jmillington Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Good eye! The only mishap I had with this Blackbird was a run-in with a crazy dog. I was riding along with 2 buddies on a 2 lane highway at about 60mph (I was second in line), when a crazy dog bolted at us from the right (trying to bite the bikes?), missing the first bike and hitting the Blackbird on the right fairing lower causing some damage to it. I replaced the right fairing lower, but never did re-install that bolt and forgot about it until now, as the fairing lower is solid even without that bolt installed. Thanks! Bump for a nice bike..

SierraKLR Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Looks like a very clean bike...but why does it always bother me when a very little thing like a missing bolt is left off..."just because" ? It's those little things that always drives me nuts... Am I they only one with this affliction ? It's probably me just being over the top. Anyways....the point of this post was to offer to inspect if any out of area folks are seriously interested. I'm local in the area that the bike is for sale. (PS...not my first post on this forum. I had to change screen names a while back and have been lurking here since) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbird Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 For the record, that's a CA bike. Yes, there's a difference. Note the thicker mid-pipes, there's catalytic converters in there. Pretty sure there's other stuff, smog canister, ect, that we don't see in the other 49 states. Thus the "49 state model" vs. "CA model".

Someone will be happy with it! Tim, never would have noticed the mid-pipes before you pointed them out. Cool it of info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
