I bought the bike off of e-Bay and had it shipped from Washington to TX. I was lucky it came and it looked good. It you don't know anything about the V65 Magna it was the first production bike to ever run in the 10s in the 1/4 mile. It also has a top end of aroud 160 mph the Cycle world mag. est. 171 mph. I have seen 153 mph with two people on it. Crazy I know but it walked to bad with just me on it I could only get it to 148 but that was in 5th gear and it has 6.
All factory options.
I don't have the new pic. yet but I have had the bike completly repainted by a custom paint shop. It has drag style bars and a custom seat on it that has Fear This embroderied on the back. I also moved the peg back about 6 inches by useing the pegs off of a 750 Sabar.
Had a custom seat made for it.
I put the top end oil kit on it, added the K&N filter, Put the 1983 V65 carbs on it they make more HP and I had them rebiult with a K&N jet kit installed, I also added some Loud mouth slash cut 12" megaphone mufflers.
I had new front fork seals installed and aired them up to 11lbs and I put v45 sabar rear shocks on it lowering it about 2".
I put a shorter and wider rear tire and changed the rear gear set from stock to the v45 Sabar rear gear set it gives it more take off.
New stator, new starter, new battery, and Accel super coils, with new plugs.
Finally have it all done except to put some new pic. of the bike on here.
