Jordan Liebman [jordan@stawskidistributing.com] 25/05/2000

I can be a contact for Silver Wingers. My name is Jordan Liebman and I live in Chicago, Illinois USA. I ride an 1983 GL650I with the full touring package. I ride approximately 4k miles per year and I am a regular attendant at the Marysville Ohio Honda Homecomeing and the Asheville North Carolina Honda Hoot. I am interested in contacting other US Silver Wing riders who are interested in going to these major yearly scheduled Honda events. They can contact me at jordan@stawskidistributing.com

Thanks and keep the rubber side down!

I am looking for a 'road' bike for my wife to tour with me. I have a Honda ST-1100 and have been trying to find a touring bike for her with a low seat height (28"-30") as she has short legs. I remeber the Silverwing but know little about it. Could you suggest a source where I might find the
specifications and possibly a source with Silverwings for sale.
Thanks

Just getting aquainted with the Internet and came across your web page. I have a 1983 GL-650 Silverwing. I added the factory side bags, and the extension rack for the large trunk and I have an Arthur Fulmer Windshield (no factory fairing). I originally purchased it with 8200 miles on it and presently coming up on 30,000. Great around town "scooter". I originally started out with a 1978 Honda CX 500 (Darth Vader look} used motorcycle, then in 1983 I purchased a brand new 1982 Honda GL-500 Silverwing, and sold it when I purchased the used 83 Wing. All of the CX's and GL's were excellent, with the exception of the H2O pump seal failure.

I don't know if you have any ideas where I might be able to purchase some replacement side bags for my machine (silver in color with dark gray stripes), as mine have numerous cracks, and I have used clear silicone cauking to seal (from the inside) to keep them in service. I would like to have a spare set, so I can remove the ones I have and see if I can get them repaired.

Also do you know of a replacment air filter other than Original from Honda which retails at $29.00? I have tried K & N Filter, however, this particular model motorcycle would not run with it installed.

I am not new to motorcycling as I have been riding for 46 years on and off, mostly on during my later years. Presently have a Goldwing, Silverwing and a 1970 Triumph 650 Tiger with 18,000 miles on it. Slowlygetting it back together as I decided to tear it down and clean it up, however, didn't get back to placing it back together until 4 years later. Pretty tough when you have "senior moments as it is".

Anyhow, appreciate any info you can give me on subject matter.

Thanks, Joe

Hello there, my name's Terry Cresswell and I've just found you on the Net. I'm 52 and a "born again biker", after much soul-searching (and many discussions with my bank manager!) I decided to buy myself another bike after 25 odd years on four wheels, but what? I thought, NOT a pocket rocket, (my back couldn't take the crouching over!) so it was a custom or a cruiser. As I didn't see myself as another Easy Rider, it was down to a cruiser, but again, what? Then one day I saw a Silverwing Interstate in Mulberry red and that was it, I was hooked, I paid my money and sweating slightly, wobbled slowly off down the road. I've had several quite expensive problems with it,(replacing the pro-link unit and all the suspension bushes) but that was down to earlier neglect and it's all starting to come together now. I like the bike so much that I've just bought a CX 500, originally for spares, but I'm seriously considering rebuilding it and putting it back on the road.
Anyway, enough waffle, I'd like to be put on your member's list, (so I can pick someone else's brains if I have any more problems) You don't say anything about membership fees or anything, if there are any, just let me know.
All the best Terry.

I have just imported a 650 Silverwing, 83, from Kansas City USA, to Norway. The bike is in very good condition, only 23000 miles, and looks like new. I would like to join your internet contact group. There are 6-8 of these bikes in Norway and 4 is in may neightbourhood.

The only item I am looking for is a carrier to mount the top box on.

At the moment I am looking for a radio system to fit onto the bike, so if anybody out there knows where I can get hold of a system, or where I can get hold of custom parts to fit either the bike or the fairing, please email me
