You are truly passionate and driven to get a 17 inch set up. After watching all the videos you've made I've come to the conclusion, the best option is to trust Joshua Crasto and have him set up the bike. It would be money well spent on the interceptor.
It can be any builder, Joshua is good, bulleteer customs, anyone who does it end to end... but still a plug and play option will be the best.. like with the meteor rear wheel...
@@acoupleofrides true that, Mr Joshua and his work on interceptor has been the most well finished 17inch job I've come across on the interceptor. And that bike has been put through its paces. Hence my reference to him. Cheers
Nice video sir, fully agreed with your approach.
Can hunter rear wheel fit as interceptor front wheel ?
Check audio at 4:42 time frame, bhai ne seedha gaali dedi video mei. Avoid uploading abusive language. Family ke sath nhi dekh skte fir video.
You can try duke 390 front rim to 650
Because it also has 320mm router at front it can match the rear meteor alloy design too with minor changes custom axle and custom spacers and speed bracket build
Yes you can, 390 alloy is made for a lighter bike. Interceptor is heavy bike hence this preference was being tested...
Excellent video series. People made it sound so simple, watching you navigate these mechnical hurdles sets the perpective. Hats off to your 17 inch endeavour and hope you find a truly plug n play 17.in rim.
I salute you
Thanks brother, it really takes a lot of time effort and patience to even test such things out...
Thanks for the experiment & I agree it is not a plug & play.
Thanks for all the information Brother.
I think dismotech introduced a new 17inxh alloy plug and play setup for 650twins
But what about the disc break of GT 650?
Failures are pillars of success, so keep trying,👏
U can use gt535 fork leg. If u r using hunter disc rotator.
Point was to make it plug an play.. but more mods only add complexity
How?
saw a video where a person has fitted a spacer in gt 650 and has fit Hunter front wheel the fitment looked clean
Yea yeah it can be done... you need to machine few parts for disc and stuf. I had already installed dominar wheel in front hence I didn't go forwards woth that installation...
why didn't u try dismotech aluminium tubless spoke rims?
Because I don't like rims
Will new 2023 interceptor alloys fit the old interceptor wheels? Finally problems over ?
It seems like they will be plug and play... sources say that it will. But let it come...
The problem should be over soon...
Simple just get a 17invh steel rim. It will work like plug and play as you mentioned.
Yes but that doesn't solve the puncture issue. Outex and likes require reapplication everytime it needs spoke alignment.
@acoupleofrides Rather than re-engineering the alloys, which may affect the safety of the driver, it's better to adjust with the puncture issue. Well, it's a choice. Some go for looks, and some go for practicality. I also watched your dominer Wheels video. You did a great job by covering so many issues on the wheels upgrade 👏 👍. Hope you keep this not giving up attitude.
I just needed solutions for me.. videos just happened. The bike was so incomplete that it created so many vids... anyways just because it's oem doesn't mean it's always safe. But the mods I have done are more tested than usual... almost 5 bikes that I know are using it.. in a total of about 90k kms. I would have also loved if RE would have given us this option...
Spoke rim v tubeless banaya jata hai. Ek video mai dekha tha. Aap wo laga lo. Looks same rahega or tubeless v ho jayega
Hey green, you should check out other videos that are been done on this topic. So much of those things are give way in extreme heat and regular usage.. alloys on the other hand seem like a better choice.. I have them installed on the bike and this experiment was for the viewers to see weather its plug and play or not..
@acoupleofrides can we use mahindra mojo alloys as they are 17 inch and it's front disc brake is also fitted on left side as interceptor n gt
Yes people have used MOJO alloys as well. One of my subscribers also used those alloys. But it's not plug-and-play. You still need to machine part like axle, abs sensor, and few bushes to keep it in place..
Price ??
For the 17 inches conversion? RE has launched alloys in 18 and should be out soon.. so hold on for that..
do you think this will fit Himalayan scram 411 too
Nope..
Good information, good that I did not order one..... hopefully shotgun wheel will be a straight fit
Lets wait and see..
bhaiya kya hum front pe ek extra disc brake laga sakte hai?
Yaar kuch logo ne try kiya hai... but kaafi mods hai karne padnege... sustainable nai hai...
Wait for next one or two months.. RE is launching Alloy wheels, 2X1 exhaust for Interceptor and GT... And expecting some USD forks also... So its not worth in doing these exercises
You sure about that boy? What’s the source of this news? It would be a life saver!!
He is referring to the leaked images floating on the net... but all this can only be checked once they are launched...
Can we fit interceptor wheel in hunter?
Same problems in reverse... but why would you do that.. it gets nothing better to the stock setup in hunter..
Nitin ji, truly committed effort with single point dedication..... hope the RE design engineers were that dedicated to their work. I have an Interceptor and am so disappointed at the lack of Human Factor understanding at RE for this bike...... having a nice powerful engine is not enough to start selling a bike..... this i believe is the only reto naked bike with 804 mm seat height...... the avg height of people in India is 5ft and 6 in....... there's no way an average rider can have his feet planted on both sides..... more so in city riding where traffic is pathetic with road conditions like lunar surface...... i can point out multiple elements in this bike where the design is not human factor centric.... but RE is deaf. 😔
Yes you are absolutely right.. I think they are working on it. Since the hunter that I reviewed earlier this month, checks put all of those factors... I really like it I just wish it had the 650 cc engine..
Hello brother ye alloy aapne kha se purchase kiye ??
And very nice videos brother appreciate 🔥🔥
You can order these from the royal enfield
Bro can we add 18inch aloye weel on hunter front
Nahi...
@@acoupleofrides can't we do that with some mods
Plug and play nahi hai but fitings banana padega... which in long run will not be conducive..
@@acoupleofrides well I want to make my hunter a cafe racer
Install clip ons, bar ends, tail tidy and stuff it will transform...
Bhai. Super meteor wala try karna. Waiting for your video desperately
just checked out the super meteor, the setup is tottaly different..
@@acoupleofrides have checked the both front and rear wheel ?or only front? l was thinking of installing only rear wheel of super meteor to my interceptor do install wider section tyre ,what are your thoughts?
We have checked for both the tires bhai.
Front is 19 and the rear 16. There will be significant changes required to fit these parts. Hold on for some more time. New versions for int and gt are coming...
@@acoupleofrides r u saying changes in tyre size or alloy hubs ,i visited the showroom today checked sm650 and int650 side by side ,the alloy hub and rim hub looks same however i think only way to find out for sure is to either buy that alloy and try to fit or to get the exact size dimentions from spares team and tally anyways do let me know asap u get any info if u checked and if its plug and play ,although i know u r more intrested in 17 inches but for now iam only intrested in rear alloy replacement do try this one if u can. Btw loved ur work with dominar alloyes
I have an idea! What if you use Rc390 2022 front disc on the hunter wheel. There is a chance it will fit. It is 320mm in size, has 5 bolts, also looks same just in a little bit bigger size.
So they look the same... but the right fitment will only be observed with the parts in hand..
@@acoupleofrides It might be worth a shot.
Bro I have tried a lot of things but the disc setup etc are too much work...
I am waiting for the new gen 650s to come in.. and I shall try with those..
@@acoupleofrides ok
Hi 👋 Interceptor owner here from Chennai. Did you find any solution for this? Will the meteor 350 alloys fit on Interceptor without the need to make major adjustments?
So, it's not going to be plug n play. We will need to make parts to fit in place. Since I had already installed a dominar wheel in front. I wasn't convinced to spend more on this mod. Although it can be done. But I would still prefer the dominar wheel to be installed in front...
@@acoupleofrides Understood. So are you planning to get the 18” alloys that comes with the 2023 Interceptor model ? It’ll be plug and play then
I have been thinking about it.. but honestly I still very much like the 17 inches stance and ride... yes it's plug and play for sure... lets see will keep it posted on the channel if in case I do..
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello, thank you for making these set of video's... I have been trying for the same plug and play 17" setup for my GT650. I just hope the next set of 650ies being launched by RE can help achieve this as they may come with an alloy set-up. However, i did hear about a company named Dismotech that builds tubeless 17" spoke rims that fit the stock 650ies hub. It does solve ... Having a 17" + having a tubeless set-up. I am just hoping someone make a video with a review for that 😉... Cheers and thank you again.
There are a couple of videos on that... apparently dismotech is not very good with there products... a friend of mine faced a lot of issues with them. At first they took a lot of time, then the pacel got swapped, then the rim had issues and was not even sent with spokes... YOU may check with LRL MOTORS...
Lol... I just bent the front rim, I am also looking for an alternative.. 😭😭
Dismotech sells those wheels for 25-30k
Yup I know...
Good content brother...I am taking a delivery of Hunter Retro. One very important question: Can I change the front wheel to 120mm (from rear to front) and 150mm at the rear (new)? Thank you.
Also...how reliable is tubeless conversion on a spoked rim?
Yes you can increase a size up, in both front and back there is enough space...
Get apollo alpha, tvs euro grip type tires. Mostly all tubless conversion are reliable ie outex, waytotubless, inverted tube but everytime you will trune the spoke wheels, you will have to do the tubless thing again.. It depends on how much you wanna spend. I would recommend that you get the metro alloys and better tires.
It will do the job well...
Thanks for the frank opinions and for experimenting with the Hunter's wheel. I agree with you that a plug and play solution would be ideal. Even I prefer something like that rather trying all hacky methods to gets things to work. Can't really trust such methods in case of emergencies.
Anyway, something else may come up hopefully. Thanks for trying it out! Cheers!
Great to you could Relate to the emotion... I'll keep the hunt on..
Don't get disappointed brother there is a new interceptor on the way with 17 inch alloy wheels and different styles
Waiting brother..I shall see what they launch..
Are you sure brother..when they are going to launch exactly?
See it should be launched early 23, but business is to sell more bikes, not to fix old ones... lets wait and watch..
i am still going ahead for this mod and creating a plug and play so anybody can install these alloys 🙏
Superrb please share 🙏
@@acoupleofrides sure thing bro
@@mohsinrekhivlogs have you succeeded?
More like given up.. 😀
I literally comment all this on the last video and you straight up denied it, lol now you made a video saying the same.
Honestly, not to annoy anyone, but everything here happened like a journey brother... I can't recall what you had mentioned... but happy to go though the idea.. connect with on insta
Hi there brother, now that the super meteor has been revealed with front alloy and 320mm disk at the front with spoke mounted disk and abs toner ring. The mounting points looks to be exactly same as those in hunter 350 wheel
Let it come on ground then let's see..
😅 Hojayega bus apko nhi pata he wheel bhi fit hojayega sabkuch correctly.
And apke mecganic ko nhi pata he bus
Bilkul ho jayege rahul, bas plug and play nahi.. I hope you understood what I was trying comprehend...
Brother plug and play kuch bhi nhi he.... Apko work karna hi padega tbhi things work karegi.... Chalo koi nhi ab hum banare he royal enfield wid same rims and apollo tyres 150 and 110, front fairing, side fairing and belly, and rear cowl + seat.
Bata dena.. but I am not looking at custom work as its pointless on long rides and not sustainable... I have a dominar wheel fitted long back.. it works beautifully... I am running a 110 and 150 rear for long now...
Let me know if you want to see the final product of royal enfield.
Spoke wheels always❤ I love blackout engine and exhaust than chrome as seen in newly launched gt and intercept but wheels should be always spoke.retro bikes looks ugly with alloy wheels Only advantage of it is tubeless tyres. I have seen new classic 350 with alloy wheels it sucks 👎 the bike dint have tht classic look
So, an authentic retro look is with spokes. But we live in a country where roads are filled with sharp objects.... I personally am indifferent about alloys or spokes. For me it's always been function over form/looks. If RE or any other manufacturer start providing tubless spoke wheels. I will opt for it too...
Until then, alloys it is for me...
अब रॉयल इनफील्ड का ओरिजिनल एलॉय व्हील आ गया है आर्डर करके मंगवा ले
Dhyaan deke video dekho, yahan pay 17 inches ki baat ho rahi hai...
Haan mujhe pata hai ki aagya hai RE ka alloy or woh 18 inche hai..
Ab kya farak hai uska nibandh nahi likh sakta idhar. Par iss channel pay videos hai, jo iss topic pay kuch acha info de sakengi.
Heights of stupidity of RE, their flagship product dont comes with Alloy wheels or even in accessories they are not providing, but but but they are offering Alloys on their cheapest product. Super frustrated interceptor owner
Yes yes I have faced the same frustration for long... youbcan checkout the channel and see how I delt with it...
The difference between the Indian motorcycle vloggers with the western counties is that Indian hardly built or do customization by themselves rather they go to small workshops and many a times learn from those technically inexpert machenics. Lazy or boss vloggers? No offense
You are highly opinionated, don't wanna mend your belief, but go through few vids and understand the journey. Such customization are not easy tasks and there are parts to be machined for which there are no plug and play fitments available because india is not friendly with automobile customizations... hence you need mechanics like these who have done such fitments for years and can do it better than many..
@@acoupleofrides I believe he has never experienced the labour costs abroad. The kind of hit and try you did in this video would have shaved a good $500 out of your pocket. that's why people DIY in so called Western countries I don't this there are Counties in India as mentioned in the original comment.
Rightly explained brother... especially the parts being machined.
it's better to wait royal Enfield to launch gt with alloys this is not legit and reliable exercise there is no point wasting time energy and money most importantly
Not entirely true, I am running a dominar front and if things are machined properly, they work properly... but here the excercise was to find out whether it will fit with minor tweaks.. and that's not the case... can it be fitted0? yes it can be but we will have to machine custom parts...
