You deserve so many more subs!! I still think the V65 Magna is the coolest looking motorcycle of all time. Something about them! What a great video man! Thank you!
That was one of the most beautiful videos I've ever watched. Incredible job! I just finished restoring an '83 Sabre. Not nearly as extensive as you've done with this Magna. I hope to find one of these next. It is definitely quite a feeling to bring something like this back to life. So ahead of it's time!
@@stevenwlaura1 This is really incredible to read. Thank you so much! No matter what level it's done to, restorations are extremely intense. Worth it all on these bikes!! Thank you very much for sharing!
Man thank the lord !!! I have a V65 that was taken apart over 5 years ago and am trying to put it all back together but have been really stuck on how it all goes .Thanks to just a couple of things I have seen here have been such a big help just seeing things that I seem to have lost over time and moving house, I am really hoping I can do this project this coming year as I ain't gettin any younger so big thanks for what you have put on here as I need all the help I can get to get her up and running .Bits have been an issue for me here in the UK so I am having to use cleaned up original pieces where I can , I have a Haynes manual but it isn't a big help .Many thanks to you and have a fabulous Christmas and new year .😊👌👍
Oh man! I appreciate the magnitude of your project. I'm so glad the videos help!! You're encouraged to send progress photos and or questions about the bike, earned philosophies on life, or anything else to buildguild@uneducatedengineer.com Good luck! THANK YOU!!
I love this, all the stuff I didn't do - this video does not do justice to the amount of hidden work polishing, taking the time to clean those awkward corners, finish, finish, finish. I salute your modest display of so much effort. Bike looks great, now I have to do mine properly. :)
Right you are. lots of hours. and countless camera battery changes in the middle of shots. then there's the tb of film to get lost in!!! 😵💫🐲 The project was a pleasure to complete, including all the time spent crying about it. haha. Your salute brings me great honor 🎖
Absolutely beautiful! The reveal was awesome. Congratulations on the success.I know the challenge it was for the undertaking to complete this project. I have two 1984s myself. I have slated to do the same thing to at least one of them. I'm finding parts to be a challenge though. I was wondering if you would be willing to share your sources.
Nice restoration but did you install a better oil lines into the rear cylinder?? Common on the magnas the rear cylinder don’t get enough oil and you end up burning the cams
@@vintagemotorcyclerepair yes but the oem oil lines are to restricted and oil pressure is not enough to get enough oil to the rear cylinders , there is a kit on e bat you can buy and install is a very easy installation but your magna will last longer
Thank you!! Unfortunately, it is not for sale. The story of this one is that, once upon a time, a v65 was loved, then lost. Until one day a faded, forgotten shop ornament of decades past appeared. 2 years of whip-cracking labor and quite a few parts later, the fantasy manifested. Thank you for watching! I wish you the best of luck finding your 83 again!!
I have the exact bike and don't wanna sell it runs great but I'm indecisive weather to keep it or sell it but I know I'm never going to own another one in its condition.........can you help me decide.....as I know if I do sell it it's going to be a major mistake...love your vid and will share
@@Alexgomez411 Once upon a time, a v65 Magna was ridden and loved and then given away. A heartbreaking mistake. Fast forward many, many years later, and the best condition v65 that could be found was this one. It was pretty rough, and it took all of this plus everything I didn't show in the videos, and some crying and whining to bring it to this level. So. 1) if you already have one, 2) if you don't Need to sell it, 3) and there's no real problem with it, Then, other than all the regular servicing it would probably love to get, I can't fathom a reason to get rid of it.
@@vintagemotorcyclerepair thank you for the advice mine does need the pain in the ass valve adjustment and maybe a few nick nacks but still a good runner I’ll keep it
@@vintagemotorcyclerepair I feel you, mine was a hope and a dream turned nightmare, then dream, the realisation I still need to restore it, but gonna put some miles on it and take it camping first :) All my effort went into getting 1 more V65 alive again in the UK, now time to enjoy and then restore - I think
38 years and 72.000 miles I still love riding mine 😊

@@xangoboy1 This is the comment I've been waiting for! Hahaha. Thank you sir. Please let this video pay respect to the great Honda Jim 😉
Incredible! What a beauty, restored! Thank you for restoring this motorcycle.
Who restored who!?! hahaha. Thank you very much
Good build! I have always liked these. I had an 01 VFR, loved it. My neighbor has the 86 Magna 550..I might have to get the small one!
Thank you! The Magna really is a unique bike, and it's pretty incredible to ride.
Congrats! Nicely done !!!
Thank you!! 🥰
Nice!!! I really liked the second half. Now I want another one.
@@corneliuspeters990 There is a new channel coming soon, it is all about the 2nd half stuff. 🤩🤩🤩
I love it….. your work that is …
aaaawwww!!!! thx! 🙂🙃🫠
The road test proves these are truly fast?! 😂
Hahaha yeah! Blasting through neighborhoods at 200kph, about as slow as this beast can go. 😉
Thanks for watching

Great video bro, I'll sub
hahaha niiice. Thank youu!
@@vintagemotorcyclerepair Keep em comin'
Pretty awesome 😎
I love it except the wind heald !
I'm always to and fro about wind screens, but after hundreds of miles, I prefer them. 👩🔧
Nice restoration but did you install a better oil lines into the rear cylinder?? Common on the magnas the rear cylinder don’t get enough oil and you end up burning the cams
@@Mannix2023 That's something nice to know! I haven't heard of that one yet. When I adjusted the valves, all the valvetrain looked good.
@@vintagemotorcyclerepair yes but the oem oil lines are to restricted and oil pressure is not enough to get enough oil to the rear cylinders , there is a kit on e bat you can buy and install is a very easy installation but your magna will last longer
@@Mannix2023 That does sound like a good thing to do! I will look into that. Thanks for sharing!!!
Would you consider selling it? I had a maroon 83 model too. Would love to have one again. BTW, great workmanship.

Looks nice, well done. Is your victory ride in Colorado ?
Thank you! Yes, Colorful Colorado :)
