Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Project - Ep.3 The Art of wheel building

The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 project episode 3 has been a while coming and I hope it was worth the wait. I'm still waiting on a lot of parts to be delivered, but in the quest for some fatter tyres, I decided to change the rear rim on the bike. I enlisted the expertise of Chris Willis at Willis Wheels, who in this video takes you through the full process and shares some of his wheel-building secrets.
As part of the change, I fitted some Dunlop Mutant tyres, which I think look the business and they should perform better than the OEM Sports Phantoms.
