[QUOTE="AE6SS, post: 204781, member: 5298"] 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 parts were in fairly good condition. The bike needed a lot of cleanup, some parts replaced, carbs fully overhauled, new ignition, chrome, wheels, tires, etc. Also, the fairing had some deteriorated components needing replacement. It took me about six months with only the ability to work it on weekends... maybe 5 - 6 hours per day. I would like to give a special thanks to [b]Mike Nixon[/b] of [b]The Motorcycle Project[/b] for the fabulous work he performed in bringing the carburetion up to better than factory specs. All lighting has been converted to LED, including headlamp and running lights. Brake light modulator added. Took her out on the 14th for a shakedown run that lasted for 148 miles! All needed was an idle speed adjustment during the ride. It was a great showing. Attached is a shot of her at a Starbucks where I made my first rest stop. Thanks for looking.
