Default FS: 98 Honda Blackbird 1100XX

What I have is a 1998 Honda Blackbird CBR1100XX. I bought it from a kid in Arizona 4 years ago. With nothing but a frame, engine and two wheels. I spent the first several years piecing it back together. Here is what I’ve done to it.
1) Painted Pegan Gold (house of kolor paint) Candied with rootbeer candied flames which has been marblized.
2) Hand polished the frame
3) K&N filter with stage 1 jet kit
4) 4-2-1 Yoshi carbon exhaust
5) Aluminum mesh in all holes
6) Carbon hugger
7) Carbon engine case covers
8) Perimeter alarm with anti hijack
9) Recovered seat with extra foam (very comfy)
10) Gilles rear sets
11) Cruise control
12) GPS mount

This bike is super reliable. I drove it to Kingman Arizona 3 summers ago from Gillette Wyoming. My brother and I rode through Route 66, Oatman, Jerome, Route 83 if anyone is aware of that area. Never had a bobble one bit. Enough power for anyone plus is comfy enough to go long distances. Its been my daily driver for the past 3 years with nothing but oil changes, filter cleaning and new tires. Its won several auto shows in my area.

No engine mods done to it since it was dyno’d at 136 horsepower already.

Say what you want, I take criticism very well.

Asking $6000 for it, has 19k miles, maintained by myself so I know everything was done right.

Why am I not surprised somebody from Gillette owns something like that.

I just like to be a little different than the rest. I believe I rank a little higher than the average Gillette individual.
First, I'm not on Meth.
Second, I'm not a drunk.
Third I don't beat my wife,
and finally I DON'T own a Harley.

So, I consider myself pretty normal.

I let my wife pick out the colors of the seat since she rides with me. Its better in person, in the pictures it looks pink I know.
