      Sorry bud, just sold it last year. I wanted a DS bike and couldn't afford the licensing and tabs on so many bikes. Ended up selling it and getting a Suzi DR650.

    Parts Guide

    Partzilla - always cheaper than dealer, Honda Directline, and Ron Ayers.
  3. You sanded down, cleaned, and greased BOTH sliders right? I'm always checking to make sure the caliper and bracket can slide apart easily when I separate them. Usually one slider is okay, but the other one gets gunked up a little more and trends to stick.
  4. When I worked on mine awhile ago, any stud that came out with the nut attached went to the wire wheel, then some PB Blast, sat for about 20 mins, and finally into the vise for nut removal. Then ran a tap through each nut and a die down each stud - including the studs that remained in the head. Amazing how much cleaner the studs look after that. Finally anti-seize during reassembly. Worked like a charm. When I pulled them off again a few months ago, nuts came off easily. I made sure to repeat the process.
  5. Haha - that's some phenomenal problem solving skills right there!!!
  6. Damn, 99Bird (Gary) just bought one that arrived last Thursday....

    Rear Cowl

    Partzilla has been cheaper for EVERY Blackbird part I ever looked up. 72250-MAT-A30ZB. $380.50 And usually when you look up by year, it lists only your part numbers and not all numbers for every year.
  8. Blink code.....next time FI light comes on, pull over, put bike in neutral, and put kickstand down. Then count the FI light blinks. There will be a series of long and short blinks - each long blink is 5, and short blinks are single. (Ex: long short short is 7). Then look up what fault that code is. That being said, it is a 2000. Have you done the loom fix yet?
  9. Mine is a Datel voltmeter mounted on the dash. I used to have it mounted in the side panel, but found that, while blingy and cool, it wasn't convenient to monitor (always having to look down) - much easier where it is now. Very old pic of the side panel mount (need to enlarge - it's the only one I could find)
  10. Unfortunately, he's actually partially correct here. On my 97 and 2000, I installed a switch to turn on my fan at will. There's a thermo switch in the side of the radiator for the 2000 and older Birds which completes ground when temp reaches whatever preset it is and turns the fan on (hot lead already supplied to fan motor on a separate line). I tapped into that line and complete the ground with my manual switch (thermo switch still works too). My wife's 2001 does not have that same thermo switch in the side and the microfiche confirms different part numbers for older vs newer rads. I gather since you have actual temp readouts, you have a 2001 or newer with digital dash and sensor/switch set-up will be different than the older ones - which I must also assume Zero has or he really is talking out of his ass.
  11. Yes, I did it this weekend. You are correct, it's a metal reinforced seal, but came out pretty easy with a screwdriver pressed along the edge. It did end up all bent to hell, but I was replacing it anyway.Put the new one in by positioning it and pressing it in as far as I could with my fingers, then tapping it in with a 17mm socket. Nice, good to know. But since we both just changed it with over 100K, we prob won't be doing it again!
  12. Rich, Did you ever do this? I just replaced mine like maybe three weeks ago when I had the case apart. IIRC, I don't think you're gonna be able to replace from the outside. I just threw my old one away but seem to think it was metal reinforced and won't bend.
  13. The single biggest breakthrough for me was to spread the caliper/pads before re-assembly. Getting everything lined up was always a pain. Haven't had any trouble putting the rear on since I started that practice. A little grease on the spacers to hold them in place, put the chain on the sprocket, and she just lifts right into place if those pads have plenty of room for the rotor to slot into. Good luck...
  14. Hub width should be the same but I know for a fact that the width between rotors is the same. I'm able to swap wheels from my '97 to the '00 with no rotor fitment issues. As Bird said, only thing that has to happen is that the entire axle/spacer assy has to go with the wheel. Meaning 97 axle, spacers, and wheel (with stock 97 rotors mounted in stock 97 position) fits in 2000 forks.
