Here is a short vid of Rigger testing it.

^ wtf is going on there then???

Rigger, what are you up to, mate?

**Satonic** · 14-07-2011, 10:21 AM

What a prick, that was painful to watch.

Could almost smell that clutch burning through the computer

**spliff** · 14-07-2011, 10:23 AM

Looks comfy.

**Bettyboo** · 14-07-2011, 10:30 AM

There's a new K showroom opened close to me, and they have some pretty nice looking bikes in there.

There quite affordable, so I'm worried about popping into the shop in case I come out 150k lighter with a 4 year agreement and a new bike to kill meself on...

I have been riding a Honda Phantom for 5 years now.I have no truck and I have never been on songtaw, I ride everywhere, everyday.The Phantom has been a very good bike. 32,000 kilometers and it has never let me down.I took a wrong turn one day and rode through flood water so deep, I couldn't believe the Honda kept running.
The Phantom is made in Thailand. So much of what you buy here is absolute junk.There are only 2 things I have been very happy with, The Honda and my Talon lawn mower.

There's a video somewhere of somebody attempting a backflip on a Road King.

Honda RVF400RR and Honda NSR150RR.

Got a full on production facility including a waterjet that I use daily.

You're welcome to visit and check the machine out, and with any lucky I will accidentally cut a few of your fingers off with it

**Rigger** · 17-07-2011, 09:33 AM

I found Socals youtube account

**Bettyboo** · 17-07-2011, 10:15 AM

^ good find, that's one sad MF, could easily be Socal...

**dirk diggler** · 17-07-2011, 12:04 PM

So, I'm toying with the idea of a complete rebuild for my Magna.

Can anyone give me a rough idea how much this would/should cost?

Depends what you need to get for it.

Top end head gaskets are about $80 plus post.

Cam chain tensioner towers are about $70

Form ebay.

This place is fairly reasonable until they add their shipping fees. I sent mine to a friend in the US who then ships them at about a third of the price.

**dirk diggler** · 17-07-2011, 01:38 PM

Not just the engine MTD, I'm talking about stripping the whole thing down and making it brand new again.

Cheers for the link.

**Marmite the Dog** · 17-07-2011, 02:53 PM

Very few Thais have heard of powdercoating. It's a must if you want the paint to last. Hopefully you can find a place near you. Same with shot blasting. They're generally still in the Stone Ages when it comes to things like this.

**dirk diggler** · 17-07-2011, 03:09 PM

Could do it myself if I had the equipment. But I will have to send it to Chiang mai.

A new job working 6 weeks on 3 weeks off in Sakhalin means I won't miss the bike too much, but my friend who will do the rebuild works 28/28, so it's gonna take about 4 months to do.

We're estimating over 100k for a worthwhile job. There's no labour costs, he's just one of those freaks that loves working and needs a project for when he's on his time off.

It's a lot to spend on a bike I paid 80k for (standard), but fuckit, will be worth it.

It's that or buy a Dyna Street Bob, but I don't have the heart to sell my magna. So I'm looking to end up with both.

**Travelmate** · 17-07-2011, 03:16 PM

Magna is a pretty old bike.
Buy the Dyna & keep the Magna for a little while.
And then decide if you still want to throw money at it.

If you're using the guys in CM, then that's probably not far off. They do do a good job though.

I was (and still am) seriously thinking about setting up a bit of shot blasting & powdercoating place, but I'm too busy at the moment.

**Spin** · 17-07-2011, 04:02 PM

LOL

Rigger just came past me on his TL like a bat out of hell at about 180 kmh hotly followed by what looked liked a gixxer.

A completely random sighting, I was out with the gf in the car about 50 kms from home and havent seen Rigger for over a year.

His missus was on the back holding on for dear life by the looks of things.

No no, 100k for the rebuild, fucked of I'm paying that for powder coating. I met a guy on the way ba k from Phuket bike week that powder coated his whole harly for 60k in CM.

I realise that, but I know that place is expensive.
