Honda Gold Wing description

1978 goldwing 

This is a good looking old bike, with that said it is the original paint with all original emblems and shows normal wear for a 30+ year old bike. Runs and drives great !  I will do my best to describe the good and bad i have nothing to hide. This bike has no warranty as is !! I recommend you come to see it before you buy it or argue the price. I will ship but the buyer must arrange shipping at there own expense. The bike must be paid in full before it leaves to be shipped. Please ask any questions 

The Good:
 
weber 40 idf carbs and holley electric pump  ( brand new not rebuilt carbs ) made in spain carbs
c5 performance ignition
gl100 inverted comstars and rear brake
gl100 rear air shocks rebuilt and front suspension (not rebuilt)
mac headers with shortened v rod muscle mufflers
vdo center gauges
cbr1000rr handlebar switches and rear master cylinder
gl1100 rebuilt engine (With receipts)
corbin gunfighter seat
new battery with cbr600 regulator conversion and new stator
stainless steel braided brake lines
new front master cylinder
rebuilt petcock
super clean fuel tank
randakk weber manifolds, grips, fuel filter
led headlight, taillight, turn signals
flanders superbike bars


The Bad:
       one cam shaft seal was damaged on install and weeps ( comes with new seal )
Needs fork seals 
carbs have a stumble around 1/2 throttle but they idle absolutely perfect and wot is amazing ( its fast)
overall the carbs really work great i would say there 98% correct and just need some fine tuning 
could use tires ( old and worn ) one has a dot from 2008 and other is 2010
worn original paint

Intermot 2012: Honda CRF450 Rally Unveiled

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Today at Intermot 2012, Honda unveiled the CRF450 Rally, the machine it plans to enter in the 2013 Dakar Rally, marking the manufacturer’s return to the race after more than two decades. Honda has competed nine times from 1981 in the forerunner of the present Dakar Rally, the Paris-Dakar Rally. Cyril Neveu of France took Honda to its first victory in 1982, the race’s fourth year, and from 1986 to 1989 Honda won four consecutive titles for an overall record of five victories in nine years. The CRF450 Rally is based on Honda’s commercial CRF450X enduro racing model, and features electronic fuel injection, auxiliary fuel tanks in the panniers and lower side fairings, and the requisite navigation equipment located behind the windscreen.
