Thinking of getting a wing

[Figor]

Hi guys!

I’ve recently sold my BMW and Vstrom. Still trying to figure out why I did that. I honestly think I had a momentary lapse of sanity and I genuinely mean that.

I’ve been riding for as long as I can remember.
I had a few wings many years ago and enjoyed riding them. I’ve been eyeballing pics of custom wings for about a year and I really like them and thought maybe I’d keep an eye out for one. I’ll be looking at one soon so I may be a new owner.

You think we're going to talk you out of it?

Welcome from Wisconsin. One will find you, guaranteed!

Welcome to the 'Wingdom.

Buy two and get it over with ... one is never enough ...

I've had 6 (one was new in '06, still have a '78). Now I watch for "fence row finds" to rescue. Keeps me off the streets. The 1000s had (originally) a very simple point ignition and overly-complicated electrical system that luckily is easy to fix. Even fairly bad condition 1000s can be rescued given time and elbow grease (and $$$).

Thanks guys. I picked one up today from a member. Looking forward to getting started.

Pidjones… I see you have a 76 RD400. You didn’t happen to buy that from a guy in Illinois did you? I used to have one. It would be funny if you have it now. Loved that bike.

No, bought it as a "rolling basket case" last August in Columbus, OH. Was Chappy Red. I repainted it Geneva Green like the one I bought new in '76.

I’m looking for a wing project also, I have 13 motorcycles dirt bikes and street bikes but I’ve been looking at a lot of naked goldwings and just love the looks of them what would be a good start the 1000, 1100 or the gl1200 ? Seems like the prices for the 1000 are higher

GR 8 restore on the 400. You are asking a ? that will get as many different answers as we all have particular likes. I am very partial to my 78 cause as Rodger says they are the best looking!!
