'88 Super Magna
« on: October 11, 2016, 01:20:48 PM »
Picked this one up a few months ago, been off this forum for a while working on my bikes. 14k miles when I got it, got a good deal on it too. The clutch was toast (the mechanic selling it wouldn't believe me when I said so). Put a Barnett Kevlar clutch in it the next week. That is one hell of a clutch...

Had to rebuild the carbs after the crummy fuel filter he put on it let go and flooded them with trash (he "rebuilt" them before selling...yeah right).



















Post carb rebuild:



In it's natural habitat, next to my friend's '78 CB550.

   Nice One there. Always heard that the sound of those V-4s were something and they had some decent power as well. Have yet to have the opportunity to see, ride or even hear one, as of yet. Bet you get plenty of Great miles on that one.

It's pretty mean from 6k-10k rpm. More power than my 750, but not as silky smooth. Nice for cruising the back roads at high speed.
