UK - Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 - Folding Rear Brake Lever

Күн бұрын

In todays short video I customise the foot brake lever of the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 to add a knurled alloy folding peg. I have just done the brake side at present as this is where the case is most vulnerable to puncture from the lever in the event of a drop/crash.

Love the new video format . I bet you do as well because it means you don’t have to worry about what you are going to say to us either. I found that making videos where I don’t need to speak is much more enjoyable to me. Great work on the shifter! Looks factory!

Thank you, yea was just a quick mod, wasn’t even going to film it but worked out well. Didn’t intend to drill the holes or paint it at the outset either!

@GurdeepSingh-cg1yp 3 жыл бұрын

I believe it needs to be angled a bit up as well, so a side fall will move it up and back

Cuts from the grinder are particularly fun, they self cauterise! Done it a few times even through thick leather gloves!

@DormanDiaries 3 жыл бұрын

I got it on ebay back in January, they don't seem to have anymore stock. Only place I can find now is Italy for twice the price. I only wanted a folding one for this side, other side not as vulnerable so may use a solid knurled one there.

Like the format and a great result but please take care regarding safety, nobody wants you injured so you cannot ride or make more videos for us. I spent years in engineering like you and have seen some terrible injuries from rotary wire brushes, grinding and vices not bolted down on pillar drills. You may have the experience but some watching may not. Not trying to be critical because I really like your channel.

@DormanDiaries 3 жыл бұрын

Good advice, my belt isn’t super tight so the drill will jam rather than rip my fingers off. If I was using a more powerful machine I’d definitely bolt the vice.

@krs.saravanakumar8538 3 жыл бұрын

Why do you have to fold brake lever ..instead anyone try to design foot pegs which are foldable backwards in stock condition,,to be fold able frontwards also which will help riders push and pull bike front and back using feet without any obstacle

@DormanDiaries 3 жыл бұрын

I’ve got the foldable route so it folds in a crash or if you hit the side of a rut etc. You fit in this orientation for off road as its typical to catch them. I’ve done it before 🙈
