I also have a super magna.......1988 model in black .....also doing mine up........will keep watching this video of yours for inspiration...!!!!!!!!...cheers.
Nice rebuild mate! You've done the exact thing that i want to do to my front-wheel too. Digging the latest colorscheme but im thinking about keeping mine red. Ive got the 88 model, 750 (6-speed). She needs some TLC to be perfect but i've got the time :)
Zo ! Je super magna is heel erg mooi geworden (y) Goed gedaan ! Ik kwam bij toeval bij je filmpje terecht toen ik wat zat te zoeken naar info over mijn G3 Magna die ik aan het opknappen ben op het moment. :) Misschien ga ik het frame en blok ook maar s onder handen nemen deze winter. Groet uit Rotterdam :)
Nice~! No idea why I didnt think to do this with my super (long gone now) I took some after videos but never anything but pics of the process. & I got TONS of those to put together for a video.
Gran trabajo, tengo una igual, la habia pintado en color rojo, ahora haciendole el motor, y cambiarle el color, el negro es el que mejor le queda, sAludos desde Argentina
Just watched your vid and have to say it's great to see I am not the only one mad enough to do all the work for the love of it lol I am actually bidding on a vf700c as I write this, luckily it is a little better nick than yours when you started but I am sure if I get it I will find loads of things to do for no apparent reason ha ha thanks for the upload
Phenomenal job sir, great work. Do you know if its possible to remove the right side engine cover (clutch side) when the bike is placed on the kickstand? Without having to replace oils etc -
Yes it is. I've done it twice today. With 3 quarts in, NO oil will drip when you have it on the side stand. Use a rubber mallet and don't pry off the cover, and you can even reuse the gasket. Leave all the bolts in the cover when you pull it, except the one holding the generator wire. There are different sized mounting bolts so don't confuse them. You don't have to drop the brake pedal, just move it a little to torque bolts. Take one bolt out of rider peg, loosen the other and let it pivot and hang out of the way.
Man wat mooi en super goed gedaan. Ben ook 26 jaar eigenaar van een SM en hem helemaal aan het nalopen. Niet altijd makkelijk om aan onderdelen te komen. Mooie motor heb je hem nog steeds ?
Great vid, thx for sharing. Planning to do up my magna again soonl. Had it since i was 25 and never getting rid of it ... but two young kids kept me from riding it for the last 4 years. Question: What products did you use for cleaning oxidized engine block, back wheel,exhaust pipes and other chrome and aluminum parts? And now that I am at it, do you know any providers of original spare parts and customized parts? Rgs
aluminum parts: paint biteoff first for cylinder head cover, stator cover and clutch cover. Afther that sanding paper 400 600 800 1200 and if you want 2000. After that polishing. I used Belgom but dont know if thats available where you live. In England you have Davis Silver spares. In Holland where I live I have 2 shops for used parts. Otherwise Ebay
Thanks! I got a used one for a good price. I don’t have the bike anymore, but marving was also a good replacement. Its Italian and still for sale. But they are expensive.
I have a 1996 750 magna and a trying to figure out how to change the clutch plate's,If you know how to do it i would really appreciate any knowledge you know that could help me out brother
I used aluminum foil for the mirrors, bolts, steering nut,cooling hose and several other parts. My shock absorbers were too far gone so replaced them. The engine covers were done by sanding and polishing

Even after 10 years... Great job dude! Great job!
And still saying thanks to the comments 👍🏼😉
That is the prettiest paint job on a magna I ve ever seen. So classy : )
Thanks!

Well done then. Really can't put a price on rebuilding a beauty like this one. It's all the soul. Ride with pride brother.
I did mine in phases. Painting and swingarm was the most expensive and the mufflers. Thanks!
Mooi gedaan,super strak 👍🏼👍🏼
That is so cool . I love your passion you put in to restoring this bike
looks much better with the last paint job, black with stripes! great job
Thnx! Dont have it anymore. Not really a bike for 200km a day but i do miss the character of the bike

Bryan Eekelder thnx! I bought the wheel like this. Comes from the 1988 Honda VT1100. Sold the bike in 2014.

thnx Hernan! Greetz back!
Excellent choice on that paintjob! If I can find a SuperMagna I hope you don`t mind if I use the style!
GRAD 79 GRAD 79 thanks. No problem at all! I know there is also a black silver one here in The Netherlands. Also based on mine.

Dont know anymore. I knew i changed the gasket on the stand but dont know if i removed the oil. Ask v4musclebike.com ;)

Cant help you. See you have a 1996. That's another one. Www.kabalis.com/Supermagna is for the 87 88 type. This one i use as a reference
Ok all good bro thanks for returning a reply
How did you clean rust?
I used aluminum foil for the mirrors, bolts, steering nut,cooling hose and several other parts. My shock absorbers were too far gone so replaced them. The engine covers were done by sanding and polishing
Tried aluminum foil and cocacola/wd40 but I didnt have shiny results it cleared the rust but it stayed blurry.. maybe I need to use some polish
+Mohamed Ghazy indeed After that polish it. Which part specific?
Turn that crap off
