Underlings Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I've thoroughly enjoyed my 2000 metallic titanium 2000 Blackbird for 10 years...only to drop it at low speed a month ago. Purely cosmetic damage, but the insurance company totaled it anyway. I've since bought a 2006 Hayabusa...which doesn't run as smoothly as my Blackbird, nor does it accelerate any faster (I had my XX geared down at the expense of top speed but giving it faster acceleration), nor is it as comfortable, nor is it as unique and elegant. In short, I miss my 'bird...but she's gone. The only thing left is the Corbin Beetle Bags I removed from her corpse. I didn't give them to the insurance company because they offered little for them. The bags do have a scratched area on the right side where it kissed the pavement, but that can be repaired as good as new for a few hundred dollars. I'm hoping to sell them for $650 to someone in the SF Bay area (I'd rather avoid shipping issues, but it's a possibility). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underlings Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hmm, not much interest in Corbin Beetle Bags these days, it seems. Or are there just too few 2000 Blackbirds still on the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoWhee Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 These things usually go pretty quick, it's probably just because of the winter season. I'd be interested if I hadn't just acquired a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strek Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I think they are kind of specialty item. Some folks really like them. They will move when more people see them. I like them. I think they look great on the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underlings Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah, I love the look on the bike too. Well, I hope someone wants them. I'm willing to come down on the price if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strek Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yes winter here in Chicagoland although we've been somewhat lucky. I've gotten a few rides in this month. Rare for these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXera Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Do you still have all the necessary mounting hardware to go with them, like the bolts, spacers, washers, nuts, and bottom L braces? How about the keys also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXitanium Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm interested but kind of broke right now. Still making the payments on the bike at least. See my avatar - Titanium was the model I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the keys also? Yes indeed, all parts included...including even the spare key. I'm interested but kind of broke right now. Still making the payments on the bike at least. See my avatar - Titanium was the model I wanted. Metallic titanium is an amazing color. Not so typical as black, but more eye-grabbing and just as sinister. The only problem is trying to describe what it looks like: "Well, it's kind of a metallic brownish greenish sort of color...ish." "Thanks a pantload. That helps." "But it really looks gorgeous." "Sounds it. Brownish greenish. Yup, that sounds beautiful...like week-old meat." "No, no, it's not like that at all." "Right...like METALLIC week-old meat." "No, you've got it all wrong, it's more like--" "My Yamaha is metallic blood red. Now THAT'S gorgeous." "Blood red? Like meat juice?" "What? No!" "Oh, right...METALLIC meat juice." "You suck, you know that." "You too, honey. Now don't forget to pick up the kids after school." Ummm...what was I talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermarine Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Yeah, I love the look on the bike too. Well, I hope someone wants them. I'm willing to come down on the price if necessary. My bike's a 2000 in titanium. If you'll take $500 (plus whatever the shipping cost to CT is), I'll mail you a U.S. Postal Money Order immediately.
