Welcome to the forum, definitely a different kind of Honda, but the heads come off without pulling the motor :mrgreen:

Thank you all for the warm welcoming! I have a couple issues to deal with on this bike first a carb rebuild. It doesnt have any power unless the choke is half way out, i pulled and cleaned the carbs (they were dirty) Checked timing ( it has electronic ignition) adjusted vavles and sycronized the carbs still needs choke. So i'm assuming i have a vacum leak some where. Looking at the master kit from Randaks, anyone have feedback on their kits? Thanks

If the intake to head O rings are flat from age they can leak as well as the throttle shafts.

Welcome to the forums! So from the looks of your stable, you'll be going bobber or cafe with this Wing? I've seen so awesome examples of both.

Going to keep pretty much stock. This bike will be my two up cruiser for the wife and i to take on long rides. Allways loved the look of these early wings withuot all the fairings, and mine is naked as well. Going to make her run well then, just a good clean and polish
