Big bird
Thought I'd start a thread for it as I do suffer with OCMD so it'll get stripped and rebuilt most weekends !.
So here she is - 1998 carb blackbird , a little scruffy but with only 32k I should get over 150k from it without issues :-) .
Mods so far -
Viper cans ,
Bubble screen ,
Hid dip light ,
6mm shock spacer ,
Injection s/shaders .
Planned mods
Full akrapovic,
Nitron shock,
Fork springs ,
K&n Dyno jets and set up .
Comfortable seat .
Projectors for dip and main ,

Re: Big bird

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
