Absolutely brilliant mods. Sadly not all the mods you showed seem to be available here in India, but a great video to explore what can be done. Thanks 🔥
Yes, such a shame about the restrictions on mods in India. The U.K gov likes to pretend that bikers don't exist, so we quietly get away with all sorts :)
As soon as I heard the bike I thought the pipes may have been changed. Sounds FANTASTIC. Hope to get one this year. I would like to do a 2-1 headers which would cut a ton of weight and clean up the look of the bike too. We'll see. Bike looks great!
Consider fitting the Conti Road Attack 3 tyre. Best backroad tyre on the planet in my experience (and it won best backroad tyre in Germany several years back to back). Incredible predictable grip even from cold, deep groves that shift water fast and even allow grip on light off road use, with exceptional longevity too. Best of all, is simply the 'feel' they have for peg to peg scratching, confidence inspiring.
I agree, the Interceptor is fantastic straight out of the box, but the fuel booster plug and DNA air filter are essential first upgrades, acceleration is just so much smoother. I've ordered YSS front suspension and TEC rear shock and exhaust upgrades so it looks like I'm on the right track! Cheers.
I'm very interested in getting one of these but here I USA the dealer suck. They know absolutely nothing about these bikes that being said I like to thank guys like u for making these videos.
Very, very nice video! Your modifications are absolute useful and make this bike by the way so beautiful! In the past i drove many modern bikes like a Fireblade, BMW S 1000 R and so on, now i'm a proud owner of one of the last Triumph 1050 Speed Triple. All these bikes are equipped with everything, you can wish, but: this Royal Enfield is a really dreambike, a bike for the heart - especially with the mods you made. I think about to get an Interceptor, but i'm not sure, that all the mods are possible here in Germany! Greetings and many thanks for this video!
The Interceptor is a bike I am interested in, had a ride today along with the Super Meteor and loved both. Decisions, decisions. I like the bars you have put on with the risers. I am 6' 1" and find the INT650 a bit small but the bar mods would help. If I get one I will drop the pegs as well. One thing I found with the INT650 was a stiff clutch, like back in the day. You explained your stance very well, I think that helps a lot. Keep it up.
Great video man. I have the same bike and I have done some of the same mods. Air filter, S&S pipes, black handlebars, tec bike parts levers. I would like to change the tail light as it is quite massive which is nice and safe but doesn't look great. Very interesting what you said about how much of a difference the suspension makes and also the throttle. I love the bike and yours looks great!
Learn to trail brake maybe. The original is good if set up right. Its a bike that can just push the TON. Im 120kg and with a 68kg pillion handling hs never been an issue for me but go ahead and spend up large.
I'm going to be doing a number of these mods on my Continental GT Black Magic. Only had it in September, and already replaced the stock cans with Lexmoto slip-ons and they sound phenomenal, even if the branding on them is a little questionable. DNA performance filter was the first thing to be changed, as were the mirrors for the motogadget mo.spy bar end ones, which are wonderful. As for others to come, definitely going to go for the YSS front and rear upgrades, as too many owners and reviewers have raved about them for me to simply ignore how good they are and may even sort out the brake and clutch lever setup, but I'm happy with it for now (and only 500 miles since picking it up). Your setup is looking stunning though and that sound... oh sweet Zeus that sound!
Sounds like you are well on your way to creating an awesome bike. The YSS shocks are indeed a great upgrade, you’ll be able to really push on with confidence. Next big mod for me will be the tyres, which should help too. Ride safe 👍
Had the glitter n dust model for a couple months now and love it. Only issue I have is trying to find fun after market parts here in Oz. Trying to find somewhere I can buy that Scorpion exhaust. Great video man!
Like what you’ve done really made it personal 👍. Just bought an Interceptor 650, got same pipes and dna air filter. I’m looking at springs and shox next although I won’t do as much as you’ve done I kinda like the old 70’s look with slight mods. Good work 😎👍.
Congrats on the new bike. Yes it looks great out of the box. Have a look at the 2Win shocks from The Shock Factory if you want something more inline with the style of the bike. These were going to be my choice but they had some production issues during the first wave of C-19. It might be sorted now.
Will take a look thanks, I’ve also fitted motone bar risers and maybe will change bars for something black and lighter, which model of lsl bars did you use ? I don’t want anything too wide and start to get into cable changes etc. plus I need filtering capabilities so wider bars can be a problem. Thanks 👍🏴
Yes you need to be careful with the Motone risers and aftermarket bars. When I installed the LSL naked bars I had to re-route the throttle cables behind the forks and mess around with the routing of the break line. I also cut about 1.2cm off the end of each side with a pipe cutter. I'm currently running the LSL Superbike bars with a re-routed brake line and longer throttle cables (Domino). It's a bit of a pain.
Steve I 've got hagon shocks on mine and would recommend them. Still have that old school classic cool and are more than enough for the bike. Up front I went for the ktech cartridge kit, expensive but worth every penny.
The Shock Factory have just done a production run of the Interceptor 2Win shocks. I took delivery and fitted a set a few days ago. Unfortunately I haven't been able to try them out yet so can't comment on how they perform but if they work as well as they look I will be very pleased.
Hi! I’m sure I’ve seen a full vid of you fitting the Domino throttle? Mines just arrived and now I can’t seem to find your video. I’ll almost certainly need step by step instructions 😂
Here in Belgium and Luxembourg and France you need a conformity certificate for other exhaust pipes, as far as I know this is also the case in Austria and Italy. For that reason I took the Akrapovic pipe of my Yamaha FZ1 Fazer when I bought it second hand and went back to a stock pipe. There was a conformity certificate with the bike but the police in those country's has always the last word and you don't want a 250 euro fine when driving there. Something for English bikers to remember when they come to the continent. The other mods of you look interesting, I am interested in the Domino XM2 Throttle mod.
Good point, always worth staying on the right side of the law. These pipes are "e marked" and confirm with BSAU 193A. They also come with a bunch of paperwork that I didn't read. Police in the UK generally will leave you alone unless you take the absolute micky. These pipes don't turn heads like the Akra on my Tuono haha.
I had never thought about the brakes and suspension in the way you presented, regarding power, brilliant observation. I've owned dozens of bikes over the years and find myself leaning toward this simpler kind of machine, especially the RE, they are such a superb machine. A very 'well-rounded' presentation, as befits the Bike. Dave, Aotearoa nz
Its interesting about the booster plug. I've not seen any tangible evidence it works. I'm definitely going for your choice of pipes as I agree the sound is lovely.
I fitted a booster plug on my Bonneville T120 and it definitely stopped low speed snatchiness in town, but I’ve not noticed this to be a problem on the Interceptor so doubt I’ll bother. Ditto for pipes running with baffles in and they’re excellent haven’t tried baffles out yet.
Conti GT here. The Booster Plug completely changes the character of the bike, especially low down. So smooth. And no, don't expect extra power. It just snoothes the power the bike has out better. Best 150 bucks i have spent on the bike so far.
You have done some great mods to your bike. The most important thing is that you are happy with them. So far I have held off from the air filter/ booster plug, not yet fully convinced about it. I think the motone bar risers are the best looking I have seen so far, but I am quite happy with the standard set up. I like the idea of the yss front suspension but I’ve only seen it installed on bikes with bar risers, so I’m holding off on that until I see it successfully installed with standard bars. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Martin. Yes, I'm a bit in love with the way it turned out. Agree about the fuel plug, these is no real evidence that it delivers more power. I would say it "feels" smoother though (subjective I know)
@@WildlifeMoto Well, it doesn't deliver more power. If you read the free e-book on www.boosterplug.com/shop/cms-fuel_injection_book.html they actually explain that it doesn't and why. Very educational book, BTW. Ah, and no stakes in the Boosterplug company, BTW. I just love that purchase.
@@WildlifeMoto the booster plug is definitely smoother, particularly at low revs. It used to feel on the verge of stalling when doing low rev manoeuvres.
Look at TEC bike parts simple mod of the air intake cover as a first step if you're not totally convinced about the air filter. He cuts the top off the plastic cover to allow more airflow. The standard setup is very restrictive.
I have really enjoyed your video’s,really informative. I have bought the same bike as yours,and the plan is to convert it into a Scrambler,got similar mods to yours, Plus Arrow high level two into one pipe,loads of stuff from KSpeed in Thailand and a really trick CNC speedo from Cognito Moto in the States. You have inspired me to do a video diary of the build,as I usually just post my build pictures on my Street Tuff Customs Insta and FB feeds! 😁👍
Just bought a glitter and dust 2019 already ordered DNA filter , booster plug ,sump guard , fork Gators , short Fly screen , mini engine bars and more to come 🤦♂️
I'll chuck another name into the grip debate then. Have a look at Beston grips, nice barrel shape on them to give a good diameter where you need it but don't look too fat. Plus suit the look of the bike as they're classic grips anyway
Great series of videos about this fantastic bike! I’m 6 foot and wanted to know whether anyone has done any two up riding on this bike as it’s on my short list. My wife is also my height... Cheers for any insight folks.
I ride with a pillion but my over half is only 5.3. We only do short trips but she's fairly comfortable back there. I would recommend doing a test ride.
Great video btw, You might want to checkout the RE short flyscreen for the interceptor i have it on mine and looks great, also dont get the long one it looks ugly than the short one......also you have to check out the fork gattors it looks badass on mine....luv from india
Hi Jeff. Thanks for watching. I agreed that short scree looks great, I actually have it. Unfortunately it won’t fit with the aftermarket headlight brackets that I’m currently using.
Damn that sucks.....well guess you can’t have everything....Anyways stay safe out there keep up the good work, patiently waiting on your next video....( ^_^)_/
Really enjoying the content. Love the modz you have done so far. Incredible bike, especially the soundtrack. I admire the cleanliness of the bike too. Have you ever looked into paint protection film or ceramic coating?
Thanks for the great video. Just picked up my Interceptor here in Queensland. Have been riding over 50 years, had over 15 new bikes and i love this one. How much would the mods have cost you in total? Just curious. Cheers Ian
Hello sir ! Unfortunately this colour is not available in India, so is this colour combination (red & balck) custom made by you or is it available in England only ? The closest colour combo like this in Indian version of Interceptor 650 is the "Sunset Strip" Looking forward for your reply Thank you
Thank you! Yes, I've been looking into different tires for the rear. I might stay with the standard size as I think skinny tires work well. Still researching :)
Regarding tires; I bought a Bridgestone "Spitfire 11F" in 110/90 × 18 for the front; it brings the speedometer/odometer close to reality. For the rear a Pirelli Phantom SportComp in 150/70 R18 which may require a sprocket change; current is a 140/70 "Battlax" BT 45r. Took forever for the stock Pirelli tires to wear out.
Great Video! does anyone know if the YSS front kit used here will also fit a 2021 Continental gt650,,,I can't seem to find an equivalent kit, only for up to 2019??
my interceptor 650 struggles to go beyond 3000 rpm, I don't understand what's the problem. I see many videos for which the rpm goes very smoothly. but for my bike it doesn't. am I the only one facing this issue.. can you please guide. ..?
How you keep your electricals and other internal parts so clean is a a wonder . Please give some tips....the inner parta of my interceptor looks horrible now.
I'll make a video on this soon. I always keep the bike coated in ACF50 and use various waxes and sealers on the paint and wheels. This way when the bike gets dirty, it's pretty easy to get it clean again. When the engine casing (the painted parts) gets dirty, I just use a gentle degreaser and a brush to clean it up for before the dirt gets burnt in.
Hi there really love what you have done to the bike, I'd like to ask you what do you think is best for the Royal Enfield Interceptor the scorpion pipes or the S&S pipes, Love to hear people's opinions on this, Jason,
Thanks for the great video. May I ask, is your 650 twin a Euro 4 engine? I looked into the fuel plug loom from Tec bike parts in the northeast, but their website said its not suitable for the Euro 5. I own the GT, a 2023 Euro 5 model, and am looking to find a solution.
Another brill video - cheers. Quick question: is the task of adjusting or checking the valve clearances a particularly tricky one to carry out? Are there any issues to watch out for when performing this? I believe the tank has to come off?
Hey I am looking to buy this as a daily commute as well as doing a bit of touring with my wife. How do you feel hunk it’ll handle touring with a pillion? I currently have a VFR1200F which is a beast but I am just not enjoying it as much as my older RE Bullet I owned about 8 years ago. Sometimes faster is not always better. This bike is really appealing, just not sure it’ll have enough power for both me and my wife. Not expecting on doing 180km 2 up but I would like to keep up with highway traffic
Hi, At 5:53, I see that together with the Domino throttle, you've also replaced the original RE commodo with a Domino commodo. How did you connect it ?? Domino commodo has 5 wires, RE original commodo has only 4....I looked at the Domino & RE electrical diagrams, but that's very difficult for me to understand these... Thanks for help.
hi,, if i get one of these i would like a list of the parts please, as the add ons you have done seem to take the bike to another level,,, if a person buys an re 650 with extras it is still cheaper than a w800 or triumph t100 , i like the look of the t120 but although its a premium bike the re is not that far behind , good video, thanks..
Excellent video. A few questions, is there any performative advantages of dual pipes vs 2 into 1 or vice versa? Do you know the widest wheel/ tire that will fit the rear swing arm? Same with the front forks? With the upgraded throttle can heated grips be fitted? Cheers.
Love the bike, it looks and sounds amazing. Hope you don't think it rude of me but how much did you spend? and could you give us a breakdown of those costs please. I'm looking to get back on a bike and only have certain budget so if I dont do what you've done it's gonna be a triumph trident for me. Great channel great posts.
@@WildlifeMoto hiya, checkout your reply to @chainbrothers. I tried asking you a question there but me being a bit of techno bimbo I'm not sure if I actually linked it to you 🤦♂️. I was asking for a breakdown of the overall cost for the mods. Cheers

Very much on the right track. Enjoy!
Hi, have you fitted bar risers?
@@martinowl I've ordered them together with the suspension ... Because I'm a short arse, not because they are needed for the front suspension.
I'm very interested in getting one of these but here I USA the dealer suck. They know absolutely nothing about these bikes that being said I like to thank guys like u for making these videos.
I'm actually considering swapping in my Ninja SX for one of these. A good practical bike for everyday riding.
Very, very nice video! Your modifications are absolute useful and make this bike by the way so beautiful!

Thank you 😊
Thank you sir. 👍
Awesome mate.
I took one for a ride the other day and enjoyed it so much!
I now want one.
The yss rear shocks was my fav among the mods !
Yes love them. Cheers.
Learn to trail brake maybe. The original is good if set up right.
Its a bike that can just push the TON.
Im 120kg and with a 68kg pillion handling hs never been an issue for me but go ahead and spend up large.
Nice Mate .
Glitter n dust coming my way in 2months going to do a few of them mods I'm exited .
Stay Safe
Very nice. You’ll love it! Happy to help if you have any questions about your mods.
I'm going to be doing a number of these mods on my Continental GT Black Magic.
Only had it in September, and already replaced the stock cans with Lexmoto slip-ons and they sound phenomenal, even if the branding on them is a little questionable. DNA performance filter was the first thing to be changed, as were the mirrors for the motogadget mo.spy bar end ones, which are wonderful.
As for others to come, definitely going to go for the YSS front and rear upgrades, as too many owners and reviewers have raved about them for me to simply ignore how good they are and may even sort out the brake and clutch lever setup, but I'm happy with it for now (and only 500 miles since picking it up).

All nice mods, Grip puppies are worth fitting if you're interested. I love the larger radius for hand comfort, highly recommended.
These look great, I’ll give them a try. Cheers.
Plz take care while washing the bike, if the grip puppies absorb water then it's not giving that cushioning like before.
Osam dude plz install the big bore kit next, even now u made this bike 2k costlier but is amazing ❤️👍🙏
Excellent video - after watching this, have fitted the motone risers and LSL bars its made the ergonomics so much better, thanks again
Cheers Tom. Glad it help you find a good set up.
God, that bike sounds so good. Bravo sir.
Dude dominos throttle kit looks awesome it's first time seeing it and I'm in love with it.
Had the glitter n dust model for a couple months now and love it. Only issue I have is trying to find fun after market parts here in Oz. Trying to find somewhere I can buy that Scorpion exhaust. Great video man!
Did you end up finding it?
Now, i can upgrade my bike. Love your work mate 👏🏻👍🏻
The indians have really been hitting this range out of the park lately. They sound fantastic.
Thanks for sharing. I love the direction you have taken with this, do you mind if I ask what the total cost of the mods has been so far?
Cheers. Probably around £2,500 for these mods.
😅 Adding up a little, we can get a new INT 650 in India..
Good video :)

Best mod in my opinion is the 16T sprocket.
Here in Belgium and Luxembourg and France you need a conformity certificate for other exhaust pipes, as far as I know this is also the case in Austria and Italy. For that reason I took the Akrapovic pipe of my Yamaha FZ1 Fazer when I bought it second hand and went back to a stock pipe.

Trust me the booster plug works. It just makes the bike much smoother and more responsive at low speed / revs.
The booster plug does make a difference providing the exhausts are freeflow and the airbox DNA mod has been done.
Very good choices you made and well presented thanks
Great video and so well presented. Thank you very much. Have you thought about upgrades for grippier tires yet? I'm not too happy with the stock set.
Yes, I will replace mine once the stockers are worn out. Maybe continental.
*Phenomenal video!*
Mate you've pretty much doubled the value of that bike!!!
Double the cost or resale value? 😂

That's mods awesome 👍 bro ❤️
That exhaust note 👍🏼❤️
Btw, are you comfortable with the stock seat setup? Is it suitable for a long distance trip?
Yes I’m ok with the stock seat. I only ride for a couple of hours at a time and it’s fine for that. I might go for a leather upgrade one day 🤑
Get rid of the Boost plug, get a Power Commander. The difference is extreme.
I believe changing the tires is the first thing to do. Doing that alone will fix a good deal of the wallowing
Yep, looking forward to getting a decent set of radials soon.
@@WildlifeMoto I'm looking forward to getting some shocks. Yours are nice

My man , great video. But Ive gotta know, Where’s the sweater from ?

All customization looks great.
Thank you sir.
I love this channel.
Thanks Drew
For grips, have a look at the leather grip wraps from Trip Machine, the black would look fantastic. :-)
Thanks Steve, i'll check them out
Awesome and helpful video! Do you recommend retuning after upgrading air filter and exhaust pipes?
fancy your mods!
are the domino switches plug and play for interceptor 650 or you have to cut and connect the wire? thanks for the info
Please provide link for all parts you added. SO THAT WE ALL CAN PURCHASE. THANKS.
Links for these mods are now in the description - cheers
Really enjoying the content. Love the modz you have done so far. Incredible bike, especially the soundtrack. I admire the cleanliness of the bike too. Have you ever looked into paint protection film or ceramic coating?
Thanks mate. I’ve looked into it but never used it. I just keep the bikes coated in sealants and wax. Seems to do the job.
Thanks for the great video. Just picked up my Interceptor here in Queensland. Have been riding over 50 years, had over 15 new bikes and i love this one. How much would the mods have cost you in total? Just curious. Cheers Ian
Hi Ian congrats on the new bike! Probably spent around £2,500 on these mods (yikes)
Sintered break break pads and new rubber mate.
Hello sir !
Unfortunately this colour is not available in India, so is this colour combination (red & balck) custom made by you or is it available in England only ?
The closest colour combo like this in Indian version of Interceptor 650 is the "Sunset Strip"
Looking forward for your reply
Thank you
What about a wider rear tire around 150?
Smart and beautiful upgrades man. Smart way to enhance such amazing bike. Congrats from Belgium.
Thank you! Yes, I've been looking into different tires for the rear. I might stay with the standard size as I think skinny tires work well. Still researching :)
Regarding tires; I bought a Bridgestone "Spitfire 11F" in 110/90 × 18 for the front; it brings the speedometer/odometer close to reality. For the rear a Pirelli Phantom SportComp in 150/70 R18 which may require a sprocket change; current is a 140/70 "Battlax" BT 45r. Took forever for the stock Pirelli tires to wear out.
Great Video! does anyone know if the YSS front kit used here will also fit a 2021 Continental gt650,,,I can't seem to find an equivalent kit, only for up to 2019??
Did you wrap the tank in a stealth ppf? Bc that looks beautiful! Not a performance up grade but still really nice lol
my interceptor 650 struggles to go beyond 3000 rpm, I don't understand what's the problem. I see many videos for which the rpm goes very smoothly. but for my bike it doesn't. am I the only one facing this issue.. can you please guide. ..?
Hi, quick question. Is it mandatory to replace the cables once installing the Domino Throttle?
How you keep your electricals and other internal parts so clean is a a wonder . Please give some tips....the inner parta of my interceptor looks horrible now.
I'll make a video on this soon. I always keep the bike coated in ACF50 and use various waxes and sealers on the paint and wheels. This way when the bike gets dirty, it's pretty easy to get it clean again. When the engine casing (the painted parts) gets dirty, I just use a gentle degreaser and a brush to clean it up for before the dirt gets burnt in.

Hi there really love what you have done to the bike,
I'd like to ask you what do you think is best for the Royal Enfield Interceptor the scorpion pipes or the S&S pipes,
Love to hear people's opinions on this,
Jason,
Thanks Jason. I can only speak for the Scorpions, but I’m sure others on here will have a view on the S&S pipes. Cheers.
It need a full or partial sport fairing. It lacks a good fairing!
Nice video on the mods, is there a specific handle bar that you've gone for , I mean like a part number or something, thanks.
These are the LSL Superbike bars.
Hey! Can you point out some mods to make it more aesthetically pleasing? Or links to some other website would do as well!
Thanks for the great video. May I ask, is your 650 twin a Euro 4 engine? I looked into the fuel plug loom from Tec bike parts in the northeast, but their website said its not suitable for the Euro 5.
I own the GT, a 2023 Euro 5 model, and am looking to find a solution.
Yes mine is Euro4
That Scorpion Exhaust. Is it anyway going to affect the overall engines performance in regards to fuel efficiency?
I’ve not measured it, but I doubt you’d notice a big change.
Another brill video - cheers. Quick question: is the task of adjusting or checking the valve clearances a particularly tricky one to carry out? Are there any issues to watch out for when performing this? I believe the tank has to come off?
Hi John. I've not actually done it yet. Check out the Dorman Diaries channel for some great videos on this subject.
Uncle Stu (Stuart Fillingham) has done the most comprehensive video I’ve seen on this. 👍
Have you any plans on sealing the wheel rims to convert to tubeless tires?
Maybe one day. I'm ok with the tubes at the moment.
Hey I am looking to buy this as a daily commute as well as doing a bit of touring with my wife. How do you feel hunk it’ll handle touring with a pillion? I currently have a VFR1200F which is a beast but I am just not enjoying it as much as my older RE Bullet I owned about 8 years ago. Sometimes faster is not always better.
This bike is really appealing, just not sure it’ll have enough power for both me and my wife. Not expecting on doing 180km 2 up but I would like to keep up with highway traffic
Can you list down all your mods on the bike? Like brand etc? Thanks you!
Hi,
At 5:53, I see that together with the Domino throttle, you've also replaced the original RE commodo with a Domino commodo.
How did you connect it ?? Domino commodo has 5 wires, RE original commodo has only 4....I looked at the Domino & RE electrical diagrams, but that's very difficult for me to understand these...
Thanks for help.
Roughly, how much have you spent on those mods ?
Please let me know the LSL bar model that you have installed 👍
LSL Superbike Bars. Cheers
hi,, if i get one of these i would like a list of the parts please, as the add ons you have done seem to take the bike to another level,,, if a person buys an re 650 with extras it is still cheaper than a w800 or triumph t100 , i like the look of the t120 but although its a premium bike the re is not that far behind , good video, thanks..
Hi Simon. Most of the mods are listed in the description. This bike (with all the mods) is still less than a T120.
Awesome mods...
Thanks Ravi!
Bro buy protronic ecu for royel enfield 650 it will increase your top speed and accalaration and rpm limit
Excellent video. A few questions, is there any performative advantages of dual pipes vs 2 into 1 or vice versa? Do you know the widest wheel/ tire that will fit the rear swing arm? Same with the front forks? With the upgraded throttle can heated grips be fitted? Cheers.
There's an American dude who swapped the rear for a 180, top fella. Good account, too.
SUSCRIBED! Quick question. When fitting the LSL handlebar... you got to fix some wiring? Or wires were ok as default?
The LSL bars needed me to re-route the throttle lines behind the forks. Everything else was ok. Thanks for the sub!
Have you done a satin black wrap to the tank ?
No that’s just the lens on the camera making it look soft.
Very nice video and I'm wondering what the total cost of all the mods turned out to be.
Around £2.8 / £3k (ish)
Some nice mods you have done. How much have the mods cost you to do?
I try not to think about it haha. Probably around £2.5k in total.
Gosh you changed every part 3 times, this bike most be worth 10K now 😃
No it’s worth £5k with £5k worth of bling stuck to it. Haha.
Love the bike, it looks and sounds amazing. Hope you don't think it rude of me but how much did you spend? and could you give us a breakdown of those costs please. I'm looking to get back on a bike and only have certain budget so if I dont do what you've done it's gonna be a triumph trident for me. Great channel great posts.
@@WildlifeMoto hiya, checkout your reply to @chainbrothers. I tried asking you a question there but me being a bit of techno bimbo I'm not sure if I actually linked it to you 🤦♂️. I was asking for a breakdown of the overall cost for the mods. Cheers
@@estaban3248 Haha, no worries. I probably spent about £3k all in.
do you somehow have a matte finish on your ravishing red tank or is that just a trick of the focus on the camera?
Just the camera :)
I have the same machine I have put a chip ons
