Stop metal-to-metal clunks and protect the frame/stand with the genuine Royal Enfield Rubber Stop — Part No. 148659 (superseded to 148659/B). This small OE buffer sits on the stand assembly and acts as the stopper/bumper when the side or center stand returns to its parked position. Because it’s OEM, the compound, shoulder profile and bore match the factory bracket, so it seats firmly, absorbs impact and lasts longer than generic rubbers.
Fitment is verified on the Interceptor 650 (Euro 4) stand fiche where 148659/B “RUBBER STOP” is listed, and dealer catalogs confirm use on INT650 BS6 as well. The part also appears in the 650 Continental GT parts book (Stands group). Replace whenever your stand hits the frame, the rubber has perished, or you’ve repainted/powder-coated the stand. (Only confirmed models are listed below to keep returns at zero.)

FAQs
Q1. Is this for the side stand or center stand?
It’s the rubber stop used in the Stand Assy, acting as the bumper where the stand meets the stop tab. Check your fiche image to see its position.
Q2. Will it fit my BS6 Interceptor 650?
Yes—dealer catalogs list 148659 for INT650 BSVI; Euro 4 fiche shows 148659/B on INT650 Stands.
Q3. Does it also fit the Continental GT 650?
Yes—the GT 650 parts book (Stands page) includes Product code 148659.
Q4. Is 148659/B different from 148659/A?
/A is superseded to /B. Order by the latest code shown on your VIN fiche/box label.
Q5. When should I replace it?
If the stand bangs the frame, the rubber is missing/hard, or after repainting the stand.
Q6. Any install tips?
Clean the boss, press the bumper fully home; a dab of mild soapy water helps seating. Allow to dry before use.
