LOL. Sounds about right... Well had to replace all the bearings in the wheel hubs with rows of bearings and machine the swing arms for the rear wheels and have spacers were they had roller bearings than it ran down the road great. Cost was around 1k. Best thing I did was sell it and move up
. I like to cross country and ride at 70mph and up all day long so moved up. I tell us, if you are just gonna ride local and Round town the price is right.

I had a lot of fun with that old Magnum. But was a lot of work keeping it on the road. I spent a lot of money with rear mods and changed rear out2 Times. I took the straight axle would be better. Price is right if was garages kept, get it now and move up later

My Magnum was loaded with grease from factory. I always wipe a little in the slots with my finger with sliders

No Luke... I will fly home and leave the V-Star here in Oklahoma. The Silver Wing did fine at speeds 70 - 80 mph on the trip last year. May ride the Wing again next summer here

We are heading out soon with some friends to Broker Arrow,OK. High is mid 80s here in Oklahoma with light winds. V-Star is nice but like the comfort of the Silver Wing better

Nothing changes I see...still see Luke TRAILER Rider poop... JR I have been riding all over in the Ozark Mtns for the past 3 months. Old 71, Pig Trail, just having a blast in AT and OK. I put just over 4,000 Miles on my V-Star since I got it the week I arrived. I will say this is great riding country. I will be going back to Florida mid August and looking forward to getting back on my trike as it is easier for me to handle and sure is more comfortable a ride.

I put about 100 miles on my V Star Classic today half before oil change and than back up to the mountain. I now am feeling good with all. Dave I have to tell you I miss my big scooter trike, you just can not beat the comfort and added safety... If I had the money I would had got another Silver Wing and just left it here for summer use. Boy I never thought I would mAke that statement... a scooter over a V Star.WOW!

That is sharp little SCOOT. I been thinking of getting some thing small when I get back to Florida just to run around town and to the store. I did get a V Star that will remain here in Oklahoma when I leave on August.

Yeah Rich that is it, but mine is black and covered with 4 miles of dirt road. I hate the gravel and dirt roads you can not keep it clean. She does handle well climbing the hills and dirt
