I've searched for Lucas rearsets on google but nothing comes up, i don't suppose they have a website??

Also, do you have a picture of your home made rearsets ben?

Cheers

I'm looking for some new head bearings for the firestorm and would like to buy them from a bearing shop rather than a honda dealer because of price. I was wondering if anyone knew the dimensions of both sets of bearings. Here is the link for the site i've been looking at some of you might be interes...

These were the ones i was looking at.

Would anybody buy these? I'm rebuilding my forks after getting them powder coated and am a bit put off by the low price. Surely they can't be any worse than the Honda ones?

Does anyone actually make rearsets for firestorms anymore? I can see that Gilles do but they're over £300 which is about £100 more than i wanted to spend. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Normally i wouldn't laugh but That will teach the silly cow, she really does think she's something special in that first pic.

Shame she's dropped a perfectly good R1.

Fair comment, if underseat cans were out of the question what cans would you buy? High level ovals or something like that?

Great, so 7 people have looked at the thread and not one has left a comment.

Top stuff.

I'm trying to work out what exahusts to buy for the naked storm. So far i have come across 2 that i think will give the look i'm after. Basically i wanted to know what people thought. I know which is my favourite but if you could tell me which one you liked it would be a great help. I know they're n...

Hi, i was wondering if Del had any more news on the tensioners he was working on? If you do could you post it here? In the meantime, i'm looking at getting some of the manualls adjustable ones but have one question. How do you know how tight they need to be without seeing how much tension is being ...

Right after some thinking and talking to various people i've decided against a single firestorm rad under the seat and decided to try my hand at one single rad up front like stormcrashers bike and the remaining firestorm rad under the seat with the fan fitted. Obviously the rear cowling will need so...

After talking to stormsmasher on here i've been thinking about using a modified firestorm radiator with the fan and fitting them both under the seat. Like i've said before, i don't know how well the pump will handle this or how easy it is to get the cowlings looking right but apart from fabricating ...

Right after looking at that and talking with my mate who is going to help me with the rebuild we've decided to give it a shot. I'm on a budget so it's going to take a few months to complete, the aim is to get the bike finished by mid june ready for the good weather. I should have the powder coated f...
