What we have here is a somewhat rare find these days, a nearly MINT '84 Interceptor. I purchased this bike from the original owner, whom I've been friends with since the day he brought it home in 1984! I got it off him in 2012 with 16,400 on the clock. Bike has a SuperTrapp full-exhaust and I have the original system, in great shape, in the attic!Other changes:Adj. brake and clutch levers, polishedTelefixx clip-ons, much lower then stock.Braided steel lines on front-brakes, clutch, and rear brake.External oiling system (Amol Precision) for top-end, upgraded cams & rockers.Napoleon bar-end mirrors.Fox Twin-clicker shock, rebuilt last winter.Heavier fork springs.Re-jetted.Original OEM solo cowl.Synthetic suede seat cover w/red stitching.New foam in seat.Amsoil since I've had it, and I believe previous owner ran synthetic. Shortened rear fender. (Have stock one, untouched)I have all the original parts except for the seat cover!!Mirrors and all!The paint on this thing is original & BEAUTIFUL! I polished the lips of the wheels and edges of the spokes, the exhaust canisters, rotors, where the screws hold them on, foot-peg brackets, levers, and the rear brake torque arm. Not to worry if it's done right, it's been my business for 24 years....."The Shining.Just severed on a set of Michelin Pilot ACTIV tires. Less than 100 miles on them, but that will change if this doesn't find a new home quickly, because I'm going to ride it! Now for the not-so-great stuff:L/H fairing has tiny little scuff, shown in pic.R/H side of inner fairing has small bump/crack, also shown in pic.Bike is a bit recalcitrant starting when stone-cold. I went through the carbs when I brought it home, but neglected to go through the choke circuits. My bad. Warm....no problems at all. Bike pulls clean right to 10k. Not that I rev it that high very often. I've been riding for 50 years and have always been, let's say, mechanically sympathetic. That's it for the not-so-great.Bikes runs, shifts, handles, and looks....great!Besides all the original parts, I have a new L/H fairing panel. Remember the scratch???Also a brand new fairing/headlight bracket.Set of white body blinkers. They were on it when I got it, he had new black ones which I couldn't mount up fast enough!New Lockhart-phillips smoke windshield.All this stuff is in attic, if you want, I could unearth the parts and send pics.Reason for selling if it's so very nice? Buying a good friends 1972 Norton Commando, and need the room and more importantly, the money.If you happen to be truly interested in this bike, you can feel free to call me.......973-853-1144that's my home phone.My name is Chris.Thanks for looking, and that's my story and I'm sticking with it! On Jun-27-17 at 14:04:34 PDT, seller added the following information: The text up top says I "severed" on a new set of tires. Obviously it should have read "levered". Also, in the pic of the clutch cover it looks like the pint is chipped off, I can assure you that it isn't! All the paint on the engine and covers looks great.On Jun-29-17 at 09:44:16 PDT, seller added the following information: I also have the original Owners manual, in the pouch it came in, and the original tool kit with all the tools, in it's pouch also, under the seat. And..............The official Honda workshop manual in the Honda loose leaf binder along with a bunch of notes from the original owner pertaining to oil changes, top-end mods, tires, etc. Kind of rare to find all this stuff with the bike.
