Newbie from Nampa Idaho

#1

Post by JC1 »

Greetings All,

Brand new to the forum. Just bought my first Goldwing and it is a PROJECT. Was going to part it out but got the bug....

Always wanted to build a bike from ground up so I thought I would start with a rebuild. Found this old bike at an estate sale for cheap (I hope). Naked '75 Goldwing with carbs in a box. YIPPEE!!!!

Would like to start a thread to track progress if you all don't mind so that I can get feedback, advice and ideas.

Tho it may not be ideal for this size bike, am leaning toward cafe, but still researching options. Looks like there is a lot of info out there already so I will try and search out answers before I post.

Thanks all and look forward to gaining friends and knowledge!
