Jesus we're lucky nowadays. Good quality information like this at our finger tips when it suits us. Anyone remember life before the Internet? Thanks for the upload!
Probably one of the nicest CZcamsrs out there in the RE interceptor scene. A very comprehensive overview and full appreciation of diversity of views. So many others could learn from this man. The Missenden Flyer should take note, Stuart Fillingham too :-)
Really great to see an enthusiasts modified big bore Interceptor! I have also switched to the YSS Topline Z rear shocks and front fork kit and I went with Hitchcock's Enfield stainless steel silencers. The handling and sound are at a new level. The front forks no longer dive a lot and quickly.
What a crazy world we live in when our illustrious leaders believe they can dictate what modifications we can and can’t do to items we own. That’s corporate power. We can end the madness if we stopped fighting amongst ourselves and concentrate on them. We give them the power. Btw, great build. 👍👍
Simi-logical! lol I was a administrator at a school in SE Oklahoma. The school colors were red, black, and white with the mascot being The Warriors. Every year they had a parade in the spring for Warrior week. If you were in it with proper vintage Warrior garb(aka Indian headdress with a old set of leathers). Well "Mam" would have been a hit. lol I like it a lot.
Hi Michael. Can’t tell you how glad I was to watch your video on this lovely REBB. Without you fella’s giving us blokes and I dare say some bloke’ess’s the low down on your progress of that gorgeous machine. That’s my kind of bike behind the Z900rs of course. I stopped toting up the cost of pure enjoyment at the £4700 mark. Thanks for taking the time to give us bikers the low down on your REBB. She’s a keeper but if you feel you get the urge to say one day you’ll be selling her then I don’t mind having 1st refusal. Bank account and sort code on application. It’s nice to know I’ll be going up that wooden hill happy that you’re happy with this lovely REBB you’ve shown to the world. P.S. it’s 04:45 on Saturday morning and watching in peace and quiet without her indoors pecking my head. PPS TAKE NO NOTICE OF THOSE THAT SAY “WHY BOTHER” bye for now.
Thanks Gary. Always good to hear from you . 👍 Glad you like the bike . One offs are always personal but I am very happy with it. As I had envisaged it and very close to budget and schedule .
I agree on your plans for the turn indicator lights. Especially in an urban environment, letting others know your intent is best for safety. and making them big and visible yet not looking nerdy is worth a go. Good luck!
Another excellent review of a lovely bike by Mr MAM. Fantastic modifications, aesthetically beautiful and I was chuffed to bits, that the standard tyres were not changed, a common issue for no good reason, on a forum that Mr MAM and I subscribe to. 😉😉
Very well filmed & presented (just a little boo boo around the cylinder liners & cam bit). Nice neat rear end work. I think you're in a good 'bang for buck' area. I feel that I want other road users to see the indicators even when they're off so they know I'm not turning, but the stealth ones do give a nice clean retro look. For those interested there's a Facebook group called 'Royal Enfield Big Bore'.
😂 Well spotted . Filmed a couple of versions and sometimes that makes it harder to keep continuity . I will see how I get on with the indicators . They are actually very bright and visible at night but I am not sure about daylight . As you will know I am in the big bore group but for others reading , there are some interesting and helpful discussions on it 👍
Was about to ask…… then Q&A answered it, and brilliantly. Another Vlogger (big) lauded how cheap the RE was and the went on to spend a fortune to get it right. I pointed out that they could have simply bought a Speed Twin. Didn’t get a response, but the same question was on my mind until the Q&A. Think your rationale might have held more water!
@@michaelmam My view is I am now 61 years young. Maybe have 10 years left where I can do the things I want (other than holidays). Not on your level, but bought a lovely Jag XK8, 2003 but in beautiful condition with genuine 60,000 mile. I have every receipt on everything that has been spent on it. Meticulous owner from new! Passed my bike test in January this year and on a Suzuki SV650 and a Kawasaki Vulcan 650s. Determined to enjoy the next few years!
Honest, enjoyable video. I've had 2 Triumphs, a Bonnie 790 then a Sprint ST. Wanted something smaller and lighter and the Interceptor does it for me, the proportions are much nicer than the air-cooled Bonnies and the price leaves room to mod. Your bike looks great and I bet it's a hoot to ride.
Looks good I thought about doing the big bore but haven't pulled the trigger on that because I don't think I could do that myself. Hitchcock motorcycles in the UK sell a kit with the cylinders you just have to put it all together. I've done a lot of changes to my Interceptor and it's addictive . I too have YSS front a back the switch gear/ front master cylinder /sintered pads/Hitchcocks headers with S&S cans. New Domino race throttle which you would like on your bike with the big bore kit for sure. The rear sets are changed the indicators head light bracket I don't know how much weight I lost on the bike but I 'm sure it comes to a good savings. Decided to get new tank the red and black I like but not the white between the colors. Going for the chrome your bike looks good good luck with her. Cheers
@@michaelmam Ride it enjoy it then later on upgrade clutch. Always rebuild it years & years later & early models like Euro 4 will be sought after in future.Could add a power commander or powertronic in future. Alot of people are criticis on a job like this & will say "You could of got a Triumph" but only a T100 & like you said you didn't want one or had them.I love the idea of a 865 Interceptor that out performs a T100 but has the ultra smoothness of Interceptor gearbox & fueling & you're not one of many.
@@ruahinesrider the stock clutch doesn't seem to handle the extra torque from what I've heard. I upgraded my clutch when I did the big bore kit, and honestly the only downside of the big bore upgrade for me is that the upgraded clutch (Rekluse brand) has more drag when disengaged due to having more plates. This means that you unfortunately lose some of the super slickness of the original gearbox, which is mainly noticeable when trying to go to N from 1st when not moving. It's a bit disappointing but that's the price you pay I suppose.
@@MrJulianneave Maybe a 750 be able to keep stock clutch & keep smoothness but be hard not to go 865 though.Actually be interesting to find out stats & differences between them I might look into it.
@@ruahinesrider I'm not sure, but I think that you'd probably need upgraded clutch for 750 as well. If considering doing this, also don't underestimate the benefits of having the more common 865 setup as far as tuning and community support goes. O think you'd have much more trouble finding people to share fuel/ignition maps with etc for a 750 and may be harder to find a starting point for tuning.
Thanks for this video, beautiful bike there! I put the identical YSS fork kit in my 2020 650INT and would like to add that the weight of the fork oil is how the damping is adjusted; the emulators regulate flow of lighter or heavier oil. Only a few of us have used the "750" S&S big bore kit here in the U.S., most go "the whole enchilada" with the 863cc.
Bikes looking great...nice job 👏. Great that you tapped into a wide range of skills to produce the bike you wanted. I keep thinking about the Triumph scramblers or the BMW Urban GS as a bike to customise, but after riding the Interceptor it's also very worthy alternative...not just on price but it's a fab bike full stop. Cheers, Steve
Classy and subtle build. Not normally a fan of these, prefer the air cooled Hinkley twins, and i still own the Meriden T140 i bought new in 79, albeit highly modified inc a Weslake stroker crank and Carillo rods, however... i thoroughly enjoyed this. Cheers, subscribed.
@@michaelmam getting a bit old for it these days. Hips, knee - magneto ignition, heavy billet steel crank, fine when i built it in 95, but i'm not getting any younger... actually detuned it a few years ago, sensible carbs and cams etc. And its still a bastard. Promised my son it when he turns 18 in a couple of years. He's well into his older 2 strokes, just built him a 36bhp, 108 kg 150 TZR. Me? I like my thumb start bikes these days (electric leg), so i ride my 89 highly modified Cali 3 Guzzi mostly. I'm an old school air cooled, carb type of guy.... Regards.
Very interesting. I've also modified my bike (a RE 650 GT) but from entirely the opposite approach i.e. reduced weight and saddle height. The power from the unmodified engine is more than adequate for me. Keep the videos coming please.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment . I suspect mine has lost weight as well . The exhausts are definitely significantly lighter . Any idea of what your’s weighs now ? For me the most obvious opportunity is suspension but we are all different . Its about fun 👍
@@michaelmam Weight saving to date is 21.815kg (48 lb). Mostly from the TEC 2 into 1 exhaust system and the Li-ion battery but 12 other mods make up the rest (Aluminium prop stand, titanium clip-ons etc etc). I'm only a short light weight guy (66kg) so picking up a 200kg bike is not easy for me, hence the obsession with reducing the weight and saddle height. Best regards.
I think what you’ve done is modified the bike to achieve what you want from it and I think that it’s cock on! Can’t rationally justify the spend but don’t see you need to, it’s going give you so much pleasure. I’ve gone equally crazy on my 2021 Enfield 500 trails it’s now 615cc with all sorts of lovely other stuff on it, makes 35bhp and 42ft/lbs of torque. £3000 spent and I love it. Some people blow £8-10,000 on a holiday that lasts 2 weeks, our spend will give us years of pleasure. Total justification! Think your videos are great, well shot and great presentation. Keep ‘em coming!!!
Thank you Michael . Sounds like you have had fun with your 615 as well . Well done . I have certainly spent more on a holiday than I did on my Big Bore 😂 Not everything in life is calculated by returns nor do people need to justify it . Some people , which I respect , like the value for money Royal Enfield offer . Customising bikes isn”t for everyone 😳
Thank you for taking the time and doing the vids on the big bore kit and all the other mods on your bike. just a quick question and if you covered this in your other vids and I missed, sorry to ask the question again. Fuel Booster Plugs. I'm assuming on a stock bike they would be not point but I wonder if it would serve a purpose if one had Headers and after market exhaust.
Great video! I've gone with the S&S 865 kit as well and really enjoy it. I wonder where you got the decals on the side covers. I haven't had any luck sourcing any.
Great video Michael. A really nice job which is completely in keeping with the style of the original... one question I assume the exhaust system mods will meet current emissions standards for Mot? I have no doubt Craig and the rest of team who worked on it will have a queue of new customers. My only surprise from seeing the earlier episodes is that you didn't have the Nitron Suspension!
Hi David , As I understand it this will have no MOT issues unless they introduce new legislation and back date it . I do like my Nitrons- I have two bikes with them fitted but felt that the YSS would cope easily with what I will probably ask of the bike .👍
Good afternoon sir, another amazing blog with full of information, I have a question for you , can you please tell me where from you bought YSS suspension and the S&S silencer. Regards
Sorry for the delay . I got my YSS from Paul Messenger who runs the Royal Enfield Interceptor and continental GT UK , buy , swop and sell group . Really helpful , knowledgeable and fair prices 👍 The silencers were sourced by the team via the internet 👍
Why bother=cause I can. Why a Royal Enfield Int=cause it a great bike & something different. Bike was originally to be a 750cc so 865 is within reason & motor was over engineered anyway. Leave the 650 badges on. Go looking for T100 & Harley's.
No slip on mine yet 👍🤞 I tried Kings Two Wheel Centre ‘s Big Bore prior to doing mine . I gave that a hard time and it didn’t slip either . Lets see how it goes . If it needs one I will change it 👍
How the Verex 2-2 big bore headers going? HIS 865 is a beauty.I'd have done the clutch at same time but I'm paranoid & would of done it while it's out & I would've bought big bore kit with complete head from Hitchcocks for 3knz.
Look into how the clutch works on these bikes .They cant slip they clamp tighter the more torq put on them !I have never herd any one say that an exhaust causes the clutch to slip on these bikes, sounds like more BS to me!
