Summary:
1968 ½ Royal Enfield 750 Twin Interceptor Series IA
The 1968 ½ Interceptor Series IA is a rare limited production transition model that paved the way for final version of the 750 twin. The project is a professional quality mild custovation completed in March 2005 and built from a very sound donor.
The appearance was modified to show a modern ACE café style. The bike is comfortable to ride, 100% reliable and starts on the 1st or 2nd kick. It’s powered by a mighty 750 cc long stroke vertical twin with a sound that turns heads, has tremendous torque and the gathers a crowd wherever it’s parked.
Improvements include Boyer ignition to eliminate points hassles, ACE handlebars, Avon Venom X tires, stainless spokes, and stainless hardware wherever possible, maintained are the original carbs, wheels and seat.
A custom crankcase breather system was designed and installed to eliminate the crankcase oil breathing mess.
