Not a HONDA 550 anyway...
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

It's probably a Dyna on an older GL.

You know I was going to say it looked like Prestolite, but didn't remember them offering one for GL's.

Thanks for the info! You guy are pretty knowledgeable bunch, no doubt. Sorry for calling a 550. I got my senders mixed up and didn't look at the engine.
