Starter motor vtr or blackbird

[BrianC]

I think I read somewhere that a blackbird starter motor is same as vtr..

Anyone confirm or otherwise?

Many thanks

And early fireblade ones fit .
I keep buying them off ebay for £5

crazy to think vtr starter motors are up for sale for £50+, when as lloydie says you can get the same starter for £5....

Thanks lloydie

When you say early blades which years do you mean?

I actually have a 98 blade lol

Put: starter blackbird as keywords in the Search box

Most +600cc starters on Hondas late 90s/early00s will fit.

This site is a quick reference I've found helpful when cross referencing which starter motors are compatible, I've found a CB500f motor fits too!

*Scroll up to the top for a list, look for the part number AHSMU0095 for all bikes with the same S/M

You can also make an SP1 motor fit- it's only the casting with the bolts that go through to mount it on the engine that are different; the rest of the motor is the same.
Swap the end and shim and away you go. Lots of Honda models will also fit with the same adaptation.
