Hi Mark, I've currently got the bike & potentially sold to the new lucky custodian. He has asked me if you converted to electronic ignition or kept the points? All the best - Tim
@MarkReynoldsRestorations6 күн бұрын
@PurpleHelmetMotorbikes Hi Tim, it has the original points. I did suggest to the owner during the build to go with electronic ignition but the parts list was getting expense so decided to stay with the original points.

I had the exact same bike, bought it new in ‘78 while I was living in Oman. Awesome machine. Mine was in burgundy, slightly darker than this, although that could be down to lighting and no engine bars. Loved riding it, fast and smooth and no chain maintenance! Wish I still had it and often wonder what happened to it.

Why this ugly steering wheel? It's not pretty, it doesn't help cornering at all, you force the driver to always be in an upright position with his arms hanging down.

Nice. I bought a new 1978 Goldwing like this with the same color I added a color matched Windjammer fairing. The maroon seemed darker than this but hey that was 48 years ago. What an awesome ride. I rode chain drive for years and It took a little to get used to the drive shaft in corners. They said to accelerate through the corners and that will keep it from trying to fishtail.
