Blackbird Cans Autopsy!

Just what is this all about? Well it seemed that there was demand to know what exactly is in a Blackbird can, and whether it is possible to drill it out to make the cans a bit louder. We’ve had members enquiring and here it is, courtesy of John (Site Co-Owner) who put the following pages together! Click on the link below!

Honk Kong Nick’s XX!

Having had a few unfortunate mishaps on his bird, by blind car drivers and various episodes of misfortune, Nick (a British policeman working on Hong Kong) decided to do for a full on, ‘balls out’ Valentino Rossi paint job, polished rims and various other tasteful touches to make his bike come back on the road with vengeance!! Here are 4 photo’s to give you the idea of what a superb machine it looks like now! He sent us about 25 pictures in total, but naturally we could not publish them all here, after a look through they all kinda looked the same, so here are 4 pictures for you!

Bryant Kleinfeldt’s Blackbird Modifications!

 

Bryant was kind enough to send IXXRA full details and pictures of his modified Blackbird. The details are as follows:

 

“My 1997 XX. All bodywork is by Sebimoto (Carbon Fibre, race quality-definitely not OEM quality). Headlight is a single H4 bulb in a 4" round assembly manufactured - designed by Yoyodine Ti. K&N air filter, Dynojet jet kit, Erion 4-1 Race Exhaust System. Ermax rear indicators. License plate lights are hard to see but in dark rear shots you can see tiny bits of light coming from the 2 upper plate bolts. these actually provide just enough light to see at night ($25 approx from summitt racing . com). Taillights are also wired into an Integrator unit ( turns dual tail lights into turn signals and flashes brake lights under use). I went with a Travelcade Gel seat rather than race foam (every little bit of comfort helps). I can't remember if my adjustable ignition advancer is Factory-Dynojet-Vance & Hines...The bike was recently dyno'd @ 144hp @ 170mph. I haven't had the torque checked yet. Before all the work was done, dyno read 128hp.Graphics were done by Tapeworks.com . The license plate bracket was made by Twochicks.com & reads: ENGAGE LUDICROUS SPEED. The Double Bubble windscreen is a dark smoke model by Zero Gravity. The foot pegs half tank protector & carbon fibre yoke protector are by LP USA. I hope you all like the new bird, now if I can just find a reasonably priced turbo unit...hmmmmmm.... “

Arno Steeman’s XX Hybrid!

IXXRA member, Arno Steeman from Holland was kind enough to send me pictures of his truly outstanding 1998 Blackbird. He has worked tirelessly getting the bike to look that little bit special, following an accident on the bike caused by a dog! Modifications include special paint, an R1 rear end and a Ducati 916 exhaust system just to name a few. The attention to detail is magnificent! This bike look great and is a superb example of work that has been carried out to perfection Click on the links below to view the pictures!

Uniquely Modified Blackbird (UK)

Whilst Jaws was at Great Yarmouth, in England he came across this fantastically modified Blackbird. it is owned by a guy called Jack who is not on the net as present. Yes, “The bike that Jack built!” It is indeed the type of bird you cannot really appreciate until you get a close look at it and appreciate the hard work that went into modifying it and getting it to totally stand out from the crowd. No short cuts have been taken with the quality of work that has went into this beast

Over to Jaws to give you the low-down on just some of the modifications that have been made to what is a truly outstanding example……

 

“The arse end is 100% Honda VTR1000, including the sub frame. The owner made the swinging arm himself, which is some 2 inches shorter than standard, (note the upper brace) and gold wheels All the pipe work for the exhaust he made himself, and the cans are again from a Honda VTR1000. Standard forks, completely unmodified. The paint work is done by himself too, including a detail that I forgot to get a picture of. He smoothed off all the black dash surrounds and tank trims that go all the way down and painted them in such a way to make them look just like carbon fibre. He even cuts his own decals from what I could make out. The tyres are Dunlop D207 race replicas”

Mike Stevenson’s XX

We got these pictures from Mike Stevenson in Ohio, USA. His bike has a nice ‘chromaflex’ paint job, and has DeltaGFX clocks plates fitted. Note that the needles have not been painted as yet. Anyway enjoy the pictures and here’s a few words from Mike…. “I have a 99' XX I got in March of 2000 and have been updating it sinc.  I liked the orginal black paint but had a friend that works in a Ford dealership in a paint booth and he did my paint work for me. It changes color from a  purple too a green depending where you stand.  I heard the sound files on you site and decided to order a set of Blue Flames. Just installed the new guage faces from Delta GFX and they look great!!       Here are some pics of my custom painted XX.   Since I took these pics of the bike I have polished both side covers and the foot pegs and the rear foot pegs, not much else do do in Ohio in the winter.  Also I have just sent my wheels out to have them chromed and I will send more pics when I get them back.”

      Blackbird Sound Files

This section  has Blackbird sounds equipped with various exhaust systems. It will give you a fair idea on  what type of sounds to expect from various aftermarket exhaust systems available, should it  be a dual exit system or the more popular single-sided system.

 

All files will play OK with Windows Media Player, once unzipped.

 

SeaJay’s MP3 Sound Files…

“The dual/single test was done using the incredibly technologically advanced technique of covering one of the pipes with a wadded up towel in my hand.  I covered one pipe and then removed the covering to achieve the desired results.  Believe it or not, this is actually a pretty accurate portrayal of the single vs. dual comparison, as I have heard single sided pipes like Erion and Akropovich side by side and next to my 'Bird.  In fact, TBR used to sell a single sided slip-on system where there was simply a "plug" where the old left side pipe used to be.  Also remember that there is a collector,  which means that there is a place where the pipes come together, and it simply makes sense that plugging one pipe gets the "single sided" sound quite accurately.

I hope that helps someone looking for aftermarket pipes”
