    Blackwing emblem

    We picked up our car 2 weeks ago. I contacted customer care a few days later and they told me a badge would be sent by Fedex within 3-4 weeks. Fingers crossed...

    I had my new 5BW shipped to me. What did I miss at the dealer?

    I think this was one of the longer (and good) discussions about the filter. Just like any thread you have to read through the good, the bad and the ugly! https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-general-discussion/4011769-mobil-1-oil-filter-vs-ac-delco-5.html I saw you mention the battery...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    That does sound like a good discussion! Ours hasn't been so kind and has stranded us a couple of times. Luckily we have AAA since we have several older rides! I bought a new truck last year and purposefully got a pretty base 4x4 diesel so I wouldn't baby it so much...but now I won't even...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    We have a 1990 Land Cruiser that we bought for $2500 to use for hauling the dogs, winter driving and parking anywhere we're concerned with damage. It was full of rust (why we got it so cheap) and I repaired that, but the value keeps going up on the thing, so now we need a new beater so we can...

    I had my new 5BW shipped to me. What did I miss at the dealer?

    Congrats on the new BW! Doublecheck on the PF64R filter. The manual calls for the PF64 (as did the Z06) and I remember there being a huge discussion on the corvette forum about the differences in the 2 filters. A main difference was the bypass pressure being considerably different between the...

    New 5 BW now in the garage!

    Look at this super clean little time machine that just showed up on a Facebook bike group for sale. I love these little 4 cylinder Hondas! https://m.facebook.com/groups/hondacb400four/permalink/10158753151426207/

    New 5 BW now in the garage!

    Cool bikes CBH!! I've always wanted to build a big chopper but have never gotten around to actually doing it! Some day! I've always enjoyed working on my stuff, almost as much as riding/driving it! Sometimes the issues they bring can be frustrating to figure out, but I guess that's part of...

    New 5 BW now in the garage!

    Luckily we have some great backroads in our area, so it's nice (especially on the Aprilia) that you can go out for an hour ride with very little low speed and stopping - that really beats me up on the sport bikes these days! It's a real shame we can't go back in time and keep the vehicles we...

    CT5-V Blendmount and mirror tap?

    I just used the Gen5diy harness to get power for my detector. It's super nice and plug n play. They didn't have our cars listed so I contacted them to be sure. https://www.gen5diy.com/collections/cadillac-xt5-p-p-harness/products/17-21-xt5-radar-detector-harness

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Just installed a wiring harness from Gen5diy for my radar detector and got a set of the leave on jacking points from ZL1 Addons that'll go on later today.

    New 5 BW now in the garage!

    The little RZ is the most fun bike I've had in years! The 2 stroke sound, crazy revs and smoke really makes it a blast! Your brother doesn't happen to live in WV does he? That's where I bought the Aprilia in 2016 and the color is pretty rare - supposedly they only made 200 of them. I...

    Anyone get their Blackwing badge yet? And are you putting it on?

    Completely agree! I sacrifice a lot in many aspects of life in order to have what I truly enjoy.

    New 5 BW now in the garage!

    Thanks! It was a lot of fun, but even though I’ve been riding 50 years (started when I was 6), I never could retrain my brain to the controls. Great looking CVO too! Would love to see the bobber sometime! I still have a ‘75 CB125S that I got new when I was a kid. It sat since the mid ‘80’s...

    New 5 BW now in the garage!

    That is a great color!! We just continue to have more things in common (beyond Trophy Blue Corvettes)! I’m a bit of a bike addict too - here’s a shot of my Ultra. The color isn’t nearly as cool as yours!! Recently sold a ‘41 Knucklehead. Sadly the original powertrain was long gone and the...

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2023 Model Year

    They're still hit and miss whether it has it or not. Mine didn't but the other one right next to it in the showroom did. I sent Cadillac a message and they said I'd have it within 3 weeks...

    Thanks, we'll take you up on it next time! Wish we could have stuck around longer to sight see some, but the snow was coming in and we decided to beat it out of town quickly!

    5 BW Indoor Car Cover?

    Thanks jbawden that looks like a good fit for what I need. I mainly want dust protection, but our 2 GSD's like to get a little bit crazy with each other when going through the garage (they always think they're going for a ride) and will often body check each other into the front of the car...
