This is my 1984 Honda V-65 Magna. This is my 3rd motorcycle. The 1st was a 1985 V-65 Magna!, I had it for about 1.5 years and sold it when I bought a 1986 Mustang GT Convertible.! Then about 2 years ago I sold the GT and wanted a motorcycle again. So, I found a good deal on a 1985 Honda NightHawk 650.! I paid $1,000 for it. Cleaned it up, rode it for 3 months, put some miles on it and sold it for $1,500. However, I was spoiled and NEEDED a V-65 Magna again. After looking at several bikes, I finally found a NICE one. I paid $1,050 more for it, but I am much happier with it.

I've had 3 different rear tires on the bike. The stock Bridgestone Qualifier, that was replaced with a Cheng Shin Hi-Max. I was quite happy with the Cheng-Shin. I got over 10k miles with it. I wanted to check out other brands though and bought a Kendra Challenger K-657. I am also happy with this tire. I am waiting to see how many miles I get out of it. Then I'll decide if the next tire will be another Cheng-Shin or Kendra. The front tire was also the stock Qualifier. I replaced it with a Bridgestone Spitfire. I am also happy with this tire, but I will probably give Cheng-Shin or Kendra a try next time.

Things I've added to this bike:

• Stainless steel braided brake and clutch lines
  
• The "Oil Mod" to get more oil to the heads
• Windshield from JC Whittney
  
• LCD Clock/Voltmeter/Stop Watch from JC Whittney
  
• Foam lever covers from JCW
  
• Custom headlight setup
  
• Blazer driving lights from Wal-Mart
  
• Tank and saddlebag set from JCW
  
• Tail bag (actually a back pack from Big-Lots for $10)
  
• Fork brace "BRACE" SabMag High Tech &Customization Site!
