Vehicle Detail
Up for auction is a very unique and rare motorcycle. I'm a mechanical engineer and in my spare time I restore and customize 1987 and 1988 Honda Super Magnas. There are not a lot of these model bikes out there as not many were produced. Finding one in truly good shape is tough enough these days but to find one for sale that's been completely gone through mechanically and has a high dollar custom paint job is near impossible. And if by chance your color is purple, violet or blue, THIS BIKE MAY BE THE TICKET! I'll include below a list of everything mechanical that's been done to the bike but what really stands out is the custom paint. Depending on the light, it's violet then purple then deep blue. The ghost flames jump out depending on the light as well. It was tough getting the paint to show in the photos as it does in person but I did my best. For insurance purposes, the paint job alone should appraise at approximately $2,000. I had one other paint job that was very similar in nature and it appraised at that amount. So here’s what’s been done to the bike: Electrical: All handlebar switches completely disassembled, cleaned and fresh dielectric grease appliedNew batterySpeedometer, Tachometer and all warning light bulbs replaced Main Ground connections cleaned and securedSpark plugs gapped and replaced Hydraulics:Brake master cylinder cleaned and refreshedBrake caliper disassembled, cleaned and refreshedNew brake fluid installed and system bledClutch master cylinder cleaned and refreshed, new lever bushing installedClutch slave cylinder cleaned and refreshedNew hydraulic fluid installed and system bledFront fork seals replacedNew fork oil installedRear Brake:Brake disassembled, cleaned and properly lubedBrake and brake light adjustedMisc:Speedometer/Tachometer set replaced due to a bad/noisy indicator needle (original meter included with bike)Dash plate painted to match triple treeCarbs removed, disassembled and cleaned, new gaskets installed, carbs syncedOil and filter changed Tires are in great shape and have plenty of tread leftPassenger seat is includedBike is available with clear custom turn signal and reflector lenses or the stock orangeEngine is in great shape with plenty of compressionValves adjusted to factory specs within the last 50 miles of use Transmission is in great shape, no gears slipping, shifts smoothly Paint:Believe it or not, it’s the exact same color all over except for the fairing under the engineColor differences are only due to the way light hits itLower fairing is painted with the same color but a more rock chip resistant paint used.
