newbie here....from NJ
Shopguy here from NJ. My first Wing was a 78 that i got from my uncle, I rode it LOTS....and later sold it. Great bike. Fast forward 25 yrs, and I just bought another Wing. 1976 LTD. 25K miles. good original condition, not restored. Carbs were rebuilt a few years ago by the previous owner (the 3rd) along with some other routine maint. tasks. Due now for belts and tires (sidewall cracking). Matching pair Frame and Engine according to orig. sales info that I have for it. Carbs are the proper 763As. Glad to be here.......
