I just installed the the TEC Sump Guard on my Interceptor 650. Thanks for the video, it took me a little longer for a few reasons. 1: If you are following along be sure to use the shorter screws for the rear Guard attachment and the longer ones on the front bracket. I had to take it apart and switch them. The video could be a little more clear on where washers go. The product came with a ton of washers and it is not exactly clear from the video where washers are to be used. Overall it took me almost 2 hours. It looks solidly attached and it looks great on the bike as well. I already had some stone dents on the oil filter so, happy that I got one. Cheers.
Same, couple of days from order to delivery spot on but would have liked a sheet of paper with diagram and washers etc numbered would make alot of sense albiet i got mine on with the video only.
Your videos are all very interesting and helpful. I drive Triumph for 16 years (Tiger 955i, Sprint RS and Bonneville T100 Spirit) in the next few months I want to buy an additional RE 650. I have not decided yet, whether Continental GT or Interceptor. I will test drive both models and decide afterwards. Then I will sign up for a few parts that you have presented in your videos. See you soon and greetings from Switzerland Matthew
Just added your bar risers they are great and hope to fit guard this weekend. Great video and magic to have Northern lads doing such great invention. Ride safe bud. Tony
An excellent kit that has obviously been very well thought out. Took me two hours to do it start to finish but that includes a few redos as I assembled the front bracket wrong way around a few times 🙄 The upper bracket in my kit did not have any anti-rub strips on it so I cut two pieces of peel and stick Velcro (the soft loop side) to act as a buffer between the bracket and the frame tubes. I wish I had purchased this kit before buying the RE kit ☹️
great video .. a must on the R.E. and TRIUMPH ...did mine in 2002 triumph ..remove to change oil and filter .. no big deal ..time to check out anything wrong underneath and clean ..18 years of getting to know the underside ..
Captive nuts in the rear cross bracket (the same as the front) would make this so much easier. All in all a bit of a faff on but once done you never have to do it again and it does look good. Hopefully I wont find out if it actually does its job ! Another nice bit of kit George, cheers
Looks a great piece of kit [thumbsup] Have you thought about fixing some mesh behind the front holes to maintain ventilation but also reduce / alleviate the possibility of a small stone damaging the oil filter?
You don’t have to take off the full exhaust system. You need Ball-End Hex keys to do the job. They can be at an angle while opening the hex bolts. So, you don’t need to get the pipes out of your way you can open the bolts with the hex key angled towards the ground. 🙂
@@TECBikeParts I will keep checking you site. BTW I just received you luggage rack in Black and the pannier rails for my T120 Black and they look and fit great. Thank you for making a good product. 👍
I was left with an unused M6 spacer, which can only go on the M6 bolt at the rear of the sump guard, but it isn't used in the video. Is the spacer important? I also had 2x M10 nuts and washers left over.
Same here - try as I might I couldn’t see where they might go. I did use two of the washers between the guard plate and the front bracket to space the plate away from the oil filter just a smidge.

Where did you put all the washers, nut side, bolt side or both?
So many washers I'm really racking my brain figuring out where they all go.

Those damn birds.
the joy of living in the countryside !
i installed the RE sump guard it works great

Maybe fixed nuts on the rear bracket? Or just threaded holes (if the bracket is thick enough)
Are broken sumps a thing ? I never saw one .

Love it 💛 I wished you made one for the 535 Continental Gt 🏍💨 💨
Hi
not checked yet but frames are very similar so may fit
Much better than the RE sump guard!
You think of everything.thanks
Common sense fitting 👍🏻
Hey i had the same question how can i buy these in India and also what do you mean by a full system of exhaust like a scrambler style ?
Awesome.
You don’t have to take off the full exhaust system. You need Ball-End Hex keys to do the job. They can be at an angle while opening the hex bolts. So, you don’t need to get the pipes out of your way you can open the bolts with the hex key angled towards the ground. 🙂
So why does Royal Enfield tell you to take off the exhaust in the official instructions ?
Probably they didn’t think about it too. Why don’t you give it a try and see for yourself if it works or not.
Very Uncle Ernie...
I really like the Bar end mirrors! are they OEM or are they something you have on you site?
See here: m.czcams.com/video/IUzPA95DfyQ/video.html
Hi they are our bar end mirrors, we are sold out at the moment, but will have more in about 5 weeks

Looks excellent. How can I buy this in India? Along with all the other parts - led indicators, mirrors, etc.
Will you be making this in the original OEM finish as well?

Any comments ???

How do i get this product in USA?
Hi we should be making these in the US in a couple of months and will be available on our US website tecbikepartsusa.com
What U did with air filter ?pls make video of them.
Airbox - is still work in progress and will show when all done
i was wondering if you go off road with this, are the tubes lower than the sump guard ? Could you damage them ?
sump guard is lower than the frame to protect the tubes
Do you have a price
Fitting of the original guard seems really stupid... :-/ if it is like he is saying.
