RIG: Royal Enfield Interceptor - SCRAMBLER BUILD • Part 3 of 4

[@luisaugustobf]

WHAT A GORGEOUS MOTORCYCLE

[@RustisGoldGarage]

Thanks so much. And thanks for watching the channel!

[@jacksonmanteit8708]

I’m doing the exact same, the Himalayan front end bolts right in. Brake lines, abs, speed sensor an the all important 21” wheel

[@RustisGoldGarage]

I think that’s the best approach. Wanted to try using the stock wheel just for the cost to keep the budget down. But it definitely needs the 21”. Thanks for watching!

[@jacksonmanteit8708]

It’s a wicked video series. It’s looking good though! Parts out of India are pretty reasonably priced. Not sure if shipping cost to USA but to Australia is well cheaper than local dealerships unfortunately.

[@alan_2056]

Yes, a complete Himmy front end would work fine, but would be costly. Lacing a 21" wheel and figuring out a fender are much easier.

[@RustisGoldGarage]

I think you are right@@alan_2056. Next video sort of wraps it up and gives cost breakdown. Thanks for watching!

[@BlackdogADV]

Will there be a part 4 of 4? I’m thinking of something similar but I want a 19” front wheel.

[@melvinpreston3091]

Such a cool project! Can’t wait to see the final result. Also love motopia! That’s where I got my Hunter 350, sadly only had my bike for about a week before it got stolen lol

[@RustisGoldGarage]

Man, sorry to hear that. They’re great guys over there. Thanks for watching!

[@manormouse1410]

I guess part 4 isn`t out yet? We are all keen to see a complete Himalayan front end

[@RustisGoldGarage]

It’s coming! I promise. Lots of projects going on right now. But it’s coming soon.

[@lalalalith2k481]

wow,really cool vid

[@RustisGoldGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@alan_2056]

Prices of 650 front hubs have gone way up, if you can find one for $100 grab it. Also ebay is full of 21" aluminum rims (stock are steel) I'll be lacing a 650 hub to the alum 21" more info when I have it.

[@RustisGoldGarage]

I think I'm going the lacing route. Let me know where you get your spokes from. I think it's a more practical approach.

[@alan_2056]

Stock steel 1.85x21 Himalayan front wheel ERD is 20.549"

[@RustisGoldGarage]

@@alan_2056 Keep us updated. I want to try that route.

[@jamesfairmind2247]

I am just about to do the same thing but tell me, why did you not just fit an entire front end from a Himalayan? 21 inch wheel and all? Thats what I am doing and am just upgrading the forks with Andreani internals tuned for the 650 and my weight. Also upgrading the front calliper/master cylinder to a Brembo. All easy stuff to do. Rear shocks more of a problem, but YSS do a custom extra long shock or I will use the Triumph Ohlin (OEM only) 200mm shocks for the 1200 XC.

[@RustisGoldGarage]

That sounds like an amazing build. Post some pictures when you get a chance. Didn’t do the complete front end initially because it was supposed to be a budget build. I will end up doing the entire front end with a Himalayan 21 inch wheel. Thanks for watching and I will have a follow up video here shortly.

[@maskedmoto8170]

I did this mod about 3 years ago and then did a full on swap of the moving parts with a Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC :) . I've uploaded the videos of the build here

[@RustisGoldGarage]

Ill have to take a look! Thanks for watching.

[@shaunmaertens-colyer7962]

OMG I really want to do this , great video!!

[@RustisGoldGarage]

It wasn’t that hard, and really was a blast to do. Thanks so much for watching and sharing.

[@azizulzulzaha]

Royal enfield needs a street scrambler!

[@RustisGoldGarage]

Yes they do! Thanks for watching.

[@KKPR533]

Yup, and thats been going through test rides both in India and Euope...hope they will launch it by end of 2024

[@alan_2056]

I'd love to know if Himalayan hubs are the same as the 650 and stock 21" wheel and spokes will lace up. If not I hope Buchannon has a part number for a 21" spoke kit for a 650 hub/Himmy rim.

[@RustisGoldGarage]

Let me know what you end up doing. Would love to hear from others doing that 21" wheel conversion.

[@alan_2056]

Himmy hubs are not the same as 650. Himmy brakes won't work with 650 forks. Continental GT 535 hubs seem the same as 650 (I have not measured to confirm) and they're cheap. Same bearings, seals and center spacer, BUT they use a slightly smaller OD, 6-bolt brake rotor not a 5-bolt rotor like the 650, so just redrill your stock rotor, bolt it up and ride.

[@porkoholic]

What about the rear suspension? You got to have more travel there... Please do something about it and post soon 👍

[@RustisGoldGarage]

It’s coming! Thanks for watching.

[@johnk7814]

Why don't you put in a YSS fork kit made for the Himalayan ....then you have a better spring with preload adjustments

[@RustisGoldGarage]

That’s a great idea, and one we thought of. But remember this is a budget build and we’re trying to see what we can do within a certain budget and still have a decent handling Off-road bike. Thanks for watching and really appreciate the input!

[@KKPR533]

650 scram is just around the corner, lots of spyshots coming out

[@RustisGoldGarage]

Can’t wait to see it.

[@abhilash4976]

Can you please tell us if you used the pump rod from himalyan as well ?

[@RustisGoldGarage]

Yes, I did. But I am going to swap the entire front end with a Himalyan front end, the Interceptor wheel is too small. Need that 21"

[@axd_music]

Where's part 4?

[@RustisGoldGarage]

Man, I’m trying, haha. I have a big update on the front end. Busy with dirt bike builds and the coffee shop (Rust is Gold Coffee). But it is coming I promise.

[@jacksonmanteit8708]

What footpegs are you running?

[@RustisGoldGarage]

KTM Adventure 390 pegs. I’ll talk about those in the final episode. Thanks for following!

[@jerrettmartin]

Wait why you beat that poor little Yamaha when you got this to rip the trails on?

[@RustisGoldGarage]

That little Yama is a blast! But yeah, Enfield is going to get its turn as well. Was just thinking about taking it out next time we head out.

[@terryshrives8322]

Why not just buy the Himalayan for fuck sake

[@RustisGoldGarage]

Have ridden one? There's a HUGE power difference between the 650cc and the 411cc.

[@TobotronPrime]

Personally, I think this bike looks absolutely horrible - search sold out motorcycles and look for their "mudslinger" build - that's a pretty scrambler build!

[@RustisGoldGarage]

Hey Bud (@TobotronPrime ) sorry you feel that way. Thanks for checking it out anyway, you have a fantastic day!

[@TobotronPrime]

guys I’m glad you like it, I would hate a world where we all agree on everything - I just don’t like it myself but that’s just me; I’m picking one up next month, going for the Brat Tracker finish They are lovely bikes!

[@RustisGoldGarage]

Would love to see it. Please share the process/progress - here with us.

[@alan_2056]

The Sold Out Scrambler isn't my taste but that bash plate and gas cap need to be available for purchase on their site.
