mdubya look in the bright side..looks like you have owned a Blackbird for a few weeks and the charging system hasn’t failed yet.

Maybe Brunel did get it right on the odd Blackbird.
Well it's got enough service history invoices to choke a donkey, in there somewhere is a replacement regulator......is that the 'fix'?

Hopefully the service history isn’t from a Honda dealer…….. :facepalm:

Yours looks like a carburettor model (??) in which case you needn’t worry about the ‘fix’.

Just keep yourself awake at night worrying about when the charging system will fry itself.

In terms of servicing change the oil and filter and air filter once a year and Chuck a bucket of water over it every other year (whether it needs it or not) and you won’t go far wrong.

No need to panic about the charging system. Mine is still on the original system. No idea what all the fuss is about.

You've purchased a nice example of one of the finest motorcycles ever built. Just in the wrong colour.

Haha, bit of a mix of service history, but every single thing is there! Yep she's a carb model......busting to take it out, bloody holiday getting in the way :angry:

Two much space between your sentence of garbage and 'fact', therefore your answer is null and void and you remain Site Bender.
