jroberts427 Posted July 12, 2021 Posted July 12, 2021 Welcome! The Blackbird has always been on my list of "one day I need to get one" bikes. Post up some pics. 👍 Justin Quote
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted July 12, 2021 Member Contributer Posted July 12, 2021 Same here. There's a XX for sale nearby and I'm exercising all my self control to *not* ring the number. We do indeed love pics - both of your 5th gen and 'Bird. Cheers 1 Quote
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted July 12, 2021 Member Contributer Posted July 12, 2021 Welcome!! There's a red injected XX near me too. Fucking killing me. But I would not have the support of the spousal approval authority. Nor do I want to store that bike at this time. I want a friend to buy it, but he's being a pussy. Quote
JimMoore Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 That's the start of a nice collection. Love the Beemer from that year. Quote

zanshen Posted July 16, 2021 Author Posted July 16, 2021 Can someone explain is there a clip that fastens this as it just appeared. Ie fairing slightly separated. Thanks. Quote
Member Contributer Grum Posted July 16, 2021 Member Contributer Posted July 16, 2021 You could compare it to the other side. Guessing the black needs to tuck in between the two tangs of the silver section, locating the silver and black closer together. Remove some of the silver fairing screws, hopefully you should be able to pop the black section into the correct location. Quote

I will loosen the screws and try it. Cheers Quote
