    1999 Blackbird FS in my hometown

    in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted

    Posted

    I went and saw the bike last night. It has 28,000 miles The bike has had 2 other owners and he has had it since March this year, and he has put 2,800 miles on it. The bike has scratches and has been dropped on the right side at driveway speed. It is repairable. New chain and sprocket. He has a Two Brothers Ti oval slip on and a 4 to 2 to 1 header, it does sound good. The tank and dash are clean. He said the bike has no electrical problems. It has a alarm and he is having trouble getting it to function right. The bike runs the royal purple syn. oil. I would replace the tires. His wife wants a more comfortable bike. He said he gets 40 mpg on the hwy. with a throttle lock.

    I don't think he will get $4500.

    I am glad you are OK!! You can repair the Bird parts much easier than your body!!

    I know a guy that had a bolt either kicked up by the 18 wheeler or dropped off the 18 wheeler, it hit his helmet just above the visor and split the helmet rearward. He said is rang his bell but he was OK!!

    BINGO Griff, The Helmet Shop, with rep Chris, got my order....an Arai Profile Pearl Black 3XXX for $379 + 2 day air freight because it is coming out of CA. Normal orders are prepaid. This Profile 3XXX helmet lists at $550. I got a great new lid....finally! I am happy I get a new helmet for OZARXX and get to dump my Vega that needed so have a new liner and was DOT approved only. I have never liked my HJC although it is a good helmet, it never fit well for my long oval head shape. There was a pressure point that hurt my forehead!! I learned what little I know about helmets through the Arai and Shoei reps at the International Cycle Show.

    I will have to say I worked on Chris and got a better price....he was easy, and a good guy to work with!! If you need a helmet at a super price call him!!

    RC the best price on the other shop's wasn't as good as The Helmet Shop's price.

    Thanks for your help Griff and RC. Are we sure that is Redd in the big helmet......I wanted a start a caption contest....I must resist and not make that post. Redd will beat me with a bat next week!!!
