  1. Thanks, eBay won't allow me to make changes after the listing goes live.
  2. On eBay now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/196300813820
  3. LMK if he's serious. Glad to go over the bike with him in detail.
  4. It's a US bike with all Honda plastics from later years. I painted the gas tank - it's a 3 stage paint, and I did a workable job, but not show quality.
  5. Someone was asking after the lift table the blackbird is on. It's from HMC Industries, a US based company. I saw them @ the Aprilia dealer and they said they were a quality piece. This lifts the Blackbird with only 75# of air pressure. You can get cheaper, but a lift failure will endanger you, your bike, and other vehicles in the garage. Buying quality is a small price to pay for peace of mind. Also, I like to buy American when possible, https://www.hmcindustries.com/
  6. 1997 CBR1100XX Blackbird Candy Glory Red Galfer wave rotors (front) Brembo brake and clutch master Updated fork springs and spacers Nitron rear shock and spring set for ‘aggressive street’ HID headlight bulb shielded to avoid blinding oncoming traffic (forum member part) High beam HID as well. LED instrument panel, turn signal, and brake light bulbs. Michelin pilot sport tires. Corbin Saddle. Fresh oil every 3k miles. Last oil change on 8/16/23 at 73k miles I got this bike years ago as a police auction bike through eBay. Went through everything from front to back. This bike spent most of its life commuting on I-405 in Southern California from San Clemente to Irvine, with one notable stint in the bay area and a epic ride back down to SoCal. No accidents. A recent tip over in the garage scratched the mirror cover and right fairing. Some sun fading on the cowl and rail. All plastics are Honda. Just took here out to get a Texas inspection. Runs like a watch. Last valve check revealed zero needed adjustments. The motor is settled in and will likely outlast all of us. No leaks, some oil misting from the alternator cable where it exits the motor. It has some ‘patina’ from its age, but nothing dramatic. Get on and ride anywhere. Will throw in any spares I can dig out of boxes and will coordinate shipping and inspection if you’re not local to San Antonio, Texas. Hate to sell her, but it’s time. I’ve barely put 200 miles in it in the last 3 years.

  7. Try David Silver Spares

  9. Just dropped in to stare at your avatar for a few hours, thanks

  10. My 69k mile '97 bird shifts and finds neutral just fine. I'm currently using Lubrimoly in it, but have put whatever quality 10w-40 oil is on sale in it every 3k miles. IMHO your clutch might need a rebuild. Alternatively, check your hydraulic clutch actuation system - it might not be functioning correctly.
  11. Got the chain tensioner and installed it last night. Easy fix and the bike is running great again. Great service and fast shipping from John! Everyone should buy from him!
