- Hello! I am Bosky,
In this video I share details of the off-road Scrambler modifications that I have done to my Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 motorcycle, to make it suitable for some light duty off-roading.
A couple of weeks back I had posted a couple of videos of me doing some off-roading with my Muddy Hog Scrambler and was asked by some of you to share a detailed video of the mods so, here it is.
Hope you enjoy the video. And, please feel free to comment and ask any questions and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge.
Cheers!

Hi, please comment on the mentioned handle specifications. Is that the same in your bike.
RenthalModel 609-01-BUItem Weight 1.4 pounds
Dimensions 33 x 2.5 x 2.5 inches
It’s a Renthal CR High. That’s what I remember about it.
These are some of the most tasteful and purposeful modifications I have seen on any motorcycle in India. Great job.
Thanks a ton! Means a lot coming from a UA-camStar like you. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore would love to hear your views in a future video on the YSS suspension, the Himalayan front and trail riding. Now that the weight is being carried higher, how well it behaves etc. We do trails on Interceptors around Delhi and what you've done is something we've been wanting to see for a while. Some on board videos would be nice.
Sure, will do. Regards.
@@abhinavbhatt bhai mere, tu toh mereko yahan bhi mil gaya.😂😂 Be safe on that off road trail. Keep grinding
Lots of good ideas.. Another mod might be sticking the interceptor's engine into a Himalayan. Voila! The perfect bike.
When your patience for an adv 650 get's out of hand and you make one by yourself video
Brilliant
Hahaha! Thanks.
This is way underrated!! You sir are a legend
Wow, that's much praise. :-) Thanks.
You're the (not so mad) inventor.. I have a Himalayan and Interceptor and have thought, if only they were one bike. I'm looking at it. Great job!
LOL Thanks. Cheers!
This is great, first time I have seen single seat and luggage rack done well for the 650.... Very practical.
Thank you. Cheers!
One of the best modified scrambler ❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
One of the sensible mods I liked so far! I do agree with your comment about people making their seats as a sofa. Another solution which I recommend and vouch is cycling shorts!
Thank you. The quest for the right seat is a big one and to each his own. Just stuffing more soft foam is not the solution. What is actually missing from the stock seat is the firm foam support. After an hour or so the foam compresses and the rider is sitting on the seat plate. So a counterintuitive thought process is needed here. Instead of adding more foam that can collapse too, one must use a firm constructed foam and that will solve the problem. The RE touring seat does exactly this. It has a layer of 3D foam that does not collapse.
I use Motoskiveez inner shorts when on long rides. It is similar in concept to cycling shorts.
Subtle yet effective mods... Love them 👍
Cheers. Thanks.
Some of the best upgrades done on this bike.👌👌👌
Thanks. Glad you liked them. Cheers!
You've done everything I'd do if I get my hands on one of the 650 twins. Functional mods, simply lovely
Thanks! Cheers!
Well the background music made the video quite delightful 😃
😀 Thanks!
These modifications are exactly what I was looking for
Happy to hear. Cheers!
Best practical mods I've seen so far on an interceptor...
Thank you! Cheers!
Also check sagar sheldekar channel, very sophisticated modification, costly but great
This is the bike I was wanting Royal Enfield to produce. Very informative. Great modifications. Thanks for all your hard work and also for sharing your experience.
Thanks. Cheers!
Even sagar sheldekar sir would Appreciate this build ... Amazing and thoughtful modifications ...
Thanks!
I shifted to gt650 footpegs through royal Enfield service centre . The issues with footpegs touching your shins is gone for good. Bike is super comfortable. No issues. Costs near rs 3000 inc labour. Worthy
Glad that you are enjoying the Interceptor. Cheers!
Sir, all the mods on this bike are absolutely sensible . Just loved it
Thank you. Am glad you like them. Cheers!
This is something i was looking for since long...superb job done! All the best👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Clear and honest review. I love the seat and the luggage rack setup
Thanks! Cheers!
Elegant interceptor with very useful mods..
Specially Ur calm and composed presentation Is more soothing to ears..
Thank you! Glad you liked it. Regards.
This almost looks like a ducati scrambler 😍😍
😀
Absolutely amazing. Loved each mod. Will definitely be doing some of these mods to my INT too.
Thanks! Cheers.
Living room sofa comment had me going LOL superb guru, love the mods you have done, no expense spared YSS, S&S, Powertronic.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Cheers!
Fantastic build.
Thanks! Glad you like it. Cheers!
Hats off you Sir, you have done an amazing duel purpose modification 👍
Glad you like it. Cheers!
Great job! The Himalayan 650 is real, at last!
Thank you. 😄 Glad you like it. Cheers!
One hell of a job..appriciate your ideas and intrest..just wow
Thanks much! Am glad you like it.
Good job with the suspension and ground clearance. The decat exhausts are a jewel in the crown. South Bangalore ingenuity at it's best!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job.. Its a lovely ride..
Thank k you.
very tastefully modified . loved it . a new colour and graphics scheme will look wonderful in your bike.
Thanks a ton and am happy you like it.
What colour would you paint it? Cheers!
the high front fender looks super cool!
Yeah it does! Thanks.
Loved the mods. ❤️
✌
Such purposeful Mods!
It is a fact that modifications done with the right knowledge and understanding bring out unique style characteristics which only true bikers can recognise and appreciate. Thanks for the video!
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Sensible modification done ✅ suspension handlebars tyres and rim for tubeless airfilter powertronics device headlights are awesome offcourse your knowledge if you don't mide I liked the most sensible is footpegs try to change the spark plugs to 360 deg NGK irredium one's 👍👌 all the best for your next ride
Am glad you like it. Will check out those plugs you mentioned. Thanks. Cheers!
Well presented....No bullshit... Enjoyed thoroughly!
Thank you. Cheers!
my bro was chubby in this
happy for u now u look awesome
Thank you!!
Really cool video! Thanks for making and sharing it! Also, excellent to see you modified the touring seat. I use the same seat on my Conti GT and its definitely comfortable and I had the same idea to modify it to a single seat with a luggage rack at the back.
Thanks! Cheers!
Everything you need and more on a Interceptor 650. The only thing missing i feel is a carbon racing wanderer windshield to complete the look and performance. Nice job on the bike, looks great 👌👍
Great point! Glad you liked it. Cheers!
Liked at the first sight of KA 05 :)
Cheers!
Ek number # 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️ as we say in mumbai .. just the old school ways .. much needed
Thanks! Cheers!
I really liked the way you explained things in the video. Love the old school yet simple concept of a 650 scrambler. this goes to show how innovative and passionate you are towards motorcycles. I have always had a soft corner for the himalayan but was really hoping for a 650 version of it and I think you just built a worthy and cool prototype. Kudos to you sir. Subscribed liked and following you on insta.
PS: if you could add details around the products and their prices in the description or in the video. That would be really helpful 👍
Hi! Glad you liked the video. Thanks. And yes a 650 Himalayan will be good but knowing Royal Enfield that motorcycle may not be a light motorcycle. :-)
The Excel front rim cost about 18,000/-, the Outex tubeless kit about 15,000/-, the tyres about 11,000/-, the YSS rear shocks about 50,000/-, the handlebar and hand guards about 18,000/-, the S7S exhaust about 45,000/- and the other odd bits and bobs about 15,000/-.
Is is all worth it? I don't know! But sure was a lot of fun doing all this and am having a good time riding the Muddy Hog.
Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore thanks for taking the time to give a breakdown of everything, appreciate it. 👍 Cheers.
Fantastic, you've earned another subscriber! Some great tips! Thanks from the UK
Thank you much. Cheers!
nice job,you have made this bike into something unique fir tour purposes!
Thanks. Yes now I enjoy touring on this more. Cheers!
Good work. Very interesting. Happy travels
Many thanks and wish you too. Cheers!
Your bike look like 650cc Himayalan Royal Enfield should take design from you for 650cc Himalayan 😂😂😎😎 great to see your modification and hope the modification will not be issue for rules and regulations.
Thanks ✌️. These mods should not get me into any trouble hopefully. Besides I have now switched to the stock exhaust. Cheers!
sensible & very efficient mods, thanks for sharing...yss might be outta budget for many but you nailed it sir...
Thank you! Glad you like it. Cheers!
Worthful modifications. Great job.
Thank you!
Nice mods, like the way you expressed the seat mods being done like living room sofa which takes away the beauty..
The quest for seating comfort is eternal. :-)
And I hope to simplify this quest by sharing a straight swap working solution that I found. Thanks for your appreciation. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore : I have a baker express with a GT touring seat but i still feel some discomfort on my long drives..
And i dont want to go for the large after market seat mods only option i can think of is the air cushion..Can you suggest anything better which you came across.
Hi! You can try the air seat may be? www.treknride.com/sorebuster-medium/pid-122741861
I am not fond of air seats but since you are struggling may be you can check if this helps you. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore Hi, what is the handle bar you are using and whats the cost?
Hi! It’s a Renthal CR High.
What a beauty
🙏🏻
Paper is the best wind cheater, i used to use it in college days
Yes! I have also used it as a chest shield when in college to protect myself from the cold wind. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore current generation never went through this phase😁
Wonderful modifications, RE is planning to launch 650 himalayan, you made way before that. Very useful information.
Thank you! I think RE is planning a 650 scrambler. Cheers!
Awesome summary of a lovely bike that you have built up Bosky... Looking forward for more videos
Glad you liked it! Cheers!
that's more than 2 lakh worth of modifications, would really like to ride a bike like this one as an interceptor owner myself
Yes! I enjoyed riding it.
Beautiful! Great job!!!! keep making videos! Greetings from Colombia!
Namaskara, greetings from India. Thank you very much! Cheers!
I think apart from the exhaust can swap, a lithium battery is a good way to get rid of weight. One down front sprocket is also something to consider if the gearing is more street oriented.
yes!
I am surprised you did not any other 650 adventure bike which may be cheaper than this but respect all your efforts
I have a V-Strom 650 that I use for touring and an Xpulse 200 that I use for tight trail riding. The Muddy Hog is for all that is in between. With this set up, it is good on the highway and pretty decent off-road.
amazing mods.it was amazing to listen to you
Thanks!
I just love the intro music... Subscribed after watching just 2 videos from the channel! Brilliant stuff
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much. Cheers!
Nice work there with i650. 👍👌
Thank you!
Awesome Sir.. really liked it.. that's how an interceptor scrambler should come with ...also I liked the performance modification done like the exhaust, air filter and powertronics..I will go with these on mine..
Hi! Am pleased that you like it. Cheers!
Yesterday I came across your channel n video's Boss. Must say that I appreciate your presentation, sober and up to the point.
I was looking for information about making interceptor a scrambler which can do decent offroad.
Thanks a lot for compiling all the information at one place.
I may get in touch with you again in a years time.
Take care and have fun.
Thanks. Cheers!
Beautiful mod! Absolutely beautiful
Is it equally good for touring and city commute after the mods?
What's your height and what's the seat height now afyer the mods?
Also, have also shifted the foot pegs a bit forward to have a better leg position?
Hi!
Thank you.
After mods the motorcycle is easier in city traffic due to wider bars and upright seating.
I am 5'9". Have not measured the seat height and I think it is now about 30mm more than stock height.
Foot pegs are in stock position, no change.
Cheers!
Understood. Thanks so much for the reply 😊
Sirji, that BGM is REGAL!!!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Glad you like it. Cheers!
Watching from bhutan, nice modification 👍
Thanks!
Brilliant piece of work. Thank you for sharing all the details. Explained so well. Really helps in the visualization and final execution. Best of luck 👍
Thanks! Cheers!
Love what you have done it looks good and a good balance between road and Adventure I myself have the Royal enfield interceptor 650 burnt orange hello from Western Australia and I myself would like that type of set up and you have given some very good Ideas thank you
Hi! Happy to hear you liked what you've seen. And once you mod your Inty, please share an image of the same if possible. Cheers!
Superb video!! Enjoyed it thoroughly!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks & cheers!
Very clean modifications... excellent
Thank you! Regards.
Excellent video sir. 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
One word , overwhelming

lovely mods...I have done a lot of suspension upgrade to my Street Twin, but haven't really given a Scrambler mod...this is interesting stuff.
Thanks! Cheers!
Great .
Enjoy
Keep riding
Cheers!
Thank you so much for your video!! It's great to see people as passionate as you, your work is amazing ! I'd like to begin transforming my bike as well but first I'd like to know how high your saddle is? Thanks again, I've been waiting for a video like this for years
Glad you like it, thank you. I have not measured the seat height and I think it is about 20mm more than stock height and now is about 825mm. Cheers!
Very nice.looking good.superb
Thank you! Cheers!
Really interesting build.
🙏👍
And right there is the prototype for Royal Enfield's 650 twin Himalayan! :D
😝 Thanks!
Royal enfiled must have seen this video and now planning re himalayan 450 and 650
😀
thumba chanagi mods madidira soooopeerrru
🙏🏻
Amazing modification sir! Purpose built 🔥
Thank you! Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore sir how do you come up with these creative name's.
@@bigbearbangalore and what's the origin of Bosky. Always wanted to ask
Nicknames have funny and unusual origins. 😊 And some start with a nick name based on some mannerisms and habits and then name evolves and changes and finally sticks at the final version! 😊
Looking at the KA plate is nostalgia. Love from Melbourne ❤️ #kannadiga
Cheers!
RE- "hope you are seeing this"
A 650 scrambler will be a perfect addition to the lineup and will likely be received well by the market. Cheers!
Excellent work sir... That's the beauty of interceptor which enables u to customize as per ur needs and it looks stunning. Grt modifications seen so far. Sir even I would like to do the same modifications and need ur help for this😊.
Thank you! Feel free to ask anytime any info on the Muddy Hog mods. Cheers!
Super and simple big brother 🖐️
Thanks!
How has the bike and the mods aged? Did you travel on this setup? What would you do different now if you had to do it all again? Eagerly awaiting your reply or and update on this beauty.
Hi! The mods are continuing to deliver joy and satisfaction to the new owner.
And I have traveled more than 15,000 kms mostly on long trips with the mods before the sale.
I sold the Muddy Hog since I wanted to cut down my motorcycles. I just had too many so unfortunately this had to go.
If I was to do this all over what would I have done differently? Hmmmmmm. Not sure cos these mods were thought out in depth and experimented with prototypes before arriving at this final iteration.
And I’ll think about it more and share my thoughts.
Cheers!
Brilliant bike. I really like your ideas
Thank you! Cheers!
Great, Great Great.
Thanks! 😊
Excellent video. I loved the new exhaust sound. Your methodical packing of useful items is probably the best of all the modifications you have showed. The pannier like bags you showed- which is better in terms of drag/vehicle stability- -rear rack loaded bag or panniers for long rides?
Thanks, glad you enjoyed watching.
Panniers sit lower hence better for CG but are a bit draggy at high speeds while a softbag tied down on the rear seat (not on the tail rack), is less draggy but the load sits higher up. Of course if with a pillion then panniers is the best way to go.
The terrain also dictates the type of luggage. Softbags if predominantly riding on bad bumpy roads and hard bags if predominantly riding on smooth highways, is a policy that I follow. Cheers!
Hi... I like to now, how tall are you?
because the bike is now taller ...... and
how much did I change the suspension travel?
Thanks and good job.
Hi! I am 5'9" and I think the motorcycle is about 50mm taller and, when I sit on it I can still flat foot both feet. But now you have raised my curiosity about the current seat height, I'll get back with the measurement soon. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore thanks!!! And good information.
Loved your mods, is there an option to make the exhaust single sided, like a triumph scrambler .. that would make this sweet
Thanks. And yes, the single side exhaust would have stepped up the design standards by a few notches. Thanks.
Great job Sir, very inspiring
Thanks!
Its very nice indeed !!
Indeed it is!
I am trying to get my interceptor under 200 kg. So far i have changed the stock exhausts to red rooster. And took off the center stand, rear grab rails, tool kit, leg guard and mudguard extendors(for look mainly). Not sure how much kgs i have lost but it does feel a bit lighter during parking. I dont take it off roading, just want to make it as light as possible.
Well done
Superb
Thanks
nice, but was wondering how will you handle the cops
Good question! I have no answer now.
Hey... Isn't that the whole point of an exhaust wrap? To prevent exhaust gases becoming a tab bit cold creating a little bit of back pressure? 🙃 But you're right. It will ruin your exhaust over the long run. It can even break the pipe due to excess heat buildup.
Well I don’t know about cold exhaust due to wrap and related back pressure. May be. Since this is not a super high performance engine the exhaust temperature not likely to affect back pressure and performance. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore that's the theory. In theory, it is a performance mod although it's more of an aesthetic mod these days. I doubt if what's being sold in our local market is actually "titanium" wraps. There is apparantly a sillicon spray that can be used to coat the exhausts instead of using a wrap. But all that being said, none of these are sensitive high performance (two stroke) motorcycles to feel the difference it will offer. The cons outweigh the (theoretical, almost non existent) pros.
I love it....nice bike.
Thank you!
You can reduce a little more weight by changing the battery to the Shido. Those are like feathers.
Yes!
