Wink Greetings from South Dakota

I stumbled across this site while googleing some V65 Magna stuff... anyway, I started reading and 3 hours later found myself joining

Currently my only bike is a 1986 V65 Magna with 35,000 miles on it, and it looks every bit as good as the one posted here:

I bought mine a year ago, after searching for almost 3 years to find a "nice" one. I've wanted one since I was a senior in high school when they were first hit the street in '83... so far I have put about 7,000 miles on it. The previous owner treated it quite well... I'll add a few pics as soon as I can find the CD I burned them too (or I locate my camera to take new ones)

The bad news is that I smoked/glazed the Clutch plates due to Mobil One synthetic MOTORCYCLE oil that is supposed to be suitable for wet clutches... it's not. Read my reply to the thread linked above.

See Ya Around
