83 magna V45 , please help with shifter spring sourcing
« on: February 17, 2020, 07:09:10 PM »
 Hi all,
     Within the past 3 days I've decided I wanted a motorcycle, fell in love with a Honda Magna V45 on craigslist, bought it, and now just trying to fix the 1 issue it has. The shifter spring needs replaced. Part #  24651-MB1-000. Everywhere I search it is discontinued. Anybody know where I can score one of these? Willing to pay extra just to get one of these.Thanks in advance.

 Well, after new tires ( did myself), battery, still have a few problems but I was able to take for a test ride, very hard to shift since still waiting on shift spring from UK , and no damn speedometer but I love this thing! even though I ran it out of gas and had to push it home a half a mile!
 So much I was afraid one day I might want a V65, so hell with it, found a good deal on a project V65 and plan on picking it up Friday!  8)
