I paid $1200 for it. 30k miles, and it is sound mechanically. The paint is a bit rough when you look close, but I am happy with it.

I wasnt even looking to buy one, but a buddy found it, and knew I would like it. Since the tax money had just come in... Well, the wife actually said I should look at it. I am a lucky man...

That Wing is now a classic!

Looks like that front tyre is the original, does it have very fine cracks in it? if so get rid of it & get a more modern type. Anyway I don't think that style on your wing is much chop....I'd perhaps consider replacing it sooner rather than later for best front end handling.

Good Eyes... the tire does have a few cracks. I have already been looking. The rear is new.

As long as we are talking parts... Momma asked about helmet headsets/intercoms today. Do you all know of any that are a good value? One of the concerns is my moderate hearing loss. I dont want to spend a bunch of money just to find out it doesnt do well for me...

Thanks!
