Well I was sitting here eatting lunch at work here in Africa and looked at several old posts about wing mileage or km for our far Northern Friends. I did not see anything specifically on wings with over 100,000 m/160934.4 km. So I thought I would start one.
If your wing has over this amout of mileage then post and let us know about it.
I will start:
My wing is a 97 GL1500 SE. I got it in 2009 and it had 192,000 miles on it. I got it off Ebay from a dealer in Dallas, Tx. The PO had wreaked it back in 2007. It had been somewhat repaired but you could still see that it was laid down on the left side. I have went trough it totally and properly fixed all that the PO had tried to fix (he was a JB weld junkie). I have had the wing repainted and have just added a tow pac to it so my wife would ride more with me.
I am getting the tow pac painted when I get home in a few days. I am also rebuilding the front forks, rebuilding the carbs, changing out the pulse gen, ECU and coils and wires. Putting on new brakes front and rear along with new HEL brake lines. Also changing out front and rear wheel bearings and doing a complete fluid change.......sounds like I will be busy huh?
My wing now has 198,000 miles / 318650.112 km on her and going strong.
Ok so that is about it for me.....let's hear about your wing if you have 100,000 or more miles on your wing.
