new owner of 1981 and 82 interstate

Post by jhfogartysr »

Hello All I recently bought 2 wing's,82 needs alot of work,the 81 will be naked 82 will be complete interstate.
I rode a brand new wing in 1975,I had a 750 sohc 4 at the time,Ran 11'90's in 1/4 mile(kenny harmon d grind cam and yoshimura 836 pistons)The goldwing impressed me with ride and how quiet it was.I am currently riding 600 f3 honda.(runs high 11.90's too).Anyway my 81 has two sets of timing mark's on right camshaft and an arrow that lines up with upper notch on sprocket,no one seems to know which notch to use,My Honda manual for all 1100's has no mention of dual timing mark's.I am in the dark here,any help would be appreciated. Thank You James in Indiana
