What you're thinking of is called a travel indicator. this is called a dial test indicator.

I measured .070" total pressure plate travel.

Oh and by the way I now have an excellent axle.

I'm sure most of you already know this but if any of you don't please be advised rockmeupto125 as a really nice guy. Kung Fu aside I wish I could shake his hand and buy him a beer.

Jon has had some success with a high-performance blackbird( gross understatement)

I would be most grateful kind sir. how much with shipping to 64075? thank you.

does anyone have a straight rear axle and nut? It's for a 99 but I think they're all the same. Willing to trade toilet paper or possibly an intact tool strap.

Smoke test on the sh 847 was successful, the smoke stayed in. Voltage steady at 14.5 headlight off or headlights with high beams on plus 60 watt heated vest. The regulator was barely warm to the touch at 50 degrees ambient temperature. Jack at roadstercycle was great to deal with. highly recommended.

One of the claimed advantages of a series type regulator is reduced stress on the stator. We shall see.

I just spoke to Jack at Roadster cycles and to answer my own question the black wire is an Exciter wire to the Honda regulator and not needed with the sh847 regulator.

Did you make any connection to where the black wire was previously? Looking at the factory wiring diagram it appears the black wire might have something to do with operating the fuel pump.

does anyone have any experience or thoughts regarding the series type voltage Regulators such as the shindengen SH847. Also does anyone know what the black wire on the voltage regulator is for?

I just did that on 2 99 Birds. Remove the windshield and the plastic trim beneath the instrument cluster. there is a zip tie underneath the plastic trim. 1 bike the connector was front and center and easy to get to just in front of the instrument cluster. The other bike the connector was sort of buried over on the left hand side down beside the instrument cluster. it was doable with forceps and needle nose pliers

I don't know anything about the site. I just stumbled upon it. buyer beware.

Hello nomadicdread. You might try Googling shoppok. Search Honda Blackbird in motorcycle category. good luck.

Thank you for the information. I was going by memory which seems to get less reliable every day. Yes I'm hoping to find some used ones. New would be Last Resort.

Looking for a decent set of VFR bars. 02 to 09 i think but if I'm wrong hopefully someone will correct me.
