| Good afternoon all. Brand new member here from the Twin Cities who doesn't actually own a Silver Wing but my brother has one. I personally own a '00 Honda Helix. What a wealth of knowledge this website is - really glad it exists. And very friendly members which is another plus.
My brother bought the '04 Swing a couple months ago and after riding it I couldn't believe how rough the front suspension felt. I bit the bullet and bought him early Christmas gifts which included some Hyperpro's and the service manual. So much info on installing them which is much appreciated especially the tips and tricks.
Again thanks all for the Swing info and hopefully one day I can contribute. Chat with you later. |

| Hello. Welcome to the forum.
I hope that you still have a few good riding days left this year. Very generous of you to spring for Hyperpros and a Factory Service Manual (FSM) for your brother.
Hey, there’s a great bunch of folks in the Minn-Max scooter group there in the Twin Cities. If you’re not already familiar with them you might want to check out their FB site. |

| Hey guys. I'll check that out Cosmic - I've been reading a lot of your postings. You must be almost ready to write a book on the Silver Wing! Repair manual or something. And your picture is great! My Dad wore suspenders. |

| Welcome! I loved both of my Helix's and still miss them. I still have the Honda service manual for one. |
