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.

So you left everything on it???

I saw a '95 on Craigslist the other day.. It had less than 1K miles on it (a little over 600 if I remember right)...
Bone stock, He wanted $4K for it..
Brand new 19 year old bike??
I thought I did good with my '94 I found with 7700 miles on it for $2K

Yeah I did. Just about the time I was gonna start pulling parts off I had 2 different people interested. They were both waiting on tax returns then the guy from California called and wired me a cash deposit and got on a plane the next day. the only thing I have left is a set of Supertrap mufflers

OOOohhhh, Nice mufflers.. Doesn't go with Saddle bags, but I like them and am envious anyways!

I don't need them now so I would consider an offer on them.

Sorry it took so long, I was having trouble getting the pics attached and I hope it works this time.

doc.jet67 · February 16, 2015, 08:52:01 AM

I think maybe I figured it out now.

Every Batwing I've seen is made for a larger headlight.. Where did you find one for the Magna Small Headlight?

doc.jet67 · February 16, 2015, 05:06:34 PM

That fairing was actually made for a honda 600 which has the same headlight and front forks as a Magna. It took a lot of research to figure it out and a rep for Memphis Shades told me it wouldn't work. I sent them pictures after it was mounted but they never replied.

How much adaption did you need with the mounts?

doc.jet67 · February 16, 2015, 06:44:05 PM

No mods required. The Magna and the 600 use the exact same brackets. Memphis shades offers a regular windshield and a batwing for the 600 but only a windshield for the Magna but as you can see the fairing works. Just order the Magna/600 brackets and a fairing for the 600 and it all bolts right up. Just leave the brackets loose until you slide the fairing over the headlight then adjust the brackets accordingly. The fairing is a snug fit over the headlight. Heating the plastic ring slightly helps. Your turn signals will need lowered but I moved mine to the engine bar for a different look

I have a Memphis Shades "Big Shot" now.. I wonder if those mounts will work with the fairing?

I recommend going to the Memphis Shades web site, then go to the Honda application chart and compare part numbers. That should answer your question. Or see if you can find the part number on your current mounts and see if they match the ones required per the web site.
