Thanks Mark, The bike is set up with the most desired additions, I will try to get it outside soon and snap some better pics but have been unable to do so with a broken collar bone. Also for the record that is $16,200 OBO. I would definitely rather someone get the bike that can appreciate the suspension that some guy at a dealer that has "0" clue what he has between his legs.

First I must say you did not need the shim since that Penske has the ride height adjustment built in. The only way you will get the gap you need to install the shim is with a lift that does not require you to support the bike from the swingarm or rear wheel for that matter.

I do not own a 27 millimeter so I use a 1 1/8" , works fine for me. I just tighten until it feels just right:)

PM sent Matt, hopefully I can help.

Mine is 6.5" for the front and 0" for the rer tire. I have GP suspension forks and an Ohlins shock out back.

I believe Forks are around $425 and the Shock is around $745

Don't let that whispering bother you. I have a 08 Goldwing with suspension by Traxxion Dynamics and would most likely prefer the wing over both the ST or the FJR. If i had more gutts I would give those ST and FJR riders a run for their money with the wing.

If you need a stock shock to send to them, make me an offer. I have my stocker off an 03 after switching to an Ohlins.

I am sure there is someone who wants to keep the mileage down on their bird, so use my FZ for commuting and make me an offer:)

I still have a Bagster Tankcover (SOLD)that I would like to sell for $100.00+ shipping if possible and a AirBlade DB Light Smoke screen for 45.00+ actual shipping. In the USA IF you are interested in either of the items you can e-mail me at kdragunslayeratgmail.com with Blackbird in the subject line. These items are in great to excellent condition. I was rooting around and the little lady pointed out that I had a brand new battery that I had purchased for the Blackbird before I traded it and never installed. I would like to get $75.00+ shipping I paid $115.00 for the battery. Kevin Reinhold Robertsville, MO

I personally am very interested in the bike. If it is still available I would like to possibly come see the bike in person as well as hear it run and all that good stuff . Kevin Reinhold St. Louis MO.

Any offers on the shock or Double Bubble. These are still available Kevin Set up for a 230lb. Rider and I have not had it serviced, but it has never seen track duty Kevin

Some pics have been added. more to come...

The hugger is black, it is not a show quality paint job or anything since it came to me in primer. There are a couple of stress cracks where it bolts at the front of the swingarm if memory serves me. but it is still solid. I will try to take some pics when I get home. There is also a small gouge where the left exhuast can would hit during spirited riding. Of course this would not have been a problem with stock cans Kevin Kevin, What condition is the hugger in? Cracks/scratches etc? Is it black? I guess I should email then huh... mmmmk.

The forks pretty much were left on the bike since I did not want to tear them down to get the components out. I do have the Penske 8981 Double adjustable shock with roughly 16,000 on it. This is a $900.00 shock in excellent condition. I know you are on a budget but I am looking to get at least $600 out of the shock. I also have a hugger rear fender that I purchased from War Eagle that I am wanting to get $75.00 for ( I paid $100+shipping). If you are interested I also have a set of the risers that Jaws sells out of Europe, these sell for $170.00+shipping to the states. I am hoping to get at least $100.00 for them. $200.00 for the Power Commander USB III The exhaust has sold... Risers are sold... Any interest in the above mentioned items should be directed to kdragunslayeratgmail.com be sure to have blackbird parts in subject line. These prices are somewhat negotiable within reason. Kevin

Thanks Jon, I am running the stock size sprocket but an aftermarket version currently. I will keep an eye on it from now on. I did not use any lock tite but torqued to spec. I whish I would have known the chain tightening part before I cut the chain I had on there off. It probably only had about 8-10,000 miles on it and I figured it had a kink in it. Kevin

Well, I got it done, but I am wondering wether the tech that did the last install was Pee Wee Herman since I needed none of the advice suggested above to loosen the bolt holding the counter sprocket in place. In fact all that was rquired was the use of my fingers and to think how many times I have had that bike deep in the triple digits. Has anyone had a problem with the bolt loosening after being torqued properly? Just curious if this is something I should watch closer or what. I am glad I got a kink in the chain and thought to replace the sprockets and chain or who knows what would have happened. Kevin

Thanks, I knew I could count on getting an answer pretty quick on this forum. Kinda like I told the little lady, "Post your question, and walk away for a few moments and hit refresh and believe it ornot you will usually have an answer when you get back" gotta love this internet thing. Kevin Thanks again.

Okay, I am going to replace my sprockets with his chain and have never attempted this on the Bird. I need to know if I will need to drain the clutch fluid since it appears the line runs into the cover for the counter sprocket. The manual I have does not state if this is needed. Any help would be appreciated Kevin

My Parents sold there bike and no longer have any use for this BRAND NEW tank bag. It was never used and they are looking to get 75 dollars+ shipping from it of best offer. They aslo have a Model HJC-90 Person to Person Sports Communication System ( open face model). This system can be fitted to a Full face helmet also since I also have one and have done so. The comminication system comes witheverything needed to fit to a helmet+ a speaker and boom mic for a pasenger helmet also so that it can be used as in intercom system also. They paid $150.00 for this system and it has never been installed into the helmets, my mother purchased a set in hopes that when we rode together my father and I would use them, but we were never able to arrange the same ride time. Please see pics.....

Slightly looser than the spec would be since once rider weight and that is added it will put tension on the chain.

Yeah Yeah, Thanks Vern and i am sure that you are correct, but it never hurts to ask for what you really want. I mean damn, I just sold a Corbin seat from my Magna that I paid $200.00 for and somebody gave me $275.00 for it. Granted we are talking apples and oranges, but like I stated. There is probably someone out there that likes the stock pipes and is trying to put their bike back on the road for minimal cost.
