Pat830 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 OK gang, since I've acquired the FJR, I am going to sell the Blackbird, I don't need two bikes that do the same thing. I may acquire a bike to learn how to ride in the twisties better if I get enough out of her. Shorter wheelbase, lighter, etc.......... I'd rather she go to somebody here that I know that will take care of her and here is the question. Would you rather have her set up for touring like she is now, or do I return her to stock and sell the farkles seperately? The non stock parts are as follows. Givi windshield LSL bars with BMW grips Braided brake lines, still linked. Pazzo levers Daves peg lowering brackets Ohlins shock Yosh slip ons Corbin seat with backrest Mirror extenders Fenda extenda John's cam chain tensioner New Honda rectifier right after RedNeXXt last year. 38,xxx miles Very good condition, you've seen her. She purrs like a Honda. I'd rather sell her like she is without having to take the time to return her to stock but I will if necessary. Anybody want her, PM me if you do? No dibs called on the aftermarket parts yet, I would take them off and list them all at once, easier to keep track of that way. I have the stock seat, mufflers, levers, windshield, etc that would go with the bike. No long distance deliveries, time is tight these days. $4500 gets the title put in your name. Thanks, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganDonor Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 When you sell the farkles I call dibs on the cheetah print fabric from the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXitanium Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 ...do you have dimensions for how much rise and how far back the LSL bars move your hand position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat830 Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 ...do you have dimensions for how much rise and how far back the LSL bars move your hand position? I didn't measure before and after installation. You can see them in the pic, there is an appreciable difference. They are very comfortable and the added leverage is nice. Link to Spiegler website. Here is a pic more from the side level with the handlebars, you can see their position better. Rear view, the difference is very noticeable.

XXitanium Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hmmn, There's an idea that hadn't really crossed my feeble aging mind. I'll have to mull that over. Not a bad idea at all. Thanks, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTGwalt Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Bill, You should do it. Come to Rednexxt with us. Post up to see if you can catch a ride with anyone caging it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXitanium Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Man, reading this thread made getting this bike look easy. My wife still brings it up when we discuss finances. It just occurred to me. I've been riding my bike very much during the summer. In the winter, buying diesel for the truck to replace the miles I biked during the summer is an extra hit beyond the other fuel problems. The other problems I usually consider are those of the winter blend and fuel cost going up about 25 percent, and mileage dropping about 30 percent due to the cold. I go from spending about $200 per month to over $400 per month on diesel. Thanks again for the bike Pat. It fits me well in many ways.

CALCXX Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Bill, I looked real hard at Pat's XX. I think you got a hellva good bike. Glad you bought it. I know you were looking. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
