Hello, Just thought I would share this....
I have a much loved 2002 Blackbird which after a small accident at Cadwell Park back in 2011 (not on the BB) had to have a flat bar conversion as my left wrist no longer supports the standard riding position!
We bought the flat bar conversion kit from jaws and after some buggering about got it fitted and have been using it ever since.
I have always wanted to fit some USD forks and have seen that some Hyabusa conversions have been done although I never really liked the fact that this meant machining bearings and a bit of bodged up ignition and steering lock.
After poking around on the web for what seemed an eternity I found a guy who made me some billet yokes to take a full busa conversion but retain all the orginal BB stuff.
On eBay I found a set of 2015 forks, wheel and mudguard and managed to get some original Brembo callipers form a breakers. There's a lot left to do yet but I dry fitted it all the other day and it looks great.
I think when the wheel (it's not an exact match but is three spoke) and the mudguard are painted and the new brake lines are in its gonna look the DB's.
I'll post some more pic's as I go along.
I can't speak highly enough of Roy from Billet Bike Bits http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Blackbird-Billet-Fork-Yoke-conversion-for-Hayabusa-TL1000-etc-forks-/331729784004
Whether you want a flat bar conversion or not I'm sure that he could sort something.
Yes I know the bike is filthy, it gets ridden.
Hope this is helpful to someone out there.
