All items sold. Thanks!

OK, since I sold of my Blackbird, I still had a couple of items sitting around. #1: A set of Dave Strom Footpeg lowering brackets for the Blackbird. Essentially brand new in the box, and never installed. How does $50 sound shipped to you. #2 A tinted windshield that fits the Blackbird. Has the "Double Bubble", but I cannot confirm who the manufacturer is, as there are no markings to ID. Windshield was on my 1998 Bird when I purchased the bike. There is no damage or major scratches. How does another $50 sound. If I am way off on my prices, don't be afraid to make a reasonable offer. I would be willing to do a package offer which would reduce my shipping costs. I can accept Pay Pal to: Ack535@msn.com Pete

Bike sold over the weekend. I am going to miss her!

I have the stock screen and bars that will go with the Bike. This is a turn key, adult owned, no issues Blackbird. Price: $3,400 Best way to contact is through e mail to: ack535@msn.com or you can call 517.719.6323. Thanks! Pete

Yeah, I seen that too. It's just hard to be the prices over at Jake Wilson.com

Mitch, sent you a P/M. I should be able to send it out to you via USPS in the next couple of days. -5 here right now, so it may be a day before I can get her out to you.

Put my 1998 Blackbird back to stock. P.O. put on the K & N last year. Very little usage, less than 1,000 miles. No need to have a good filter just laying around, so the first one to raise their hand gets it. Just throw me a few bucks to cover cost of shipping from 48895. Thanks! Pete Pic:

Hey, I am interested in the ZG Sport Touring shield with laminar lip, both in clear. How much shipped to 48895. PM Sent also.

Yeah, they switch over by mid October. Why such crappy milage out of the Birds? I got around 42 out of my old FJR1300.

Yes, that is the same with my Blackbird. Temp guage on the freeway runs about 1/8 up from cold. And yes, my milage is around 35 to 38 mpg. Not very good...

OK, so I am new to the Blackbird. Overall, I love the bike, but one thing is bothering me. Although it has been cool around here (and getting cooler), as hard as I try, the temp guage needle on my BB only goes up at most 1/4 of the way. Is this normal? Pete

I liked the Yoshi's but the carbs were not re-jetted to match the pipes. It was easier to go back to stock than mess with the carbs. Besides I am not any smarter than the Honda engineers who figured this shit out...

If you are offering the VFR bars with the throttlemeister bar ends together for $150.00 - That is a smokin deal :icon_thumbsup: Thanks, not trying to make a mortgage payment, just hook an XX'r up. Yes, I agree that is a smokin deal! I'll take em! Do you want a Pay Pal? I'll send you a PM as well. Thanks! Pete

Not to kill any potential sales, but there's no way you can know that after one "real" ride. Get used to the bike before you spend money fixing shit that might not be broke. What was your last bike? My last bike was an FJR. I did spend 45 miles on the XX the other day. My impressions were great bike, really well planted, tough ergos on my 47 year old frame. I do keep in mind that I just walked away from a head on crash with a deer wwhich totaled out my FJR, and I am still sore all over... I do think I would like to relax the ergos a bit. Pete

How long did it take to pry the smile off your face? What is the going rate for VFR bars these days. I believe I have a set collecting dust in the garage. If you have them still collecting dust in your garage, I am sure we can work out a fair price! Just let me know. Pete

Anyone sitting on an extra set of VFR Bars, or know where I can get a set? Checked flea bay, and the pickins are slim... Took my first real ride today on the XX, I definately need them! Pete

Can't wait to get them!

Very nice!

Make sure I get your address, and I will ship out today via USPS. Pete

Just removed the Whistler Cruisader Radar/Laser Detector from my newly acquired Blackbird. Unit works just fine, and is pre-set up for a Blackbird. Has front & rear sensors, wires, mounting bracket for CBR1100XX, and leads to battery terminals. Added bonus: Comes with the optional wireless in helmet display. Only thing that is missing is the flashing LED warning light that wires into the dash of your Blackbird. Previous owner used some kind of Gorilla Glue, and I couldn't get the little bastard out! Unit is on E bay for $129. How about the smoking low price of $25 Bucks and she is yours! Pay Pal to Ack535@msn.com and that includes shipping within the US.

I would like the stock exhaust. Dont. need the header, but I do need the stock cans. I'll send you a PM as well. Pete (Michigan)

Hey Ack...was this bike in Charlotte, MI? If so, I saw it on CraigsList. Very cool bike, congrats!!! Yes, bought her down in Charlotte MI on C/List. Pete

Thanks Jon, if you find them let me know! I'd be happy to shoot you some $ via pay pal or via snail mail to cover your costs. Thanks again! Pete

OK guys, this is what I purchased: 1998 Model year 18 K Miles Yoshi Pipes Newer Michelins Paid $3,300 for the bike Thanks for all of your input! Also looking for a set of VFR Bars if anyone has some, or knows where a set is at let me know! Pete

That is on my short list of things to update. Can you tell me if there is a special procedure for flushing the brake fluid on the linked brake system? Thanks!
