    new air filter DNA on my Interceptor

    Can't agree - I cut off the cover of the airbox snorkel so intake air doesn't have to make a right turn to get into filter. That alone made a incredibly noticeable difference in power! Just softened up the glue joint with a heat gun and it sliced off intact so nicely with a paring knife. It...

    RE Tripper Navigation

    Yup, I have to agree. I installed a Tripper with the help of Caffeineracer''s kit, on my interceptor and while it looks great I found it near useless. If you want serious nav equip get a Garmin or other conventional GPS unit. It DOES look great and makes a good clock but sadly, that's about it.

    Interceptor Tyres

    Just for interest sake I weighed the Bridgestone B46 tyre and it weighed a little more than the Ceat with tube and rim strip.

    Interceptor Tyres

    Well Locknut, your explanation of tubeless rims with shoulder vs tube-type needs to be explained more often and to more riders. I've known this forever and especially since the advent of tubeless bicycle tires. My conversion to tubeless Bridgestone b46 is a feel-good experience. And sealing the...

    The GT 650 rear brake pedal is a poor design on an otherwise nice bike. Time to do something about it.

    My boot has slipped off my INT 650 brake "pedal" on a couple of occasions whilst braking - a bit scary. IMHO the "pedal" has to be enlarged somehow. I can find no product other than the Pro-spec Easy Brake from India (Amazon) but they don't ship to Canada and I presume USA either. It looks...

    Interceptor Tyres

    I agree and the BT46, and Bridgestone Spitfire is a good one along with the Shinko 712 for the front.

    Tubeless conversion, anybody done it?

    Seal the spoke nipple area inside with 3m marine sealant. Mine have not had to be topped up yet - in months of riding. Bridgestone makes some nice tubeless tires in the exact sizes

    Can you describe how the mesh cover improves the seat?

    Tubeless conversion, anybody done it?

    Thanks for your response. Can you elaborate a bit? I looked on their website and it doesn't give much detail. Is this simply a pair of wheels with their sealant system already in place or are they proper tubeless without spoke nipples penetrating the rim. Also what size tkc70's did you go with...

    Interceptor rims

    Well thanks for induction! And, of course, we all know the liverpool accent! I knew a Scouser well, intimately in fact, and there was nothing wrong with her! My fave machine of the 25 or more machines I have owned was my 1998 tiger. It was the last year they were carburetted and were...

    Interceptor rims

    Old age, wimp? I may be ruing trading my '21 tiger gt in on the '22 int 650. No where near the protection from the elements and at 71 I definitely feel the elements more! But, there's precious little time to taste all interesting motorcycle flavours out there. Tried a '17 moto guzzi bobber -...

    Interceptor rims

    Hah, so now there's a tooth and nail fairy! Wish this cold weather would abate here in southern Ontario so the roads can get rinsed of salt residue so I can take my new, as yet unridden, int 650 for a hoot.

    First Interceptor ride for a long time

    Yeah, I suggested remapping to the arrogant people at the Triumph dealership - that it seemed to be totally plausible but they chose to gas-light me instead, not even having the courtesy to explain the root cause - which you have elucidated. I had purchased a '17 Guzzi Bobber - it was so bad I...

    First Interceptor ride for a long time

    Geez Tony I wish I knew about these for my '21 Tiger GT which I am in the process of trading in for a '22 Interceptor. The twitchy throttle drove me crazy - it really is annoying at times. Patronizing dealer said it was probably just me or it would smooth out in time! After 57 years of riding...

    What handguards are y'all using?

    So these fit into the bar ends and you can use the weights! Looks great! Is there any reason these wouldn't fit an Interceptor?
