The bike has been received, it runs out beautifully. I've spent the day setting it up to my personal height hand desired locations for the pegs, mirrors, handle bar and brake handles. I think I might just fall in love. It is the smoothest motor on a bike I've ever been around. Power comes on fast and pulls hard all the way to the red line. It curves nicely it's not a sports bike but comfortable in the curves. I've been working in adjusting the engine guard as it was tweaked before I got it and I want what I want. Thanks again Paul for your awesome work you rick brother!

very sweet bike ....

 

[Steve83]

Yup, that's one very proud-lookin' Wing owner!

Ok, rode the bike 190 miles today. It got 33 miles per gallon at 65/70 mph. So how is that in comparison?

 

[backyardtrouble]

was that single or double....lots of stop and go or full speed down the interstate...in the wind or against it...lots to consider.

 

[joedrum]

well for 80-81 wings thats pratty much close .. they are very low geared in 5th gear ...but i think it will improve once it gets runnining time on it

 

[CMNrallye79]

It was two up headed into the wind and constant speed on the rain most of the time.

 

[joedrum]

:hihihi: a bit rushed were you guys

 

[backyardtrouble]

i would consider that pretty good, it does need some running time on it, considering that motor has been sitting for a while.
After you run it for awhile and put a 1000 miles on it, drop by and i'll recheck your sync for you...On the House.. :yes:

 

[CMNrallye79]

Well it may be more like 2-3000 miles before I get back in a couple of weeks, but thank you very much!

2 up into the wind at that speed....nothing wrong with that.
