- Swapping out the handlebars to hopefully get better ergonomics and stop kinking my wrists so much on the original buckhorn bars. It was super simple to swap them to another set, though I had to buy new master cylinders which caused a few minor tweaks to the bike.
The Honda Magna was the first muscle bike that started a craze that has lasted for 40 years. Sporting a 90 degree V4 engine, Hydraulic Clutch, and shaft drive the Honda Magna was a direct attack on Harley. A cult following to this day the Honda Magna is a true classic that deserves more attention from the motorcycle world.

Links in comments for Parts I have used in recent videos. Wrench hard and ride safe!
I just found your channel and it looks great. I've had one of these for 4 years this December and besides from the small petrol tank and having to do a few things to bring it up into this century I love it. One of the first things I did was get rid of those handlebars and replacing them with a set very similar to the ones you put on. I've now gone from getting pins and needles in my hands after about 10 minutes to being able to comfortable ride it for hours. I shall now start following your adventures to see how much you have done compared to me.
Thanks for being here, and I have owned my magna almost as long now. Lots I have done and a number of things left to do. The handlebar swap I should of done first but definitely a major improvement!
i like your videos like how you explain along side showing everything i got a magna 1983 / 750 a few weeks ago which came as parts or repair so most of it was in carboard boxes so your vids have been a great help cheers
Thank you so much for being here! Glad I can help out. Best of luck with your project and let me know if you ever have questions on something specific, comments on youtube or instagram same name Magnamole. Wrench hard, and ride safe!
Cool. I just Purchased a 83 Honda Magna V45 in very nice condition. Smoking out of tail pipes when I started it before buying. Plugs just look rich.
Great to hear, fun bikes and parts so far have been fairly easy to find. Have fun!
would be great if you put links on to were you buy your bits from cheers buddy
Great Idea, I will work on that and update the description. Thanks for being here!
Thanks for the idea, I put a number of links in the description for some of the parts I have used in recent videos. Appreciate it!
What type of master cylinders did you get? I am considering doing the same to my 84 magna 700
I will see if I can get you a link, I got a set off ebay. But I hear the Sabres of the same vintage have masters that will mount flat and are still Honda OEM. I think that may be a better option but I have not done it myself.
