Title: Honda Magna w/newly installed LEDs Post by: TRX450R_Racer on September 01, 2008, 06:14:38 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.

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 Title: Re: Honda Magna w/newly installed hard bags Post by: TRX450R_Racer on September 01, 2008, 07:03:22 PM i think the 200 will help to fill in the gap there and clean up the back.

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. Title: Re: Honda Magna w/newly installed hard bags Post by: svtbolt04 on September 02, 2008, 03:51:03 AM That is one cruiser I would ride. Very sweet looking. Not overdone like your regular Harley.
Very clean! Title: Re: Honda Magna w/newly installed hard bags Post by: TRX450R_Racer on September 02, 2008, 09:14:00 AM That is one cruiser I would ride. Very sweet looking. Not overdone like your regular Harley. Very clean! Thanks! 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.

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?

Title: Re: Honda Magna w/newly installed hard bags Post by: TRX450R_Racer on September 03, 2008, 09:18:44 PM Good looking bike. 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.

There are 286 LEDs on it. I took these really quick this morning before I went to work.
