Had a wreck wondering what to do.

Man sorry to hear about parting it out but you would make more money that way for sure than selling it out right. Looking at some carbs right now on ebay since mine have the cobra jet kit with the drilled slides. Other than that need a rear axle since when I had my chain done last they stripped it and tapped it and put american threads back on not a good job either!!!!  Hope to see you back on a Magna soon !!!!

Jerry. I've been on vacation, actually still am, but just got back to an Internet connection. My recommendation would be to part it out, especially if there's a chance the frame has been bent. I suppose a dealership could check for you.

I was recently buying an engine for a Magna and most of the "certified" engine places wanted $1,000 to $1,400 + exchange. I eventually bought one off a wrecked bike for about $400. So there is a market out there.  You can try ebay or the MOOT site for selling off the pieces. If the tank and fenders are in good shape they can fetch a few dollars as well.

It sounds like Allen would be interested in your carbs.  And if he's not. I would be. That would complete my spare engine. Also Dave Dodge may be interested in some of the parts as well but he'll probably want to buy them cheaper so he can re-sell them.

Glad you are OK. And I sure am sorry about the accident and the fact that the driver "got away".

No I just slide on the road didn't hit the crub. Anyone looking for parts I think I am going to just part it out.

What shape is the tank in?

Man, I am very sorry about the accident.  Looked like a great Magna.  If you decide to part it out, I would be interested in a few items.  Especially, if the front brake reservoir is not damaged, I need one.  Good luck with whatever you decide to do, and we'll all keep an eye out for another Magna if you are interested.

The tank is in great shape one little ding hardly noticeable. I started taking it apart if interested I have mustang seats vance and hines pipes with only a small strach on the left side, sissy bar, luggage rack, etc. The engine is still good only 12000 miles if anyone is interest in any or all parts let me know and we will see if we can work something out otherwise I will probable be listing them on ebay soon. The front brake res is not hurt.

I would love to buy the Mustang seats but I know I can't afford them.  My front seat has a small tear in it. If you like you can email or PM me what you are asking for them.

[MagnaMan]

Just sent you a private message about the seat and the carbs.

Does the tach still work?  I would be interested if it does.  I also could use a right rear turn signal

Thanks,

Holy hell!! how did the forks get bent back that much with just a drop and slide ?? i did similar thing drop and slide at 50 km and forks were fine!! surely you must have hit something to do that or it has been dropped before and the forks had been weakened sort of worrying really to see that extent of damage glad your ok though i broke my leg after my wee skid so you have been very lucky did you hang onto the bike or let it go?

[Jerry G Turner]

Just a drop and slid didn't hit anything might have been going 35mph, I am pretty sure that it hadn't been dropped before. I stayed with the bike.
