I have an old 1982 Honda VF750c Magna motorbike and I know the engine is cr*p!..?
Answers:
stick a honda vfr750 lump in it. late 80s should do, they were pretty reliable by then. you will need to fanny around with the chain drive and convert it to shaft. failing that i wonder if a pan euro engine would fit? now that would be a bike!
ntv 650 lump would fit too, should have bags of room as its a twin and a shaftie. you will need the loom as well though.
Lets see. a 24 year-old motorcycle on its 4th engine. Isn't it about time you changed brands? Honda is usually considered to be ultra-reliable, but if four different engines failed on me, I'd be looking for a new motorcycle instead of trying to rebuild it for the fifth time!
**** dude time to move on
try ebay or time to buy a newer cycle
where are you getting the motors? junkn yard? allways do a leakdown test before you buy a motor,I have a V65 magna in a ridgid frame with a long a s s front end runs fine,also have one in a golf cart with no problems.
buy a vfr 750 instead had gear driven cams and not chocolate ones
Hi guy ,
easy answer . rebuild the motor again . much cheaper than modifying one to fit the frame. BUT this time use a Dave Dodge oil adapter kit. this guy is the king of honda V4's and is the best too. Very easy to install and pumps oil to the heads by the way of a adapter kit that fits on to the oil filter. Oil preasure is increased at least by 5 times the volume. The motor if rebuilt right will go 50,000 miles plus for you! You can buy them on ebay. They have thier own web site just for the V45 classics . All kinds of parts if needed . Good luck , Todd.
Do the Dodge oil modification - it is pretty simple and not that expensive compared to the cost of another five engines!
