The most difficult job is done! The solution was found to relocate all the stock connectors that were hanging out there on the front. The Bates light is properly fitted now!

This is something I wanted to do as well since the first weeks I got my bike. I already have built 2 custom bikes so I wouldn’t call me a beginner and knew how much work it means so congrats for having the courage I didn’t have yet. It needs time and patience to do it right!

@thesundayrides 7 ай бұрын

Wow, cool! What bikes did you build? It took me 3-4 months to build up the courage to do the job, but then it was quite OK to be honest. If you have any question before you get busy - please let me know, and I will be glad to help!

Good work mate, not sure I would have had the patience or fortitude to carry on when the first attempts didn’t go the way I had planned. Obviously your skill set & confidence will have a received a big boost, looking forward to seeing what you do next.

Thanks, Daryl! I am the same.. It was about 3 months from my first attempt until I finally did it properly. My temporary 3d printed solution was "good enough".

You may have struggled with this, but it made you grow as a mechanic and an engineer. These are invaluable skills. You will now start thinking "If I did this again, I would do it differently", that means you have learnt from the experience. Funny you mention 3D printed parts. I am currently designing some modifications for my Super Meteor that use 3D printed parts.

@thesundayrides 8 ай бұрын

Yes, agree with you. In the age of Ai nice to be able to do electrical and mechanical tasks. All dads should teach and pass it to their children. Moms too.. It’s a good idea to do an episode on the use of 3d printing for motorcycles. How are you getting with it?

@B0M0A0K 8 ай бұрын

@@thesundayrides I have been 3D printing for a few years and am of the opinion that it's not for everyone. This is my second printer and I am considering changing it in the new year for something new. I compare it to the difference between a PC and a Mac computer. If you want to learn how computers work, you get a PC. If you want to focus on content, then you get a Mac. Most 3D printers are like PC's and you need to build an understanding on the fundamentals before you can make it work properly. For the Super Meteor, I have designed and fitted a dual port fast USB charger mount that fits to the Tripper dial. I am also creating better hand grips for the centre stand grab rails. I will then cover these in Leather.

@@thesundayrides Same as you. Ender 3 Pro. But I changed the motherboard to a 32 bit SKR Mini E3, so I could get quieter stepper motors and run Marlin, as well as a few other things. I set up Octopi on an Raspberry Pi3 and control everything from there.

This video gave me the motivation to take on this task myself! I too have been overwhelmed/overthinking this exact same thing. I had a lot of success in getting the wiring stuffed into the frame. I extended my control cables like you did to complete the task. I must say thanks for your videos, great to watch and wonderful for motivating us to make the most of our interceptors. If you get a chance have a look at remmotocycle, the switches really tidy the controls on the bars nicely.

@thesundayrides 7 ай бұрын

Hello Jared and thank you a lot for your comment. Fantastic feedback that helps me going with this channel! I am glad that it also worked out for you and in the end turned out a completely manageable task. What head light have you got? I must say I am more than intrigued by those controls, but I am hesitating only because of unusual indicators switch. Did you get used to it?

@jaredbrown9931 7 ай бұрын

@@thesundayrides I’m also running a bates style light. I liked the minimalist look. I don’t really ride much in the night, for me I liked the style. I hesitated with the controls, but decided to take the leap of faith, I love everything about them, but agree about the indicator switch, I do find myself having to make sure they are centered after I turn. They would probably be more difficult with thicker gloves, living in Australia, that is something I don’t have to worry much about. My bike is slowly taking shape, it’s simply amazing to see so many different parts from different companies, I feel the community with the Royal Enfield is amazing. Sadly after purchasing my seat I saw the new modular one you got! Which is stunning! I wish I had waited now.

I'll keep you posted. With Winter feeling like it landed this morning 🥶 (-1° WTF!?) I think the bike will be going away and it'll be a slow acquisition of new parts to take the sting out of the pricing and a few months to learn the craft of modding 🙏🏼 What a video! Those winter evenings must have felt both cathartic and frustrating while grafting to get that wiring done and the skill nailed. Hell of an effort, sir. Bravo

@thesundayrides 8 ай бұрын

@@TheContiGT Thanks, man! Winter is great for that kind of thing to get a new skill or two. Re video: yes, it was a rollercoaster. soldering was a meditation. shuffling the tank around was a stress. figuring out how to route the wiring - thought provoking. also that feeling when you finaly get everything to finish the job only to realise you got not enough of certain wire gauge .. anyway, I am glad I did it. It was time well spent and the result well worth it!

I think this will be a winter project for me. I only have my Interceptor and I can't afford to miss bike night or weekend rides! Kinda sucks that BAAK doesn't warn how much work this can potentially be. I wonder if there's any way at all you can do this without rewiring. Either way, huge kudos for doing this, it looks great and the work was worth it!

@thesundayrides Ай бұрын

Zach! Thanks for your kind words! I now have a second bike, and it is so liberating, I can start a new project without FOMO on rides! Yes, you can do it without rewiring, BAAK sells a front plate to hide the wiring, but I didn't like it, and didn't like the price of it. P.S. you can see it in my early videos.

Hi Chris! I am using these ones and I got them from Urban Rider: www.urbanrider.co.uk/motone-custom-billet-indicator-turn-signals-pair-black.html plus the mounts www.urbanrider.co.uk/motone-wrap-around-fork-indicator-turn-signal-bracket-clamps-black.html. I am very happy with them. Got 2 pairs - front & rear. They come with white and yellow front "glass".
