What did you do to your Wing today ?

[detdrbuzzard]

i started out in my van but a broken brake line had me creep it back home and park it. i had been neglecting the 1500 wing since getting the mighty ST13 so with the wing warming up i locked up the house. i took Schafer rd. south and then took I-94 east and exited at north river rd. in mount Clemens, mi. and made a stop at gibralter trade center to check on a class and have some patches put on my vest . from there i too I-94 west then 13 mile rd. east and made a right on Jefferson ave. so i could see lake saint Claire on the way to mom's house. once at mom's i gave her the fudge and coffee mug i picked up in mackinaw yesterday, we talked for a couple hours the i left and went to belle isle. from there i rode through part of downtown before making my way home

They are a good bit bigger, more comfy ride, but like any stock wing, they need front, & rear suspension upgrades :whistling:

if the handlebar location on the mighty ST is ok for you it might be a better overall bike for you than a 1500 wing and the mighty ST13 weighs about as much as a 1200 wing with a lot more power. you are welcome to test ride my ST13 the next time we meet up

After a couple of months of neglect, I got my wing out yesterday and went for a ride, while she loved being ridden again, she made me work a bit to get her running right. I had to stop at a buddies house and clean the plugs off to make it where I was headed, but she purred for me afterwards! [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

 

[ChuckII]

took off all the rear stuff and rebuilt my air shocks and installed new rear brake pads..
The bump stops were gone just rubber goo since I didn't know where to get them I improvised some from ace hardware at $1.26 each and rubber dust covers from autozone part number in the pics

 

[Ansimp]

Looking good :good:

 

[ianstaley]

Repairing almost any shock is possible, it's just having the confidence to do it, first time for everything. for me the question is is it worth the cost, to date I haven't found anyone that can supply me a rebuild kit in the UK, I did try one company but after 3 calls to them and leaving my name and number clearly they have enough money and don't want my business. So I am in the process of buying new ones. But you rebuild looks great.

 

[joedrum]

nice work

 

[brianinpa]

Rode it to work this morning. I think it might soon be time to put the liner in the jacket.

That looks like fun!

 

[rob.lafady]

Brian, this seems to be my go-to ride, it's close by, has twisties, and is always beautiful scenery!

 

[julimike54]

Found out that the rear shocks I bought in 97 from Progressive, can't be rebuilt, they have no parts
So I guess I live with slow air leak till I can get some new.

What parts? :headscratch: Last summer, i ordered seals, springs, dampers, & boots for one of my 84 standards, rebuilt those, & a couple other sets replaced the seals, boots, & springs, with no issues. :good:Believe i may have a set of seals, Honda seals will work in them :wave:
