  1. 99 Blackbird with Progressive front springs, Heli bars, Superbrace, heated grips, Hawke oiler, acc plug and some things i am forgetting. Very Good condition, ~40,000 miles NADA $3840. I no longer ride distance and this bike is really not for riding around town. I am looking for something lighter. Will consider most anything from 250cc up but am looking for something along the lines of an SV650 naked. Will trade up or down. No guns, trucks, cars or projects...my bike is registered and running, yours should be also.
  2. Thanks for the assistance but I checked the kill switch instead and it started right up..... Although the bank angle thing was going to be next...
  3. So, headlite and dash lites come on but the FI lite won't go out....I don't hear the normal cycling that happens before the lite goes out ... and pressing the starter causes nothing to happen.... Any help appreciated....
  4. 1999 Blackbird, ~39,000 miles, Bagster tank cover and bag, SuperBrace fork brace, Progressive forks springs, heated grips, chain oiler, accessory plug, Cheetah and original windshield and a Give (?). Will include an IB plate bracket Got a couple of scratches on rear cowl. Maybe 3-4 inches long that I toned down with touch up paint. Looks good for age and miles. I no longer ride distance and would like to trade for something like a Speed Triple...will consider a metric cruiser....willing to put some cash with the Blackbird. Am located in Memphis, TN
  5. The guy at Batteries Plus claimed the battery showed good. I told him it wouldn't crank the bike and he needed to put a load on it....he just gave me a new battery....which fixed the problem... My thinking is that if the old battery showed good and a new battery cranked the bike then the problem is likely with the battery...anyway the bike is running and cranking fine so I have elected to leave well enough alone. Appreciate the assistance.
  6. This morning I was at the grocery and came out and bike wouldn't crank....just made a clack noise and the dash lights went out. So, I call a buddy and he comes with a truck and says why don't we try jumping it first and goes for the cables and while he is getting cables....I try it and it cranks...I take it home and put it on a slow charge for a few hours and go out a few minutes ago and try cranking and same thing...turn on ignition, wait on FI lite, hit the starter and clack and the dash lites go out...turn ignition off and try turning it on again and no lites of any kind... Comments...
  7. Front cowl has crack about a foot long ending at air intake $120 shipped Lower right has about 6 inch crack next to vent, this piece has been repainted has some orange peal, and some nasty scratches Decal is a bit marred. $70 shipped All mounting tabs are good. Givi Windshield is like new, maybe 3000 miles on the bike $70 shipped Stock bars $50 plus shipping (I got no idea of cost for shipping) Stock screen like new $100 shipped This stuff is offa 99 Blackbird.
  8. I duuno if I posted about this but in late Sep I collided with a German shepherd and his head and shoulder broke the right lower and front fairing/cowl. Anyway the insurance co is sending a check and Ron Ayers is the cheapest I've seen. Suggestions or comments. (About the repair parts, not the dog) Also, anything to look out for when removing and installing the cowl. Your consideration is much appreciated.
  9. Well, I got fur stuck in cracks on the cowl and side panel...and it doesn't look good. I'll tell you it kinda made me nervous having 100 plus pounds of dog coming at me full tilt. And it surprised me when he got up and ran back into his yard. The fucker was out there sunning himself today when I drove by. I'm wondering what he's gonna do the next time I come by on the bike.
  10. Thanx. I dropped the comprehensive just this year on the bike cause Geico jumped it to over $1000 per year on a 99 model. Hopefully the dog's owner will either pay me off or turn it over to his homeowners insurance. I haven't been in contact yet...I think he's out of town as no response to my note or answer to his phone. How much work is involved in replacing that front cowl? I got a manual but want to hear somebody say it's easy or it's a lotta work?
  11. Fcuker was over 100 pounds easy. Came at me like he really wanted me. I slowed a bit as he approached then accelerated but the fcuker collided with the right lower and the front cowl and broke them both. I kept the bike up and saw him get up and run back into the yard with the electric fence he came out of. Anyway, that was the fun part. Now, where is a good place to get the front cowl, right lower and decal (Does decal come on the panel)? I already called a local shop's parts department and and they are talking over $1000 for parts listed above.
  12. I imagine you can get PVC that'll work with/hold gasoline, they make it for all kinds of caustic industrial applications, I'd be leary of using plastic pipe from Home Depot.
  13. CCT and low beam bulb, also once in Maryland the bike refused to start. I was gonna post my problem here for help but decided to take a chance so I flipped the kill switch off myself. That seemed to resolve the problem. So far. (37,000 miles)
  14. I run Pilot Roads for the mileage and the rain grip. 10K+ miles on rear, replace front ~every other rear.
