I did a search and didn't find anything. So here we go. I have been in the process of rebuilding my Bird after a unfornate downing nine months ago. Long story short I did a lot of powder coating. After I put her back together she ran great. The bike has been back in running condition for a few months now and I would start it ever few weeks. I have had it on a battery tender since I have been starting it. I finally got my fairings and other mics. parts in this past week. I went to move the Bird and it seemed to be running strange. I get it moved but it was hell to keep her running. At idle its seems to missing and dies sometimes. It sounds like a v-twin. Really strange exhaust note. Once the rpms get up it seems normal besides the black smoke it puff out every once in a while. So my first thoughts where one of poilet jets are clouged, spark plugs, or coils. Spark Plugs are brand new. Just ran on the bike stand in the garage. Maybe two hours of run time. Today I cleaned the carbs and found one poilet jet to be clouged. A brust of air cleaned it out. The rest of the carbs looked clean. So I checked spark. Spark is there but seems weak. It seems my lawnmower has more spark than the bird. Battery died during this process so I have jumped to one of our cars. Not sure if that matters. I'm out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appericated. Weather getting to nice not to be ridding and this is the only thing holding me back. Sorry for the novel.

Yes. They sand blasted it and covered it with tape.

Here's some pics. Edit: As you where posting I was uploading.

powder or paint? Sorry, powder. He might of cut me deal though. I also had lower fork tubes, frame, swing arm, and sub-frame done. .

I had my done a few months ago. Had them done in satin black for 75 a wheel.

Sorry I was out of town. Let me know what a fair price would be plus shipping.

I have one but it needs paint. Pervious owner painted it black with metal flake.

Lower Right Side-100.00 Rear Cowl-100.00 Front Fender-75.00 Half Cowl-Part that goes behind the front wheel-50.00 Alpinestar Air-Flo Jacket XL-100.00 All these are scratched and need paint. No cracks and all the mounting points are there. The front fender has some road rash up front. The rear cowl has four small holes drilled in it for the Motek Undertail kit. They where all paint black with a metal flake. The previous owner did this. I wasn't a fan. Jacket I wore a few times and decided it was to small. Thought I would give ya'll a chance at this stuff before I ebay it. Don't have pics right now. I'll see if I can get some up tonight. All prices are obo plus shipping.

Pics changed my mine. Going to spend the extra cash and fix the OE mirriors. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Anyone else?

Wondering if anyone has used these. Anyone have pics of them mounted? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

I torn down the bike a few months ago and now I having a problem remembering where they go. There is a line that plug up to the block under the left side carb(I guessing carb 1)? Also the vacuum line from the fuel petcock(sp?). I have looked all over the service manual and nothing. Also I have removed the PAIR system and pluged the lines.

I tried that and the welds started to pull away from the frame. I found the lower fairing stay. For $10.00 for a set I'm going to try.

I crashed my 98 bird a couple months back and the process of rebuilding. The frame is fine besides the top mount for the lower fairing is bent and the bolt broke off inside. On the later birds doesn't that part bolt on instead of being welded? If this is true does anyone have one or know where I can get one. I have searched some the OEM parts sites but haven't came across anything. Also has anyone repaired this before and how did you do it? I'm looking for options. I do have access to a TIG and MIG but my welding skills on aluminum are not the best. I plan on powder coating the frame and other parts so not worried about the the finish. Thanks

How much for the upper fairing? You can pm me.
