Darn Goldwings.....The Holley project

#1

Post by Oldboy »

A couple of weeks ago I came home from work and said to my wife of 33 years....Hi Sweetie, I bought a Goldwing today, What you buy?
And so It begins, another build. This one will be a little different for me, a bobber. a black bobber with unique carburetion called "Breaking Black".
I'm starting with an '83 Aspy, I got from a guy at work. Good price and runs half decent...I'll fix the other half.

It's not as pretty as the picture makes it look....paints bad and brakes are poor, made it home though.
MBS......strikes again. Now counting 3.

Also, if you look at the post where I said "93'?", you can see in the quote what was originally there.

I don't wear my glasses when I'm on here. Not in the shop either. I'm lucky, I'm near sighted. lolol dancr
