I added mirror mount extensions so now I can actually see traffic behind me. Fork adjustable preload caps. Dialled in front suspension nicely. Tapered washers to straighten out left footpeg out to 90 degrees. You have added some nice mods though. Fly screen great, I went tall. Stedi do a nive LED H4 replacement globe too so I can actually see at night. I have same clock too.

Nice video well done, however the only mods I personally would go along with are the dial protectors and the clock/watch which I have and find very useful on trips. Most mods are for looks or personal preference, not always sensible.. but it's not my money so whatever floats your boat. For me the mod which stands way way above anything else is the YSS suspension upgrade.. massive improvement!

Maybe a yellow H4 bulb for the lamp could be a thing? Give it even more retro feel in the front. You probably don't ride much after dark, more in the rain and fog since Britain. Maybe even the black mesh you can get for the headlamp.

I went for the Motone tank pads as they thicker than Trip Machine one's. I also got the Trip Machine Suede seat but probably not the best idea in UK unless with vinyl cover.Also got me a Trip Machine Messenger bag & love it but only got one for right hand side as left hand side has grab lever that's in way but bag still mounts but sticks out further. I got Grip puppies as they slightly thinner that Trip Machine grips.

Nice choices. My first mod was to sack the stock seat and get RE's premium saddle. Much better. DNA air Filter was next, which seems to make throttle response a little smoother and definitely adds another note or two to the engine sound. Currently looking at Hitchcocks low pipes, classic look and a bit more pannier space.

The first thing I changed on my Royal Enfield interceptor was the horrible seat. I got the two tier gel saddle 144. Handlebar grips that you show are $35 US. You can buy heated grips for 57! That's what I got. 40 mm handlebar risers. 14 bucks. Large engine guards I forget how much they cost not much I welded 1-in stainless foot pegs and put on a thick pair of bicycle grips on then moved the controls up to make it a heel shifter and a heel brake. Much more comfortable! I had the little fly screen actually the large little fly screen but it didn't do squat. There's a windshield a full windshield called the ranger check it out. Fits like a glove and not OJ's glove either. The headlight is pretty dim I got the Royal Enfield LED. I don't like Brazilian tires they're unsafe. Got a set of real michelin's not cheap. The battery is also junk so I got a gel battery. Also got the tank guards same ones. Bar end mirrors and hand protectors. So I built a cruiser before they even did with the super media cruiser and I think mine's better and probably cheaper!

Just picked up your vids from collecting the Inteceptor. So many people can't be wrong! My days riding (and driving) are over unfortunately (illness), last bike was a '99 600 Fazer, bought new (silver, decals removed, I loved it), but the Interceptor would be the one if I was going to go for it again. I'd definitely set about liberating some more power - intake, exhausts, piggy-back ECU mod (a win in every way as far as I can see - sounds better and the remap richens it up so it runs cooler), maybe even a 750 kit (not the 865, that's got to rob it of the smoothness people talk about). One thing bro, I always went into neutral waiting at lights for more than a few seconds, saves wear'n'tear on the clutch mech.

Did numerous mods, probably too many. Heated grips, engine bars and a touring seat. Performance air filter sounded great, also fitted booster plug but did nothing for performance.
