Minor update, I refinished the Honda emblems for the valve covers in cobalt blue candy. It matched the tank paint pretty well.

Re: UPDATE! COMPLETE! Teaser Pix more to follow.
Pictures just don't do this bike justice. I saw it up close yesterday and the attention to detail is amazing. Every bolt, every component was gone over. It really is a stunning build. I'll be anxious to see how many people say.." I didn't know Honda even made a Super Sport version of the Goldwing.." It's that correct in it's presentation.

i should have been clearer. in the DoTheTton thread someone is using the same ones and took them apart to see what's inside. the short story is they were inconsistent between pairs, and benefited greatly from a bit of cleanup
