Dude, my situation exactly. V45 magna. Owned for 30 years and garaged for the last 20 years. But, I just bought a beautiful 99 Valkyrie. So...

Manual for 84 magna?

Service manual says to remove those particular carbs from the left so you are correct

@@MotoRestoFL Thank you for the video. Have you done the video of installing them ? Does it go the same for Sabre , completed with the air box-bottom aluminium plate, or separately each one carb at a time ? Because it is a little diferent frame of the Magna and of the Sabre models. Thank you for the video.

@@kopronko I tried to video the install but if I recall correctly, the phone didn’t work properly and I didn’t get it. The service manual says the Sabre carbs go out and in from the opposite side of the Magna so that should be the left side. If I pull mine again I’ll reshoot that process.

​@@MotoRestoFL Thanks brother. Probably no need 2, because today i succesfully installed them from the Left side on this freind's Sabre , and after polishing damaged cams, welding cam-lobes to stop oil pressure dropping, and carbonitriding them, and reboring cam-bearing caps for the new lubricating system, and added external oil filter for the head lubrication, it was excellently Running aaalll afternoon here in the Southern Eu. It Was a ... 2+months project . And, i Am More happy than the owner , to so succesfully finished my second VF Repair-Imbettering project. My first similar project was in 1996, when i Did the same, plus welded cylinder liner and block, because the conrod was shooted trough the block because of seized con-bearing, plus alll cams bearings seized. I Also welded the cam lobes, to stop the oil pressure dropping. And it worked 28 years ago, just as it worked Today. Thanks to Lord God 4 help which I Needed. Peace with you from old Eu 🙂

@@kopronko dang. I’d like to see that cam process. Well done. Way more advanced than my capabilities.

Yep. I have also, similar but definitely different. Remember, my ‘82 is a first year. Many changes between then and ‘94.

I can’t speak on those but I’d rather pull carbs from a Valkyrie than this.

You do it a couple times and it’s easy. The pain is all the stuff that has to come off to get them out. If you get it and are pulling the rear 1-3 cylinder head cover, it’s in two pieces and is directional. It’s not fun getting them out or back in.

@@MotoRestoFL - Thanks. Most likely I won't be able to get it though. I'm in Hawaii and it's in the upper midwest and it's already snowing up there. My mom is nearby but I would have to store it someplace until spring when I can work on it and then ship it back to Hawaii, which would be rather pricey. Supposedly it's been garage-kept all it's life, but the signal lights are all broken off and I can't really tell how the rest of it is. Photos can be deceiving. I'm still thinking about it. It might be gone by now anyway.

It's a Rooster fairing by Vetter. Period correct, probably 1983-84 range, perhaps later. It's my second, actually. The first must have been a very early Rooster because it was made out of the same unrepairable plastic Craig Vetter used on his early bags (I had a set on a KZ1100 -- he responded to an email that the plastic of the bags was not repairable). This one, however, is made out of ABS plastic and Fiberglass, I think. Interestingly, my understanding is that the Rooster fairings were made by Vetter after Craig Vetter sold the fairing manufacturing to Bell (of Bell Helmets). The Rooster's were set up with a single DIN radio opening and two 3-1/2" (I think) speaker openings. This one had the original Rooster speaker covers, the original one I had came with just blank covers over the speaker holes.

If those cross overs haven’t been removed for a while forget about trying without removing the carbs. They tend to seize in place. You’ll thank me later.

@@MotoRestoFL yeah seems like I have no other choice :(

V4spark.com.

I was on my phone and couldn't type much but here on my computer I can fill in the blanks. Go to www.v4spark.com and you will find everything you'll need to know to install stick coils on the Magna V45. He has everything there including wiring diagrams. You have to purchase replacement spark boxes (spark units) which are capable of COP (coil over plug) options. They are programmable using a USB printer cable believe it or not and he has an app you can install on, say, a laptop if you want to do bike-side adjustments, but you can pull the boxes off and use your desktop as well. It's a rather in depth project so be prepared. Cheers.
