What did you do to your Wing today ?

[pidjones]

Just won a set of chrome horns, a "HONDA" emblem for the front end, and a set of chrome radiator air deflectors on Ebay! Woo-hoo! All I need now is a Standard grab rail...

You'll have to be very patient on the grab rail - then jump when you find one! I bought a rusty, painted one but that will work great for my project. The prices I've seen on some indicate it cheaper to buy a wrecked bike.

I adjusted the points after my carb rebuild. Was able to ride the bike for the first time since I bought it. What a sense of pride when you do it yourself. Im really diggin on these old bikes.

Was it the 75? That was my first Wing and I loved it.

Finished putting the top of the motor back together after repainting it. I am Happy, happy, happy!

No, it was the 76. I bought the 76, a week later i bought the 75. 75 runs great but is not in as good a condition. The 76 is now running and is in pretty nice condition. I got the 76 for $750. Great deal.

Very purty! With the polished pieces on it, she'll look gorgeous!

 

[brianinpa]

Thanks guys... It's not done yet, but I can see where it is going. C5 install tomorrow, then the belts, valve adjustments, button everything up and then stuff the motor so I can then do some work on the carbs.

Won a nice lookin' Standard grab bar on Ebay, and it was pretty cheap! I hope it's not one of those "too good to be true" deals. The pictures weren't great, but I can't see any rust. We shall see...

No key for the helmet lock, so it's coming off.

Drove to New York to meet Fordsman to pick up a Honda-line fairing from his 82. In the process, I also got a trunk, floorboards, light bar and a few other things all for the price of a drive through the country. Thanks again Ron!!!

 

[Steve83]

Cool! Gotta love a deal like that!

Bought some things but they all need to be screwed to the faring or windshield, I need to get up the courage to drill into perfectly good plastic.
