I use the gorilla glue but don't completely like the foaming part. Wonder if Jb weld has their own line of duct tape too. 1979 Honda Cx500 Custom    Report

I owned a 80 custom about 3 years ago, sold it to pursue some other wants (wish I hadn't done that) and decided to purchase another one. There is something about these motors that just is fun. After weeks spent browsing craigslist this bike came up, 1981 silverwing, hasn't been run in 18 years. Previous owner says bike was running when parked ( unfortunately I think he parked it in a swamp), I've decided to fully dissamble the bike before riding it, better safe than sorry. $200 bucks canadian with regi papers. Figured I'd do a timing chain, mechanical seal while engine is out, any other suggestions? <img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/beevel/gl500athome1.jpg" border="0" /> 1981, silverwing gl500... calling it, W.I.P...

08-09-2008, 10:34 PM winger Joined on 08-08-2008 Chilliwack, BC, Canada Posts 4 Re: Post Your Ride! Was parked under the previous owners porch for the last 18 years. I hit it with a power washer when I got it home and the custom green came right off. I must have doubled the value of the bike. It rests in my garage right now, mostly dissambled. I'm gonna have to fix a hole in the left saddle bag and a small scuff on the fairing. First thing is to pop the heads off and see if the cylinders are okay. 1981, silverwing gl500... calling it, W.I.P... Work in Progress    Report
