Hardtail Magna, super. Prachtig gedaan!

[boostedboys]

I just went and picked that same bike up now I'mma follow you and make my bobber thanks for the great build

This is a beauty! Nice work.

I was recently rear ended on my '83 Magna, and it took some serious damage...still await assessment from insurance, but was already tossing around the idea of bobbing it out this winter!

I would really like to replicate or have mine very similar to this, with a few of my own personal touches and style, but haven't a clue how or where to start!?!
I really have almost no knowledge of mechanics, electronics, and/or fabricating to make it happen...

Beautiful bike my friend. Thanks for some ideas. You should do a talk/walk over of some of the things you did. 

[Petterhoi]

Beautiful! Really good job here buddy. Magna is my dream bike to bobb out :)

[PerN]

What an amazing job you did. Wish I had your skills to det the same to my 1100c

[ronniepaulinc]

it looks like you took the original buckhorns and just bent them out to a reasonable position! I am prolly gonna steal that idea from you and how you did those exhaust tips too while I am at it!

[fullautoglockable]

hey Peter I'm building the same bike. I'm having problems with the stance I cut 1/2 inch off the kickstand but it still wants to fall over when I turn the handlebar yo the right did you you anything to yours.

Nice build man! What did you use to make the bike hard tailed? I was looking around at kits but they are all always so expensive. Did you just use tubing and weld it on?

[VTEC]

Beautifull job! How long have you been riding it? Is the transfers case seems to crack or break with a rear rigid mount? Did you somehow locked the main swivel point to get a real rigid rear suspension? Thx!

I completely lucked into one of these bikes "('83 750) for free! It is in ok shape and runs like complete shit currently but the guy admitted to me that he attempted to rebuild the carbs on his own and has NO CLUE what he was doing. Fortunately I've been a mechanic for over a decade. I'll have this thing running perfect in no time.

I've been searching the web for a few days trying to get ideas of what direction to go with it once it's running. I'm thinking this is what I'll end up doing. I will be going on long rides every weekend though so I'll just keep the suspension in the rear. But this is a great job!

Nice man.. Where did you relocate your fuse box and stuff that was originally located under the seat on the rear mud guard? Im having issues thinking of how im going to relocate it

[ogreactual]

How did you go about relocating, and cleaning up, the electronics and wiring harness?

[shahrokhfazli]

I absolutely loved this build, I have to ask how did you relocate the rear brake and shifter I see the extending bits maybe you have a link to where I can find similar ones?

[mitchell]

Did you lower your front suspension at all when you did this? Are they the stock front forks?

[delonbraamhaar]

ik ben bezig met een soortgelijk project. reserve tank verwijderd, hoe heeft u precies de normale tank aangesloten op brandstofpomp / carburateurs

[blessedbreath]

I have an 84 vf700c I'm working on. where did you find the Guage?

1983 HONDA Magna V45 750 4, 973 Miles with the extra Accessories Package offered for that year by Honda (OEM). This Honda Magna V45 750cc is 35 years old and sat in my garage since 1990. It can be insured at reduced rates because it is a Classic (over 25 years old). I was going to have it serviced and got quotes of $600 to $1, 000 to get it in top running condition; unfortunately for me, Time and Money didn't allow it to happen. I own two other Motorcycles that I enjoy and I lost interest in this one. This was my first bike and I used it mainly to commute to my job in NYC during the 1980's. It was never abused.

Dual Front Disc Brakes - Driveshaft - 16 Valve Four Cylinder V Engine - Four Carburetors - Water/Anti-freeze Cooling System - Auxiliary Fuel Tank - Adjustable Anti-dive Front Forks -Adjustable Rear Shocks - Analog MPH and RPM gauges _Sealed-beam Headlight - Dual Horns - Hydraulic Clutch/Brakes - Cable Throttle - Anti-Breakaway Signal Lights - Dual Rectangular Mirrors and more:

Considering it's age it's in good to very good cosmetic condition. The Engine turns over and almost runs but cannot get it to idle. From trying to start it the battery wears out.

◊ Fuel System Flush, inspect inside main tank and auxiliary tank, Carbs were rebuilt but need to be cleaned re-jetted and float adjustment

Awesome bike!! Im in the middle of a  build also and was wondering where you got those mounts for the directionals?

[dylanstrub]

Amazing Bob job. Thinking if doing the same to my Magna, but had a few questions.
1. How much time and money did you invest in this project?
2. What did you use to attach the frame to the suspension mount?
3. How does the new ridged frame affect the ride?
