This is a beauty! Nice work. I was recently rear ended on my '83 Magna, and it took some serious damage...still await assessment from insurance, but was already tossing around the idea of bobbing it out this winter! I would really like to replicate or have mine very similar to this, with a few of my own personal touches and style, but haven't a clue how or where to start!?! I really have almost no knowledge of mechanics, electronics, and/or fabricating to make it happen...
Im a Harley guy, but my grandpa had an 82 magma and my pops worked for years, we never could get it up in running but I want one now, too many memories
it looks like you took the original buckhorns and just bent them out to a reasonable position! I am prolly gonna steal that idea from you and how you did those exhaust tips too while I am at it!

hey Peter I'm building the same bike. I'm having problems with the stance I cut 1/2 inch off the kickstand but it still wants to fall over when I turn the handlebar yo the right did you you anything to yours.
Beautifull job! How long have you been riding it? Is the transfers case seems to crack or break with a rear rigid mount? Did you somehow locked the main swivel point to get a real rigid rear suspension? Thx!
I completely lucked into one of these bikes "('83 750) for free! It is in ok shape and runs like complete shit currently but the guy admitted to me that he attempted to rebuild the carbs on his own and has NO CLUE what he was doing. Fortunately I've been a mechanic for over a decade. I'll have this thing running perfect in no time. I've been searching the web for a few days trying to get ideas of what direction to go with it once it's running. I'm thinking this is what I'll end up doing. I will be going on long rides every weekend though so I'll just keep the suspension in the rear. But this is a great job!
You dont happen to have gotten it at a scrap yard just outside osceola Wisconsin a couple years ago did you? Dark purple with a good seat and hellfire windshield?
Brandon Crimmins Did you Build your bike? I just got a 83 VF 750 C and i want to rebuild it into something bobber like but also want to leave the rear suspension. Do you have any pictures of your bike?
Nice build man! What did you use to make the bike hard tailed? I was looking around at kits but they are all always so expensive. Did you just use tubing and weld it on?
I absolutely loved this build, I have to ask how did you relocate the rear brake and shifter I see the extending bits maybe you have a link to where I can find similar ones?
would you mind giving a parts list and explanation on how you did them? I would like to something similar but with my own design twist. it would be much appriciated
Amazing Bob job. Thinking if doing the same to my Magna, but had a few questions. 1. How much time and money did you invest in this project? 2. What did you use to attach the frame to the suspension mount? 3. How does the new ridged frame affect the ride?
Dylan Strub 1. I don't know how much money and it was a one winter project 2. It is a heavy iron pipe 3. It takes some getting used to but it rides nice
Nice man.. Where did you relocate your fuse box and stuff that was originally located under the seat on the rear mud guard? Im having issues thinking of how im going to relocate it
@@peterdoomen2882 so eliminating the aux tank you bypassed the fuel pump and now the carbs are gravity fed? Im confused on how the bike is still going to get fuel after taking out the aux tank.. Sorry im a noob
Peter Doomen so just factory sizes, the front tire looks wider. I'm picking up a magna in a few days and want to make a bobber also. thanks for the reply
+abram castillo I used the original speedometer , removed the tachometer and relocated the indicator lamps.The oil temp meter is relocated near the cilinder
hey ik kan een honda magna v30 kopen frame is heel 2 motorblokken erbij 1 zit een tik de andere loopt niet kam ik gewoon van die 2 motorblokken 1 maken? en hoeveel cc is de v45? de v30 js 500cc
okay dank je wel en ja volgens mij zijn het 2 identieke blokken hij had namelijk 2 maar de andere motor was vernield door mensen daarom loop het blok niet zo goed als niet meer de andere heeft een tik er in. en ik had opgezocht blijkbaar kan de v30 200 kph halen dat is verdomd snel voor een 500cc blok
Absolutely gorgeous. I inherited a v45 frame and once I get some room, I'd like to give the fabrication a shot. I have an 83 DD and just love the engine.

it looks really nice! !!
Thanks!
How did you go about relocating, and cleaning up, the electronics and wiring harness?
Ogre's Garage I removed the extra gastank and put there the electronics
Peter Doomen That's what I'm doing as well. Great build man. I'd like to show you some pics of my build.
Oké, great!!
Nice build man! What did you use to make the bike hard tailed? I was looking around at kits but they are all always so expensive. Did you just use tubing and weld it on?
Richard Betz yes, I made the tubes by myself, no kit!
also where did you put the battery and all those wires and such? did you just remove the reserve tank
Richard Betz yes, I removed the reserve tank and thats where all the eletric is hidden.
How did removing the reserve tank affect the endurance of the bike?
Nice ride man
You messed up a nice looking STOCK V-45. In the original Stock form, it is a AWESOME, looking & handling Bike.
I am sorry Stephen, but not for real.😉
Go for it Ronnie!😎
I absolutely loved this build, I have to ask how did you relocate the rear brake and shifter I see the extending bits maybe you have a link to where I can find similar ones?

I made them myself using the original parts as you can see in the pictures
would you mind giving a parts list and explanation on how you did them? I would like to something similar but with my own design twist. it would be much appriciated
Shahrokh Fazli sorry,no parts list.
I made two metal plates and welded them on the frame. The parts are mounted on the plates
what did you do for the exhaust? just cut it off and add 90's?
+Dusty Perez Yep, just cut it off at the exaust pot and welded two 90's on it
beau relookage bravo
Awesome bike!! Im in the middle of a build also and was wondering where you got those mounts for the directionals?
Thanks!
The mounts are selfmade.
I did it all by myself, including the special paint!

Nice man.. Where did you relocate your fuse box and stuff that was originally located under the seat on the rear mud guard? Im having issues thinking of how im going to relocate it
Hi Chris, I removed the second gastank and relocated there all that stuff
@@peterdoomen2882 it was alot easier to remove it when the rear fender and all that mess was cut off?
@@a_storm_inside7026 yes that's right

@@a_storm_inside7026 the fuelpump is still working but he gets the fuel straight from the big tank
Where did you relocate the electric components under the seat?
Hi Jon, the second fuel tank is removed and thats where I relocated the electric components
Did you lower your front suspension at all when you did this? Are they the stock front forks?
Hi Mitchell, yes I lowered the original forks about 4 cm
Thanks Brandon!
Hey beautiful Magna. Wondering where did u order ur tachometer at I'm building a magna now.
Jrallito it's the original tachometer!enjoy the building of the bike , i did too
Peter Doomen how did u made it look so clean mine looks like mickey mouse ears
Its just in kilometers
I know this is very old, but do you remeber your f/r tire sizes?
allgutsnoglorywtg the front tire is 110-90 /18 inch and the rear tire is 130-90/16 inch
Peter Doomen so just factory sizes, the front tire looks wider. I'm picking up a magna in a few days and want to make a bobber also. thanks for the reply
allgutsnoglorywtg yes factory sizes with White Wall paint on it.
Good luck building the bobber, show me pictures when he's done!
ik ben bezig met een soortgelijk project. reserve tank verwijderd, hoe heeft u precies de normale tank aangesloten op brandstofpomp / carburateurs
Ik heb de brandstofpomp op de hoofdtank aangesloten. De niveau voeler is vervallen.
De brandstofpomp voedt de carburateurs
Groet Peter
Heeft u een verloop gemaakt van de grote uitgang (die normaal naar de reservetank gaat) richting de brandstofpomp. Bedankt voor de snelle reactie!
@@delonbraamhaar7493 klopt , een verloop tussen de tank en pomp
Super dan kan ik weer verder! Bedankt!
what brand of tires are that I can't find any whitewall for my 83 .
fullautoglock18able Hi, I used the normal tires and painted the whitewall on it with special White Wall paint
Hey man nice scoot! What bars did you use?
the originals but relocated.
How hard was it to relocate the foot pedals?
no problem, but watch out with welding.
The left downtube is used for coolant!
I have an 84 vf700c I'm working on. where did you find the Guage?
+abram castillo I used the original speedometer , removed the tachometer and relocated the indicator lamps.The oil temp meter is relocated near the cilinder
+Peter Doomen nice I'll have to look into that. so you just made a bracket for the speedo?
Yep, have fun building!
+Peter Doomen thanks man I'm still debating to go hardtail or stick with a short suspension.
+abram castillo Hardtail! go for it! ☺
You have to reject the carbs with new pipe?
bluespectre117 no, I didn't touch the carbs
any noticable loss in power?
bluespectre117 no loss, drives better than before!
Did you hard mount the rear suspension?
+Barty Crowell Yes I did
+Peter Doomen how much did it effect the handling and comfort? I'm buying one today and it looks like he already replaced the shocks with steel bars
+Barty Crowell handling is oké but less comfort in the seat.
There is only the suspention of the seat.

Where did you relocate the reserve tank ?
Hi Jordan, in the trash can ;-)
Peter Doomen Hi Peter,
How’s the mileage without the sub tank?
@@Physeter less far the before😉
How much time and money was put into this?
Jaek Bailey, about 8 months and I do not know how much money
It's the Zombie bike from GTA 4
What for tires you are buying?
