I'm getting older and a trike would be terrific. Anybody got an old rear end? I have an 83 and a 85 Aspencade I could convert.

Honda has discontinued the cooling fan switch and mine is bad. Anybody got a spare I can buy?

Thank you, it truly is a very pleasant ride after I put so much work and parts onto it. I meant to keep it but it's just a little too much for me when it's not moving. I've bought an '83 Honda VT750C with 30k miles and am refurbishing it to be my new ride.

38000 miles and well stored and maintained with custom airbrushed murals and hand laid pinstriping. I got it for $800 leaking antifreeze through the exhaust. While I was "in there" I replaced the head gaskets, water pump (Honda pump), timing belts and thermostat as well as all the associated...

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions. I test rode my '86 GL1200 on Thanksgiving day for the first time. Ran and drove perfectly. I've had to store it for winter but it's ready to go in the spring.

Hello, I look forward to learning from those who've gone before me! I just bent all my valves putting my 86 GL1200 heads on wrong by not paying attention to cam position first. Now I'm paying the penalty for that. Live and learn. I was surprised to see that Honda doesn't make that valve...
