Hi everyone..glad I found your site!

I have an 87 700 Magna that needs a few parts. I found a guy who says he has an 82 750 Magna that I can get for $150.00 that has a bad engine.

Will the Gas tank and fender and other body parts fit.

I did not know they made one in 82..I thought it was 83 for the first one.

I have scrapped the Magna due to high mileage engine and sold it.
Am now riding an 83 Shadow 750 I intend to doll up a tad.

So far I have changed the fluids, cleaned the carbs, fixed all the lights, and am now waiting for my new Fuel pump to come in.

Just a helpful note to all concerned; Some learn'ed individual had put an automobile fuel pump on it. These will NOT work right on a Honda M/C. The pressure is too high on them so it is not recomended by me even though it is 1/3 the cost of the OEM one.

Thanks for droppin in!
