    Your bike, you bought it, you do wot you want with it! If someone don’t like it Tough!
    Some people seem to forget wot Royal Enfield put out on the launch of the Interceptor! I Remind You!
    MAKE IT YOUR OWN!!

    Loved the side panel mod. Can’t wait to see the final version. I modified my Interceptor (obv essential mods only). Mod haters are mostly jealous types. 99% of owners will change something. The stock bike is ripe for improvements. I’m now onto a 790. 👍🏼

    I am a RE owner and I loved the Ep1 of this series. Don't worry about the comments, RE bikes are built like a blank canvas and they are made to be modified. Keep up the good work.

    The interceptor was built to be a basis for modification, I bought mine to see what all the hype was about and after a year and 3000 miles covered I sold it. It was my second bike and I absolutely loved my time with it. Might buy a Conti GT in future. Good bikes.

  • @DEeMONsworld
    @DEeMONsworld 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like your philosophy on this bike. I have its twin brother, had it for two years now, all I did was install a Two into one decatted exhaust (TEC), aftermarket air filter and custom snorkel, and I did one other controversial thing. I dropped the countershaft sprocket one tooth. Now the bike is an ideal two lane road tracker. 0-100(where all the fun is on a bike like this) screamer. top speed is virtually the same, but I rarely take it over 140 anyway. It's kind of like n Austin Healy sprite, sounds fast (but isn't), fun to shift, ride it wide open without going too fast. A real hoot on secondary roads,

  • @skeptic3332
    @skeptic3332 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cool look. Air does flow all around the side cover. Good way to suck in water and dust.

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Of course, as does water and dust, this mod isn’t going to make that much difference to that, it’s more about aesthetics.

  • @stevesteve1965
    @stevesteve1965 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really enjoyed that. What frustrates me with these critics is they have completely missed the whole point of Triumph (Bonneville range) and Enfields (650 range) is that they have decided to make a basic package to present to the buying public in various different engine and trim levels/styles. So if you just want a basic bike at that price 'We can provide that for you sir/madam' however knowing what some sections of the motorcycle community are like they can provide a bike that is a starting point for you to upgrade /modify at your leisure. That's the whole point of the range of bikes! It's for you to fiddle with and it's OK if you don't want to. Really looking forward to this build series 👍

    S&S exhaust pipes on mine . Will change air filter soon . Not sure what after that . I just like the sound of the exhaust . I'll be adding a pannier frame and rack . Along with tires that work better on gravel unpacked roads .

    I have done similar to my 2020 Glitter & Dust Interceptor , started with DNA filter then a Booster Plug and S&S slip on pipes (a bit more BARK ) as for the side covers I bought the aluminium ones from Baak (A French Co) and polished them up to a nice finish , like you I backed them with a fine mesh which I painted red to match the tank badge , I'll be interested to see how much further you go . Ride safe and keep the rubber side down !

    WOW Man! That sidecover was brutally destroyed. I can just imagine some guy in the USA losing his mind over that.
    Many years ago I put chopper handlebars on my Honda MT50, and changed the front fork for a much longer one. The bike looked rediculous it was mine.

  • @calknight1666

    These are such great bikes to modify to your own style. My Interceptor has flat bars with risers, 2 in to 1 exhaust (massive weight saving), DnA filter, single touring seat and Conti GT rear sets (I recommend that one)

  • @brianperry
    @brianperry 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I believe that any 'mod' that lets the engine breath easier is a good idea.( I swopped out the original air filter on my Street triple, Plus a new slip on exhaust)... this let the lungs of the engine work more efficiently and gave a smoother throttle response. Items like bars, levers, seat etc! are the comfort zone. Tyres and better quality suspension improve the ride not to mention the handling.... You're right, its your Bike, your money so personalising it to your requirements is your decision... personally I would turn it into a 60s Cafe Racer, Or would if I still had a 1960s body to contort myself into the proper riding position...Its a personal choice so go for it!! Will follow with interest future videos on the project..

  • @hossp2365

    Tony, a great video - thanks. Can I ask you…. When you said nowhere near the chain - would you be kind enough to throw a ruler in there and a have a quick measure please? Not worried about the chain guard, but would love to know the distance from the tyre to the chain. Thanks very much.

  • @gt650johnn
    @gt650johnn 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This bikes are begging to be modded once you take them from the dealership! Great job with the side panels. I went with new ones on leather, but I might just go back to the stock ones and do something similar. I have fitted the DNA filter and new pipes on mine aswell. The brakes and suspension on this bike really benefits from the weight loss. Check Hitchcock's offerings on parts to get the best of this bike, loving this series!

  • @mattmoto650
    @mattmoto650 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Niccccce! Loving the panels you made. I've got multiple plans for my 650. So far I've changed exhausts from Tec and recently the standard rear light cluster for the Baak set, but for just putting the new light closer on it has more than doubled my insurance!! So I might need to spread these mods out. Keep them coming 🙌

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cheers. Ive got a number plate holder coming which has mounts for indicators. I'm probably going to run with 3 way rears, so there'll be no central rear light.

  • @bill_4359
    @bill_4359 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice, looks good. I like them. I installed Moton Custom slotted side panels on my 2017 Triumph Bonneville Street Cup. They look more aggressive, and it gets rid of the Steet Cup logo for a more custom look.

  • @basedury
    @basedury 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    @karlsquire8148 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Love the vid, great job, I'm the same as you I'm just looking to make my 650 run as efficient at possible, not really increase HP. Have you considered Iridium spark plugs, bigger spark insures a better burn of the full air in the combustion chamber. I changed my plugs to Iridium, could be in my head but the bike does seem to run smoother.

    • @mancavemoto

    New bike,cheap asking to be modded.I done a heap of them.I
    Often thought about drilling the side panels cause they better than any aftermarket one's & some of their holes & mesh are just glue over top of stock don't suck air or face the wrong way.

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep, its easy to throw loads of money at the bike in parts, but theres a few simple mods you can make without needeing too. At the moment, mine are one off side panels!

  • @LessAiredvanU
    @LessAiredvanU 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Will you be adding a deflector in front of the side panel, so you won't be sucking in air heated by the cylinder while riding. I have seen that suggested on other vids dealing with cutting breathing intakes in the side panels.

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I won't Mark no, to be honest I dont think the holes will make that much actual difference other than aesthetics

  • @johnk7814
    @johnk7814 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thats a good idea with the side panel, but I think I'll go with slots from the front half of the panel where the filter is like I've seen on some bonneville's. Sure that will be harder but I think it would look good. I already have the filter and booster plug and a whole lot of mods 😎Cheers

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One of the things I love about these 650's is you can make them your own lots of after market parts to make it cosmetically your own and lots of performance parts if you want a wheelie machine, Purists are like a blank canvas, pretty boring people. Go for it.

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep, I did of course replicate it on both sides. (as you can see on the thumbnail) The gloss lower actually blends nicely with the frame, so i'm happy with the result. The Verex looks great, but I'm going with something smaller ;)

    Great installation. Don't you need to oil it with hydrophobic oil though? That's what the instructions with my one said. It would be interesting to see how much more it weighs than the original. As for no expected performance increases and being entirely hidden, i'd say that was 85 quid (plus the oil?) well spent! At least you fitted your one. I wait with interest to see what rim and tyre you fit and how it all works with the swing arm, frame and chain. Good luck, old bean!

      It comes pre-oiled, so It can go straight in. I have a service kit too, so i'll cover that off later in the series

    More air brilliant, engine needs to breath.
    Curious how much weight you have removed.

    Does the ECU need reprogramming after the air filter change or is it just plug and go? Great video by the way.

      Just plug and go, no re-map needed

    I would think there would be a lot of interest in a tubed to tubeless wheel conversion.

      @@mancavemoto Brilliant, that will be interesting. I was lazy and got my CB1100 wheels done in Italy by Bartfactory but live in Ireland so there were no duties re Brexit. Outex must be the most common for doing it yourself. Good luck. While you are at it you might as well try out some cheapo tyre pressure monitors.

    Nice neat job. Looks good aesthetically. Glad it’s not for performance reasons as it would make more sense to buy a Fireblade! An interceptor is a joy and not really for tuning, as opposed to refinement.
