rasputin Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Looking for bits or someone's crash total to buy. A friend needs a motor, I want some wheels, we both need a few other minor bits so a whole bike that's been bent might be ok. Might pay shipping or might drive a reasonable distance. Will always pay cash. We're centrally located in the Nations. I'll post in another forum about reconnecting with the Cinnamon Girl after 40 years & the resulting 3 weeks & 3000 miles across 8 states twice on a Blackbird.

That's a rare item. Indeed. But to a forum member.....IDK.....$100? At a glance they seem to go around 200-300 on ebay. They're off a '97 with about 65k on them. The bike was all stock so I assume the carbs are too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasputin Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 His is a 98 needing a motor. Mine is an 03, I just want an extra set of wheels to send for paint & bearings plus we warped a front rotor on the Barber/Smoky Mountain ride. That's night big a deal. I can find new rotors but if Fredo had to buy a bike to get a motor I'm in for parts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOXXIC Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Interesting, looked pretty hammered to me. I live about 10 miles from it if you need anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasputin Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Sorry, it was intended as sarcasm. I thought I'd seen a good deal of that at this board over the years. Maybe I misunderstood. Just for the record yes, she's pretty hammered. I don't want anyone to think it was in anything remotely aporoaching rideable condition. that's pretty clear from the photos. I was just trying to make a small joke. Jack said it really looked worse in person. He said it does indeed start & run smoothly though. Good project motor. We found one almost locally. It's a 99 with 38k on the clock. I'm leaving it in my buddy's hands and we're going to St. Louis for a few days. I may still be looking for wheels when I get back but we shall see.

rockmeupto125 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Ras.......sarcasm is the official language. Toxxic just changes it up once in a while (sometimes he stays up to late at night). Keep in mind that you're going to have to change the head on an injected engine to put carbs on it. Or course, if you had all the parts, you could just put the injection and all in the carbed frame. AND, if you buy carbed XX, the front wheel, rotors, axle, and spacers will swap out with yours as a package, but you can't use any of those individual parts. The wheels and rotors are different between carbed and injected, and the axle/spacers are then different to match. Brakes and lower fork legs are not a problem.

rasputin Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 She has been known to dump a package of red hots into a quart jar of......um..... distilled water, 120 proof distilled water anyway. So she comes by it naturally. That nick actually came from our misbegotten youth and listening to too much Neil Young long ago and probably too much of other things too. It was also her cb handle in the late 70s during the cb radio craze. "KZY3549 Cinnamon Girl" She also might have been the girl on the mechanical bull in a tv commercial for an infamous local cowboy type bar circa 1980 something. I hadn't seen her in 40 years. Wished me happy birthday on facebook & I asked if she wanted to go for a beer sometime. She said she didn't really drink anymore but we could go have a beer & catch up. We did. When we left the bar that Sunday the Goose Island Pale tap was dry, the Guinness blonde tap was dry & I had a ninety something bar tab. Good thing she doesn't "really drink" anymore. I told her it was just like riding a bicycle. 3 weeks later she'd moved in. We were looking at my pics of the 2015 Barber Vintage Festival one night and she said "I want to go!" I said "on the Blackbird?" "Of course, how else would you go to an event like that?" That led to 3 weeks on the 'Bird, 3000 miles, Barber Vintage festival, Hurricane Nate, Deal's Gap....twice, Wheels Through Time & Maggie Valley, Blue Ridge & Foothills Parkway, a few days to visit old friends in S.C. not seen in 10 years and 2 trips across the Ozarks the twisty way. And throughout all of it she never complained about anything. Not even once. Really. I'll post some pics & tales from the trip in another thread eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasputin Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Yeah, they're great bikes! Oh she's gonna kick my ass...... In all seriousness it was more fun than either of us have had in a long time. No schedule after Barber, no hurry, just ride, eat & damage the local Yuengling stock every night. I wasn't planning on going last year until we reconnected & she wanted to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
