetings from Germany!
If I ever get to buy this, I'll definitely do some of these.
Sir pls pls pls batayen ki leh Ladakh trip ke liye classic 350 le ya Interceptor 650,very much confused....budget no issue🙏
Super 👌 👍
Confused between interceptor 650 alloy vs cb500x, with one to buy.
Your opinion please.
hi.
which brand alloy wheels you have used?
can u plz give link
thanks in advance
Those are from the Mahindra Mojo. The front disc as well
Hi sir..sir can u please tell me the exact size or name of the handlebar dat u put on ur interceptor..i know its of "renthal" but i want exact specifications so i can put it on to mine..as i hv to order it online..so there r chances dat i order a wrong one..by d way its really an amazing video with complete information..sir
Nice modifications..should you also consider black out engine?
Thanks Manil. I did. But never got around to getting it done.
Your Modification was great but I would bet on Pirelli or Michelin tyres.. also the headlight part needed some modifications too !!! With Hjg or similar kinds of fog lights!
By how much has the ground clearance been compramised
14mm. But the bike doesn’t touch anywhere really.
Awesome mods. I want this exact bike! 😍
Now that's a tasteful mod!
Thanks! :-)

I'm running 17" rims on my Continental GT and it's SO much better than the stock 18"s
I haven't found a good alloy option for the front rim though, running a custom 17" spoked aluminium rim on the front by DismoTech. It's tubed but still researching what I can find for the front end in alloys.
The rear was surprisingly easy though. Meteor 350's rear alloy is a straight fit for the twins 🤷🏻♂️
Which disc rotor ate you using, the stock one or the meteor's?
Meteor's is bigger and can be better.
Vikrant sir on the thumbnail... Take my money
Brilliant modifications especially the foot pegs & the alloys which probably would have reduced the seat height ?
Yes the seat height is more accessible now.
Wondering from where did you source the renthal bars sir! I have been looking for them since forever!
What is brand name of that helmets. Love it😍😍. Reply please 😊😊
It’s a Royal Enfield Tropper helmet. Customised under the MIY program.
@@vikrantsingh6916 Thank you sir 🤗
I like all modification on #Deadpool.
Thanks Naresh.
Where did you get the Renthal Handlebars ?? Also handlebar model details please..
Are the RE powered touring seat worth it? Or better look something outside. Please suggest.
Magnificent work
A cost run-down of everything would have been nice. But a great video.
What a great host. This video made me a new sub.
Luved ur helmet ...retro cool ..which one is it...is putting a bubble visor an option in it
It’s an RE helemt. Part of its MIY program. And no, you can’t fit a bubble visor on it.
did the build impact the mileage on the bike ?
From where did you get these alloys from looks great on INT
A great modification to do to any bike to liven it up is to fit a quick action throttle.
Have you made a specific video for the 17" alloy wheels transformation?
Hi Vikrant sir, will the same spec YSS suspension work for Bear 650 as well. I've bought one and looking to upgrade the stiff stock rear suspension
Note to cameraman, Clean your camera man! ❤️
Thank you for the suggestion. We will definitely improve.
@@BikeWaleOfficial all excited for the next video then
Great review sir. Thanks
Thanks Manish.
Modification are good when they work. But often times they don't last as much as the stock set up. And more over its difficult to get the required spares and service from authorized dealer once you modify this heavily.
Yeah bro...
You are right.
Nice mod. Sir can u Tell me wer can i buy the footpeg can u send me the link sir .please
You cna Google motocaan. You will find it.
@@vikrantsingh6916 thanks sir let me check
Isn't the exhaust modification illegal?
I love those old exhausts
Bazookas!
Why do you not modify the lightings in the bike??? What about cornering lamps
Guess cause I am averse about riding in the dark... and so never felt the need.
Does downsizing the wheel diameter require any recalibration for the Speedo?
Yes, smaller front wheel means the speedo over reads now. So you ought be don’t 90 but it shows over 100. Great for gopro footage!
It's nicer upgrade than the new 2021 interceptor as we all were expecting at least alloy wheels and tripper navigation from the new model.
By the way can I use the front fender extension in my upcoming CB350 RS? Any jugad?
Hi. Can you please share the model and the details of the place from where you got the handle bar?
