Hello all, just bought this 88 cane a couple days ago, have been searching for one but wasn't finding anything clean enough to spend money on till I found this one, guy owned it since 91 came with owners manual, Honda service manual and original tool kit. He had it sitting in storage for two years, it starts right up but of course needs the carbs cleaned and a few other minor things, I have it naked right now and am cleaning her up, here's a pic right when I got it home.

Will update with more pics and progress as I restore her to all her glory.

 

After looking through the forum some more I think I did good finding this Cane, seems like people who paid about the same as I did or a little more got less of a bike that still needed a lot. As for an update, I found what looks like to be a rats nest wedged between the block and carbs, guess this bike really did sit, cleaned that mess out and checked to make sure nothing had been chewed through, all's good. Next order of business is cleaning and polishing everything, and finding out why the tach isn't working.

 

Ok carbs are off and man are they dirty!!!!! Cleaning them very thoroughly.

 

Man that thing is nice! Good find. I like the paint job, it's not really flashy but it was enough to make me do a double take.

 

Thanks man, yea when I first saw it I couldn't believe how clean she was, I took it right away. I haven't seen this paint scheme on a hurricane but it looks factory.

 

Amazing bike bro, I just got myself an 89 got a whole lot less but hey not bad for $600 haha they are great bikes from what i've seen with mine. I need to learn how to take out the carb and get mine cleaned too

 

Yeah good deal I paid $500 you got a better deal no doubt

 

yea that is a really nice one i got my for free and wish it was even close to the condition urs is in my plastics are shot and my fork seals and about everything else but hey its free right lol

 

Thanks for all the kind words guys, found a k&n air filter, also has been jetted not sure what stage, just has a sticker on the airbox that says dynojet fuel management, also has an alarm installed non functioning right now, have been thinking about removing it. The bike also has steel braided brake lines front and rear. Here's a few pics of how she's sitting right now, but will be all back together soon.

 

So time and many projects are getting away from me and I decided to take this beauty in to the shop to be serviced, will have her back next week good as new, will post with pic when I get her back.
