Title: Gonna see... Post by Yonuh Adisi FSO on 03/20/14 at 13:20:33 ...if my brother will be willing to let me have his old 81 Honda Silverwing. It needs a lot of work but I believe with time and patience I just might be able to get it going again. He seems to have given up on it. I am just desperate to have another bike even if I will be working on it a lot just to get it running. I miss tinkering with one. |

Title: Re: Gonna see... Post by shorty on 03/20/14 at 14:21:50 so what's wrong with the silverwing? |

Title: Re: Gonna see... Post by Yonuh Adisi FSO on 03/20/14 at 15:33:25 It has a lot of issues, electrical mainly and I think the cam timing slipped. But I just asked my brother and he wants to keep it. He's gonna try to get a shop in the town he lives in to fix it. So it looks like I am out of luck. :( :( |

Title says 81 but it actually is an 82 on an 81 frame. |

I found schematics for a homebuilt one on a site about them when I looked at one a while back. Before 82 they are some sort of hybrid magneto setup. Have a rep for problems. 82 and up are great bikes from everything I've read about them. Timing chain is sort of a pain, though. |

Yeah, it sucks, but if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off. ;) |

Title: Re: Gonna see... Post by Steve H on 03/22/14 at 10:36:36 I usually see several nice old Silverwings each year on CL. Keep a look out. You'll find something. |

What I would love to have is a CX650 Custom. I had one years ago when I was a teen and I loved that bike. |

Title: Re: Gonna see... Post by Steve H on 03/22/14 at 15:09:55 That would be sweet. There was one in great condition on CL here last fall. He wanted way more than I could afford so I didn't even go look. |
