brent Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Hello All, its been a long time since I been on here, I have a 1998 turbo blackbird that I enjoyed for quite some time. I had an issue with the fuel pump that bent a valve, I had the motor dropped and the engine rebuilt lasted me a few months until the cam gear fell off..... since then its been sitting in my friends garage collecting dust which is a shame, life changes are forcing me to sell and hopefully find someone who enjoyed it as much as i did. these photos are when it was last running, the paint i am sure is scratched up and will need to be repainted from sitting in a garage. I will try and get some updated photos. I have put 20k+ into this bike, accepting a reasonable offer. Bike is located in Springfield MA Brent Edited March 14, 2021 by brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I'll start the bidding at $100. I can't think of a way that a fuel pump issue would lead to a bent valve, can you explain that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBLXX Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Damn shame. Hopefully it goes to someone who can revive her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
