I PMd dotecher for more info. Price is tempting. I also found a 2009 K1300GT locally which I like. It is about $1400 more but I think more like the BB. 4cylinder vs boxer motor. I don't have the space for 2 bikes in the garage so something has to go.
Anyone interested in a 2002 BB with a bunch of good mods?

Sorry if my title is misleading. Didn't realize that there is a seat just called gunfighter.

I've had the bike since 2011 and bought that seat off a local guy maybe a year later. So not sure how old it is. I haven't used it much since I picked up a Corbin smuggler seat shortly after getting a set of beetle bags in 2014 and the gun fighter/lady seat hung on my garage wall since. I later picked up the backrest off eBay because I liked having a complete kit. There is a small tear on the backrest and the piping on the seat shows wear in a small section (few inches). They were both like that when I bought them. Hardly noticeable for me.

Thanks, Swamp. Long time since i saw that name. Good to see the old timers are still with their birds.
My buddies are thinking of a cross country trip next year and i doubt my old body can make it on the bird despite installing VFR bars recently. Will try to get some lowering pegs as well, but those touring bikes are starting to look attractive.

My interest is piqued. Anyway i can contact you for more info offline? I used to be able to PM on this forum but its been a while and I do not see any buttons for messages.

Looking for $300. Located in Southern MD.

I have a brand new in the box bracket, traditional orientation I will sell if someone needs it. I sold my XX and never installed this awesome rack.
Is it the bracket you are referring to?
If so, I'm interested.
Let me know.

I've seen this bike in person and the paint scheme is truly unique and done well. The buyer will not be disappointed. GLWS.

Nice looking bike. Sad to read the reason for the sale. Obviously, the owner was a person of fine taste in bikes. RIP.

Not really using the Blackbird GF/L seat since I picked up a smuggler afterwards.
Interested in a trade?
-
If you recall, it was I who bought your blackbird Corbin gf/l seat years ago.
-
Found your eBay ad.
The MY 2000 1200 does have different rear side passenger rails vs 2001-05 rear grab rails but not sure if seating contacts are different.
-
I saw the site and realized that it left out my2000. Not sure why either. We looked at a 2000 bandit 600 with Corbin GF/L seat and when I looked that one up before, I think I saw it would fit. Odd.
-
My kid picked up a '00 bandit 1200S a few months ago. Will this not fit that year? Can you post a pic, please? Thanks.
-
Nice bike. Good price. Almost picked up a similar bike in Florida for $2900 last year but missed out. However, just bought a 2000 Bandit 1200 for my son so no longer need another bike. GLWS though.

You will need the motech bracket which you fit on the bike using the rear hand rail bolts. You lose the handrails though. Then you need the plate that you attach onto the bracket on which the givi top case locks in. Make sure you get the right plate depending on whether your top case is a monolock or monokey case.
There is a guy on this or the other board who has designed and makes brackets which are cheaper than the motech.

Dammit. I should have saved the pic.

I definitely won't be looking at a 1500, tbh I'm looking at this:
or maybe this :
i really like like the cafe racer and he's put in quite a bit of work, done all the engine seals, belts, and carb work. The second one is about half the price but needs work.
How about this?

That was "Biker Boyz" not FTF. I forgot about that one. I think the BB lost the race.
Here is the clip for Die Another Day: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-WS8FF0TRfw

Sorry for hijacking the thread. Back to original topic: talking Jowhee out of selling his blackbird.

I may be following you, Jo. I have been eying a BMW R1200C that I saw on Craigslist. Spoke to the guy today. May look at it this coming weekend if it is still available. Debating whether I had enough fun on the BB over the past five years. Did a 600+ mile trip last weekend and I was sore. Muscles ached, butt was in pain for most of the ride. Corbin seat not very comfortable on long highway stretches. So I started looking at cruisers online which is what most of my friends in NJ ride. I ran into an ad for the R1200C (Montauk edition) and started looking up things about it. Slow as molasses with only 61Hp and 79lbft for a 600 lb bike. But I sort of like the style. And it is a cruiser that did not follow the Harley mold. It was featured in a Bond flick back in 2002. Die Another Day with Pierce Brosnan and Michele Yeow. Also found out it was in the opening scene of Austin Powers Gold Member. That is two more movies than the BB has been featured in.

Is it a fast silver one?
-
He does. He just buys bigger shoes to perpetuate the rumor.
-
That's a great color. What color will yours be, Dave?
Just wondering whether I should get this one or wait until you sell yours in 2017 for $75k. All dependent on whether I win the powerball tonight of course.
