    1. LED headlamp
    2. Better tail lamps.
    3. Alloy wheels coz I hate the tubes.(the showroom person actually said that the tyres are actually tubeless with tubes put under them. So actually just getting the alloys should be enough).
    If you still haven't procured 3., then take a look at below video! Aftermarket alloys always hit or miss unless it's not coming from official RE factory.

    Aftermarket alloy on RE just snaps and breaks own it's own without any external impact of force.


    Hope it helps!

      Thanks for the video kiran, hope it educates new and fellow riders about safety and quality standards.
      It also shows the benefit of wearing flip flops while riding😀. He is lucky it snapped at slow speed, otherwise god knows what could have happened at high speed.

        That's scary! Thanks for sharing. After seeing this video I have dropped idea of alloys on my interceptor. I will live with spokes and tube tyre combo! However spokes are also not safe... Back in 2001 I purchased Pulsar 180 from first lot had loose spokes and my bike used to shake a lot as soon as I used to raise speed. Finally Bajaj replaced my wheel for free!

          Yes, but again not all alloys are bad and built equal, like with car aftermarket alloys we have so many bullet proof brands(Momo, Neo, AVA, HR, Plati etc etc) and then we have so many other local ones which do replica alloys whose quality is debatable.

          Sadly for bikes there is no such concept of aftermarket wheel brands, if one can swap the just the Rear 18inch wheels from the Thunderbird X onto Interceptor that should be solid enough quality and perfect fit in size, sadly for Fornt TBX has 19inchers, if RE should come up with official 18inch wheels with same design as an accessory then problem solved.

          Spokes will be dirt cheap to maintain as long the tensioner screws are checked with TLC periodically, even if we have to replace a bad spoke stick or to fix a bent rim, it'll costing just ₹100-200

            I was checking out some of the accessories on the RE site for my INT and noticed some new categories listed. It looks like RE is planning for some electrical accessories there is a wheel subsection too. Fingers crossed!

              Hey Jawed,

              Thanks!

              Where did you source Handle bar risers from?

              I got touring kit from Zana, in fact received just yesterday. I shall install it coming weekend. Hoped if I could add handle bar risers too.

              Thanks.

                  This is good but where the hell is our Motorcycles , they are delaying the deliveries. What will be the purpose of launching the alloys when there are Motorcycles to deliver.

                            Just go to the RE showroom and ask for alloys from the ThunderBird 350X

                              Thunderbird 350X can't be fitted in interceptor.
