Hello James, the new system really suits the bike. I did wonder if the brushed stainless steel System would look out of place but, it goes with the alloy casings and anodised wheels. Very smart looking. Cheers Keith
Presumably, you can get the bike through the MOT in the UK without a problem. I am in Thailand with a free breathing Interceptor and I know that they stick a probe into the silencers to check the emissions as part of the test once the bike is 5 year old. I am not sure how I will get on, but I may have to reinstall the original system for the test.
If you hadn't done the air injection delete mod you'd have got a lot of snap crackle and pop when coming off the throttle. I know that from experience with my Interceptor. I did the delete mod after fitting my new exhaust. The air delete sorted that out on my bike. Ride safe
The seat cowl is easily removed by unscrewing two allen bolts. However, I kept the old seat after fitting a different one. So I just swap seats if I have a pillion. I bought the seat from an ebay seller in India.
Confirms my thoughts on the bike which is great stock but far better with a few mods.I look forward to your video on clutch or clutch spring replacement! After I added those headers it made so much difference the clutch slips during "spirited" overtakes.
Hey, just wondering what is the issue with the Tec system? I made the choice to just go for end cans (went for Diablo J11C which seem pretty OK) but now want to go for headers, and was looking at Tec headers, so interested in your thoughts if you get a chance to reply? Thanks!
A Lithium battery only weighs about 1kg & stock battery is about 4kg.A Shorai Lithium Iron battery 🔋 are rechargeable & recharge once every 6-12 months.Also removing stock battery & it's 3kg extra weight over a Lithium battery lower weight even more & have better battery 🔋. 3kg you're removing is high up to so handling be improved alot especially manoeuvring around.So if your battery fails replace with a Lithium ion or Lithium Iron battery.
A lot of comments from me lately, sorry mate! That SAS, secondary air system, is there to spare the cat (or cats!) for unburned fuel. Especially when cold. So bin that. A beautiful bike indeed. I will buy a second bike in the near future. But I'm on the fence. Would a used T100 or Street Twin be a better option than the RE? I do like the simplicity of the RE. Aircooled and not much electronics. But like the reliability of the Triumph. Or is the RE just as good? I ask you, because you had 59 bikes and I only had around 20. 🙂But in 40 years. I'm not looking for high powers (obviously), I have the 790 Duke for that. Any thoughts? Cheers!
Interesting! Thank you. Personally I’d buy the RE. Air cooling is something I personally prefer for its simplicity. And the Interceptor is an inexpensive bike that is gear to ride! Even with the tweaks required, many of which are preventative……

I love it!

Fortunately, the mot test here didn’t test the exhaust emissions…
I’m in Thailand as well and I have kept the original exhausts just incase I’ll get the bike into the MOT too😅
same bike by the way.
Fortuntely. No such thing here in the U.K.😀

Good to know!
Nice " Look " ,,, waiting for road test and a bit of a long term review..... also.. the seat cover is starting to grow on me... 😎

@@internetpolification I upgraded to a touring seat.. can I assume this cowl will still fit ? :)
My seat is also a touring one and has a raised pillion bit. The cowl is a perfect fit…..

Wow…impressive. I’m sure stronger springs are available. It’s quite an easy job….
Looks like you've made a great choice. I wish I'd known about this before I got the poor Tec system.

People have commented on poor weld quality and welds inside the header bore
Ive shed as much weight as possible on my gt,just the battery was 4.3kg,rear shocks 1kg each,2 into 1 about 12kg,the bike really picks up now
I bet! Well worth doing

@@internetpolification Thank you! 🙂
Are you going to look at the fueling? A pico scope in the bores scared me.
Fuelling should be fine. I know of several people who emailed me to say they have this combination of headers and cans and the standard fuelling.
@@internetpolification 🤞. Mine was so weak. One cylinder was worse than the other.
Is your bike Euro 4 or Euro 5?
@@internetpolification 4 2019👍👍
@@peterwilson8797 same as mine then. I’ll run mine first a few hundred miles and check the plugs….. should be fine!
