Still interested.................

Anyone looking to sell a low mileage (<12,000 mi.) Blackbird in Houston? I had a 2003 and should have held on to it. I currently have a 2005 Yamaha FZ1, which is immaculate and has a more upright seating position. Both are very fine machines. Under the right circumstances, I might be persuaded to move back to a 2001-2003 Blackbird. I'm in no hurry, but I am interested. Please let me know if you have a Houston-based Blackbird that you're thinking of selling/trading.

I've just ordered a National Cycle Cheetah windscreen for my new Blackbird (this is my first post to this forum). Apologies if this has been posted before but I was not able to find any specifics around the "how to" aspect of screen replacement. My question is: What are the steps involved in repacing the stock windscreen with a replacement windscreen? I observed that the upper two (one per side) "bolts" have nuts underneath them but the lower four (two per side) are obscured by the fairing. Do these "bolts" also have nuts on their bottom side which would require removal of part of the fairing or are the nuts attached to the fairing? If so, that would mean that the screen replacement would only require ensuring that the nuts for the top two nuts (one per side) dont get lost when loosening the bolts and then removing the other four bolts, then removing the windscreen and finally, reversing the removal procedure to replace with the new windscreen. Are these the right steps or does something else need to be considered? Thanks, Rob
