    Default 1986 Honda v-65 Magna restoration 2011-12

    I am just finishing my restoration on my Honda. It is a 1986 Honda V-65 Magna. 1100cc. I started the restoration in the fall of 2011. Torn down to just the frame, motor, carbs, and wire harness. Nut and bolt restoration. It is now in its final stages. I am just waiting for two more parts. About 200 hours, all seals have been replaced, everything rechromed, re powder coated, and plenty of new old stock parts.

    Here is just a few teaser pictures

    cool to see...I'm an old V-65 Saber driver myself. Damn I do miss that bike. That thing would just sit and git down the road. Great work on your bike, best of luck with her.

    Dave,
    You mean a v-65 Sabre like this?



    Meet my next restoration. A 1984 v-65 Honda Sabre. The sister bike to my Magna, and my next project! Parts on order now.

    It is up and running now. The seat has to go, but it runs like a peach!

    Thanks Lucky. I live in the Blue Ridge Mts, and it is a great mountain rider! Nimble steering and no head shake on decell.

    I lowered the gears to pick up low end power, I think I may have over done it as the front wheel will loft if I hit it too hard in first or second gear! It had a top stepped of 170mph in od. So I figured I would not want to go that fast! I rebuilt the shaft drive with new seals and springs and it reduced the drive shaft lash to almost nothing even with lower gears in the final drive!

    I ordered the new Corbin seat last week. I am working the kinks out today.

    I just solved my electrical problem. Now I am waiting on my Corbin seat, and I have to work out my suspention issues. I have a custom Racetech front end and I have to work out the bugs.

    Here is a picture of my nos pilot box!



    I have been taking it on short rides. I have been working out the minor leak issues too!

    Hey Mattel, Congrats on having it on the road! And the Blue Ridge is some great riding area. I'm headed to Maggie Valley either tomorrow or Wednesday on my '59, depending on the weather, and I always love doing a hundred miles or so on the Parkway, but even the old highways 11 and 340 are great rides that'll get you where you're going with a little patience. No need to be in a hurry!
