a Mini-Disk Player with handlebar mounted remote control. I
have the Mini Disk Player mounted on the dash (the Givi shield gives
me some extra room between the gauges and the shield) in a neoprene
pouch designed to hold a walk-man type tape player. It's hard-wired to
the bike's electrical system for power when the ignition is
"on". The remote is also hardwired to the unit and mounted
on the left handlebar. The headphone output from the unit is wired to
a headphone extension cable which is stored under the seat when not in
use. When in use, I run the cable between the seat & tank and plug
in the headphones (which are in the helmet). I have a
"Communicator" on the helmet which accepts a music input
source, and amplifies it. I connect it to this for now, but I have
plans to install the Honda-line CB Radio (originally designed for the
Valkyrie), which also accepts a music input source, and uses J & M
Headsets. I will then connect the Mini Disk player permanently to the
CB Radio so both CB & Music will be delivered through the headset.
I have used CD Players in the past, but the Mini Disk performs WAY
BETTER. No skipping, smaller size, easy access to change disks-even
while riding (at your own risk).

"Man I thought I could ride the bike long distance before, you can now ride for days
straight and hundreds of miles and feel nothing I am in love all over again."

changed head bearings to roller type.... they are much

those of us that prefer to ride on one wheel!!
readjust airscrews on the carbs and shimmed up needles up a bit,

Carb. adjustments I've made so far: I've replaced the stock washer under the needle with 2 brass #4 washers, available at Orchard Supply (osh # 9081746) (or any reasonable hardware store) having a combined thickness of a little more than 1mm. The stock washer has a thickness of just under .5mm, measured on my vernier caliper. I dressed the washers on a sheet of 300 grit wet/dry paper laied on a flat surface to remove burrs and ensure uniform thickness. This, in combination with the K&N filter, provide creamy throttle response from idle to 7k rpm. I haven't wound it out yet (where can I do that?) so I don't know how it runs to redline. Not bad, for a $75 filter and 39 cents worth of brass washers. Oh, yes, I'm working with a California spec. bike.

Comments:
I've no RWHP ot T figures to give you for comparison, but can tell you it out accelerates stock \'02 & \'03 YZF-R1s, is easier to get off the line due to its increased wheelbase, and has a higher top speed.....with an old 67 year old fart under the paint.
Such a great sportbike that can be used for limited touring (at least as far as I\'m concerned). Very good passenger comfort. Still runs like a spotted ape with 2-up.

ZERO GRAVITY Sport Touring Windscreen, Smoke color (part #
12-425-02). In addition, I've added some Saeng/TA "Stealth
Edging" to further reduce the wind noise
raised handlebars about 3/4" just by unscrewing the main hex
bolt on the "riser" and sliding it up, the re-tightening the
bolt. This helps keep the weight off my hands due to my 6'2"
frame, plus it's cheaper than getting the $130+ Heli-Bar riser.
I've replaced the stock handgrips with some inexpensive
thicker foam grips,
Vista Cruise throttle lock by making one or two modifications to the
existing design.
TourMaster TB-17 Tail Bag and the TB-12 Magnetic Tank Bag. These are
very good investments for the 'touring' part of the Blackbird.
TWO BROTHER'S C-5 Oval Titanium slip-on's. "This has been
the best modification to my bike yet. The sound is AWESOME, it adds
more horsepower in the high-end (I can actually get the front end to
lurch from 4-5-6 gears). Plus, these pipes deleted 15 pounds off the
bike - handles a little better now, not to mention the color goes
excellently with the Titanium color of the bike. Overall, I'm VERY
pleased with the pipes."
And last, not really a "modification," but I got a
personalized license plate which says "FIRFX." This is in
reference to the 1980's movie starring Clint Eastwood where he steals
the Russian plane, the MiG-31/Firefox. In the movie, it's the fastest
plane in the world with some very interesting technology. All the
other good ones, BLKBD - SR-71 - DBL X, were taken here in Arizona.
Hot Grips heated hand grips
modified license plate by removing the license plate light/mount,
drilled two holes in the plastic and moved the license plate flush
with the bottom of the red reflector. "I did this because no one
makes a good fender eliminator kit for our bike yet".
With the remaining wire from the license plate light, I've modified
a car cigarette lighter AC/DC adapter to power my CD player in my tank
bag, which I have hooked up to my HJC-FRS Chatterbox communication
system

The result is 139 brake hp on the Factorypro Eddy current dyno.
That's about 149 on a Dynojet 150 model. Best quarter mile time
(uncorrected) is 10.18@137.1mph.
Corrected was 10.07@138.5.
The stock clutch is extremely grabby above 4000rpm from a dead
stop. Future mods include a MRE lock-up clutch so I can run
softer springs to hopefully smooth out the launches for the dragstrip,
aftermarket rear shock, and Yoshimura camshafts. I intend to
surprise quite a few Suzuki 1300 Hayabusa owners. Bike has 12,300 miles
and over 120 dragstrip runs with zero failures (not even a burned out
light bulb).

Comment:
This is the best all around motorcycle I have owned (14 to date) It is
between an 929 and ST1100 It has so much torque I went UP on the
countershaft sprocket. The reason for this is when I run the Interstates
at 80 mph she is only turning 4500 rpm. this is without sacrificing low
end. In first gear I can whack the throttle at 5000 rpm. and she will
stand up the tires are the best I've ever had on this bike. However I am
going to try those Bridgestone BT-20s. I also enjoy the long rides (500 +
miles a day) thanks to the Heli Bars And the Givi windshield.

and the PGMFI has enough variance to adjust the fuel mixture so you do not
have to add a power commander to the bike.
It is a simple way to add power to this beauty without compromising
reliability or having to constantly mess with tuning...and it sounds
awesome!"

Corbin seat
Helibars
His opinion about the seat: "The Corbin has been great! My wife likes
to ride on back sometimes and the stock seat made her slide forwards all
the time. The Corbin is far more comfortable and cured this problem".
