I'm getting it tomorrow morning.

Were the 1st Gen 500cc Interceptors also prone to the issues with the rockers and cam lobes?

 

Very nice! Had one just like it...brings back memories.

 

From what I have read, only the 750's, not the 500's or 1100's.

 

One bike? That's like having only one pair of socks.

 

Wow, what a clean bike for the year! I bought and sold a few bikes back in the late 80's/early 90's, and flipped an Interceptor 500 at one point to make a few bucks. I wish I'd kept it, along with a couple of the RD's that sell for stupid money now.

 

I am sorry the title "I'm getting it tomorrow morning" sounds like the perpetual promise of my married life.

Nice bike that. I thoroughly enjoyed mine but I needed something a tad bigger to haul my bulk around.

 

It's better in the morning anyway.

 

If you get up real close you WILL see some scratches and chips, it's not showroom but yeah it definitely is clean.

 

I got lucky with the white paint which is a perfect match, I used it on my old white beater Sable earlier this year, very tough, more like a high gloss coating than a paint. Found it at O'Reilly's and assume they all carry it. It is 'Dupli-color sandable automotive primer' (DAP 1689 white primer) and 'Dupli-color acrylic enamel multi-purpose coating' (DA 1670 gloss white). Used it on the tank and lower cowl. Also had good results with 'Dupli-color engine enamel with ceramic' (DE 1613 gloss black) on the mirrors, kickstands, and chain cover.
