Aftermarket CNC Levers installation | INTERCEPTOR 650

On the path to customise my motorcycle according to my liking, here's a small video of installing aftermarket levers on my Interceptor 650. This is a realtively simple task and will take you approximately 10-15mins tops.
I got these levers from K-Speed.net (Link below)
They costed me 1800THB (~4k INR)
They are compatible with both Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650.
Now that I have installed these, I will definitely make a review video on them in the future. Can't do one now because lockdowns. For now they feel great and sturdy and don't have a lot of wiggle in them as opposed to the OEM ones. Which were rather flimsy.

Pro Tip, try to make it look like you're getting it as a gift from a friend, else good luck paying double the amount on customs. 💔

​@@SrinivasGanesh Hi Sri. How do you make it look like a gift from a friend to avoid double the duty?

[@WWAPDD]

Hey Sri! I have an interceptor as well and I feel like the handlebars are a little far for my comfort riding long. I'm not as tall as you but avg sized. Would you recommend me swapping the OEM for the Himalayan bars? Would they be a tad bit easier to reach?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Get handlebar risers. The stock and Himalayan handle bars are almost the same.

[@WWAPDD]

Hey Sri! Would you say it makes the clutch feel any lighter? or is it the same strength and just a cosmetic upgrade?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

It has become lighter.

[@capitanbetosax]

Hi, nice video. How can you know if de sensor on the clutch works properly witn the new levers? Whats the function of that sensor switch? Thanks and greetings from Argentina.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Basically clutch switch helps you start the motorcycle in any gear. If it is faulty, or extremely dirty, then you won’t be able to do so. And you will have to come down to neutral to start your bike.

[@Yashp097]

Hey Srinivas. Great video explaining how to install CNC Levers step by step. Which type of grease you using? Thanks!

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Thank you for watching the video. I was using a local grease which the mechanic recommended. Doesn't cause any harm or create a muck. But later on, I started to use Lithium grease. And now I've let go of everything and using a clutch cable by Venhill. All Teflon coated. No lube required for a long time.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Making a video on clutch cable installation today. Will be posting it in the coming week.

[@Yashp097]

Thanks for the feedback! Can’t wait for your next video to drop.

[@joelrakshith2049]

Sir i just wanted to know how much would indian custom charged you to get them imported? And how smooth is that process and how long did it took you to get them imported to india?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Product will arrive in 2 weeks. Customs will depend on the weight and value of the item you've ordered. Check the comments, I have replied to this question somewhere :)

[@dudefromcbee]

Hi Sri. Did you also change the clutch cable after installing the levers? Or any specific adjustments to be made? Has this reduced pull effort? Any plans to change the actuator?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

I have a video ready for a different clutch cable. Will release it soon. And these levers only made engaging the clutch more comfortable for me, due to my large hands, and the habit of engaging the levers with 2 fingers. This makes it very comfortable to do so as it is adjustable.

[@dudefromcbee]

@@SrinivasGanesh Yes, that's why wanted to know more about the cable and the actuator... Levers help in easier reach given that it is adjustable. But with a cable or more importantly the actuator, it makes the operation even better... There were some suggestions around easy clutch, not sure if it is the right way to go...

[@gowthamvaradarajan9977]

Hi Brother, fan of your work !!! The link which you've mentioned for the levers isn't taking to Kspeed and its not showing. COuld you pls help me with the link to purchase the same please

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Yeah, I checked it myself, it seems the product is out of production and no longer available.

[@Gearoclock]

What are the other Indian brand levers you had considered or compared before this ? P.S : I have a BakerExpress with same black Himalayan handlebars installed. So I’d want black levers too. Cheaper and good quality suggestions please. Thanks in advance

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Thank you for watching the video. I had considered levers from Hitchcock motorcycles and etc-bike parts, prior to going with K-Speed. And here in New Delhi, India, I had a chance to see both those levers in action, so I came to a conclusion that they are all functionally the same exact levers. I also considered going with Amazon, since cheap was also one of my criteria but Amazon does not have one for Interceptor, and the ones that are listed there don't have that many feedback/ reviews. I hope this helps. P.s. Doesn't matter where you order from, you will have to give customs, unless you have a messiah friend who is coming from abroad. :P I hope this helps.

[@samiranroy2245]

Hey Srinivas. I too found the stock levers to be very flimsy and of low quality and I'm thinking of getting these. I have a question. How much duty did you have to pay for these levers? Thanking you in advance.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

you can get a detail break down here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYSqiYGAbNifjtE Also, might want to consider roadpowercustoms.com if you want something similar but don't want to pay customs duty.

[@gowthamvaradarajan9977]

Hello Ganesh, I am going to order this levers for my bike. Does it costed any excise duty as we are ordering out of India product ?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Thank you for watching the video. These will cost you INR 4100. And a customs duty around INR 1800. These are very comfortable indeed!

[@SuperVarun18]

Hi Srinivas..I have a query regarding ordering these levers for my interceptor. I approached K speed, they forwarded me their payment link. So I wanted to ask whether there is a custom charge on it? Also how reliable is the company in dispatching the products?are there any delays etc you faced?

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Hey Varun, I didn’t face any delays. The quality is fantastic, been using these ever since I made this video. No there is no custom charge in it, you will have to pay that once the product comes to your doorstep. Company is pretty reliable and they charge payments via that link only, it’s pretty secure since I never faced any problem. Happy buying! 🍻🙌🏽

[@SuperVarun18]

[@saahilmehta6802]

Was there any custom import charges you had to pay ..... And how long did it take to deliver....

[@SrinivasGanesh]

excellent point. I wanted to cover this point in the video itself, but I was worried that it might end up being too long and people might not like it. To answer your question, it reached New Delhi in 2 days. But took a week to reach my address. And I had to pay like 3k INR customs on this. Which sucked, but I didn't have any option, either loose the 4k in levers, or loose 3k and get the levers. So, lesson learnt is, if you are ordering something online, do check how much customs you'll have to pay. Or the minimum amount in which you are obligated to pay customs.

[@SrinivasGanesh]

Also thank you for watching the video. Much appreciated.

I’ve never messed with the stock parts of any of my vehicles so far!
