I don't give a rip about Honda's copyright of the name.  That may prevent RE from using it, but I can put anything I please on my own bike.  I could paint "Ford" or "John Deere" on it and nothing they could do.

My sentiments exactly!

Thanks for finding these. This is exactly what I planned to do when I get mine.......though I might have a friend pick them up in India if he has room and if they are substantially less $. Either way, totally agree, the INT 650 decals are bogus.

I don't know where Honda gets off with their copyright of the Interceptor name.  Royal Enfield Interceptors were iconic "bikes to have" back in the late 60's.  There were those, Triumph, BSA, and Norton.  Of course there were also Harleys, but the big Harleys were considered "old fart" bikes and the Sportster was only 900cc but the twins mentioned would all out-handle them and out-perform them.  No jap bike had even showed up yet except wimpy little bikes.  The Interceptor name is iconic.  It actually pisses me off that Honda stole it ... well as far as I'm concerned they stole it and don't deserve it.

I'm with you.  I want the Interceptor logo on mine. I saw these decals a while back on Ebay. They disappeared for a while but are back up.

I also want to get the side covers painted orange to match the tank.

I am pimping out my Interceptor step by step. 

I have a polished alloy front fender on the way.

I have a set of chrome alloy wheels to run tubeless tires on the way.  They aren't exactly the style I would like but they are literally the ONLY alloy wheels for an Interceptor that are available.  I spent 6 months searching before I found Ryan Cost.  I am having them powder coated in Super Chrome because I think they look disgusting in black.

I know some of you (maybe most) will think they are butt-ugly and even I am partially in that camp.  But I refuse to constantly worry about having to crawl around in the dirt for two hours to change out a punctured tube just because RE is too stubborn to make tubeless wheels available.  I am not willing to wait for a year or two, maybe longer, maybe forever for RE to finally pull its head out of its butt and make decent wheels available.  If they EVER do, and if I like them more, I will switch then.

And about this time next year I plan to have the tank painted in candy apple red with a large air brushed "Royal Enfield" logo that will look like metal letters.  Pic below is idea of what the contrast will look like   May also have the side panels painted to match.  Here is a vid of the candy apple red. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ9pIAHrmXQ

How are those eBay side covers held on ? The right side does not appear to have a place for thr lock .

[Tuchulcha]

Those are dope as hell.  Now I have to have them.

  The lower metal stamping with the lock is transfered from the old cover. I bought a pair for my bike off e-bay like the look much better.

You can also buy the covers along with the lower metal portions on Ebay ... for close to $200.00

Being able to get just the covers with "Interceptor" on them saved me a big hunk of change.  I am going to have my tank repainted, and was also going to have the side covers repainted with "Interceptor" on them because I just cant stand "Int 650".  Now I don't have to have the side panels repainted.

For those who DO give a rip about Honda's trademarking (not "copyright") of the "Interceptor" name, here is a link to an entry for it in the USPTO's  Trademark Electronic Search System  (TESS): http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4803:i868v9.6.2

For more information on trademarks, see: https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks-getting-started/trademark-basics.

Remarkably, the "Interceptor" trademark is actually currently registered, or "live", for no fewer than 43 different products, including some device that presumably sorts poop from other sewage...So, wear those new sidepanels proudly!

[darmahman]

My set are "on the way"!  Thanks for the tip!

[jimku]

Well, as far as I'm concerned, Honda stole the name and their "Interceptor" doesn't look anything like an Interceptor. 
I will proudly thumb my nose at Honda.

[jimku]

They are here already, but they sent them signature required and I wasn't home, so now have to go pick them up.
