Might as well try and match the factory finish. Does anyone know whether the Honda OEM exhaust paint was flat, semi-gloss or glossy?

I'm reassembling my '76 Wing forks and have run into a conundrum. Clymer says to use 5.6 - 6.1 US oz. and does not specify an air gap. I cross referenced that with Randakk https://www.randakksblog.com/removing-stiction-from-gl1000-front-forks/ who specifies 6.6 - 6.9 US oz. after a full...

I'm short one "Ring, Back Up" which is a large washer placed underneath the fork seals on a '76 GL1000. It's #4 on the diagram and part #51412371003. My measurement is OD 42mm and ID 38mm. The closest I've found the Honda OEM part is in the Netherlands. It seems this washer protects the...

In '74 I was riding a '72 Kawasaki 500 H1B (2-stroke triple, 60hp). The power to weight ratio compared to a CB750 was greatly in my favor. I blew them away regularly and with ease. About that time I rode to a Lynnrd Skynnrd concert in Mobile, Alabama with a 165 pound passenger. On the return...

Due to some heavy handed wrenching and 25 year old gas in my '76 I've broken off a support for the float on #3 carb. I see a #3 on EBay but for a '77. Can anyone confirm the carb bodies between '76 and '77 are fully interchangeable? PS Found this Float Post Repair Kit on Randakk's website...

Hello everyone. I've lurked a slight bit and see there's plenty of good people and information to be had here. I'm a life long rider having begun circa 1973 at age 15. I've ridden continuously since then and have a growing collection especially since Covid hit. Since March of 2020 I've...
