Do You remember the Datsun F10 or the B-210? Same scenario, drivetrains all still runners but bodies disintegrated. If it were me, keep Your thinking! Sell the Wing and keep the 650. No more timing belts and anti-freeze. I've worked on a lot of the 1000/1100/1200/1500's, usually missing all the fairing screw spacer/collars before I'd gotten to it. Still have some 1000/1100/1200 carb assemblies laying around in the outbuilding, he.

My first bike was a 1980 CB 650C. It was a good bike, I put 38k miles on it in 2 years. Your Goldwing looks really nice and will bring a nice price this spring if you sell it.

I also have a 71' and a 72' MGB GT. The 72' runs great but I'm building a matching pair of 10 to 1 compression motors with big valve heads and lightened rods for them.

Yep they own Victoria British and then there's Moss as well as a big stack of other LBC venders. And then there's British Heritage where they even sell brand new bodys and repair panels stamped out on the original tooling.
