Tasteful upgrades, bike looks great.👍 But you do know it never ends 😀
Very true!
Thanks for showing the process, it's very useful !! Awesome bike you have here by the way ...good rides!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I don't have a Royal Enfield but have a Mr Clean fuel tank in my mancave as garage art. $293 delivered to California.
Good taste!!
I like your little buddy helping you out.
Thanks!! That's "Boo" She rules the roost!!!
Very helpful, picking my bike up this week and will bevordering the chrome tank very soon...thanks again...
Thanks for watching and being a part of our Channel, You'll love your RE!!
Beautiful mods. Great job. Full fairing at the front looks fantastic.
Thanks for watching 👍 Glad you like the mods!!
Wow completely transforms the bike
Looks stunning and sounds awesome
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
Oh wow that machine looks beastly with the faring. Job well done for a reward much deserved! We need more such modification tutorials in the future if it is possible
Thank you very much we will try!!
I've bought a vandalized Interceptor. I'm swapping my tank this week, from a smashed in white and red to the chrome version. Thanks for this video 👍
You're welcome!! Good choice!
Just found your video. A note on eBay sellers; I have ordered many parts from Royal Rider and everything was great! I did order a "Mr. Clean" solo tail cowl from another seller and it is one step up from junk. Arrived crooked and scratched and coated in dust, smelling like spray paint. After "adjusting" the shape to match the seat, it ended up with a crack and chipping the chrome.
That sucks, I hope the seller or E-bay made it right and refunded you or replaced it with a decent one. Feel free to list the seller of the bad seat cowl here to help other riders!! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for your tank swap video. It helped me a lot and gave me the confidence to do a similar tank replacement to a 2021 Interceptor Mark III (from a Black Tank to a Glitter and Dust Tank).
As I hadn't taken photos before uninstalling the fuel pump unit, I just had to look at your video to remember the exact position it had to be screwed in on the new tank.
Also, the way you placed the smaller diameter rubber gasket of the fuel pump first on the tank instead of placing it on the fuel pump unit like the Service Manual shows, saved me a lot of aggravation.
Thanks for the comments and being a part of our channel, glad I could save you some aggravation and time!!
Keep the rubber side down!
Just Discovered your channel,great video dude! I’ve subscribed 👍🏻😎
Awesome, thank you! And thanks for Subscribing, we really appreciate it!!
very helpful. thanks for the walkthrough!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!
@@losttogether4everSo helpful I went out and swapped mine in one shot without any hang ups 🤙
Looks great. I love the chrome tank. They charge a premium for it new, but this route is cheaper and you have an extra tank.
Exactly my thoughts when I bought my GT, I really wanted the black wheels, Mr Clean only came with silver wheels in 2021 in Canada.
Looks fantastic, they best colour, like a new bike for £500👍🏍🙂🇬🇧
Totally agree!! Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks so much! I'd been having fuel range issues on my GT650 since I got it. I assumed the fuel gauge was just inaccurate but it turns out it was the float. After comparing a screenshot of yours and mine I determined that the wire portion needed to be bent a bit. I need to run thru the full tank to be sure it's good but already it seems better.
Awesome!! Glad it helped, thanks for watching.
Really interesting, I've had the tank off three times now for the valve clearance service and find that the tank removal is the worst most fiddly part of the whole job. The thought of snapping or breaking something under there fills me with dread ....this video makes the job a little less daunting, cheers 👍.
Thanks, Glad it could help, Merry Christmas
Same for me in australia, ive bough crank,cog,bootguards,injector,chainssprocket covers,rh side eng case,preimium red stich seat,and a whole bunch of other enfield goodies on ebay,all of them were oem stock 75% in oem boxing,other 25% oem boxes just with re stuff painted out/or tapped over for transit reasons
I have even us3d same ebay seller for few item you mentioned👍
Very True, Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. I've bought a spare tank for my Interceptor. I've got a chrome tank on at the moment, but completely gratuitously I thought that I'd get a metallic racing green one for periodic changes. I'm about to get it sprayed up.
One thing, I was expecting you to put some fuel in the tank to check for leaks before refitting it. I think that's what I'll be doing.
Thanks for the comment, I was thinking about doing that but thought I'd check for leaks after it was plumbed into the engine and I had power to the fuel pump. Either way would work fine, if I had encountered leaks after installation it would have been simple to remove. I'm happy to report no leaks or issues at all!!
🇩🇴🇩🇴greetings from Dominican Republic excellent program I have a new Royal enfield interceptor 650 mark2
Thanks for watching and Subscribing!! We really appreciate it. More videos to come! We're hoping to make 1000 Subscribers by Summer with your help!!
For ridiculously cheap eBay will sell you a pair of pliers to make disconnecting the fuel line much easier. Well worth ordering one I think. Best regards and thanks for the video.
Good tip! I'll check it out.
I used a thin smear of silastic to hold the fuel pump O-rings in place some hours before I reinstalled it.
Good Idea is silastic a silcone? I'm not familiar with it.
@@losttogether4ever Silastic is a trade name for the silicone produced by Dow Corning. I just apply silastic to the fuel pump side of the O-rings only, so that future disassembly will not be a problem.
Excellent Job ! Do you have a video remplacament cush rubbers in the gt?
Sorry not yet, I haven't had to replace mine yet.
Excellent Job ; thanks for the brilliant Video. The bike looks perfect afterwards, a real eyecatcher. Where did you buy these nice little leather bags fitting to the sidecover places?
Thanks for watching, those bags are the Raw and Rugged side bags, we installed those as well as a Raw and Rugged seat cover. The video is here--th-cam.com/video/H5dLulB9As4/w-d-xo.html Enjoy!!
I was just wondering what the fairing looked like in black!
Done....!
Thanks.
If i decide to swap my tank i'll probably buy another pump to Switch faster between colours.
Nice job nevertheless.
Thanks for watching!
@@losttogether4ever thank you providing Nice quality vidéos.
Very good job! Thank you for sharing. Waching you from Spain.
I will replace my fuel tank thanks to your video.
Could you let me know witch saddlebag are those? I'm searching here but I can't find them.
Thanks for watching, those are the Raw and Rugged bags from India, see our video here-- th-cam.com/video/H5dLulB9As4/w-d-xo.html
I've been enjoying your videos and working my way through many of the same mods. I started with an Interceptor and swapped into an Ice Queen tank and the same seat and cowl in white earlier this summer. Do you think the wrap method would be able to match Ice Queen white on a cowl well enough to do that instead of paint? Thanks!
It depends on your local wrap guy, they probably have some different shades of white. I'd take the bike to the shop and just see if they can come close in whatever vinyl they have in stock. Alternativly stop into a wrap place and ask them for some samples you can try and match up at home.
Really great job, transformation for very cheap you made it look really easy! I really fancy one of these, out of interest what model/ brand is that 2 into one exhaust you have fitted to your Conti we have something very similar in the UK made by a company called TEC and marketed as a "Stinger 2 into 1", sounds sweet!
Good eye!! That is a UK made TEC bike Stinger 2 into 1. Thanks for watching and being a part of our channel.
I have been admiring the white tank in previous videos and here you go and change it to a Mr Clean which is my bike. I have been curious about the exhaust. Have you done a video on that? If so, I can't find it.
Don
Yes the exhaust is TEC bike parts 2-1 Stinger, the video is here --th-cam.com/video/cUODVOtf7JA/w-d-xo.html Thanks again for watching and subscribing!!
You are crazy man 😱
Thanks for watching!
Black and chrome looks Better. 😊
I agree!! I still love walking into the garage and seeing it!
@@losttogether4ever try a 14 tooth front sprocket 😁
It's really amazing bike. I am mad after gt 650 and one day I'm gonna buy it. Where did you get that headlight fairing from??
Hello, Thanks for watching, the fairing is a C-Racer fairing it is available here--c-racer.com/store/bolt-on-parts/royal-enfield-cafe-racer/headlight-mask-cafe-racer.html
do you think this job can be done without a torque wrench? does the tightening of all the screws and bolts need to be very precise? should i just make them very tight when i do the re-install?
Yes you can do it without a torque wrench, just snug everything up without over tightening. The only area might be the tank seals for the sending unit and the fuel pump, they have pretty robust seals if it leaks then snug it a bit more.
hey mate, what do you end up doing with the ice queen tank? are you able to sell it used privately to recoup some of your money from buying the mr clean tank? thanks!
Hey, Thanks for watching and commenting, the tank is in the box that the Mr Clean tank came in on a shelf in the garage. There aren't many Enfield riders here so I haven't bothered to try and sell it. One day I might resurect the Ice Queen.
Hi, after swapping the tank, did you experience innaccurate petrol reading? I swap my tank yesterday to mr clean color and it was 4 bar petrol in it. After the swap, the petrol reading is in 1 bar and keep blinking like it was nearly empty while there is still heaps of petrol in it.
No I didn't experience any issues with fuel level readings. I suspect you may have accidentally bent the float rod when you reinstalled the sensor. I would take the sensor out again when it's convenient and then you can test the float to see if the level will change as you manually move the float up and down. You could also take the tank cap off when the fuel level is low and then use a wire to lift the sensor up and down while the key is turned on, this should show you the level changing on the dash and then you could bend the sensor rod if needed. Let me know how it goes, someone else may have the same issue as well.
Tec bike parts shocks next 👌
You might be right!! Gotta see if I can budget for them!!
@@losttogether4ever very affordable, for a 47 hp bike you really don't require anything more hi tech or expensive unless you're valentino Rossi!,I just bought some,and the peg/ lever lowering kit 👌 bargain
What an absolute gorgeous combination with the black/chrome/tan!!!!!! You've enspired me to bite the bullet and do the same for my Ice Queen. I did manage to find a Chinese supplier of the tank that will include and install the fuel pump and guage to the tank before shipping it to me....$420 landed in the USA!
Awesome, that's a pretty good deal!! I love the look of it! Every time I come into the garage I stop and admire it!! Thanks for watching!
What happened with the white tank you scratched? My 650 fell over and dented the tank. I’m looking for a used good tank that I can repaint.
My tank is on the shelf all boxed up, no scratches on it it's mint. I'm keeping it in case I want to change it back one day. Good luck with your search, if I was you I'd pick one up off e-bay with factory paint, it'll save you cash in the long run.
Where did you get the front fairing from?
That's a C-Racer fairing, the video with a link is here---th-cam.com/video/C548J1jb1Is/w-d-xo.html I love the way it fits and looks. Thanks for watching!
What pipes do you have on them
It's a TEC Bike parts 2into1 Stinger, sounds great here's a video we made on the installation of it. th-cam.com/video/cUODVOtf7JA/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!!
Video on swapping breaks when?
Do you mean pads or calipers?
Which fairing do you have on the bike?
Hey John, Thanks for watching, the fairing is a C-Racer fairing, I really like the way it looks!! Here's a Video on it- th-cam.com/video/C548J1jb1Is/w-d-xo.html
Can one put continental's tank on interceptor?
Yes you can, they are completly interchangable. Thanks for watching.
It's time to rule bike world by Indian brands. And this is our favourite one. 🇮🇳
Jai Hind!!
gimme icequeen 🥵
Maybe next year she'll be back!
Your engine so shiny . How to do it
I have a foam wheel to buff it with my drill and I use Autosol or Mothers Mag wheel metal polish. Thanks for watching!
@@losttogether4ever will it shiny forever or how long it will last for the heat engine to turn back to the original state.
It's usually good for a couple of weeks before it starts to get a bit dull then I do it again.
the white was better
Nothing wrong with a change and I can always go back to the white whenever, thats the beauty of these machines!!
Tail cut short tail best look
I don't want to cut the frame, it does look very cool though!
Please short tail. Mk design tail cut
Maybe one day, I like the rear handle fo moving the bike around my garage. Thanks for watching.
