Hello from Portland
Hello NGW from Portland, OR. This is a great community -- it's good to visit again after several years and finally become a member! Back in 2008 or 2009 I used to visit because I owned a naked '75, my daily rider, that I foolishly sold when I needed some money. From the helpful wizards on this forum I learned about the magic of ballast resistors. (Important lesson, that.)
Anyway, I've been meaning to get back to 'Wings for the past 10 years, and I'm finally doing so.
I came into possession of a 1975 and a 1976 LTD, both of them needing help. The '76, a project, is going to get sold -- it's got wiring woes that I don't quite understand, but the other is going to be my rider. They BOTH need some help. I know this is the right place to find it. You'll be hearing from me...
