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
@@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.
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.
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
I really don't know what's stopping re from using this engine on the scram... I would be the first to pick it up in that form.... Cause I am vertically challenged😆... So your mods are great for taller guys😊
This engine is way too heavy and is not best suited for a scrambler type motorcycle. By increasing the height by about 30mm I can feel the change in the cg and the bike is a little more too heavy now.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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 👌👍
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.
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..
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!
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.
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!
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
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
I have the Himalayan, totally love it! I love the interceptor too, and I'd buy it any day if it were only a little bit taller, I'm 6'4". Since, they're never going to make a Himalayan 650 or a scrambler style 650, I'm saving up for a truimph, though I feel like I'd have a learning curve, because those bikes are intimidating just from the specifications! I seriously wish they make a taller scrambler style bike like yours, instead of the cruiser.
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 👍
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!
Hello sir. The mods you’ve done on you’re bike is very tasteful. What impressed me the most is the clean look of the bike after the front forks of the Himalayan was put. I have a classic 500 with the same front suspension set up as you run now and it is no where as neat as you’re bike. My personal favourite is the paint stripe which really gives it a Bonnie feel. Could you please tell me from where you got that brushed flat tracker like handlebar from. Did you have to use a cable extender for the brake hose and acceleration cable for it to reach the handlebar because of the long travel suspension and the wider width of the handlebar along with a 1 inch handlebar risers too. Thanks in advance
Hi! Glad you like the mods. The handlebar was imported. Its a Renthal 7/8 CR High. And yes I installed a longer brake hose and the cables are stock but did some rerouting. 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.
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!
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!
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.
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😊.
Need more info about the front suspension setup. Does the headlight and wirings get soaked in water due to the cut in the headlight dome? Where can I order the excel rim from?
Hi! The front externals are the same and the spring and piston are from the Himalayan. The headlight wiring does get some water on it but have insulated some of the joints with tape. So far holding up good. Excel rims you can try at Motousher.com but am not sure of the the 19” rims available will match the Interceptor. It took much search and research before I found a matching rim by chance. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore I'll try the same Himalayan piston and springs with a 19 inch front. If I can't get excel rim then the hero impulse front rim will also be a good choice. I will be partially chopping the headlight dome so that it makes a hole where the lockset lies maybe then the water resistance will be better!
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! 😊
Thanks. Glad you like it. A fatter tyre tyre I did consider but because it can make the handling sluggish I decided to stick with the stock size. Cheers!

Super and simple big brother 🖐️
Thanks!
nice, but was wondering how will you handle the cops
Good question! I have no answer now.
I’d like to do something similar but I want to keep the stock height but add the 19” front wheel. Would that ruin the way it handles? Any changes?
With the 19" front height increase just marginally and handling is slightly sluggish in comparison to 18" but well within control.
Great looking bike ,is it possible to fit fatter tyre to the rear, apart from that its almost perfect ,
Thanks. Glad you like it. A fatter tyre tyre I did consider but because it can make the handling sluggish I decided to stick with the stock size. Cheers!
Loved the mods. ❤️
