I'm just wondering if anyone knows if these two things would fit a 1994 Honda Magna 250.

Grips

Pegs

Theres another type of those foot pegs that have a "Male" adaptor but I'm a fish out of water trying to figure out what will fit and what wont.


In general, it would be good to know what can and can't fit my Magna.

Magna 250?

isn't that an oxymoron?

it says: "Universal fitment for 1" handlebars. -Metric"

if you trust yanks to know that the metric of 1" is 25.4mm and you've measured your bars at 25.4mm; i guess your question is answered


as for the pegs, go find one of the bikes the auction states these fit and measure it to see if it's the same as yours

How is magna 250 a contradiction?

And I thought some bars had internal wiring, or some air tube something or rather running down the inside. I've heard all sorts of things that vary in bars.

"Magna" indicates 'big, large, powerful' etc

obviously an oxymoron when referring to a 250

Its more than just the Suzukis, heaps of them have crap waffled over them.

Last one at work "The ARC product is wonders assembled project. They present comfortable and unknown car life with ARC power."

And that was on an aftermarket air filter housing.

? It might have more poke than your 90 odd hp.
Super.....what?

And slogans....... what's all that jazz in your signature????
At least the Japs keep the length to a minimum.

nah, not even once

ktm has closer to 100hp and plenty of torque to boot

obviously the answer to my second question is 'no' given that the blurb on the back of suzuki 4wd's takes a good 10 minutes to read

Nothing a bit of remedial learning can't clear up mate. 100hp and plenty of torque is 'super'? Must be sad in your world.

In answer to your original question the answer is no, the magna is standard with 7/8th bars and the footpeg mounting is not compatible with these pegs. However you could fit 1 inch bars and modify the peg mountings to make it fit.
How much do you want it?
BTW this stuff is also available in NZ on Tardme.

Hmm, well the person I got the bike off of said it had 1" bars although I've never measured them myself. 1" or 7/8 is no biggy as you can get grips for both easily enough.

Apparently not everyone knows Magnas, or mine is a freak of nature as I've now used some calibrated tools from work (micrometer is it called?) and it measured 1" at the middle of the bar and where the grips and such are on the bar.

So these SHOULD fit right? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=94855846

As I know some grips are only for internal wiring or something, and theres other things I'm not sure of what I'm to look for

That should fit.
