1981 Honda Silver Wing GL 500

You are bidding on a 1981 Honda Silverwing GL 500. The bike is currently not together.  All parts are present.  The bike last ran about 4 years ago.  I was having issues with the stator when I originally took the bike apart.  I replaced the stator and while the engine was apart. I had a professional motor cross racer (very close friend of mine) port and polish the heads and jet the carbs. I started to put the bike back together with new parts (head gaskets. plugs and others). when unfortunately my friend was murdered by a mutual "friend" (long story that I won't share on Ebay).  Needless to say. I lost interest in completing the bike after that.  I kept the bike thinking I might finish what we started. but every time I've tried to work on it since. it doesn't feel right so I can't complete it. At this point. I've decided to sell it with the hopes that someone will want to finish what we started and enjoy the bike again. Enough of the sob story. the bike has 16. 48 miles on it.  Heads have been ported and polish.  Carbs have been jetted to match the head work.  I have both the rear seat and the trunk option.  All of the parts to put the bike back together are there (as well as some extra parts).  I am also including the Clymer manual to help with the rebuild.  Unfortunately. I lost the keys in 2 different moves in the past 4 years.  The bike will probably need new tires. Bidding is being started low so bid often and bid high and give this bike the attention it deserves. Buyer to arrange all shipping and is responsible for all shipping costs.  I am listing it 1X on Ebay to see if it sells and then will also list it locally when and if I have to relist it on Ebay.  Thank you for checking out my auction and good luck.
