Which mod is your most and least favourite on your own bike?

The wheels are the best upgrade IMO. Great job all around! Also the bates light looks great. Shame it couldn't be an LED version

@thesundayrides 2 ай бұрын

@@yahoodlums thank you very much! I agree, wheels suit this bike well. As it was build for 17 but then 18 was chosen for more classic appearance… I might get a brighter bulb or check if it can be replaced with an led one.

The mods you’ve done all work well together. Nothing seems out of place. The one that interests me most is actually the wheels. I haven’t priced something like that’s in the US but I’m sure it’s comparable. Great job all around.

@thesundayrides 2 ай бұрын

Thank you very much! If you decide to do the wheels, go wider on the rear rim than I did. I chose 3.75 for 150/70 tyre and I think I should have chosen 4.0 or even 4.25 and 150/60. This would look ‘cooler’

Great job mate. I always enjoy your videos and also learn about my own bike project. Next month I'd like to put a 17" on the rear and use the actual 18" rear ring on the front. Pirelli MT60 RS are coming :D. I don't feel bad spending money on my bike, if I don't want to work on my bike, I'd bought a Triumph :P

Very nice informative video! Love the way your interceptor has evolved. Was very nicely surprised at the cost of the side bags! They look great as well. The indicators blend away into the bike so nicely! Very slick. I was admiring the rear mudguard and how minimal it looks. Gives the bike a nice side view as it doesn't jump out to much and gives the rear a 'higher' look 😀. I bet your wife is very happy that you got given this all for free 😉😅

Thanks for the feedback buddy! Bugs are really well priced! Or at least I think so when comparing to other products (baak, trip machine) etc. I didn’t get your last comment, sorry.

Best upgrade is the 17inch wheels for sure! People should look to install 17 inchers before they upgrade anything else because they completely transform the way the bike handles. Second best has to be the exhaust.. great weight savings and enhanced sound. All other upgrades are a matter of taste, with plenty of options for everyone to find exactly what they're looking for. Great video as always Max! (and thanks for sneakily mentioning me at 11:56 lol) We should do another video soon 💯

@thesundayrides Ай бұрын

Hey Stan! Thanks for your kind words! It was a pleasure to work together on a video and we absolutely need to find an idea for a new one! Absolutely agree with 17 wheels. No surprise that all sporty bikes are on 17inches. Sadly it is an expensive mod. Also agree on the exhaust.

@andreastomblin2137 2 ай бұрын

Thanks Max great video. Love your bike man. I have just upgraded my front forks with the YSS upgrade kit and rear shocks with YSS lowering shocks. What an improvement. Also, fitted AEW te201 slipon exhaust which is amazing. Is it just me or has the rake on the front end changed. Maybe it's an optical illusion. Anyway, keep posting. Missed seeing your content.

Next ,,,Big bore kit !. Love the bars... old school flat track,,,, great look but way overpriced. Most of the changes are appearance related. Personal style... overall, the bike has a great stance ... My Interceptor, ravishing red,,, I swapped the front sprocket for lower engine seeds at 75mph... dropped perhaps 200... tour seat,... Cravin panniers... I may in time replace the hefty exhaust system.... I only got 5500 miles on the machine and it's a great bike. I ride solo trips and back county roads searching for coffee, pie and wave at the Amish farmers.... Thank you for all your efforts and helping your fellow riders who have thought of these changes you made. 😎

I can't believe the prices for some of these parts.. particularly BAAK.. £250 for handle bars.. they look superb of course, but I think motorcyclists are definitely ripped off by these kind of companies! Having said that, your bike looks great, love the channel and all your videos, keep them coming 😀 What about a paint job next? I'm currently modifying my own interceptor. Are you shortening your rear sub frame for that more compact look? Cheers Stewart 👌👍

@thesundayrides 2 ай бұрын

Hi Steward! Yes, unfortunately that’s the price you pay. And that’s Royal Enfield, if I had a bmw r9 t…forget it!! Baak is a bit crazy with their prices. I guess that’s their expenses plus their marketing. They don’t want to target affordable market, they are entry level premium. Which is cool, the quality is decent. But I wasn’t even considering their exhaust, seat, and other stuff. For the £250 you get the cable kit as well. It is overpriced too, but you win time as you don’t need to source it all separately, measure the length, etc. Thanks for the compliment about the bike! Yeah, they new paint job is a logical next step. That’s £800 alone. So I will wait a bit. Or probably just start a crowdfunding campaign:) I was thinking long about cutting the frame. I think I should do it. I was thinking about the resale value after this mod, but man.. the resale value even of a new and unmodified interceptor is ridiculous now… so why not! Good luck with your bike mods! Let me know if I can help somehow!
