| After five years of ownership, it's time to out the Wing. When I bought it, the front bodywork had seen some rough times with a poor paintjob and homemade fixings to hold the panels together. Since then, it has deteriorated further and a slip and fall at walking speed in the recent snow took out another chunk. The n/s indicator housing had to be duct-taped back in place! Having had to do duty as the only vehicle in the household for 18 months meant a lot of supermarket shopping loads and the o/s one of the replacement rear forks I put on last year popped its seal a couple of weeks ago.
Even though the bike does have MOT to 08/23 and rear shock notwithstanding, is generally rideable, I wouldn't be looking to start a daily commute the day after buying it. while it does have a brand new front tyre with sub-150miles on it and recent new front brake pistons and seals, this is definitely either a project bike, a parts donor for another or a 'refresh and ride' job.
Even though the wife doesn't like the idea, I am prepared to break it down for specific parts but equally, I'd consider offers to take it away as is. I won't advertise anywhere else until the Wing members here have had a chance to pick off the good bits.
Engine has 37k miles on it and there is a very slight weep from somewhere up top - I never looked too hard for it to be honest
I'll list the bits I consider unusable or the state they're in. Everything else I guess is up for grabs.
Front Mudguard - Badly cracked but my fix of wooden battens Gorilla Glued to the inside holds up surprisingly well Original Screen - in one piece but so cloudy with age you can barely see through it Handlebar and stem shroud - cracked and bits missing N/S front fairing panel - Well, look at the picture (urgh!) O/S front fairing panel - somewhat better condition but would need a bit of plastic welding Seat - Intact but Bum stop has a dog-chewed hole (you can see the duct tape in the pic) - Gas strut is screwed and light doesn't work Variator(?) Cover - dropped the bike 20 miles after buying it and the side stand went into the cover, cracking it. Local Honda dealer wanted £180 for a replacement so I just left it as is Drive Belt and rollers - def need replacing O/S aftermarket shock has blown seal. N/S intact Engine cover missing
Pretty much all else is in good or reasonable condition. Top Box and baseplate are NOT for sale but the baseplate support IS.
Offers for all or parts welcome. Have at it, guys. - Attachments

| To be honest in that state it sounds like the perfect city commuter. Service the basics, then leave the cosmetics so the thieving smack-heads steal whatever is parked next to it. |

| Sort the indicator housing, new rear shocks, belt and rollers... yup, the rest is cosmetic. |
