I did this mod to my royal. I would say that if you are wanting to do this it means you have committed to changing the bike overall. Currently, my bike is running a tad rich so I am going to have to address this soon. However, my intent is to change the whole bike to look nothing like stock and never plan to go back. Something to keep in mind if you choose to do this. Also if you just remove the rear wheel everything does slip out the back. You did great.

Absolutely! No turning back!

I talked to mk designs and the wingman panel bags they did with trip machine would work if you wanted to keep the panel bags I was going back and forth pro's abd cons of each

@thesundayrides Месяц назад

Nice, thank you! No having those side bags is the biggest downside for me of the delete.

Your presentation and comprehensive explanation skills are refreshing. Thanks for sharing the highs AND the lows and including the emotional impact both had on you. We all can connect with the vulnerable honesty you so naturally express. Well done.

Hi Max, I have a question about your tidy tail light in this video. I want to buy the tail light package from Bonvent. I like it has a cover to the frame but I don't like the way it mounts the brake light. There is a gap between the brake light and the cover. I think it makes the tail looks too long. When I saw your video, your tail light seems attached closely to the Bonvent cover. How did you do that? 😅 Would you share what brands you used on tail light, license plate holder, and the rear mudguard? Did you modify the Bonvent cover to fit it? Much appreciate ❤

BTW, the below channel is very informative. For the filter upside down mistake you made, it's mentioned at around 7 minute. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mUtc9l02_Gg.htmlsi=JwBzJz4XDojhe-bA

Hello! Yes, I am more than happy to share everything! If you are in London, let's meet and I will show you. If not - here is what I have - I have a bonvent light and number plate bracket and I have a sold out mud guard. that's it. I mounted it together with no modification. Find me on instagram and I will send you close up pictures

Very well shot and explained! Thank you for all the generous information. The 650 looks neat and amazing! Would love to do the mod on my remapped gt650, but I’m certain I’ll have to have very short filter maintenance. Amazing content!

@thesundayrides 7 дней назад

Thank you very much! How is your remapped gt650 running?

Max, I love the flat tracker handlebars and I'm thinking of this mod for my interceptor. Did you have to drill the handlebars or did the stock switches fit without drilling? Cheers

@thesundayrides 2 месяца назад

Hi Sean! Flat tracker are absolutely fantastic for this bike. Mine are from Baak. Yes, I had to drill the holes, but that's not difficult. You will also need longer clutch and throttle cables.

@nidhins6349 3 месяца назад

Crank air filter must place upwards. Otherwise oil from engine will clog that filter soon. Great job 🔥

@jlrutube1312 2 месяца назад

Thanks for doing this. Now I know to never do this modification. Everyone has their own opinion but mine is that this is a lot of work and expense and headache to achieve something that to me looks no better than stock. Not saying it looks bad. It doesn't. But to me stock looks just as good.

@thesundayrides 2 месяца назад

You are welcome. The point of this video was to provide people with a few insights about this job. It is much more involved than it looks.

@darylwootton5217 3 месяца назад

Great looking modification. I have considered this one myself but think it may be a little beyond my patience level. What did you decide to do with the tools and bag ? Bike looks so good now Max 👌

@thesundayrides 3 месяца назад

Thanks! I know, I was hesitating for a long time and if I knew how difficult it would be, I would never do it. I haven’t found a solution unfortunately yet. I might just attach one back to the half panel on one side.

What are the main advantages of removing the airbox? Are there any disadvantages?

@thesundayrides 3 месяца назад

There are a bunch of very good videos made by true professionals. those who know their shit from personal experience. I am not one of them. I can't answer your question unfortunately. I made it only because I like how the bike looks with the pod filters, but like i said in the video - I did feel that the bike runs better than it was. may be it is a self motivation, but who cares?! it did the trick for me. the disadvantages are: compromise on the water protection, can't fit the side bags, wiring is exposed.

Hi, what did you do with the battery box in the end? Thanks Wayne.

@thesundayrides 11 дней назад

Hi Wayne! After a while, after I bolted it all together the battery seem to hold on in place well. At least after a few months it is still there and doesn't look like it is going somewhere. I wanted to replace the battery with the Lithium one, with a smaller size, there are more options where to fix it. But haven't done it yet.

@saharien Месяц назад

This mod is not worth it in any way; on a fuel-injected motorcycle, there is no performance gain deleting the airbox, on the contrary, you lose performance by losing sensors and adjustment capabilities. Not to mention how those filters will get dirty or the issues with rain… but that being said, your videos are very instructive, and you explain reality well.

@thesundayrides 29 дней назад

Thank you! I know it is controversial, but.. it looks and sounds so good. If I was mainly riding in the rain, i would not do it, but I am a "fair" weather rider. Also, I've seen so many bikes with the airbox delete kit this year at a bike show, that I could not resist the temptation!

@saharien 29 дней назад

@@thesundayrides I think @supergasgas100 meant if it's possible to use the metal covers that come with the original airbox, although my guess is that it isn't possible, even if I don't even own that bike.

Use sandwich bags for your nuts and bolts, and label them with a marker. I made the same mistake on my VRod. What was supposed to be a day job took 2 days. Never again! Very nice bike. Royal and BSA are nice bikes.
