1985 Honda Interceptor:

I've had it for something like 15 years now. Had one in High school and picked up this one later on for a song. Around 1999 or so, the once highly desirable Honda "Wunderbike" was nothing more than a squids first, cheap rat ride to be wadded into a guardrail and forgotten. Couldn't let that happen to the first real Superbike mass produced for the street.
I started out nice and simple with a CBR600F2 wheel swap in order to use modern radials and a rear fender tuck.
Then came the 41 MM VF1000F forks and emulators to stiffen up the flexi-flier front end.
Then, a CBR600F2 rear shock resprung and revalved for our weight.
Drove it like that for years. It was a great old bruiser that could put serious miles comfortably under the tires in a day and still show the unsuspecting modern superbike a taillight disappearing around the corner now and then. I loved the old brute and it took me down memory lane to high school and simpler times every time we went for a snort.
Then I parked it and it sat for years.
Then, one day for no particular reason: the modification bug bit hard and the old interceptor was squarely in my way.
Lets have at 'er!
CBR600RR rear swingarm with the unit prolink:

Mounted with a CBR1000RR shock:

Some frame alterations, some swingarm machining, some custom spacers and some custom linkage made the unit prolink swingarm mate up nicely:

And finished with some CBR600RR inner fender and chain guard plastics to protect the shock and other bits.
Then came the NC30 floating front discs (European market only):

Of course, front and rear SP2 brakes had to be fitted also:

Matched to SP2 switchgear, 1/4 turn throttle and masters:

Never did like ground clearance killing cans, nor did I like high mounts (raises C of G) so a GP style exhaust was fabbed that more or less mimics the Ducati DB2 aftermarket design:

And made for probably the meanest sounding first gen I've ever heard short of Fast Freddie hotfooting it around Laguna:

Right at the legal limit for DB at 5000RPM.
Here's an earlier dual pipe version. I like to throw this one up because everybody like sparks!

Now I needed it to look a bit different also. CBF750F headlight (not release in NA market):

I've ridden a couple CBF750F's in the Uk and those euro spec lights will burn the paint right off the damned car in front of you. I had to have them. Plus, they will give the bike an Endurance racer kind of look.
Modify the bracketry:

Then swapped on sme VF1000F side covers for a stock yet "you know something is different" look.
And as it sits today:
