Well got her running tonight :-) Was a little rough until it warmed up. Oh... whats up with the exhaust gaskets? I had 2 new one's that came with the bike.... boy... they are really fragile. Also after it warmed up I shut it down and put it into gear... pulled in the clutch....gave it a push. :-) Clutch freed right up. Gotta love Honda's

Now I have to paint the front.... I really should repaint the whole thing... the tank and sides are a little different shade of silver. I think that will make a good winter project :0

She still needs some work but I will save most of it for this winter. Just glad I bought her. Still has a lot of life left in her. My girl want's me to find a backrest... not easy for this year eh.

A back rest or a top case on an 88 is a gamble , Inidana hurricane was able to fit one.

Also if you want to put bigger wheels let mek now, i'll give you the instructions, mine has 180in the back and 120 in front and i love it.
