Interestingly many in comments have stated that they have used just high quality silicone gel to make the rim support tubeless tires, following the same method. With less than 1k cost. Any comments.

    Yes, some of the riders in our Tamil Nadu 650 Twins Group have already done it.

    The owner of Way2speed who has done the kit is a friendly chap and owns an Interceptor 650 and has done close to 30,000kms now.

    It's the most effective and in someways better than then ₹15,000 outex kit and less than half the cost too.

    Only limited skilled technicians being available and doing the job properly with patience seems to be a bit of strenuous exercise, but results are worth it and very satisfactory is what riders who done it have said.

    Cheers!

    Yes industrial grade silicone sealant can be used , and u can also individually seal each spoke point with 3m marine sealant. Then u can apply silicone layer or 3m superstrong tape (used for aquarium / tubs) .
    Important point is to clean the surface properly and let things dry for 24hrs .
    Silicone is available at hardware stores.
    Sadly things are all closed[emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

    Last resort is to go to the local market with these photos and try finding there.

    I own an INT650 and want to install cellphone charger v.i.a. accessory jumper plug provided in the headlight. After lot of google search I have not been able to find its "type". Idea is to find the female part of the jumper and connect it with the charger thus not having to connect it directly to the battery avoid messing the wiring. Can someone please help identify it?

    For sure.
    I'm looking to purchase one.. I'm completely sold on the Interceptor after watching the commercial. Damn, RE knows how to market their bikes. I've got my eyes on Ravishing Red.

    Test drive the bike and see for yourself whether the foot pegs cause you any problem or not, if you face some issue then worry about swapping them

    I am however a bit concerned about the foot-peg issue that many owners have mentioned. Since the bike will serve both commuting-to-office & touring duties I wanted to get your feedback on a workaround I just saw on a website.

    Someone swapped the INT650's foot-pegs and associated hardware with the GT650. Here's an excerpt from the article. Link to the original article below:

    Has anyone tried this? Any idea if this might work?

    Thanks.

    Then, I went and swapped the footpegs. Now, this is the easy part. All I did was get the gear shifter lever, the rear brake pedal, and mounting plates and heel plates of the GT 650, and voila, all my problems relating to fowling shins and not being able to grip the motorcycle were gone! Additionally, the new rearset footpegs naturally push your upper body forward.
