Great forum here, going to spend the next few days reading up.

Anyone have a red Silverwing? (I've just never seen one but mine, kinda strange, are they rare? It's red with black,, kinda two toned, I'll post pics later). Cool, maybe I have a rare one?

'83 GL650i Conversion]]> TheMuse Bodywork & Seats Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:20:10 -0700 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?24,8029,8029#msg-8029 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?24,8029,8029#msg-8029 big E Bodywork & Seats Sun, 29 Jun 2008 12:38:15 -0700 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?24,7905,7905#msg-7905 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?24,7905,7905#msg-7905
What I have is a set of posts with a hex head and a threaded opening and some caps fitted over the opening. Behind those are some aftermarket signal lights affixed to the body off to the sides and back from the tail light. It gives the bike a nice clean look, but the missing bars do look a little strange when viewing the bike from the side. One can see the post stubs and rear lights on this larger image, though it's not the best view of that specific area: [img.photobucket.com]

What I'm wondering is, when the locks are unlocked and one pushes them forward, do they turn, or do they physically slide back? I currently suspect that the locks had a hex seat and mounted to these posts so that when they where moved, they would twisted the posts to actuate the seat locking mechanism (pure guess right now as my bike is across the city in storage). Is this how they operated the seat/trunk lock?]]> nukedathlonman Bodywork & Seats Fri, 18 Jan 2008 21:26:04 -0800 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?24,7855,7855#msg-7855 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?24,7855,7855#msg-7855 mrchuck Bodywork & Seats Fri, 19 Oct 2007 07:08:47 -0700 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?24,7796,7796#msg-7796 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?24,7796,7796#msg-7796 Zinfer Bodywork & Seats Fri, 24 Aug 2007 21:20:56 -0700 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?24,7793,7793#msg-7793 http://www.aegeansoft.com/silverwing/phorum/read.php?24,7793,7793#msg-7793 I just bought an '82 Silver Wing that has a tape deck above the instruments.It was a cheapo so I replaced it with an Alpine 7165 and added a Pioneer GM-A5 amp, in keeping with the vintage of the bike.The console containing deck and speakers has a built in antenna that looks like the rear defroster foils from a car as well as a flip open rain cover for the deck. It all works nicely, but I was wondering if this was cosidered aftermarket junk. I know it looks nothing like a Honda/Clarion setup.

I need to repaint a replacement side cover, but have had no luck in determining the correct color code. I'm thinking that it's Winberry, but need to be sure, and need the color code number.

Many thanks,

I'm new to to the forum, and new to the wonderful world of Silverwing ownership. I have an 83 Silverwing that is running a bit rough at the moment and need some advice on setting up the carbs... can anyone advice.

I'm also after the front fairing for my GL650 in preparation of the onset of winter... can anyone offer help...

I want to pull my fairing off. I know I need to re-mount the headlight, turn signals, & mirrors.

I found a junked 1979 CX500 on ebay, selling for parts. Would the above mentioned parts from a CX500 fit on my bike?

Or is there a easy way to get the parts needed?

I have a question regarding the fairing mount for the GL650i. In acquiring the mounting hardware for the fairing, and comparing with the Honda Shop Manual for the SilverWing, it looks like there are two curved brackets that come off the front of the fairing mounting bracket which I did not receive. I have also found on eBay a GL500 fairing mounting bracket that shows in the picture those two curved brackets. Downloaded the picture for those interested in seeing what I'm referring to.

Do these curved brackets only apply to the GL500, and not the GL650?

Thanks,

I've just found the bike of my dreams... an '83 GL 650. It is the apple of my eye. I have the opportunity to purchase from another S'wing owner ('83 GL 650i) the fairing and luggage. My question is... will my bike accommodate the fairing and luggage? And... if so, which parts do I need from the 650i to do the conversion?

Or, am I nuts to even consider it and it will screw up my bike beyond repair?

A related question... other than the fairing and luggage, what is different about the Interstate model?

Thanks much!

The decals are excellent and now on my bike. View pictures of them at [groups.msn.com]
