1980sHonda Gold Wing
Ember started out as a ratty old red Gold Wing, a big late-80s tourer with plenty of miles and even more stories. It's ours, and it's getting the full treatment: teardown, cleanup, and a rebuild documented in hundreds of project photos.
Concept renders show where it's headed, and the Wrench Ai set records the troubleshooting along the way. The Completed set stays empty until it rolls out of the shop.
New tires are already on. Grab a coffee. There are a lot of pictures.
