Mirrors appear to be from a big Honda, maybe Goldwing. (Look like the mirrors that came with the complete Goldwing front end that we put on a friend's '71 Norton, in '76. Double discs, baby!)<br />The rear rim looks wider than stock. <br />Didn't they have CV type carbs by then?

Stock shocks, no side cover, no seat strap, stock horn, odd-looking mirrors, the re-call gas cap, and some kind of strange bracket next to the headlight behind the reflector, which, if I didn't know any better, looks almost like a number plate bracket.<br /><br />And the turn signal stalks might've been shortened a tad.<br /><br />And you can't have mine. But then you probably wouldn't want it - it's got a shade over 91K miles on it, and looks it. :-)<br /><br /><b>BSR</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-40776226504707259282014-03-21T23:39:57.837-04:002014-03-21T23:39:57.837-04:00At the end in 2010, I was paying about $60 per rid...At the end in 2010, I was paying about $60 per ride for the annual insurance on the 1978 Gold Wing. I sold it to a guy who drove twelve hours with his dog to pick it up, having bought the 2up capable, injected Buell for the missus and I. I miss it still. <br /><br />Perhaps that's stretching the definition of "bad, bad things..."
