    1998 Honda CBR1100xx Blackbird

    Now that's funny! You could get 3 weeks of kick ass fun. After that you could just let your feet dangle off to the side and not put them on the pegs.

    1998 Honda CBR1100xx Blackbird

    Thanks for the compliments guys. I think this bike would be a good fit someone between the ages of 35-55. It would be good fit for someone longing for a Busa or an FJR but just can't afford one. The blackbird never really had quirky model years that should be avoided. All years are good. 97...

    1998 Honda CBR1100xx Blackbird

    FJR guys this is for you, I have had 2 FJR’s and they are great bikes. However, one summer day when riding my black 2008 I was fussing with the windshield and couldn’t find a good turbulent free position. I wanted cleaner air, so my plan was to cut the windshield down but instead I sold the...

    Perfect setup - how?

    Yooper, I had this same observation when I had the stock Metzler Z6's. I went with the PR2's and the bike is now very neutral and doesn't want to stand up in the corners....stays where you put it. Much nicer to ride now.

    Throttle spring mod

    I now have an 08 and haven't had to release the center spring. I had an 07 and it was brutal before I did the spring unwind (G2 throttle tube, and PC111). I think Yamaha did something to relieve the tension in 08. I do know they changed the throttle pully cam profile in 08. That, coupled...

    Need some friendly advice

    Put on a set of Michelin Pilot Road 2's. My 08 came with Z6's and the bike felt a bit truckish (especially after they were wore out). I love my FJR now. The PR2's made a huge difference. But it is a big bike, and it is what it is.

    WTB: Corbin Seat for 2008 FJR

    I'm looking for a Corbin seat. Must be in great condition. I Would like rider and passenger seats but would settle for the front saddle only. I prefer all black with standard stitching as pictured on the Corbin website. Rod

    Woot!!!! Scala Rider G4 getting real close now.

    Too bad they didn't provide an 1/8 inch jack so you could use the speakers/ear buds of your choice. I think it's a significant design flaw. Otherwise I like everything I have read about the Scala G4. My 2 cents.

    Anyone ride the 07 and 08 FJRs?

    ugar-6, Are you getting the 4 year YES with the 07? Is this from a dealer or private party? I got lucky and scored my 08 with 3250 miles for 9k back in December. I haven't seen anything close since then. Having had both I would be inclined to wait for the right deal on a 08. Good luck!
