I'm selling my 1999 Honda Magna with 17,000 miles. $3,500.00. In excellent condition with many extras, including a batwing fairing. Attached is the Craig's list link

You have a lot of the right parts added.

1. How do you like the batwing?

2. Did the Mustang pass backrest holes line up to bolt on or did you have to fab something up.

3. What bikes have you looked to get next.

I love the batwing, it makes it handle like a totally different motorcycle, especially on the interstate. it cuts through the wind great and you don't get the wind buffet in the handlebars like with a typical windshield.

Mustang has a backrest pad manufactured to bolt directly to the Honda Line backrest frame you just have to make sure you select it when ordering.

My wife and I have started doing some longer trips and already have reservations made for Sturgis 2015. We're gonna make a 4000 mile ride over 12 days and are looking at a Harley Ultra Limited as our next bike.

The Ultra Limited is a nice ride.

I've gotten several offers of $2,000.00, is that all nice Magna's are bringing? I had a guy look at it this morning and said he'd be back with cash in a bit to buy it but never showed up. I called him and he said he found another one locally and bought it for $2,000.00 but it was bone stock with a big dent in the tank. Am I way too high on mine at $3,500.00?

We all know that they are worth much more but most of them I see on Craig's list for over 2500 to 3500 seem to stay there. I like the way you have yours set up but I have 2 motorcycles a magna and a ultra classic so I am not in the market.

doc.jet67 · January 02, 2015, 05:33:23 PM

Thanks for the input. I guess I may need to reconsider the price but I sure hate to go much lower with everything I've put on it. An Ultra is gonna be my next purchase, how do you like yours?

Jerry G Turner · January 02, 2015, 07:57:15 PM

I have a 2010 ultra classic limited I love it when my wife and I go places it's a very comfortable riding bike with lots of power and very easy to control. When I ride by myself I love my magna so much fun to ride.

They go for around $2000 - $2500 around here in Florida (Mostly Stock)..
You can probably get more for yours, but You may not get what you want.. That's the problem with making vehicles "yours"...
Make sure you list in the ad what each of the upgrades costs.. That may shake someone into understanding why it's more..
But you MAY have to wait for the right buyer..
Your other choice is to start stripping parts off, and sell them individually, then off the Magna for $2500..
You will probably get what you are looking for, but it will take more time...

I sure would like a pair of progressive rear shocks.. But, I don't have the $$$ to put into that what they are worth..

Hope it helps...

Thanks for the advice, I never thought about adding the prices for the upgrades on the post. Stripping it down is a thought for sure and I totally understand what you mean about personalizing. I just re-posted it at $2895.00 and will probably leave it at that until people start getting tax returns and see what happens then.

This one has been on craigslist off and on for over a year

And don't forget this is not the best time to be selling. Spring will see the market pick up (hopefully). I have mine listed for $2800 in NC and you can hear the crickets chirping. Can't even get the scammers to bite. Good luck with your sale.

I've decided to go ahead and sale any of the aftermarket parts off of the bike that anyone might be interested in. Maybe I can actually come out better that way.

List 'em up with prices please!!!

Just thought I'd update that I sold my Magna today for $2800. A gentleman flew from Orange County California to Arkansas and bought it. He rented a Penske truck, loaded it up and headed back to CA. He said he felt like he got an awesome bike for the price and that it was well worth the trip to get it. I hope he enjoys it as much as I did the 6 years I had it.
