A LOT of people have asked for "Honda signs, banners, or other cool stuff" so here ya go!! Someone is going to get a GREAT deal on this large Honda Wing. This is being sold for personal use only, to adhere to Honda's request. This is the ultimate Honda collectors piece from the defunct Procycle! It is part of a $20,000.00 fixture, and the sign is already gone. Part of this sign was damaged in the removal, this is the good part that was salvageable. It is the top of the pillar sign that stood in front of the building.

I am awaiting the estimate for this portion of the sign, however knowing what other parts cost, I would guess this to be in the range of $2,500.00 and it is selling this weekend because I do not want to move it again :)

It is 10' wide X 8' tall. It bolts together and works best when backlit. It is about 75 lbs I would guess, so if no one takes it, I will scrap it since it is 100% aluminum.

This is the actual sign prior to being taken down:

Backlight from neon, the words "Powerhouse" were damaged:

Some scratches it sustained. You cannot see it well on this big of a sign.

Hey Frank....Have you talked to Steve from Cycle Broker about this. He's a huge honda guy and collects moto related stuff.

Yes, I did give him opportunity at it. His comment was that if he wanted it he would have purchased all this stuff himself. Since he owns an independant shop, I don't know if he could have purchased it anyway.

A lot of views, no bids yet.

I have one offer for $40. Next :)

I'm surprised some podunk Honda dealer isn't interested. I'm sure that Honda wouldn't like that, but who says they'd ever know.

It would be a shame to send a sign that neat to the scrapper. It's too bad it got damaged.

:) When I saw the title, I thought Frank had a "deal" on a fully decked out Honda Goldwing. :)

Pretty sure that's what the "for personal use" disclaimer is all about. ;)

I don't care about the sign, but any kid who can walk on walls is worth at least a hundred bucks. I could make a million bucks on the circus side show circuit easy.

You have been outbid at $70. Please keep it to at least $10 increments.

I was going to give it until tomorrow at lunch, but then I read my title and realized that would not be fair :(

SOOOOO... Make your final bid now, at 11:59.59 the last bid is accepted unless someone just gets way up there before hand!!!
