Magna Reborn - what do you think

[gbrueggemann]

Here are 1 before pic of my 1997 Magna and 4 afters. The VTX headlight was on when I bought it. It came with the forward controls uninstalled plus the "Valkna" tank and bars. The tank needed some body work and paint. I drilled the bars myself to run the wires through it. The paint is a "Kandy" and looks much better in person (much deeper), but you get the general idea. I don't know if you will be able to make it out in the close up of the tank, but there are ghost flames under the Kandy. Oh yeah it also came with Leather Lyke Saddle bags, they just aren't on in any of the pictures. ....(old tank, bars, spare set of wheels, and bags for sale if anyone interested) .

What do you all think?

Looks great. Is it the Standard Val tank?  How much can it hold?

[Jim8208]

Very nice!! That's my favorite color.

I don't have any idea what year Valk it came off of. I know that the first fill up while standing straight up strapped down in the back of the truck it took 6 gallons. I love it, on an easy day of cruising (60-65mph) I can go over 200 miles before hitting reserve, or back and forth to work on the highway (75-80mph) 170 miles.

SWEEEEET Looking, and color me jealous for not having the time or funds right now to do that type stuff on mine

[mtrosclair]

I want a tank like that, i just don't have the money 

[Magnum Magna]

It is a standard Valkyrie tank. 

I have the Interstate Valkyrie but the standard looks so much better.

Good looking ride....Great Job.....Maybe I will have the $$$$ to make improvements to mine some day.
Pretty sure I will win First Place on "Ugly Bike" and "Rider".....Gotta Love It.....is it time to leave yet??

[TLRam1]

Very nice G.

Robert, what's the difference between the two tanks, Stand, & Inter?

[Magnum Magna]

The standard is 6 gallons the interstate is 7 gallons.
The standard goes to reserve near 200 I go to reserve near 230 miles.  I am very happy with my tank but the standard looks better.

Long story short the previous owner was told it was a standard Valkyrie tank but the owner before him was wrong.
