Kawasaki Interceptor Cover

[72SSRS]

Hello fellow Interceptor Owners.  I am a proud owner of a 550 Interceptor for a few months now and I am looking for a factory cover for it.  I do realize how scarce they are. But I am still gone try and find one.  I would like to at least see a picture of one and if I cant find one I would get one made eventually because I want a cover that looks factory.  Nothing beats factory tho.  Any help greatly appreciated .   Thanks Chris

I don't believe Kawasaki ever made a cover for the Interceptor...

Chris. Did you ever find some NOS Interceptor carb diaphragms? I bought my Interceptor from the original owner. It came with a cover. The cover is form fitting but appears to be aftermarket as it is all black with orange piping. I have never seen a real Kawasaki Interceptor cover but they may have been available?
In 1973 I bought a 1972 Polaris Starfire racer. I ordered a factory cover for it from Polaris. It came with Polaris TX Starfire printed right on it. To this day I have never seen another. So who knows about the factory Interceptor cover?

Never seen a 550 oem cover myself or have heard of someone seeing one for that matter.....

Chris, if you ever find one, make sure to let us all know and send a picture...

Thanks Guys...  Yea they did make them but I was told they made less of them than the sleds because it didn't come with the sled.  So were in trouble lol .  People had to order or buy one off the shelf at the dealer but as we know they stop making them way too soon BUMMER. http://kawasakitrax.com/kawiforum/Smileys/default/cry.gif   They look just like the invader cover just shorter to fit the Interceptor.  I was told they did not say interceptor on them. Just Kawasaki like the rest.   Beleave me as some have seen my ad on vintage I have been looking hard by putting it on there over and over and over and I will continue to do so but you have to be like that to find rare things. My Interceptor came with a old aftermarket cover and it fits great so if need to be I will pattern off it and make a few.  But I like original stuff that's why I was looking for carb kits too.  So in the future here if I have to make one for me and my buddy in maine.   I will def post a picture and see if you all like and maybe would want one made. Now as far as carb kits I have not found anybody to sell them YET. But they are out there for sure.  Thanks Guys  It will be fun chatting with you guys.    http://kawasakitrax.com/kawiforum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif

The Interceptor cover subject has come up on here before.   I can't seem to find the thread, but I recall the consensus was that Kawasaki never made a cover specifically for the 550.  I have never seen a picture of one, or could find a part number for one.   

I hope I'm wrong!  I'd definitely be interested in a repop cover for my 550!    Keep us posted on your search.

Gixxer6 I will Definitely keep you all posted. I am doing my to best to get an original one and wont stop trying but still plan on making a couple repops.  Got patterns to go by but me and my friend just haven't decided which way to go.    Thanks Chris  http://kawasakitrax.com/kawiforum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif

Maybe interested in one my self, pics would be great. I had posted earlier about covers, my books say numbers are all the same, but the end letter was different. I have 4 covers here, some fit the 550 better than others, but don"t know witch is witch, cause tags are tore off.

Book says “cover”.  There are C,G, I, J, K, M, N, P, R, T and W.  All start with SU1002-.

 The add is still up on VS classifieds???  as of 11 AM EST today.
I tried at 5:40 AM Eastern Time Sunday morning.....sent email. Looks like add was posted around 4:40 AM.
 Never got a response....
Any of you called the guy and know it has been sold?

[DougKauer]

He emailed me and said it was sold.

[rminier]

Hmmm. Did any of you wonder a little bit about this?
 Maybe it's just my suspicious brain.
In my email expressing my interest to buy, I asked a couple questions...nicely
 What I was really thinking was...."What's in the box!??".....yes, he posted a nice picture of the box with the correct Kawasaki part label.....but he said "stored for 20 years"
 Well, these sleds and covers were produced 35 something years ago. Did somebody use it for 10 years...then put it in "the box?"
 Is the cover full of holes from mice living in "the box?"
 Where's a picture of the COVER????what's in the box??!!   

Sorry for the rant....I do hope it turned out well for someone.
