The mods are truly amazing and will love to do on mine as well. But first I need to get the machine and a dream which is yet to be fulfilled. By the way, observed that the disc brakes at front also been changed. Isn’t it ?
I always believed that at least the ContiGT should've come with 17" wheels from the factory given its racer ideology, love to see how it played out in these mods🔥❤️
The video needs "Before-After" comparisons of: 1) weight of OEM spoke wheels/tires vs. alloy wheels/tires 2) weight of OEM exhaust vs. Trident exhaust 3) sound of OEM exhaust vs. Trident exhaust 4) *full profile* view of sitting position with OEM handlebar/pegs vs. set-back pegs and Renthall bars.
Would love to see an interview with joshua about the 17" alloy wheel conversion. That and the suspension are motorcycle changing mods, elevating a great budget bike into a great bike.
If motorcycling is a subject (as in academics) then Bikewale RU-vid channel is the top most Indian Institute of Motorcycling and Mr. Vikrant Singh is the Professor Emeritus of that institute. This channel showcases what motorcycling is all about in its truest form and essence. Need more of these mod case-studies, professor.. Thank you. 🙏🙏
Vikrant ji u sound like john Abraham.. listening you is a treat to ears... Salute to camera man.. what a work excellent... liked the shaky effect too..
Love that bike build, very similar to what I wanted after riding mine but cost wise dissuaded me forcing a very early sale... The argument for "it's better to buy performance than build it" (unless of course you have very deep pockets) is what I'll be gravitating to from now on. But, many have fallen and will fall in love with it's classic roots and you can't blame them .
Love the name Deadpool. Absolutely agree with all the changes made. Would love to see a Powertronic ECU and mods moving the foot controls as well as the pillion footpeg forward
Absolutely well presented with clear diction and pronunciation. Very mature mods for a mature motorcycle. I would definitely go for these mods when I get this machine.
Good detail. The videography is good. I saw someone has commented about the lens being soiled. In fact, I liked it because somehow those spots on the lens further adds to the rustic appeal and retains the old school theme this bike is. I think you missed (or decided not to) mentioning about the brake rotors. All mods look good except I don't get the point of resizing the tyres. Or unless maybe I am missing something. With the stock being 100/90-R18 at the front.. the new size give you a front overall rolling differential (O.R.D.) of -51mm and with the rear stock being 130/70-R18 the rear O.R.D. sits at -27mm. This means, there is a massive speedo under-read and is way beyond acceptable O.R.D. tolerance differential of +/-9mm. Regardless you are not concerned about odometer calculations in the long run. I understand the reasons for pulling in the new size: 1. Tyre options, 2. Comfort, 3. Maneuverability etc, And with that being installed along with upgraded rotors, it is meant to offer better braking performance - that’s pretty obvious.
Thanks Diganta. Change is tyre size was to go down to 17 from 18 to improve the agility or turn-in response of the motorcycle - apart from the fact that 17 give more tyre options. As for speedo reading, the smaller over rolling circumference makes the speedo over read now, not under read. And no, I am concerned about a few extra kilometres in the odo as a result.
Hi sir..sir can u please tell me the exact size or name of the handlebar dat u put on ur interceptor..i know its of "renthal" but i want exact specifications so i can put it on to mine..as i hv to order it online..so there r chances dat i order a wrong one..by d way its really an amazing video with complete information..sir
What an excellent video! This bike is so beautiful and the modifications you made are absolutely make sense. What do you think about the big-bore kit (865 cc)? Many greetings from Germany!
Just perfect.. I always thought of these issues and took step back from buying one. The foot peg issue was the biggest one. Spoke wheels the second. One more I would like to add on to these mods, is the Stinger 2 in 1 exhaust made in the UK. Never liked the stock exhaust look.
The only problem being sourcing out all the parts and finding the guy who can actually do the perfect job. I wish RE showrooms could give all the possible customization options as per the likings of the masses.
i have been reading the comment section to see answer to only one question " does the abs work with the tire mod?" Its just that i dont want to lose such safety feature on a bike capably of 130 + speeds. pls reply
Hello Mr. Vikrant, Initially I thought it is a mere cosmetic mods but oh boy modifying suspension and wheels from spoke to alloys and tube tyre to tubeless was really brilliant and must have taken lot of thinking, work and pain. I have seen videos where aftermarket alloys have broken causing accident so in that regard what precaution you have taken? Modifying foot pegs was also equally important as this has been sore point reporter by many owners and test reviewers. Last but not least very interesting work, may be if RE can take clues, be professional and implement in the production?
Thanks Vikram. As for the alloys... one has to be careful. One can’t go braking hard into a ditch repeatedly and ask that the alloys stay intact. Having said that, it would take extreme circumstances for the alloy to crack. So if one is mindful about the type of wheels one is running, it should be okay.
Nice choice of mods…great presentation. 😊Can u share few details on the contoured front disc rotor please… performance..availability and pricing. It definitely adds value I believe.
Saw ur bike at the service center and loved the wheels. So posted a pic on the group to see who was the owner and reached here ... Nice work.. What was the cost involved to get the wheels setup
It's nicer upgrade than the new 2021 interceptor as we all were expecting at least alloy wheels and tripper navigation from the new model. By the way can I use the front fender extension in my upcoming CB350 RS? Any jugad?
Your Modification was great but I would bet on Pirelli or Michelin tyres.. also the headlight part needed some modifications too !!! With Hjg or similar kinds of fog lights!
Ive done the ton 2 up with 170kg between me and the pilion i didnt have any suspension issues. I did with my 07 Triumph Bonneville though and it was one of the first mods i did on that bike from almost brand new. I modded the Trumpy with IKON front and rear suspension. Its quality Australian made and a lot cheaper the YYS or ohlins. You should keep things in prespective as its not going to do over 200kph is it?. It won't be racing Ninjas, Gixxers or Ducati's will it?. I know they are detunned big time and full head work can increase numbers across the power range but thats another day for most. On the RF 650 i did the cans,a boostet plug, Motor scratch guard, the same wind shield, The fork gaters, The low engine bars, Ide like to get a better rear brake master cylinder as the stock one looks like its full when its empty as the diaphram gets sucked down in it. I think also the foot shift leavers ide like cast or billet alloy styled ones. Some things i won't bother with till they mal function, Wear or break. This bike does well over the 140kph which is loss of licence so i don't nees to do that now i know what its got. It picks up good and has great highway passing power to get around trucks quickly. Thats all i want. It pulls up well and has the slipper clutch so no mods required there. IKON is about $800 AUD front and back just do the work yourself. Thats a out half the price of YYS, I believe this was emotional spending on your part as its way overkill for this bikes capabilities as is Ikon but at least its half the doe.
Vikrant bhai Sunday ko badhiya sa video aaraha hai na, pichli baar Sunday koi video nehi tha 😤 , avi jo petrol price dekh k electric scooty k liye soch rahe aap ek activa jaisa dumdar scooty konsa kharidna rahega batayega, avi ev related koi policy nehi ara aur ather 450x toh bahut jyada maang rahe 😑, kya karega insaan
Hi Vikrant, have seen this video multiple times :), love the mods you've done on your bike, they're classy, tasteful and functional, just the way I like. Regarding the wheels and tires, has this resulted in a loss of ground clearance and what kind of speedo errors are you getting with this mod? I've recently picked up a Baker Express Inty 650. Wheels and tires are something that I am actively thinking of upgrading/modding. Cheers.
I'm running 17" rims on my Continental GT and it's SO much better than the stock 18"s I haven't found a good alloy option for the front rim though, running a custom 17" spoked aluminium rim on the front by DismoTech. It's tubed but still researching what I can find for the front end in alloys. The rear was surprisingly easy though. Meteor 350's rear alloy is a straight fit for the twins 🤷🏻♂️
Modification are good when they work. But often times they don't last as much as the stock set up. And more over its difficult to get the required spares and service from authorized dealer once you modify this heavily.
Every thing is perfect. I am also Deadpool Owner. I. Agree with front YSS suspension is useful and leave the rear as it is.. Can you tell me about Silencer whether it's legal or not. Police wale dur se haath uncha kar dete he sound se.. Sound is so nice want to add soon so asking you . 🙏
Any suggestions for headlights? I know after market headlights are there but their design so far does not gel with the machine. Any new mods for headlights if you have tried, I am curious to know.
i m a new subscriber and i cud understand the quantum of passion u hv towards this machine. stay blessed. cud u pls let me know where to get the YSS front suspension? i m based in chennai
Hi have you played around with the emulator up front? Also do you remember the air gap specification / oil quantity after the mod? I’ve done the yss mod both front and rear and used 20w liquimoly oil. I’ve felt the bike feel more planted but it’s way too harsh on potholes despite preload all the way down to zero. So I’m trying to eliminate the probable causes like too much oil/ wrong grade/ wrong air gap/ emulator needs some tweaking. Any pointers from your install experience would be genuinely appreciated. Cheers 🥂
