Magician In The House
Hello all, some of you might remember I was unsure where to order from.
Q9, Killer, TXPS or ? Anyway decided to order right from the devil TXPS LOL, they had the lowest price. Ordered Jan 2 and received today in Connecticut, Jan 9 not bad. All good so far. Going to send out for MCO in the morning. Started to tear it down, Carb cracked open and jets drilled etc. Fork oil changed, some nuts/bolts threadlocked. A lot more to do, even going to do some body mods. Some pics for now. Also noticed the swing arm has a grease fitting. Don't know if older Magicians have it. Will update as I go along. Thanks for now. |

Cool. I like the look of the Magicians but I am too tall to fit comfortably on one. Let us know how the process goes and how it rides and holds up to everyday use.

Got the carb back on, exhaust installed, signal lights blacked out, test fitted the front fairing and some more thread lock here and there. |

I like the exhaust.

Long term lurker finally created an account since you're the first person doing some asthetic mods that actually will make the bike look more like a Tricker. The only thing holding me back is I'm terrified it'll be too small. I'm also 5'11, could you please upload a picture or two on the bike and next to it. Really looking to grab one and do a supermoto/Cafe racer hybrid build.

the factory grease fitting is interesting. I am not sure if that is a new thing or not, but I have never seen it mentioned before. It is possible that they ordered some improvements to the bike on the newest batch. Hopefully that translates to better welds on the frame too.

Follwing your assembly. I have a black magician arriving some day soon. I ordered from q9. Yeah I paid a little more but every one talking bad about them worried me and I read the positive words about q9. I ordered on 1-8-19 and today 1-10-19 it says it's has arrived at the destination terminal. I also paid extra for shipping insurance and lift gate delivery as I most likely wont be home when they deliver it so hopefully they can just lower and shove it off the lift gate in my driveway. Where do I find the info on drilling the jets out? I already have a micro drill bit set from when I was making orifices for my home made propane BBQ grill build.

remember to get the rear shock on by yourself you can lay it on its side easy peasy

Sweet ride!
I’m probably no more than 30-60 minutes south of you, NWAR. Roads DD and EE is some of the prettiest riding around and they lead right to the Kansas and OK area borders.
