Before you fill your handlebars with lead you might want to buy a set of bar end weights.

It's not an "old school trick", they come standard on many new modern motorcycles. They work very well up to a point.

A Magician may be past that point.

Ignition cylinder bolts will either be an M6 or M8. I can't entirely remember off hand. If you can dismount the cylinder, unplug it and take it to the hardware store and match it up.

Sand, Bird shot, and other such things in the handlebars is an old school method. It does work, but I have never been a fan of it. The suggestion for bar end weights is a good one. A set of alloy fatbars is also a good option as they are solid in the middle and also larger in diameter at the center. These two things alter the resonant frequency of the bars and helps fight off some vibration. Combined with bar end weights they do very well.

My last suggestion, since it seems you may have missed the memo. Buy a bottle of Loctite 242 or 243, and use it on the bolts of the bike so you won't donate any more hardware to the road gods.

Thnks meg! Screw sizes ty! I kno i missed the pain in the butt bolts for locktighting like these ignition screws on the underside that connect the key cyclender to the housing but its such a pain i have to discconect the headlight snd move some wires around. Got the magician bacause i like being agile, but makes everything a pain even the carb. Everythings shoved in there
Btw caught one of ur youtubes finally. Quality stuff gj!

I csnnot get to the screws in the underside of the ignition cylinder. Only one phillips screw stil in but when the two halves of the ignition come apart i lose my lights and some and ignition like the halves have to be in contact with eachother to work? I will prob nevrr find the right screw for it. Can i just replace with aftermarket ignition and gauges? Do they even sell oem ignitions for magicians in general? Advice please
