Fitted the black bars with Motone risers yesterday. The setup is now perfect! One thing though - newer ones are not hollow at the ends and come with threads at the ends (similar to the isolator like what you saw on the Interceptor bars). The threads are larger than the Interceptor's, so the stock bar end weights don't fit.
Hi Srinivas, thanks for sharing your modifications. On my int650 (your same model) I just added risers +4cm, from Zana motorcycle, in order to have a more vertical position during riding. Bye
Thank you for watching the video! :) I would most probably be going for the motone up and over risers for Interceptor 650. Those look really premium, plus I'm saving up for it too as they are quite expensive.
Santa might not be real and god might not make all your wishes come true but Srinivas bhaiya. I remember yesterday or day before I'd asked him in comments obviously to make make a review about the handlebars and here I come open youtube and there I saw a video named My custom handle bar setup - Interceptor 650 by Srinivas Ganesh. 😀
Hey! There’s a card on the right corner, when the lever section plays. Check out the timestamps in the description. That will lead you to the installation video of these levers.
great narration and filming !! 👍 are bar end mirrors really work as intended or just for looks purspose as they comes at very steep price compare to regular ones . i like those levers really looks premium & functional !!!
Thank you for watching the video! :) They add style factor to it. Just a different way of mounting mirrors. However, my reason for changing them was, because I am tall, I often see my own shoulders and they sort of hindered the view behind. But, yes nothing more in terms of functionality. The bar end mirrors from Royal Enfield do come at a steep price, but so does the touring version of the mirrors.
Hi Srinivas, thanks for sharing your mods with good detail. Quick correction on handlebar diameter - should be 7/8" and not 0.8". Have you considered swapping the BS3-type switches for new rotary ones? Or any reasons that dissuade you from doing that?
Thank you for the information. ✌🏽 No I have not tried to add rotary switches for two reasons 1) It requires splicing cables to be able to install those, which is a no no for me, all my mods are bolt on fit. Even the turn signals that I have installed. (watch that video for more info) 2) Rotary switches in my opinion are not ergonomically built. BS3 type switches are much more comfortable and practical to use.
@@SrinivasGanesh My thoughts as well. The pass switch placement on regular switch cubes + possibility of adding headlight off switch outweigh the aesthetics of the rotaries. On splicing cables - you can swap connectors from older to compatible holders. But that's besides the point.
I have installed Powerage short ones. There is a detailed video on its installation and a flyby video. Do check it out.! Thank you for watching this video.
If you are considering buying quadlock for 13.5k(Mount) + 4.5K (Dampener) + case, you should consider cheaper mount and a cheaper phone for the same price or even less price and save your good costlier phone form harsh hot weather of india. and also it is good for your battery life in long run. just saying...
Or make friends abroad who visit India from time to time and get you Quadlock mount with vibration dampener in under INR 6k, because you want quality stuff which will last a long time and not buy cheap stuff and replace it ever 6 months. 🙏🏽
Thanks for another informative and well narrated video, although I could do without the collision with the van....😅.I noticed the braided brake line. Does that change the feel when braking?
Thank you for watching the video. :) That braided brake line comes as standard. The feel of the brake is good and has a good bite to it. You do get to feel that behind the handlebars. :) Lol. At that moment of impact I surely thought I lost a let. But thankfully the speed was low and learned from my mistake. And now I use it as a funny meme. 🤣
Defiantly like going with the all black look up front, and the you lost some weight getting rid of that stock bar looks good Srinivas👍 Quad lock is a wise choice I've had no issues with my phone with it.
Well, it's an air cooled engine, sadly that is just the way the heat dissipates. I guess I was used to it given the fact that I used to Ride a Harley Fat boy before this, so I'm used to it. But I ride with good riding gear, so I barely feel anything, unless I am standing under the midday sun, and that too stuck in a traffic jam, then surely I would melt. Or anyone for that matter. But yes, I'll do some research and make one video for sure.
Is there any vibrations on the mirror? My interceptor has been vibrating a lot recently especially the handle bar and the foot pegs. Is the handlebar worth it at the end? Please let me know
Hey Srinivas, somebody online said he needed to change the left side controls to accommodate the Himalayan bars. Did you have any issues fitting the INT650 controls to the Himalayan bars? Thanks!
Hi Srinivasa, please share 1 inch handle bar riser link. Planning to do same set up using Himalayan bar. As you mentioned I too want to avoid aggressive stance..
Haven’t heard anyone talk about a handlebar vibration dampener. If you could research about it and let me know that would be great. I’ll make a video/ short on it.
Not yet, but they are quite sturdy. As in even on the speeds of 90, 100. They are very stable and sturdy. Plus I generally avoid riding in crowded places as a rule of thumb. Thank you for watching!
Hello bro i own a gt 650 and now I'm little bit frustrated with it's riding position, then i came to know about fork extenders from a video made by cooperB motorcycles UK. That same thing is also available in india by a brand called lluvia. Is it ok and safe to go for those fork extenders. Please guide me bro. Thank you
that is true. the foot peg placement is awkward and is a big issue and shorter people do not like it one bit, it constantly gets in the way. But for taller people it doesn't come in the way that much. But yes, I'm looking for something sleeker and minimal.@@MrAmoLLL
haha I want to, but everything will probably make it look a little shabby. And I don't want to sand it. Will definitely figure out what I can do with those. Thank you for watching the video!

Ah! Got it.
Really appreciate your videos mate.
I've taken your advice and added the Himalayan black handlebars to my Int 650. Just perfect!
Thank you so much for watching the video! I'm so glad that it helped!
@@SrinivasGaneshany mods required to install the Himalayan 450 black handlebars on Int650?
@@dr.saptarshichakraborty2212 none. It is a bolt on fit.
Loved the black handlebar. Ordered it, getting it installed tomorrow!
Oh that is great! Congratulations on your purchase! thank you for watching the video!
P.s. Installing it yourself is an amazing feeling! :P
Which handlebar risers would be perfect on the stock handlebar for a 5.7ft rider?
Any more than 1 inch risers, then you would probably need longer cables.
But any 1 inch riser would do the job.
Hi can I get middle rod for interceptor handle let me know where to purchase not available in showroom
You can’t. That comes with the handlebar. And is not sold separately.
Ok thanks some how could get clamps but centre rod I think I need to manufacture
you might have to manufacture them yourself. :( As those components are not sold separately. @@HimanshuPatil-n3b
