Well, I'm almost there.  I've had the 95 Magna for over a year now and I am almost ready to take pics to post.  Here are the changes thus far:

Corbin Straight pipes (from previous owner)
Metzler tires (170/80 rear tire)
K&N Filter
Corbin Gunfighter Seat
Iso Grips with Throttle boss and Helmet lock
Mapam Forward controls
Dyno Jets
Billet Mirrors
Vista Cruise Control
5 3/4" x 9" Headlight
2,000 miles, bringing the odometer to 9,000

Things left to do:
Fix dent in tank (from previous owner) <or> get the valk conversion done.  I already bought the Valk tank, just haven't bit the bullet. I think the conversion will cost in the neighborhood of $800 more.  $450 for the work + $75 shipping both ways + $75 for new gas cap and shroud + $200 for paint.  Plus I couldn't ride until it was done (I don't have an extra Magna Tank).  That could be a month or so of prime riding season out the door.  Or, like I mentioned, sell the valk tank and use the funds to have tank fixed and painted!
Switch to LED Lights
Clean up rear end
Add chrome radiator cover
Possibly change out Handlebars
Address Fuel economy (for another post)

I don't have plans to do any of that real soon, so I think after a good wash and wax I'll be ready to show her off.
