Well, after years of saying I'm going to do it, I finally took the motorcycle riders course. So out I set looking for a motorcycle. I really wanted an old Kawasaki KZ, but none of them were close by or in my price range. After a couple of weeks of searching, I came across a 1984 Honda V30 Magna.
Tires are 19 years old, so I'm going to get new tires pretty soon. Thinking about getting raised white letter tires for it, but undecided. The clutch needs to be bled about daily, and the guy I bought it from said it needed toe slave cylinder rebuilt, but it doesn't leak, so I think it just needs to be flushed.It sat for ten years before the previous guy got it and he didn't ride it too much. Think I might pull the tank, rear fender, and side panels to get them repainted. Horn button is missing and the left controls on the handlebar are extremely faded.
Going to put LEDs for all the lights. Currently hunting for a headlight assembly/projector that I could run a better bulb, like an HID or LED in. Want to keep the rectangular headlight, I kind of like it.
