Bump for another price drop.

Bump. Pictures added.

Bump for lower price; see first post.

Posting changed to a For Sale posting; see updated first posting for details.

No lambasting, I asked for opinions and I appreciate your input. I agree with you that I'd do better on the extras if I stripped them off and sold them here separately, but I simply am physically unable to do that, so they have to go with the bike.

Thanks. That's good input. The mileage will be a problem, I know, so I'm going to first concentrate on selling it on places where people know that, for a Blackbird, 44k miles is nothing, such as here and on the other XX forum. As for selling items separately, I don't have the strength/stamina anymore to do any removal of components. R/R of the shock absorber would be completely beyond my abilities now. R/R of the Power Commander would be equally difficult. As such, I'm going to sell her as is, with all the goodies in place; it's the only I can do at this point.

Thanks for your input, Barry. I appreciate the feedback.

The bike has been sold.

I have a full Givi wing rack (without turn signals) and top box mount that I no longer want. I wasn't using the side bag mounts, so I removed the whole setup. I would still like to have the option of using a top box now and then, as it would work for carrying my oxygen, so I was looking at the SW-Motech Alu-Rach unit. It's nice, small, and nondescript when mounted, which is something I would like. So, thought I ask if anyone here who has the SW-Motech unit might be interested in a trade. The SW-Motech unit sells for about $140 on Twisted Throttle, where as the complete Givi setup (Y158 and N140) runs around $200, I think. I would be interested in a straight across trade, including shipping, i.e. I ship mine to you, you ship yours to me. I can email pictures of my wing rack components, if you would be interested in seeing them. I have all parts, bolts, nuts, washers, etc., as well as the mounting instructions. Thanks. -Keith

I'm pretty partial to my Yoshi RS3s. Nice, mellow sound, but will definitely be heard at full chat. They have 25,000 miles on them now and are really in need of a repack; IMO, they've become too loud after all those miles. I have the repack kit from Yoshi in the garage, just need time and energy to get the job done.

I had Dave at GP do all of that to my forks a couple of years back when there was a group buy. It made a major difference in the handling of the 'bird. I got the 8981 shock, which is the unit being offered on the group buy, which also made a huge difference in handling; I don't know what the difference between the two might be. Edit: I just looked back in my records: the forks were $465 and the shock was $760 on the group buy.

OK, I guess I see it... Really a bit obtuse.

I guess I'll ask the dumb question: WTF is "A-Style"???

Audi us using LEDs for headlights as well as headlight surround accent lighting on the R8: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/30/audi-r8...-led-headlamps/ It appears the A8 is also going to have them: http://www.ledsmagazine.com/news/7/1/2 One article indicated the LED headlight option on the R8 is an extra $5000.

Something is not kosher here... :icon_think:

Is the '09 a 50 state bike? If not, it has to have 7500 miles on it in order to register it in Kalifornia. Just wondering... :icon_think:

I always check the kill switch first when the bike won't start. It seems 50% of the time I leave the bike in a parking lot, some numb nuts decides it would be really funny to trip the kill switch and hope I'll spend an hour trying to figure out why the bike won't start.

It's not new, it has 15,000 miles on it: 2001 in LA Area Looks to be in good condition, though. They're asking $5300.

Interesting input. I asked him about the difference between the GPs and the regular, full size cans, and he said they were not as loud... I guess, as I said before, that I'll repack my Yoshimuras. Thanks for the updated info.

Interesting. Mine goes off at about 200. Also see as high as upper 220s; have never seen 230.

I heard this, too. They will be selling 2010s until they are gone, then bring the 2012, built in Japan, over mid-2011.

+1, same on my '03.

Sorry, I figured you meant a Connie too. I know a dealer in San Diego that got two 09's at the same auction I did. I dont know what kind of deal they would do, but I can ask. Thanks. No, I'm not interested in an '09 Connie; if I was going that route, I'd get the updated '10. I was mostly asking about either of the KLXs.

Are these 50 state bikes? 49 STATE. Not Cali. Sorry. I know a California dealer that got one though if you want me to check with him. "Got one" what?

Are these 50 state bikes?
