- I can't believe how long it's been since the last Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Project video! Time has flown by and whilst I've been busy with other stuff on the channel I have neglected it a bit. I have been waiting on parts and trying to put money aside, but still, it's been a long time!
In this video, I thought I'd bring you up to speed with the Interceptor 650 project and start thinking about what's next and where to go with it.
Here's a list and links to the parts I've used;

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 😉👍.
Cheers
You are absolutely correct the right things have been modded
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
Looks very good, Tony.
Looks great. And much more reasonably priced than some other efforts.
Good work.
Ride safe 👍
Thanks 👍
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.
@@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
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
Great to see you and the bike Tony, glad you’re well and the additions are looking great. Keep tinkering 👍🏻
Cheers
Like it love the seat and rack also the exhaust looks and sounds great 👍
Thanks 👍
Awesome job on the whole back end of the bike --- the rack, seat, exposed frame, tire, fender, and light. I really like it. Glad you didn't just toss on a "tail tidy" and call it a day.
Thank you
Loving the look of the Baker Express as you have Tony👌 Sad to see it go though 🫡
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. 😊
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.
I have that very same bike. Love it.
Yeah I really like it nice job Tony
Cheers John
I'm actually painting my tank on my Interceptor next week and looking forward to it, I couldn't find anyone locally, at least for a good price.
Cool, it’s something I’d considered. Let me know how you get on
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 ✌️
Ha! It’s the law 😂
I wonder if he can make the short seat and rack fit my Bonnieville? The bikes are so similar
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
What size front tyre are you running on the front?
Looking good!
It's a 110/80-18
Love your machined spindles…..what, where?
They are made by Fastec Racing www.fastec-racing.co.uk/
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
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.
Very nice but you left us hanging with that tease about the bike you want to replace the RE with😵💫
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
Hello. Please, tell what size is rear tyre?
150/70-17
@@mancavemotooh, so it put in without any changes? Does the width fit?
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 👍
Love the bike, interested if you sell it
Cheers, you can message me on insta or facebook
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.
Must be getting near the cost of TMF's Interceptor.
