Author Message   Gentleman_jon Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:04 pm:        I just heard that Lil Blackie has been selected to be shown in the Custom Sport Bike Section of the New York International Motorcycle Show at the Javits Center this weekend. I would like to thank all Bad Webbers, and there have been so many of you who have contributed in so many ways to the creation of this bike. This honor, such as it is, is for all of you. Thank you. I will be at the show Saturday, and hope to say hello to anyone who will be at the show.   Aj06bolt12r Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:07 pm:        Congrats!   Brad_buell Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:08 pm:        Great news Jon. Congratulations!!!!!   New12r Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:26 pm:        SWEET!!   Mikexlr650 Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:36 pm:        see you there! congrats   Buelltroll Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:38 pm:        What the hell kinda bars are you running? Are they as uncomfortable as they look? Congrats on the show.   Gentleman_jon Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:43 pm:        Thanks everyone. Troll- The bars are Tomasselli Adjustable Clubman's bars. The are mounted on risers, so they are actually pretty comfortable, even for a senior streetfighter such as myself. They are higher than the Firebolt bars and more forward than the Lightning bars.   Buelltroll Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:47 pm:        Witch ones? the bottom ones look like they would put ALL your weight right on the wrists.   Daves Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:56 pm:        Bet you're glad you got those "bling" levers now! Congrats!   Gentleman_jon Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:58 pm:        Troll - The Tomaselli's that I have are the bottom ones. The trick is in the risers. Here is a shot of the risers being prototyped. I will have final photos shortly. As you can see, the bars are moved up and aft.   Hotdog271 Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:58 pm:        Nice bike, I'll be at the show Friday and look forward to seeing it. what year is the bike?   Gentleman_jon Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 07:00 pm:        Thanks Dave, never would have gotten there without you, that's for doggone sure! The bike is a 2004.   Bads1 Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 07:09 pm:        Hey Jon. CONGRATS to ya!!! Mind me asking how did that come about. Sounds like a great story.   Gentleman_jon Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 07:15 pm:        Dana - It happened so long ago, I really am not sure what started it. If I recall correctly, when they first sent out announcements of the show, they asked for people to send a photo of their bike. I sent in the photo, and forgot all about it until today when they called up to "finalize" arrangements. First I had heard of it.   Bads1 Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 07:18 pm:        Sent a photo to who?????   Gentleman_jon Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 07:22 pm:        Dana - PM sent   Bads1 Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 07:53 pm:        Jon - Back at ya   Spuds Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 09:09 pm:        every time I see a pic of l'il blackie, my pulse quickens.... great looking bike jon, well deserved! congrats, and enjoy the show!

Second, I received the seat and it is in great condition, just as described. Thanks again for offering it up for a fair price, it was the final piece I needed for my lightningbolt conversion. Joe   Discodino Posted on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 01:10 pm:        Sweet and congrats... Would you be at the Ohio IMS on 26-28 January?   Buell4me Posted on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 04:02 pm:        CONGRADS JON!!!! I'LL BE MAKING MY WAY TO THE SHOW ON SUNDAY--I'LL LOOK FOR YA'   Gentleman_jon Posted on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 05:38 pm:        Troll - Here are the new risers - just finished in time for the show. Steve - Look forward to seeing you Sat. Thanks Glitch - MBIV is going to be a lot more fun than the show - great riding and no polishing:-) Dino- Nope, not going to be at the Ohio show. Hoping to make it to homecoming though. Joe - Glad you like the seat and that your conversion is complete. The Lightningbolt is Buell's best looking model, in my opinion:-) Buell 4 - I will be at the show Saturday, Sunday just late in the afternoon just to pick up the bike.
