The finished bike has been delivered and the final stage of this project is now here!
In this third instalment of the build series, Dutch, the new proud owner of this custom Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 takes us through the usual walkthrough of the modifications and features of the bike. However, we also strapped cameras and microphones to it and him to take you on the first ride around east London, and captured his genuine first ride impressions which were (spoiler alert) that he is thrilled to bits.
Special thanks to Royal Enfield for their collaboration on this special project and great addition to the BSMC staff bike fleet!

I hope you drop a parts list I would love to look into getting a few bits, bars, tires, etc. I appreciate your work The Bike Shed. Cheers from Northern California.

S&S Cycles 2 into 1 exhaust system, 16 inch. Wheels and Shocks bbuilt y Hagon, Speedo and Bar-End Indies by Moto Gadget, Bars, Gaitors by Baak Motorcycles, Tyres at Avon Cobrag Chromes. I'd go to Canyon Cycles in LA for wheels, and then S&S make loads of performance parts, and then look at Baak for the bars and other cosmetics.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again... I love bars and the stance of this bike. It looks like it has been setup perfect for urban riding. London traffic looks scary I must admit tho. I love detail on a custom, and they have done a superb job with the overall final product. I’d be proud to have that in my garage. Enjoy it Dutch 👍🤘🏻

"Cerakote" (on the exhaust) is the most wonderful stuff ever ! Tough as old boots, but very thin, so no problems like blocked up threads and thick looking finish at joins and over welds. It's very chip resistant and comes in loads of colours and finishes. It's just better than powder coating etc in every way. Love it. It's even available as a DIY thing. Top stuff for frames and wheels etc.

Now I can finally see how it looks and performs on the road in action. The bike I have been picturing in my mind I could one day build from a base 650 Interceptor twin. Very surprising you didn't know this bike is air and oil cooled though.
