Honda Magna w/newly installed LEDs

TRX450R_Racer · September 01, 2008, 10:14:38 PM

I got these universal bags off of ebay. They came with a universal mounting kit. It was a lot of work to install. They were on and off at least 5 times a side to get them right. For $175 shipped I think they look pretty sweet! There are 9 red LEDs in each one. I will have to get some pictures at night. The install took me and one of my friends about 5 hours. Tell me what you think. Next is a 200 rear tire and having the wheels chromed.

i think the 200 will help to fill in the gap there and clean up the back. Do they make a full fender as apposed to the bobbed rear fender? i think it would look cleaner with a fender that atleast goes as far down as the bags.

Looks good none the less

I never considered changing the fender. I might have to give that some thought. That is a 180 tire on there now. I will have to make a new rod for the rear brake to fit the 200 in there. The 180 almost rubbs on it. The factory tire was a 150.

That is one cruiser I would ride. Very sweet looking. Not overdone like your regular Harley.

Very clean!

The best part is it's a Honda, not a Harley. It doesn't shake like a Harley, because it's a V4 not a Vtwin. It sounds like a cruiser down low, but once you hit 5000 RPMs, it sounds and takes off like a crotch rocket. Since I lowered 2" it's the only bike I've ever owned that I can flat foot on both sides. Being 5' 3" I always have to tippy toe when I stop.

Yeah, when I said that and posted it, I should have worded it better.

Harley's in my opinion, are overdone. But if you want someone to know you paid 25grand for a v-twin that can barely move out of its own way..Then I guess you need to make up for something?

Thanks Matt.

It isn't black. The color is called midnight granit effect. It looks black in the shade but in the sun it is a black cherry metalic. You can kinda see it in this close up in the sun.
