Nice!  Like hearing the sound of the thumper.

Is the tank on the intercepter original or an aftermarket?  Think I've seen something similar from India off eBay, but I fear the quality....

The tank is a Constellation copy from India - well spotted.  The quality is ok but the mounting holes were in the wrong place, the tank was dipping down at the front and so I had to drill some new ones.  Importantly though it is a big tank, the tank that came with the motorcycle (not original) was very small and I would be lucky to get 70 miles from it.  Now I get at least 125 miles.
