  1. I have a 99 Blackbird seat that has been cut down about 1 " and recovered in non-slip black. There aren't any rips or marks on the seat. It's softer than the stock seat and still supportive. It helps shorter riders without the need to lower the bike. I'm asking $50 plus shipping. If interested PM me. Thanks
  2. The air filter is for the FI version. It was purchased for a 99 Bird.

  7. SOLD I'm selling my 99 Blackbird. It has a custom paint job with a light kit under the fenders and around the engine. There is also a Blackbird stencil on the chrome windscreen. The bike has 32,000 miles on it. I've recently replaced the stator, R/R, Battery, Sprockets, Chain, Tires, CCT, Micron Exhaust, brakes, and fresh oil change. Bike is garage kept and never raced or abused. Bike looks and runs 100% I'm asking $3800.00 If interested or want more information, let me know. Thanks.
  8. Where exactly do I put the feeler gauge to check this clearance? I'm new to this. Thanks
  9. I'm getting ready to remove the wheels from my bike to put new tires on. In the owner's manual it describes loosening the left and right pinch bolts on the front fork before loosening the axle bolt. It says after reinstalling the wheel, check the caliper holding bolt to disc clearance. If this is not .7 mm, the pinch bolts should be loosened and the forks moved in or out to gain proper clearance. Can someone explain this process to me. I thought that I could just remove one caliper and remove the axle bolt, and I was good to go. Not clear about this whole pinch bolt/clearance issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
  10. I have too many toys, so the Blackbird must go. I am the second owner. It's a 99 with a custom air-brushed paint job. There is a blackbird stencil on the chrome windscreen. The eyes in the skulls light up. There is a full light kit on the bike as well. The bike has 30,000 miles on it. Never raced or abused, and garage kept. It has new stator, Regulator, Battery, Sprockets, Chain, Tires, Exhaust, and fresh oil change. Bike looks and runs 100%. Never been down. I'm asking $4400/BO. Please email me at ninja.655@hotmail.com if interested.
  11. How can I tell if my steering head bearings are worn out? I have 30,000 miles on my 99 and I want to make sure it's safe to ride. Thanks,
  12. Update: found that when I wiggled the wire loom block that I recently cleaned, the turn signal lights and the rear brake light worked again. I'm going to see if I can put a clamp on the wires to hold them in place. If not, I'll have to find someone who does soldering work. Hint: if there is anyone close to me who can help with this, I'd appreciate it. Just send me a PM. Thanks for all the help.
  13. I noticed while 2-up riding the other day that my turn signals weren't working. I brought bike home and noticed the following issues: my running lamps in the mirrors were on while bike was running and when I pushed the turn signal button to the left, the left mirror running lamp went off. When I canceled the turn signal, the lamp came back on. Does the same thing on the right side. Meanwhile, neither turn light in the rear comes on at all. Earlier that day they started working fine, but then just quit. I looked at the connectors in the back by the computer and all looked ok. I also noticed that my front brake lever activates my rear brake light, but the rear brake pedal does not activate the rear brake light now. Not sure if they are related issues. Any ideas on things I can check like voltage or specific wires. Thanks
  14. it's been 3 days since my charging system got replaced and all is well. Thanks,

    It's alive

    This is my final update to my 99 got towed saga. I finally got my parts and installed the R/R, Stator, and New Battery today, along with a thorough cleaning of the wire loom. The battery was reading 12.9 volts before starting the bike up. After starting and idling, the volts held steady at 12.5. As soon as I revved the bike to 1500 rpms and up, the volts increased to 14.7. I'm ecstatic. It's running much smoother now. I want to thank everyone for their help. And a special thanks to Rich for his wonderful pictures and to Donald for his extensive knowledge of these bikes. Thanks again
