I dunno, it came with the bike, it is a Memphis shades and I think It was for a shadow.  It works well and seems to be really nice quality.   Better that the Honda one i have.

I like it.  The added black looks very nice.

Thanks, as time passes there will be more black and less shiny.   I put the screen and pillion and such on so i could take the wife to bike night, we did about 65 miles total, lots of bikes no magnas though.  Now she wants a bike!!

Good Luck.  Have her take the safety class.  I effectively took the class with my wife.  We both enjoyed it.

For sure, I'd probably go with a rebel 250 or a gz 250 for her first.

Yep! My wife started with 250 Virago, then  VLX 600 and now my old Magna is her new Magna. I got stuck with an old Valk tourer  :D :D :D :D. Of course I have to ride the Magna now and then to make sure everything is running ok 8)..

Yep, and he constantly complains that she won't two up with him any more. :) If your wife starts riding her own bike, you probably won't be able to get her back on yours. Right Charles?

This is a case of, "Do as I say, not as I do." I bought the little VLX 600 from Charles and now my wife is learning to ride on it.
She actually started on a 250 Diamo,  but almost gave up. She finds the 600 easier to ride.

That GZ250 is a neat looking little bike. They had a bunch of them at my motorcycle safety course. Too small for me though, I rode a Nighthawk.

Really nice work on that Magna.

The Magna looks great!

I went from passenger to MSF Rebel 250 to my Magna.  I'd had riding experience in the 70's on a Kawasaki 175.

I'd have to have a really good reason to be a passenger again.

Like when your bike is broke and you want to go to the movie at Dave's cabin??

Man how did you get those wheels so clean, I have tried everything and cant get mine to look that good. Maybe I need to take them off and clean and polish them. Looks good, Like the new lid as well.

I cleaned/degreased with simple green and a brush then used meguiars metal polish and a mothers mini power ball on a cordless drill....Flitz works great too..
