I know I am going to get lambasted like usual, so bring it on.
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.

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 called Dave Hodges at GP Suspension today and discussed how to upgrade the suspension on the Blackbird. Ultimately, we decided to do the same things as were done to my FJR1300.
Fork Services
Labor
Oil
Fork Seals
GP Suspension Fork Springs
Correct Valving Stack on Rebound Pistons
Compression Kit
Dust Seals, Bushings
Rear Shock Absorber
Penske Model #8983 (felt that it would be a better choice than the Ohlins)
__________________
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.

Really Keith look at the pic. The two heads, one on their knees the other behind. Someone get this guy a picture. :icon_helpsign:
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:

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:
-
Thanks for the assistance but I checked the kill switch instead and it started right up.....
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.
-
Brand new? Do you know how much are they selling for?
Thanks.
It's not new, it has 15,000 miles on it:
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.

+1 on my '03 it goes off at 209 F. I see temps in the 220's and even up to the 230's.
Interesting. Mine goes off at about 200. Also see as high as upper 220s; have never seen 230.
-
Sorry Dave, there will be no 2011 Goldwing. Period. End of Story. Early release 2012 anticipated July 2011
I heard this, too. They will be selling 2010s until they are gone, then bring the 2012, built in Japan,
over mid-2011.
-
On my 2002, the fan kicks in at about 215 F.
+1, same on my '03.

"Got one" what?
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.
