Old Photos of our Riding Past, Bikes and Road

That makes sense. But I think an "Extensively rebuilt" 70's wing would perform as well. Your stator problems are not typical. If properly installed, OEM stators are very reliable. Before I converted to an alt. system, I had over 100,000 miles on a stock stator. And it was still working fine

This is the kind of story that has kept me buying Hondas, but other than my CT70, I have never actually had one live up to the reliability reputation. The CT70 was the most reliable bike that I ever had, even with all the abuse I put it through as a kid, teen, and 20 something!

I'm glad that I found the info here on the GM alternator, since a Poor Boy kit won't work on a GL1000. Plus, the hidden GM alternator keeps the bike looking better, as well as making it easy to work on.

I do like the feel of the Wing. It has a nice big bike feel that was really lacking on the Magna. At 6' with a 34-35 inseam, the Magna felt too small.

Now that I have the equipment, and some time, I really want to get the Wings (or at least the 78), going before spring.

Had to dig deep into the archives to find these pics. First is a 66 305 scrambler bought in 1971. Second is a 73 CB500F bought new in late 1973.

That Beer Can wall in my parent's basement was a local institution - LOL

I could be wrong, but isn't that red one a Yammy XS1100? (I had one as my first bike and LOVED it.)

[Oldewing]

Yep, the Red Dresser is an Yamy XS 1100
