    Hi, yes it looks really exquisite right. I also liked the exhaust.

    I found the images here, prestigiousmotorcycles.com/motorcycles_for_sale/107. It was a 1968 model which was up for sale earlier in South Florida, USA.

    The last image in my post is somewhere in Britain.

    For those who haven't seen this official video, linking here. Love the background score on this one.

    For those who wanna read some more back story of the Interceptor heritage. OD made a nice post. Here goes..

    Royal Enfield Interceptor, the classic roadster of the 60s and 70s that could reach 205kmph - Overdrive
    http://overdrive.in/news-cars-auto/royal-enfield-interceptor-the-classic-roadster-of-the-60s-and-70s-that-could-reach-205kmph/
    The Royal Enfield Interceptor is supposedly the same of the Chennai based motorcycle manufacturer’s first “large displacement” motorcycle in India. - Overdrive


    Cheers!

      How is the tyre performance? I ride 70-30 (70 % city and 40% highways). Within city how is the tyre performance. Anyone encountered any case of tyre puncture when just travelling in a city(home to office and back).

        I haven't faced any issues with the tyres so far in a month of my ownership

          No problem with me either, its been seven months and 3000 km on odo, mostly ride once a week ( 80-110km), tried 500 km once that's all. never did of road but had tried some bad roads. Never noticed anything, i never checked my Tyre pressure till now, it feels as it was on day one.a friend of mine had a puncture once (Mysore - Bangalore highway) . check with bulu biker that guy had covered, i don't know may be 15 or 20k km he should know well. but i really worried about if i encountered one in the middle of nowhere, hope RE launch alloys soon.

            Actually this is better option , I personally use this for my and also you can take it with you on touring.

              Though most of you already knew how to do it, here i have made a small video, again in both English and Hindi on how to make changes to your rear suspension preload settings. Would be helpful for someone who doesn't know how to do it.[emoji1317][emoji1317][emoji1317]

                  Snap jack, moto jack , revex stand. These are the things you need to look for accordingly to the weight of the motorcycle. Moto jack comes with different weight ratings revex is economical option but don't know about the weight ratings but it can handle something like a Dominar.
                  Revex is sold by instamojo if i am not wrong.

                    Chances are they all are manufactured in same factory too .
                    There are few which can be used with Benelli's which are well usually over 200 kgs so should work with RE Twins.

                      Thanks mate , keep on coming. may be i think you need camera man.

                      I had placed mine on the third position after first service, felt much confident after, especially while leaning, but started to feel pot holes bit more. Only very few people had made such adjustment suspension even though they all are really spirited riders . did u adjusted pre load on your bike?

                      Halogen to LED

                      Will there be any legal issue if we change factory recommended Halogen head light to LED? many have already changed but red some blogs regarding cops charging some. i kind of really like those white and blue light.

                        Yes i have also adjusted the preload, tried the 2 stiffest point but now using the very first as i am only 64kgs.
                        Finding a camera man would be tuff [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
                        For led try to use Amber light not the white one to being on the safe side.

                          Has anyone ridden their bikes without the exhausts? If so, how loud does it gets? It's a good way to reduce 10 kgs and i don't like the look of them either
