Most appreciative of the warm welcome, gentlemen!

Guess I have been on the US Blackbird forum a bit too long; I am not used to pleasent exchanges between XX forum members.... :roll: :wink:
You have some nice mods on your BB, maybe share them here (the pics i mean)
Hmmmmmm.... okay, let's have some fun and test your abilities to spot non-standard components on the Blackbird! Below are 3 photos of my bike taken this past summer.... some mods are obvious and easy to spot, and some may not be. Let's see how many can you all find.... :twisted:

(Click the link below each phot to see the full size version, which should help you see the modifications better).


This photo was taken right before heading to the Utah 1088 Endurance Rally in late June:

Well, first of all, you have been watching the cbr1100xx.org forum for a couple years, so you have an unfair advantage over other forum members.... :nono:

Still.... you missed a lot that I thought you should have gotten....


1. (Galfer) Wave-discs - No. These are ABM rotors from Germany.
2. (Hyperpro) front springs - No.
3. Extra flooding lights - Correct. These are Philips HID Driving Lamps
4. (Clear Alternative) Front lenses - correct.
5. (Unknown) Touring screen - Zero Gravity "Sport-Touring" windscreen
6. Higher clip-ons - correct, these are Heli-Bars
7. Heavier bar-end weights or Travellock - These are Top Gun end weights
8. (Pazzo) levers - Correct
9. Crash mushrooms -Correct, these are from Jaws
10. (Second-look) Tank-bra - ??? No. A Mag-Knight carbon-fiber tank protector
11. Frame-plugs - Correct; these are custom aluminum frame plugs
12. All the luggage, including a (beer-)cooler with hose. Must be fun driving this way - ahem... not beer! That's a water bottle with drinking tube, for running through the Desert West
13. (Sargent) saddle - No
14. Luggage rack - Ventrura rack, specifically.
15. (Wilbers) rear shock - Yes.
16. Stainless steel brake-lines- Spiegler SS lines with black-anodized fittings.
17. Unknown hugger - Red Fox
18. (WR's) rear-set including pillion pegs - ??? No, those are stock Honda rearsets (powerder-coated matte-black)
19. Mounting of pillion pegs made black - same powder-coating job
20. Removal of several reflectors - Correct... because they are gay. :P
21. Non-standard coloured engine-covers (should be black). - No, they shouldn't... those as factory covers, they came on the bike
22. (Micron) exhausts - Heavens, no! These are Erion Racing slip-ons!
23. Non-standard air valves in the rims (how do you call these in English?) - valve cover "caps" is how they are referred to in English

25. Several stuff in the cockpit, not too well visible. Some GPS and radardetector? - Correct.
26. Mirror-spacers - No. Had them, but removed them.
27. Non-standard tyres - Avon Azaro ST 45/46 combo
28. Something mounted just above the headlight. For the radar-detector? - No... that's a good luck charm.
29. Non-standard grips - BMW sport grips

You must think better of my memory than I do.....
I didn't remember any item from the other forum on your bike. Yes I did see some products coming by on that forum, and I do remember you using these extra headlights, but that's about it....
Several items I gambled upon, some were correct, some were wrong....
There is just too much for sale for this bike..... :lol:
