If you need carburetor work done, I highly recommend Mike Nixon of www.themotorcycleproject.com. He did a major teardown and rebuild for my '77 and it runs beautifully. No cheap knockoff parts...all factory level. He goes the extra mile to make sure they are right. Highly recommend him.

Just recently completed a 3200-mile southwestern bike ride and one thing I learned... I need a new seat! I don't have the original. Someone installed a "custom" seat that is contoured for the driver and fairly simple and squared off for the passenger. It causes me to sit too far forward and the...

Really interesting following along with your postings on the CBX. Learned a lot. Bike looks great! Nice work. I have a '77 oldwing and sent my carb cluster to Mike Nixon last spring. What a good decision that was! He really made them like new again. Can't say enough good things about Mike's...

Similar issue with my '77 GL1000 in that it would not really run below 3000 rpm. I had significant carburetion issues. It turned out that among many small details, someone in a previous life of the bike had removed the air bleed jets from the carbs. If you have any significant mods in the carbs...

Thanks for the tip on Revival. I am checking into it.

Thanks. No, have not shown to FIL, but will soon.

That set is a great find! Very nice condition.

Thanks to all for your kind comments. I'm sure all of you know it's a work of love. For me, it's that and the nostalgia of having had the same make, model, color, year back in 1977 when I was "a young buck". :BigGrin: For any who are not familiar, the bags and trunk are a special version of...

Welcome from Southern California!!

July 14 was a wonderful morning as I rolled my '77 Wing out of the garage. I bought it from my father-in-law this past January right after New Year's and kept it in my garage to assess all that it needed. It wasn't a basket case, but needed a lot of love. Fortunately, the frame and painted body...

Thanks to all for your comments and direction. Much appreciated! :music:

I'm thinking of updating my '77 with stainless steel jacketed brake lines. Who has the "go to" kit out there? Looking for recommendations. :thanks:

Wow! That is a real prize! Very nice, very clean. Great acquisition. :clapping: :salute:

It's a backup voltage regulator for your headlamp. If the low beam portion burns out, the reserve lighting system provides a somewhat lower voltage to the high beam portion of your headlamp so that you automatically have road lighting but do not blind oncoming traffic. The white lamp on your...

Welcome from SoCal... :wave:

Absolutely stunning work! Congratulations and enjoy! It's a real shower and I'm sure it's a runner. :salute: :good:

Could be surprising once you clean it up! Good luck! Keep posting pics of it. :music:
