Royal Enfield Interceptor Series IA 1968 1/2 US Export Model

360 look round this newly refurbished motorcycle. Originally despatched from the Enfield Precision Engineers Underground Works at Upper Westwood, Bradford-on-Avon 21/8/68 to Clymer-Munch (Floyd Clymer) for the 1968 LA Show. Reimported by Allan Hitchcock in 2013. It is now fitted with Indian drum brake forks mated with the disc brake conversion kit & wheel. This allows the re-use of two the original three stays & mudguard. Other mods:- Oil Cooler assembly, modified rocker oil feed line, Pazon Electronic Ignition, 200W High Output Alternator, AREG Regulator/Rectifier (mounted in old Zener position) & BNR chain type wet Clutch (all parts supplied by Hitchcock's M/Cs Ltd., except for the electrics via Paul Goff). Rear guard carries my own design "Interceptor" logo, adapted from the 1967 advertising pamphlet. The Petrol Tank is from a 1967 GP7 Model Interceptor & is due for exchange with the pukka chrome/red speed stripe tank soon. I run .002 thou valve clearances on all four valves to begin with, so is a little more rattley than is usual.
