New Goldwing project

Well here it is, the next project.  You might remember that before the CX500 I had my heart set on a Goldwing.  Due to some idiot named Larry we ended up scooping an awesome deal on some CX500s.  Stuff happens for a reason I guess, we had fun with the CX.

Mr.G was gracious enough to get the thing to my place since I'm a little battered from something that is none of your business, sorry.


Now keep in mind that this thing weighs a ton and this vintage has no reverse. 


We got the bike from Mr.D, my boss (the best one as far as I'm concerned).  Mr.G took it around the block a couple times to make sure it went, turned and stopped to his satisfaction.  Apart from an issue with the tilt steering, this one has it, Mr.G gave the OK.


Once at my place and shoehorned in a corner we quickly removed some of the easy stuff to see what we're dealing with.


This is going to be interesting!
