I've got a voltmeter on my Magna I think I paid about 20$ at a R/C hobby shop. No external power required I have it directly between my battery + and -. My 12v usb was 9$ from Canadian tire, I just cut off the alligator clips and soldered on some extra wire and some terminals to connect direct...

That 08 from Cycleworld looks nice, bit high km but that just proves it can handle the day-to-day. My 2015 300 had 35k when I sold it. I would go there and offer Gary $4000 cash and see what he says

I understand, just be prepared to take a step back and really think about it, you don't need to settle on a specific bike. Summer is coming, many people will change their mind and put their bike up for a quick sale price and you can swoop in to get the deal. Then again, if money isn't the issue...

Yeah, but he did mention "when I am coasting in gear about to come to a stop or rpms are going down." which would be clutch engaged. Like I said, I don't actually know anything about slipper clutches, but IMO that sound would be something loose and resonating. My CBR300 had a nasty gas cap...

Cycle World at Sheppard and McCowan will take walk-ins for safety, its $95. They really check it well too, found the tiniest notch in my steering bearings when I got my Magna certified. They even had a proper needle bearing upgrade kit in stock to fit my old beater. I've bought lots of gear and...

I read a quote once, it went something like: "Not riding your motorcycle to keep the km's down is like not ****ing your wife to keep her tight for the next guy." Anyway, sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.

Sounds like something simple, vibrating gas cap or fairing somewhere. Might be a resonance of some sort. Clutch in loosens it up and lets it vibrate/resonate. Wheel bearings, loose brake caliper or pads, worn sprockets, something like that. If it was your chain you would feel surging when giving...

I think you're making the right choice. IMO 90% of what people think is decided within the first second they see you. On a SS that gives you a certain rep right off the bat. Sure it's mostly riders/haters and their family that will assign this label (lets say 25% of the road population), but as...

Thanks all :) Been very fun and lots of learning. Went for a safety on Saturday and had a hiccup. There was the slightest notch in the headtube bearings, and I mean slight. But, better safe than sorry. Picked up an All Balls needle bearing kit and did the job myself in about 4 hours. Froze the...

Me too, the last one was good. Ended up being mostly about skirts and heels but hey, I'm not complaining :)

Re: Careful out there ...big winds and Tstorms All the houses on the east side of my street had shingles ripped off!

I had a few people hounding me for my address when I sold my bike, didn't give it to anyone until they were on their way to come see it. Also heard all the low ball excuses. "Its very far" So? "it might need this or that" It doesn't. "It's my first can I get a deal?" I'm selling used you're...

I noticed that on my cbr, not many cruiser waves. On my magna I haven't missed a wave or head nod yet. I always try and return one or a head nod if possible. I tend to wave to a lot of kids and old folks but not ebikes, pirates or slingshot/spyder things

I have not rebuilt the front piston, the rear is a drum and working very well. I have been told that a few times now, it's on my list of to-dos in the near future. The front is currently working well despite being a little oiled up from the leaky fork. Current plan is to change pads, lines, and...

Thanks, I am planning to do new fuel lines and brake lines along with a CB450 choke relocation after I put some miles on it. I'll check that out

Thanks all! I get ya, I know some will not like the repaint and led's, but I personally couldn't stand the huge pitted chrome oem blinkers. Also the mirrors mount to the cylinders and are about a 90% identical copy of the OEM, just black. I'm not trying to do a cafe racer or bobber, so I won't...

Left fork leaked badly. Made my own seal-mate and cleaned them but still leaked. Ordered and installed new oil seals, dust seals and fresh Dexron ATF oil. Battery had died overnight twice in a row. New 12amp battery, filled it up and charged it, installed and replaced breather tube. Also...

New JT front and OEM rear sprockets. EK SROZ-2 gold o-ring chain. The chain guard had been damaged when the original chain broke so I cleaned it out and hammered it back into shape New Duro shoes. New seat. The old one had split really bad. Plans to shorten and lower the original seat...

I bought a 1984 V30 Honda Magna with 43k early April this year after selling my first bike, a 2015 CBR300R. I had put ~35000km on in 2 seasons and decided I wanted something a bit older I could fix up and mod a little bit. I waited until I found a bike that sounded and ran very strong, with...
