Hi,
I found your forum thru the Naked GoldWing site. One of your members is also a NGW member.
I have several projects going. A couple Goldwings and a CX500 as well as a 78' CB750.


Hope we can help each other out.

Thanks
Glenn

Welcome. Sounds like you have a lot of project going. Do you have any time to ride?

Lets see some pics.

Here are a few of my projects. Mostly 1 at a time. Except the 77' Goldwing. I found i in a garage and traded some labor for it. Fixed his current ride. Replaced a chipped valve in #4 and a laping of all the other valves. The problem with this bike is carburetor hell. I have disassembled the carbs 4 or 5 times. The throttle shafts leak. I tried 4 different shaft seal and no luck. So I have decided to send them out tomorrow to someone who know more than I do and see if another $400 will do the trick. :'(

Sunday is for riding or 4 wheeling in what passes for mountains around here. S.E. Arizona

Welcome wingingit2, that CB looks a little rough but you seem to have the skills to get her back in shape.  Love that naked wing!!  I've been lusting after one for a while.

In your dreams...
CX is fun but what a torture treatment you get from the STD seat...even when it was new!
