http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcy/871384949.html How can I pass this up? Guy said it has a dent in the fuel tank, and needs a turn signal fixed. Other than that, what would stop me from picking this thing up?

I just talked to him. His email shows he's a trusted seller on a few auto parts forums. Everything on the bike works fine, but the fuel tank has a nasty dent, and the headlight "cup" is dented. I assume replacing a fuel tank is sort of easy, based on what I'm reading here on the internet. Click here for the full 640x479 image.  Click here for the full 640x479 image.

Z3n posted:Bike looks good. Replacement tanks may be hard to come by, especially in good, stock condition, but just buy it and ride it. gently caress cosmetics Yeah, I'm basically of the same opinion, although he will throw in a tank from a V45 that almost fits. Whatever that means. He also said the rear tire is dry-rotted, which is to be expected on a bike thats 24 years old with under 2k miles. How much can I expect to pay for a set of new tires? Front Tire 100/90-16, Rear Tire 130/90-18.

Picked up the Magna today, for $50 less than what was advertised. The owner included a trickle charger, replacement gas tank, replacement radiator shield, replacement turn signal, unused front tire, and a refurbished front wheel, disc included. It will need a little work here and there, but it runs, and I'm geeked. What have I gotten myself into now. What I'd like to replace first is the front fork stabilizer. The OE part was a flimsy little piece of aluminum. It sits between the front shocks, and according to Honda wasn't a load-bearing device. Nonetheless, lots and lots of Magna owners find this part cracked, and therefore want it replaced. Supposedly I can make one myself, but where I would find 3/16" aluminum is beyond me. I don't plan on putting on any serious riding miles until spring. Update edit: This thing is fantastic. I can't wait to fix it up and get it on the road. I drove it up and down my subdivision a few times, and it is really smooth and powerful. It blows away the bikes I had to endure at the MSF testing.

MetalClawWolf posted:Be VEEEEEEERY careful with that thing. Just because its old doesn't mean its a good first bike. Magnas have killed a lot more riders than you'd think. I've read lots of stories about the V45 and Super Magna models leaving a trail squidly remains. From what I'm reading, and based on the very little I test drove this bike, the suspension is quite soft, and bottoms out with heavier riders. I'm a very cautious guy by nature, and finding this bike's handling limits is not something I plan on doing.

Stoic Commie posted:http://annarbor.craigslist.org/mcy/906751980.html Be sure to note that those pictures are from another website. http://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/Honda_CM400 I'd ask for some pictures via email before checking it out. I'd ask about the solenoid/stator whatever problem too. If its an easy fix, he would have done it. NVaderJ fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Nov 5, 2008 |
