Silverwing Again!

[utadventure]

Some of you know my son Sam, a couple of years ago he was riding an '81 Honda Silverwing. On the way to work one night, FedEx mid-night shift, the motor went out...siezed! We looked at changing out the motor but wasn't working very well. We not afraid to turn a wrench but it wasn't coming together.

 

In December I ran across an '81 without all the plastic but a good running motor. Three months later, the owner finally accepted my offer the transition back to a full dress bike. We got part way through the transition today but still have to move the faring and swap it with the headlight and turn signals.

Dave & Sam, I understand why Sam likes that '81 Silverwing Interstate.

 

Here are some pictures of one of mine...it is an '82 Silverwing Interstate. I went through it completely, from front to rear, and it is a happy little bike.

I hope that Sam gets his bike finished to his satisfaction, and rides...forever.

Miles-

 

That's a great looking Silverwing. Thanks for sharing!

 

We wished we could find an '82 and upgrade to the 650 but didn't have luck on that one.

 

Ride On!!

Dave the 650 cc engines were in '83 and '84.
