I found a white '87 here in the states but found out from the Honda dealer it was made for the Canadian market, dash says "Fatten" where others say Helix. They'd never seen one before. Odometer reads in kilometers and it has a stock spoiler prep with a built in light on the rear. I think after '87 they only offered the American version up there but quite frankly, it's hard to find anything out about it. Helix name is in chrome on trunk and hood but dash plastic is stenciled Fatten. It's got about 15,100 kilometers on it. Previous owner did like you did and drilled speaker sound holes but Velcroed felt on top. I found some 3" chrome and black covers on eBay I hope to go back and retrofit in place of the felt to hide the holes and buffer accidental water. Love these bikes!!!
I'm looking to buy myself a second hand motorcycle. Daily trip to work is 30km round trip a day. Otherwise don't use it much, except for an occasional trip somewhere. So highways with 120km/hour limit sometimes. What's your opinion, should i get a Helix or nc750x DCT. It's between those two i'm having trouble making up my mind.
Hi Tony love your videos! I took my grandson for a ride on my 97 it started out great before the rain moved in lol. My Helix stalled and wouldn't run if I gave it gas I am thinking old plug wire or coil. I had a shadow that did the same thing. Do you have any ideas 💡🤔
@@philliporcutt5195 check intake snorkel make sure it’s all hooked up make sure air filter is not wet. Glad you liked the videos and thanks for watching
WOW! Very nice Tony! You really have put a lot of work into that little Helix! It's sort of a "mini Goldwing". The paint job looks great from what I can see and those accessories really add a nice touch! Keep up the good work and thanks for all the videos. They really do help me a lot and give me confidence when working on my 04 Helix. Thanks!
Hi I'm Wylie a new subscriber from Fl just 2 minutes ago 9:25pm. Wed Feb 15 2023 Just got me a new toy almost exactly like yours same color and everything except maybe the year. Can wait to learn some stuff tricks etc from you sir
@@1tonysgarage I think I found the one in your video. Was wiring it up easy? If you made a tutorial on how you wired that up and your USB outlet too that would be very much appreciated. You've helped so much with all your videos so far, and thanks to you my new to me helix is pretty much in perfect condition mechanically now.
@@johndaltondiscgolf7870 thank you for watching I have a wiring video on the tach no video on power port. I wired the power port to the radio plug under inspection cover

I bought an 87 last week with 2, 021 miles. I put 170 on it thia week.
