I was a member a long time ago, just rejoined, finally got the old Wing back on the road, or I thought. Sent the carbs off, changed the belts, installed a new waterpump, everything was good until I figured out only 2 or the 3 phases of the stator were good, so I'm going to drop the engine and replace that and the clutch and seals. But I did take her out for a 20 mile ride yesterday, man I love this old bike, it was enough to get me energized for the engine removal!

Yup, but mine is a 75-77 color, I'll try to get it back to the right color this fall.
