Wow - thanks for all the kind comments folks!! I'm trying to respond to them all but am struggling to keep up!!...apologies if I don't write back to every one but I promise I do read them all!!
Huge props to Chris and Grant. This whole series is a testament to the dangers of working through middle men; higher prices, longer times, mixed up messages, and just general pain. The only thing I would play with to see how it looks is a short tinted flyscreen!
So pleased the Interceptor is back, and exacrly how you wanted it. Absolutely fantastic work from Chris and Grant. I think it looks beautiful, and sounds like a bike should. Shows us all, that there is still honest, good people around.
Yes there are - if only I'd known about them to start with and had worked directly with them - would have been here two years ago! Oh well, the end result I'm very pleased with....gotta ride her now!
I have to admit I wasn't crazy about your plans for this bike at first. Just didn't "do it" for me. But now that it's finally sorted out to your specifications, I'm very impressed with the final result. Awesome looking and sounding bike. Kudos to Chris and Grant for the superb work.
Come to work on a Saturday and boom, this lands in my You Tube viewing feed, doesn't get much better than that. Banging looking bike TMF and combining the retro old bike with new LED's and that back light seamlessly wraps around that seat is a sweet design touch. Very minimalist but effective design. Now back to watching yours and Mr Vidas Euro trips via The Pico's and your Slovenia trips.
Does certainly look better this time round than the first, now to get out and enjoy it 🏍👍 One minor criticism is the seat, the covering doesn’t look to be fitted to well, almost looks to big for the seat and makes the TMF logo look like it’s not straight, and with the TMF on the seat then on the number plate looks a little odd, think it would of been better with the bike image from the TMF logo on the seat.
The chaps have done a marvelous job at making it fit your original idea. Their servicemindedness won't be matched by anyone. They worked fast and really listened to you and what you wanted. Best customer is a happy and satisfied customer - they have one in you now, and you will be riding around like the best ever advert they could ever wish for. All kudos to them! 👏
Glad to see your RE is back and that you are happy with it. Chris and Grant are obviously craftsmen and take great pride in their work. Looking forward to seeing the RE in a vlog in the near future. Ride safe Andy.
The back end looks way better, as it should have looked all along, the whole bike looks fantastic! I think Chris and Grant might be having a few enquires! Happy riding! ( you do sound a lot happier now! 😁)
It looks great, like the finished product, like I had imagined it too, great change to the seat too! And the little mudguard in the back makes it all come together! Enjoy her
Andy, so glad it has been sorted out. It looks a lot better. The chaps deserve the good publicity they will get from this, too. Nice to see people standing by their principles. Enjoy the bike!
I am genuinely thrilled for you Mr Flyer, I hope you have many happy and trouble free miles on your one of a kind Interceptor, also bravo to Chris and the team for prioritising the work on your bike and looking after their reputation and customer. I think we need good news stories like this more than ever these days.
Glad you finally have her back, and she looks fantastic, well done to Chris for rescuing the situation, and with the spring not too far ahead enjoy the ride, Cheers Andy
Great to see you have the bike sorted. Your saga has been very interesting and helpful for anyone considering getting that sort of work done, thanks for posting such an honest and complete account.
happy to have the lovely interceptor back in the garage. the green and gold works perfectly on this bike and the rear end looks much better for sure. looking forward for small roads video on the TMF green bullet
Great to see the Intercepter back and done so quickly by the realy honest professionals. No expense to you . That's realy good to see people go out there way to help. The finished bike looks BRILLIANT .JOB WELL DONE .HAVE FUN AND ENJOY YOUR RIDES OUT.😎😻😺
So good to see to see the bike looking as it should have. Shame it took this long and so much money but Chris is an absolute bloke for putting it right.
The finished bike looks and sounds so cool Andy! Great job by Chris and Grant…top fellas. Passed the MOT without traditional front indicators..that was a result!
I’m happy flyer that you are now happy! The RE saga has made great viewing and should be watched before anyone undertakes such a project. Lessons learned indeed. Enjoy 😊
I'd have the outline of the tmf letters stitched in black or silver..both would work with Brown and suddenly the " orange" colour of the tmf would pop rather than be a bit lost..wheels look amazing and brilliant paint job..good effort!!
Looks great! Love the lights and rear fender. Concerning the TMF on the seat it might be hard to find the right accent color so maybe a complementary color to the seat would work; like chestnut. Black also seems like a good option. Perhaps you can throw an image of the bike in to an editing program and change the color to see how it would look.
Glad the saga is over. Hats off to Chris, what a diamond bloke for going above and beyond to help you out. Really sweet end result, what a lovely looking bike!!
I'm glad you've got it sorted at last. What a saga. Great service from Chris and Grant. They deserve all the positive publicity they are getting out of this sorry affair. Hope you really enjoy the bike now.
Congratulations it’s a very good looking bike. However it isn’t a process I would’ve attempted, and I don’t share your enthusiasm for that seat. Also I’m not keen on the back end, but horses for courses as they say. 👍🏴🇬🇧
Hi Andy, great to see a happy ending here. The back end tail fit and finish is way better than the first effort (or perhaps lack thereof…). I think you’re right the pipes do sound fab. Thanks for posting.
So glad you got it sorted Andy. She looks and sounds great. Be interesting to know how much all that work “should” have cost from scratch to where you are now? 👍
Well £4K was the original quote - I had the same figure from the first custom house I went too as well so I imagine that's near the right figure. Although show me anywhere where you can get a "cheap" custom job - all these types of bikes are expensive if you don't do them yourself...have a look at "The Bike Shed" classifieds for evidence!
Beautiful tasteful ride. I really like your color choices. Kudos to Trident Motor Services for running a shop the way it's supposed to be. We need more people like that. 👍
Morning Mr. Flyer! The front three-quarter view (at around 7:00) is particularly impressive. The embroidered seat stitching looks fine. In the “fashion segment”, the edge of the “F”, which is just in view doesn’t appear to be a vastly different shade to the gold lettering on the side panels (albeit this is on screen rather than in reality). Live with it as is for a while, is my suggestion, and if you still feel the same in a couple of months, change it then.
That's a drop dead gorgeous bike !! I hope it gives you that special feeling inside everytime you see it and ride it because you most certainly deserve it after all the chaos.
Looks much better Andy, What a great pair of guys Chris and Grant are for coming to the rescue. Couldn't help but notice the potholes in places as well mate.
Seat is terrible and it don't follow the line of the frame and looks wonky from the rear, the clocks need to go for more minimal set up, the powder coated rims and hubs look terrible considering there's plenty of companies out there that could of anodized them in a real nice gold , the rear shocks look like Chinese knock offs after being powder coated and if you was going for a scrambler look the swing arm should be longer and it sounds terrible nothing like a twin ... but each to their own and I hope you didn't pay much for the work that's Been done as there's about 2-3 weeks worth of effort to do the work on that bike and if it's owing you 15k you mental 😂👍
She is finally finished, and looks awesome the boys have definitely worked there magic. When i need bits and bobs doing to my bikes that’s going to be my first port of call. Enjoy Andy 👍👍👍
Looking great now, the bits like rear light and turn signals, looks great. This looks like a great recipy for somebody wanting to customize an old bike as well.
The exhausts still look dreadful and no they don’t sound any different to how it did before, when you didn’t like them. The front indicators on the handlebars are quite frankly daft and would be hardly visible to anyone coming head on. The location of the clutch lever in relation to the grip looks out of place (too far away) and the lettering on the rear of the seat is orange not gold. But you know the biggest annoyance with all this is you referring to your viewers as Kids!! I suspect the vast majority are adults and would find this comment as just plain stupid. Secondly what an expensive exercise in chequebook bike modifications, most likely paid by your viewers and what did you actually achieve asides a whole lot of grief and money spent on what is a pretty ordinary bike. It’s yours and i am sure you will enjoy it, good for you, but really ??
@@TheMissendenFlyer Sorry mate if my comments feel negative, but seriously i do think you were taken for a literal ride. Still if your happy now with it, that’s all good, enjoy..
The seat is bad. New upholstery guy needed. Too much black-out that looks like it was done with a can of rattle paint. I like the green paint but the seat and the black parts just make it look cheap. Sorry
Great to see this whole thing has been sorted out. I was very grateful to catch this video with the conclusion by the time I punched into the whole drama a year later. You seem like an absolutely stand up guy so I'm grateful the whole thing worked out as far as the bike goes. I wanted to pop by and drop a word or two on just how attractive a motorcycle you have, regardless the headache. From my vantage point now seeing her in her final form you were spot on with the choices. Glad to see you stayed with the in handle turning signals they are clean and REALLY sharpen that front end up nicely. Rear indicators are AMAZING. Honestly I didn't have the vision for the bike the way you did. But once I've seen them finished you were spot on. As a fellow motorcycle enthusiast I'm happy to have found your channel. New Sub here.
Really made my morning seeing this video. I was so gutted for your bad experience with the original company. What should have been an excellent experience turned into a right hassle. Really impressed with Chris and how he got the bike done, it looks perfect. I can see how you wanted the finished look now, and you got it spot on . Enjoy many miles of smiles on a cracking machine 👍👍😀😀😀😀😀
Stencil plate around TMF and use a permanent marker but watch out for colour blend with original colour. Permanent marker works perfectly with Nylon stiching or cotton for that matter.
Glad it's finally sorted, that back end looks so much better. You've certainly given the Internet something to discuss with this project! Hope you're well, cheers and take care.
Finally!! Now looking absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic to see superb service from a custom shop - well done to Chris and Grant and they had better start recruiting some more staff to handle their order books!!! Now to enter it into a show…
Pleased to see you have had a very satisfactory outcome Andy. Big thumbs up to Chris and his team. Nice to hear of great service in these couldn't give a shit times !
What a gorgeous Royal Enfield. It took a long time to arrive but boy it's worth the wait. I'm sure the team that did the custom job for you will have a number of repeat orders. The quality of the finished bike looks superb . Keep up the great work ~ Loving your channel.
This bike looks much better now. I think adding that rear mudguard made a difference. I need to say I was not big fan how the bike looked at first place but now it's spot on. I think you are right the pipes sound really nice too. Enjoy riding. 👍🏻😎
Yes! What a difference those small changes make to the overall look. Really please you've managed to get it sorted so quickly. Well done to Chris and Grant for turning a shambles into something you can be proud of.
Looks fantastic Mr Flyer,agree about LED indicators. I have LED indicators on my car that are 4 times brighter than normal lights and twice as bright as most LEDs.
Congrats! Glad to see that you finally got the bike back! It really looks the biz now, and I enjoy your enthusiasm! That paint looks fantastic, and the blacked out bits bring it together nicely. Enjoy it and ride safe!
I can't get over how much better the bike looks for its latest tweaks. That rear end with the fender is a huge improvement. So glad you've had a happy ending. Enjoy 🙂
Glad you got it back and it’s all sorted Mr Flyer! Also thanks for the honesty and integrity of posting these videos. You’re a top man, keep up the good work please!
Great to finally see you out and about on the Missenden Flyer 'Scramtracker' it looks great, hats off to Chris for sorting it out in double quick time, the new backend is a huge improvement with the extended mudguard, integrated rear light and mini indicators , the exhaust sounds good although I think the one S&S produce for the Interceptor would suit the bike better , really love the colour and I hope you get years of riding pleasure out of it.
@@TheMissendenFlyer 4.8.1. Presence, condition and operation You must only inspect the one mandatory rear reflector on a solo machine, or 2 on a motorcycle combination. Motorcycles must have one red reflector aligned to the longitudinal centre line and positioned to reflect squarely to the rear. On motorcycle and sidecar, the sidecar must also have a reflector fitted towards the outer side and positioned to reflect squarely to the rear. Rear reflectors are not needed on motorcycles that: * do not have front and rear position lamps fitted * < Yours does. have such lamps permanently disconnected, painted over or masked Reflective tape is not an acceptable substitute for a rear reflector.
I agree with one of the comments about the seat, it just does not look quite right although that could be just the angle of the video. Something to think about down the road but it’s great to see it in your garage. Mick
Really happy for you getting your bike back and how you wanted it. Its a lovely one off now. Main thing for me is the saddle. Yeah the logo colour could be better and maybe a little smaller but the way it 'wearing' it's looking a bit to classical. It needs more filling as the cover is wrinkling and looking from the rear the logo is slanted to one side as the filling is squashed.
The bike looks awesome now it’s finished properly I don’t even mind the stitching colour. I agree about ragging smaller hp bikes around just as much fun if not more. The outtakes prove there’s a lot of work in these videos 🏍💨👍
I hope so! Not that they're short of it from what I can see (their workshop is full of amazing cars and bikes including an E-Type Jag and Jensen Interceptor last time I looked).....

It looks the dogs bollocks. I guess you can forget all the trouble it took to get there & finally enjoy a great job.
Its looks & soundz lovely.... How comfortable are the knobbly tyres....! They look bigger than normal RE tyres
@ThemissendenFlyer - love the handlebars - who makes them?
Finally! A beautiful job. I like the new tail light and turn signals. Enjoy!

The UK sent many of your honest and good people to Australia long ago 😀
That's got to be the most expensive Interceptor in history, and I am really happy to see you've finally got it completed!
That’s what I think
If you exclude the Jensen marque of course.

Have to agree. Chris and Grant are good lads for taking it on but if I was Andy I would still be seething about the cost.

Stencil plate around TMF and use a permanent marker but watch out for colour blend with original colour. Permanent marker works perfectly with Nylon stiching or cotton for that matter.
Glad it's finally sorted, that back end looks so much better. You've certainly given the Internet something to discuss with this project! Hope you're well, cheers and take care.
Cheers Richard!
Finally!! Now looking absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic to see superb service from a custom shop - well done to Chris and Grant and they had better start recruiting some more staff to handle their order books!!! Now to enter it into a show…
Pleased to see you have had a very satisfactory outcome Andy. Big thumbs up to Chris and his team. Nice to hear of great service in these couldn't give a shit times !
What a gorgeous Royal Enfield. It took a long time to arrive but boy it's worth the wait.
I'm sure the team that did the custom job for you will have a number of repeat orders. The quality of the finished bike looks superb .
Keep up the great work ~ Loving your channel.
Thank you Gary - appreciate the kind comments….
Oh man Andy, the interceptor is spot on now! I know the journey to get here was a bit rough, but you now have a bike that you can be proud of!
...and i am!
Good you got it back and happy with the results. It does look better especially the rear end. The guys rescued it well done.
Thank you Marc
This bike looks much better now. I think adding that rear mudguard made a difference. I need to say I was not big fan how the bike looked at first place but now it's spot on. I think you are right the pipes sound really nice too. Enjoy riding. 👍🏻😎
Yes! What a difference those small changes make to the overall look. Really please you've managed to get it sorted so quickly. Well done to Chris and Grant for turning a shambles into something you can be proud of.
Indeed - loving the bike now!
Looks fantastic Mr Flyer,agree about LED indicators.
I have LED indicators on my car that are 4 times brighter than normal lights and twice as bright as most LEDs.
Congrats! Glad to see that you finally got the bike back! It really looks the biz now, and I enjoy your enthusiasm! That paint looks fantastic, and the blacked out bits bring it together nicely. Enjoy it and ride safe!
Thank you - willco!
I can't get over how much better the bike looks for its latest tweaks. That rear end with the fender is a huge improvement. So glad you've had a happy ending. Enjoy 🙂
Thanks Tony!
Glad you got it back and it’s all sorted Mr Flyer! Also thanks for the honesty and integrity of posting these videos. You’re a top man, keep up the good work please!
Thanks very much Lee - will do!
Excellent result - finally!. I have had some custom work done in the past and it ALWAYS takes about 8 times longer than the original times quoted lol.
Great to finally see you out and about on the Missenden Flyer 'Scramtracker' it looks great, hats off to Chris for sorting it out in double quick time, the new backend is a huge improvement with the extended mudguard, integrated rear light and mini indicators , the exhaust sounds good although I think the one S&S produce for the Interceptor would suit the bike better , really love the colour and I hope you get years of riding pleasure out of it.
Looks fantastic, love the green and gold. All it needs now is a rear red reflector to be legal.
I suspect that's only required for night time riding....
@@TheMissendenFlyer 4.8.1. Presence, condition and operation
You must only inspect the one mandatory rear reflector on a solo machine, or 2 on a motorcycle combination.
Motorcycles must have one red reflector aligned to the longitudinal centre line and positioned to reflect squarely to the rear. On motorcycle and sidecar, the sidecar must also have a reflector fitted towards the outer side and positioned to reflect squarely to the rear.
Rear reflectors are not needed on motorcycles that:
* do not have front and rear position lamps fitted * < Yours does.
have such lamps permanently disconnected, painted over or masked
Reflective tape is not an acceptable substitute for a rear reflector.
A great success and a heartwarming story in these days of doom and gloom. I’m sure you will really enjoy this summer.
I agree with one of the comments about the seat, it just does not look quite right although that could be just the angle of the video. Something to think about down the road but it’s great to see it in your garage. Mick
Really happy for you getting your bike back and how you wanted it. Its a lovely one off now. Main thing for me is the saddle. Yeah the logo colour could be better and maybe a little smaller but the way it 'wearing' it's looking a bit to classical. It needs more filling as the cover is wrinkling and looking from the rear the logo is slanted to one side as the filling is squashed.
Yes agreed - needs a bit of attention there but that can wait a week or two - time to enjoy the bike now!
@@TheMissendenFlyer Enjoy. Project bikes are rarely finished in the short term.
Looks so much better Andy, glad you have it back in the garage for you to enjoy.
Me too!
Great news Andy looks a million times better!
I agree mate....will have to get you out on it and get you converted to the way of the retro!
That’s fantastic. Chris and Grant have really delivered. Long may you enjoy riding it.
I intend too!
Really glad to hear that it all worked out in the end. Top marks to Chris and Grant.
Have fun and fly safe.
What a great looking and sounding ride. 👊
Yes I’m well pleased with it….
Everything is in it's right place!
The bike looks awesome now it’s finished properly I don’t even mind the stitching colour. I agree about ragging smaller hp bikes around just as much fun if not more. The outtakes prove there’s a lot of work in these videos 🏍💨👍
Thanks for watching until the end!
Rear end looks amazing! Hopefully this video will bring Chris and Grant loads of work in the future 👍🏻
I hope so! Not that they're short of it from what I can see (their workshop is full of amazing cars and bikes including an E-Type Jag and Jensen Interceptor last time I looked).....
Finished article looks good. A great story to share and amazingly you didn't swear once.
I try to remain polite in the internet if I can - it’s a good rule for life I’ve found! All the best!
Stunning bike! Tastefully done. I like how Freddie Dobbs and you both go over your gear. Good stuff.
Thanks for watching to the end!
That’s much better Andy, good to see you happy with the interceptor and well done to Chris and Grant. 🍻
It looks stunning to say the least, that british racing green with gold is what made me go for the Triumph Bonneville T100 goldline 2022. Well done 🙂👍
Actually BRG is very much darker than this, but that was the kind of effect I wanted and what I was thinking when I started out with this project....
That's far better looking now with the back end how you wanted it. I wish you miles of smiles on her.
