This is absolutely astounding - what a phenomenal job! Thanks so much for sharing such a beautiful piece of history and a gorgeous bike - excellent restoration job! You should be extremely proud of yourself!!!
My dad bought his '84 out of the box in '85. He sold it when my older sister was born in '88. Now he's 61, and wishes he would have never sold it. But everybody said it was time to grow up and be a dad. He relives his youth by watching these videos. Ha Ha!
Are these bikes hard to work on? Are the carbs hard to get to, for repair, maintenance, and making adjustments? Are parts easy to get? Your advice would be greatly appreciated, as I'm thinking to get one of these.
@@BEEBEE159 they have there moments...carb removal can be challenging sometime.as for rebuilding there not bad.internal parts can be a issue but alot of parts out there..but remember your dealing with a 30+ yr old machine.
I had a V30 that looked like it just rolled off the production line, the cleanest one I'd ever seen, until this one! The engine casings and rocker head covers look like they've been quality triple chrome plated, if you used a buffer on the alloy then you've done a stellar job with that! Beautiful machine, probably cleaner and shinier than one you'd find in an actual museum!
A beautiful bike, brought back to better than original! I had a New 1985 V65 from 86-92, then got busy with life. Bought a used one 10 years ago (not in great shape, but OK) just to ride and still take it out for 1,000 miles a year. If they still made them, I would buy one new. Enjoy and ride safe.
U have know idea what great memories you sterd in me when I saw this video ! I was lucky enough to have owned one of these magnificent machines, I was thinking that mine was a eighty three model, but after watching your video I am a little confused. Was eighty four the first production year model ?. Gotta tell you as a sixteen year old kid in eighty three, when I saw the commercial advertising this bike I was blown away!. It was impactful for me I still remember it was on a Saturday morning sitting in my parent's house while watching TV with an abnormal large bole of cornflakes cereal, and by the time the commercial was over and I regained my composure, I realized I'd lost my spoon and my cornflakes were now soggy. and I just remember thinking I have to own one of these bikes... own a whem a months later a friend of mine suggested that we should ride together to the next town over to the local Honda dealership to look at new bikes, at the time, I was riding a seventy nine Kawasaki LTD Five Fifty four that I had traded a Honda CB one Twenty-five for and that I had to get running, which I had managed to do, but had yet been able to get the bike to hit one all four cylinders. Number four still wasn't firing, I,d determined that it was a bad coil issue but the bike was still rideable, but just barely especially with my hefty friend on the back.and if wasn't enough, it was a rainy day in April. but the o'l Kawasaki LTD Five Fifty four managed to pull us there at a top speed of about fifty one mph.walked in too the dealership to dream about someday owning one of these magnificent machines and how cool we'd be, and how we'd then have all the girls attention while riding our new Honda motorcycle. Was soon noticed by a friendly salesman who said to me, so I see your interested in this bike.he say's why don't you go ahead and climb on and see how she feels,I remember questioning myself whether or not I was wearthy too and was this just another one of those wonderful adalasient dreams I'd been having since seeing that commercial on a Saturday morning enjoying my cornflakes. This wonderfully magnificent machine fit me like a glove, I instantly lost track of all space and time.i could hardly believe I was sitting on the bike that I had had so many wonderful dreams about.when I finally regained my composure, the salesman was about to tell me about the bike of all my dreams, but before he could utter one more word I rudely interrupted and informed him that I was sitting on the Honda VF - Sixty five mana Ellen Hundred motorcycle and it was the Fastest production motorcycle in the world!... hey some what shocked at my quick response to his attempt to inform me all about the amazing stats of the product. and then pick up were I'd left off.asking if I'd been thinking about maybe owning one myself, I thought only ever day since seeing it in the commercial you fool! but then I was forced to face reality again when the dream bike was going to cost me . and how I could afford to ever be able to come up with a down payment, while working pumping gas at a local station after school. My heart sunk while I pondered this and reality set in. still this day I believe that this man seeing the joy and excitement fade from my face caused him to say, what that bike your riding now and would I consider using it as a trade in for the down payment. I had to ask him to please repeat the question . did you just say that I could possibly have a chance to really own this a bike like this. Now I new this must be one of my dreams.but before I could answer he said why don't you pull the bike your riding now around back to the shop and let my mechanic take a look at it. and instantly I was back to the reality of my fincail woo's and had to realize that I would probably never be able to afford it. I was already thinking about the long ride home in the rain on my o'l Kawasaki.imean come on there was know way once there machic tested my bike that they would ever consider it ass a trade in for bike like this. But just as I was getting ready to except my fate the salesman says to me the most amazing words I'd ever heard in my young life, he says to, I think we can work something out !..😂 I was floating about sixty five inches off the ground at that point.lol. Well, very, very long story short, On a rainy day in April I rode the bike of all my dreams away and it provided me with all the joy I new it would when I saw it that first time. I'm now fifty eight and five beautiful children later I wish I could tell you I was able to still have the her , but what can I say children are expensive,! Lol . but I have new dream now about once again trying to find and figureing out how to afford my self the bike that made a sixteen year old kids dreams come true.thank you for reminding me of one of the greatest times in my life next to the birth of my five beautiful children!.I heard you say in the video that this would probably be one of your last frame off restoration 's and even though I can't think of a better bike for you to end with, I hope you what you may think that is simply for informing other bike enthusist about these old magnificent machines, well for this o'l man it's been an amazing trip back in time.the date for the video says it was made five years ago.that being said I really hope to find that you've reconcirded and are still helping o'l fellas like me remember a simpler and wonderful time in there life's. Frank;from TN.thanks
That thing is sweet my friend! I had a 83, deep blue in color. Wish mine would have looked 1/2 as nice! Them forward pegs,, make all the difference with that backrest. I also had the same. Very very nice ride!
Looks as good as mine... 1983 blue metallic, just over 10,000 miles, like new, all original, original owner! I have cable lock, tool kit, windshield, original seat with sissy bar all chrome with a Golden Eagle Emblem with V65 Magna written through the emblem. All accessories were purchased when bike was new for the V65 Magna, that also means chrome soft grips, engine saver with chrome highway pegs
Old video and an old bike but man that baby sure looks fine and would look real good under the legs of this old man. Wish they still made these. I like that extra back rest too.
Just gorgeous. I've had three v65's, a v45 and a v30(wife's). Still own an exquisite v65 (and the v30) that would rival yours but have to say mine would fall short. KG sliders are like hens teeth. Frame up restore is no joke. Undercut trans is above and beyond. I couldn't hear you well but am guessing you did the three yellow wire mod, fork brace, and K&N intake. All pretty standard for serious v65 owners. Enter that baby into some bike shows if you still have it. Excellent job.
@depush - I have these same bikes currently that I'm trying to restore (two Magna's and a Sabre - two V65 and a V45) but not familiar with the three mods you mentioned. Could you explain or share what these mods (three yellow wire mod, fork brace, and K&N intake) are please?
@@MatthewJFitzpatrick sure, The stock plug on the three yellow wires between the stator (alternator) and R/R (regulator/rectifier) is known to melt and short out. When they melt hard they take the side cover with it. Cutting out the plug and soldering the wires directly correct this issue. The fork brace right above the front tire fender has been known to crack. Somebody and possibly more than one somebody has CNC’d a steel fork brace that fits underneath the original and bolts right in. An eBay search might turn one up. Replacing the OEM air filter in the air box with a good K&N oiled filter well let it breathe better. No one I know or even know of has ever successfully modified the airbox. It’s best just to put a good breathing filter in there. If you can still find a good Kiker four into one exhaust that’s also a good mod for more horsepower. A rejet would be in order. All of these I got from long tested ideas from back in the day.
@@depush Thank you so much I greatly appreciate you taking the time to tell me all this so thank you again! I will definitely look into all three of these mods and implement them. I'm still kinda new to the Honda Magna/Sabre's but getting more and more familiar with them as time goes by. One last question which if you could answer would be a huge help - assuming I do the K&N filter (I was actually going to do this regardless because I've had lots of success with them in the past even with using the factory airbox in other vehicles) and possibly a four-into-one exhaust (if I can find one), WHAT RE-JETTING DO YOU RECOMMEND (JET SIZES)? Is there a general way to calculate this for any bike? I have a lot of vintage bikes I'm restoring from the 80's and I know that most (if not all) bikes from the 80's came WAY TOO LEAN from the factory. So let's say I just do a K&N filter in the original airbox, how many steps up (sizes) should I go on the jets to make them run better and get more power out of them? This is the one thing that I just can't figure out - is there some generic formula to calculate this? As a reference and example, here are the bikes I have --> '83-'85 Magna/Sabre's; '81 Yamaha XS400 Special, '80 XS850, '84 XV1000 Virago; and '87 Suzuki Savage LS650. Thank you so much again I really do appreciate it - any additional help and insight you could provide would be fantastic! PS - I hope you had a great 4th of July weekend!
At our shop us mechanics tried to hide when these came in for work! LOL The carbs in the valley between the "V" are an absolute bitch to work on. A Nightmare. A common job was the bike had been left sitting - and the carbs all clogged up with rotting gas. I swear there are a million jets in these carbs - all to be painstakingly cleaned out. Cleaning them out was a $1,000 job.
Hello Duke! Beautiful bikes you've built! I've got a 1986 Magna V65 that i'm restoring and i'm very curious where you got that lower left chrome piece just behind the shifter? I would love to get that addition added to my bike! Thank you so much!
Hi there! That is a gorgeous restoration. Yes, I know that this is an older post. I'm curious to know if you are still around, alive and well. Do you still have a few Magna's of the V65 variety and do you have one for sale? I had a V65 for a number of years and I regret ever selling it. I am looking for one again that I can ride to the end of my riding days. I have been on bikes for 50 years and my time is running short. I want to close my riding days on a bike that gave me the best grin factor. Cheers and Thanks - Mike
Beautiful V65 Magna! Nice job on the restoration. I have a 1985 V65 that is the same color in mint condition. Where did you get your seat? It looks really comfortable. I'd like to get one of those for my bike.
hey man! im guessing this is a long shot considered the video was posted 5 years ago. but what seat is that? i got a 83 v45 magna. could you tell me about what kind of hardware/brackets and seat you are using? that thing looks sweet. thanks.
Nice bike, I have just purchased a 1985 V65, where would you recommend buying parts? It looks like I currently may need a horn, one of mine isn't working. Thanks
I Have a 1983 V65 Magna Midnight Blue, I'm also the original owner, it still looks just like it rolled off the showroom floor. The only thing I have done is put new tires, brakes, change oil, tune up, normal maintenance on it. The options I have on it, are from when I bought it new, V65 windshield, soft grips, engine saver, chrome highway pegs, & a sissy bar & pad. On the back of my sissy bar, it's all chrome with a huge Gold Eagle that says V65 Magna in blue, the same color as my bike My best friend has a 1986 candy apple red one, that has way more chrome than this one. He was a previous Harley owner that upgraded his 76' 1/2 Wide Glide, when he finished with that Harley, the only thing stock was the frame! So you can just imagine what it look liked, the 86' model came with a lot of chrome to start off with, do some research if you really like this bike. Like the first muscle cruiser ever, & the fasted bike made for a couple of years, check out You Tube: ruclips.net/video/uCQ_9b-DDAk/видео.html & ruclips.net/video/iORT5E6Hbkc/видео.html The things that were standard on it were: self canceling blinkers, you can lock the steering on the bike with flashers, & without, front brakes with 4 anti-dive settings with fluid & air in the front forks, hydraulic clutch, shaft driven, water cooled, 6 speed gear box, with gages that show neutral, what gear you are in, plus low fuel, oil, high beam, stop light. & the 1983 model had a 6 foot optical cable alarm, very loud.
Rocky Mountain Ras --- Oh! I forgot to tell you the sound is right on, when we went downtown, you should here our bikes against the buildings it is so cooool!
I have one just like it restored and ready for sale! $2000. Chrome does need a little polishing but it's the same color with rainbow flakes in the paint. Back rest configuration is for rear rider only. None for driver. Leave a reply if interested.
I'm glad to see this bike being rebuilt to perfection.... Great job brother!!!!! I have a hand me down 85 v42 vf700 I'm rebuilding now. Where did you get the new switches for the handle bars?
Do you wanna sell it I'm in Douglasvile, Ga I have 1994 Honda Shadow VT1100 Cneed a 4spd tranission there no tech wanna to fix it with 40,000 mi can you help me.
This is probably the most beautifull magna i have ever seen

I miss the 80s ,but I relive it with my 86Vmax for the last 32 years and counting.
Man you really should keep rebuilding these bikes. You have a gift!
As a fellow magna owner you did a beautiful job restoring her.nice to see a real american classic.

Where do you find side covers new and shiny?
Man back in the day I had one, black in color, but otherwise set up just like this one. Really takes me back to days gone by.
I had a V30 that looked like it just rolled off the production line, the cleanest one I'd ever seen, until this one! The engine casings and rocker head covers look like they've been quality triple chrome plated, if you used a buffer on the alloy then you've done a stellar job with that!
Beautiful machine, probably cleaner and shinier than one you'd find in an actual museum!
Beautiful Magna...! I bought and loved one of these but she was one year older. Polished aluminum stands out nicely. Love it...!
Legend bike of the 80’s was king of the street
duke 62 --- You were hard to here in the beginning, but when you started the bike up forget it, could not here a word! Love your bike, very nice job!
True. Maybe it's for the better.
A beautiful bike, brought back to better than original!

The V65 Magna was only made 1983 - 1986, the V45 from 83'-86' was the closes it ever got to the V65.
What a beautiful job on the Magna. Can't hear a word your saying, but the Magna says it all. Great job.
I had an 1983, the same color. I upgraded the seat, with a Corbin saddle. Great bike, smooth and fast. It had a factory alarm and cable lock.
One sweet V65! Had one in the 80's.

The only thing I have done is put new tires, brakes, change oil, tune up, normal maintenance on it. The options I have on it, are from when I bought it new, V65 windshield, soft grips, engine saver, chrome highway pegs, & a sissy bar & pad. On the back of my sissy bar, it's all chrome with a huge Gold Eagle that says V65 Magna in blue, the same color as my bike My best friend has a 1986 candy apple red one, that has way more chrome than this one. He was a previous Harley owner that upgraded his 76' 1/2 Wide Glide, when he finished with that Harley, the only thing stock was the frame! So you can just imagine what it look liked, the 86' model came with a lot of chrome to start off with, do some research if you really like this bike. Like the first muscle cruiser ever, & the fasted bike made for a couple of years, check out You Tube: ruclips.net/video/uCQ_9b-DDAk/видео.html & ruclips.net/video/iORT5E6Hbkc/видео.html The things that were standard on it were: self canceling blinkers, you can lock the steering on the bike with flashers, & without, front brakes with 4 anti-dive settings with fluid & air in the front forks, hydraulic clutch, shaft driven, water cooled, 6 speed gear box, with gages that show neutral, what gear you are in, plus low fuel, oil, high beam, stop light. & the 1983 model had a 6 foot optical cable alarm, very loud.
