As I was finishing my most recent build, a 1974 Honda Elsinore themed CB 750, I began thinking about my next build. Went to Mid-Ohio and saw a white 'Wing with 1959 Cadillac taillights. In my mind, I began to dream up variations. A few months later, I found an '81 GL on Craig's List for a few hundred bucks. I brought it home and stored it until I finished the 750. Well last weekend I declared the "1976 CR 750, Nelsonore" Finished. I rolled the Wing into my garage and grabbed my Sawzall. Please follow along and offer any suggestions and ideas as I document this project. This is my first Wing and you folks have years of experience.

I came up with a theme: AstroWing. I plan to follow the lines of a Bultaco Astro.

Headed to my garage.

Headed to my garage. With the picture this time.

Bike has over 50,000 miles, seems pretty solid. I took the carbs off and cleaned them out. I hope I don't offend anyone, but I do not like these carbs. Got a battery and fired it up. Ran on 2 cylinders but engine seems ok no knocking or smoke. We'll know more about the engine later.

Next step, Sawzall.

Hauled away about 150 pounds.

Welcome to the board. It looks like 2013 will be the battle of the Mono shock's.
Good start ,keep it up.

Looking good already.

The white one you saw at Mid-Ohio is White Trash, the 2012 Bike of the Year.

Ta heck with the bike, tell us about that Ford in the background

I was thinking the same. It's a 48 coupe, me think.

Good stuff going on here, and some cool toys ... hmmm, Nelsonore? (pics?)

Greg's white trash bike for sure..

It's a 1941 Ford a 15 year project. Pretty neat that the "Bike of the year got me started on the Good Wing path... Before it was the bike of the year"

Here is my inspiration for the Nelsonore and the Nelsonore.

Love the Ford, would kill for a Bultaco as in your picture, but knobblies on a cafe racer? You got me there!
