I am looking over a GL500 Silverwing (which I think maybe a better ride for ME than the Customs I have had at my house that I find too small)

The wing has a bad rear shock (I've only spoken to the current owner and not see the bike yet).

But before I get too involved in this bike -- is this a part that can be sourced in some way..? Aftermarket? real size replacement? OEM (nla?)

Anyone found a solution for this one. ..?

Also, the second question, that doesn't relate to bikes:

If among you, knights of the roads, fans of gambling? I've recently found this CanPlay gambling review - what do you think about this review - https://bestcasinos-ca.com/reviews/canplay-gambling.php. One of my acquaintances said that it is a good gambling, worthy of attention. But I would like to know your opinion.

Being as it is an 82, most of the parts have gone obsolete through Honda. That being said, your first stop should be at your dealer to see if there's a Hail Mary chance of one being in stock. If you're not already a member of a CX500/650 owners forum, you should sign up on one. Owners forums are the best sources of info specific to your bike and quite often there'll be advice on aftermarket parts there, too.

I replaced one with a shock off a Yamaha V-Star 650. Pretty easy swap. It does drop the rear about an inch but for my customer that was a welcome change.

Hello Friend!

I will immediately answer 2 your question.
First of all, about the motorcycle - don't hesitate and buy it. This is a good model, and the problem with the part will be easier to solve after you purchase the store.
