OK, so that's what it will look like in the distant future.





















Here's what I brought back today.

Back in the day, someone wanted an Interstate instead, so missing almost all the important Std pieces: faux tank, smaller black plastic side covers, rear fender, etc. etc.


The good thing is I have a FL title for it and it's an early one.

What parts are there are pretty crusty.

Under all that blue, is the original color.
So, someday, this will be the third Wineberry to join the fleet.

Guess after many hens' teeth part purchases, I'm sure it will be a $2000+ bike cost.

Some parts I might make myself. We'll see. Too many other projects in the line up for now.

Cool, I will see it and you (again) first hand in the spring.

Good score, and good luck, now that I have seen the finished product.

Sounds great.
Bring some "spare" Standard parts with you.
I'll have the refreshments to trade for them.

Thanks.
Just a little elbow grease, and it should polish right up.

Could probably use a bath and dont forget to change them Belts before you fire it up.

True, but it did come with the used (maybe original Honda) belts.

One thing I just found interesting after having a couple Standards,
is the headlight housing is very close to the early 'wing models.

You could probably sell them there "Vintage/Rare" belts on E-Bay. . Still a good find from what I see. Do you know why the PO pulled the head off. ?

PO bought it as parts also, but had water in one cylinder.

Cool idea on the belt sale, seen 'em listed before for a decent price.

Just can't bring myself to do that to another Wing.

I bit hook line and sinker.
I figured you had found someone getting a divorce or something.
Good one.
Good luck with the rebuild when you get to it.
