About the Honda VF1100 V65 family
Choose V65 Magna or V65 Sabre, then build the parts list for your repair.
Honda’s V65 Magna and Sabre pair a liquid-cooled V4 with shaft drive and a hydraulic clutch. The Magna is the cruiser; the Sabre takes a more upright road-bike approach. Their different carburetors, exhaust and chassis equipment make the C or S designation a useful first step in a parts search.
Magna and Sabre: where to start
Use VF1100C V65 Magna parts for 1983–1986 applications and VF1100S V65 Sabre parts for 1984–1985. Some bowl gaskets and steel clutch plates list both. Hydraulic repair kits and fork components can have narrower coverage, so select those by the complete model and fitted assembly.
