[bernard_kew]

Yo Yo,

 

Thankx for all the replys. Wow finally ONE magna owner replied haha. I saw one white and one black on the road before. And yes indeed its very reliable. I ever saw on the net that the rating was given 9.8 for reliability. And till now i still riding it. And it KICKS man hahaha. So sorry dude. i just changed to a camera phone finally. Will get the picts tml k. Stay tune.

 

V45, yours is laid up ah. Pity dude. Wats your bike colour. Ha mine also FG plate hee hee. Can you imagine so old already the bike and still so good condition. Gosh. Its like it will run forever. So wat bike you riding now?

 

Dreamwalker; so which year magna you looking at? cos this is the only version that is shaft driven. As for the chain one i not too sure but i knw there is a Philipino rider loved his magna very much.

 

Throttle; Thanx for your attest dude. so wat bike you riding?

 

Thanx for all your replys. Will post my magna once i took a photo. cheers everyone

Hello Bernard.

 

Last week, someone mentioned that a Super Magna was for sale here in the

Philippines. I went to have a look and sure enough, it was a Super Magna.

You can always tell by the 4 pipes " pointing to heaven". Hahahaha...

 

It was blue color and by a quick glance, it seems to be in its original state.

Its been neglected and just exposed to the weather. Rust has been creeping in.

I'm still toying with the idea if i would make it my project bike. I already have

a 1997 Magna. But to own a classic limited edition, collectors bike would be

a great achievement.

[bernard_kew]

Hi One Headlight,

 

Yeah its definately worth as a project bike. But must really see the condition of the bike. as for rust i think it can be cured. (if you have lots of cash) hahaha. cos its really a limited bike and US they are crazy abt this bike. Try look out in the Super Magna Owner Group webpage. They still have yearly meets. Check out the way they loved their bike. SLURRP!!!! haha.

 

Thankx for the reply. BTW i have taken pic of my bike dudes, will upload it when i get back home cos now at work and dun have data cable hee hee.

 

And One Headlight. Loved your bike dude. Read your post. I love the way you love your bike. Cheers to you Magna Brother. you are one true bike lover.

[bernard_kew]

Will ur side box get stained by the exhaust?

Btw, wea did u get the sissybar backrest from?

[bernard_kew]

Wow so many replys hahaha,

 

Firstly One Headlight; Yeah thankx dude. But its lucky for me that the previous owner has taken good care of it. I think he had chrome it before so thus if use polish can still bring out some of the shine but its been kept too long. But the amazing thing is the engine. Its like it will last forever, like wat the magna owners say.

 

maniahk; The number plate is FG. I think all magnas this version you see will be FG or FH. Hee hee.

 

^bird^; Well you can go ah boy for that sissy bar back rest. Alot of other bike also put but i think they remove it since its too heavy but for magna its ok cos the rear is too light. As for the box yeah it will stain but it the best box that doesnt cover the beaut of the exhaust. And if it stains just clean it off lor anyway wash every week ma hee hee.

 

thanx y'all feast you guys with one more photo. keke

 

Regards,

Bernard

[One Headlight]

Will the chrome rear tire cover fit my '97 magna?

It looks really sweet on your rear tire.

[bernard_kew]

Hi One Head Light,

 

Hmmm this i wouldnt know. And thankx it does look clean eh cos no groove for cleaning. Hee Hee.

 

But its shaft driven so im not so sure if it can fit yours. or mabbe you can change the whole wheel?

 

I've seen steed change to phantom rear cos steeds rear i think its a headache for them. The spokes are so close and the chain splatter the lube after a while and cant totally clean it.

 

Best is hard chrom the whole wheel just spray water and its done ha. Just my idea too but no money and wont ride that much if i chrome. Cos TOO PRECIOUS hahaha.

I had a chrome wheel cover mounted on my steed VLX a few years back.

I wonder if it'll work on my magna since the steed was chain driven anyway.

The only difference was that the mounting screws were on the outside.

It was an aftermarket product of Daytona.

 

 

Here's a pic of the rear wheel from my steed VLX.

OH MY GOD. Nice wheel man dude. hmmm this i really dunno but do you change the wheel yourself? or mabbe you wanna ask your workshop if they have other kinna after market cover for your magna.

I sold my Steed about six years ago.

 

 

I remember seeing the covers in a catalog from a dealer.

Maybe I could ask if it'll fit a magna.

[bernard_kew]
