Vehicle Detail
Here is a 1978 Honda Goldwing, 5 speed in original condition including paint. Everything works, and she runs well. The brakes are fine, but the rear shocks and front fork are spongy and should be serviced. The tires are in excellent condition with about 4500 miles on them. There is a new Memphis Shades fairing and new timing belt. She has always been garaged. This is an excellent bike for someone who wants a vintage Goldwing that they can restore or make into a distinctive one of a kind motorcycle, as she is in excellent shape for her years. The chrome looks good, though the front fender has some dings from stones being thrown up against from the tires (outward dimples). I replaced the old dyna electronic ignition with a new one this past month, and the carbs are well tuned. Unfortunately I hit a rather bad pothole last year which put a dent in the front right alloy rim, so to be safe, this will need some attention, though it there isn't a problem with the tire bead sealing well. I've continued to ride it. The seat is one of those old king and queen throne models with a sissy bar and luggage rack, and if I were to keep this bike, I'd be putting on a new Corbin saddle. Once she gets out of winter storage, more pics will be posted (in about 1 week) . I've decided to sell her, as I now own a new motorcycle and don't really have the room to garage two bikes.
