Thanks for the feedback Kevg! I think I may try adjusting the holes or welding up a few. Bit of a pain and the cans sound great but sometimes too much in town!!

they look similar but only one tube which has lots of holes in it all the way down. I insert the baffle and use screww at opening to secure. The holes are quite big (not small drill holes) and like a cheese grater, they bend slightly.

I got a set of laser oval system cans and recently bought the DB killers to go inside. Reduces the level a tiny bit but still too loud for road. They sound great but would like to be able to reduce for some road use and take out for sunday blast in the middle of the countryside!! Any ideas ...

Cheers for the advice RQ, makes me feel more relaxed with it all

cheers Steve, Chain tension ok - seems normal 30 - 40 mm play cush drive rubbers in good order - not sure about this Chain and sprockets in good order - seem fine plenty of oil in it - just put new filter and 4L of Silkolene Pro 4 10-40w wheel alignment - all ok I bought this bike from Dobles Honda ...

Yes - clunky?

No - not a prob or unusal???

Cheers

The gears on my 2000 W reg firetorm are pretty clunky - 1st to 2nd is to be expected but 3rd 4th 5th etc still feels clunky! Is this ok or should is it the sign of things to come??

Help please!!

Thanks for the tips all of you!

sounds like you have all been having fun and i'm looking forward to contributing more.

Wher is the best place near to london for track days???

I think I may fit a large flashing red light (disguised as a nitros button so it looks cooler) to indicate 'low on fuel'!!!

I think I may raise the bars up for the tour, standard riding position could get a bit painful on a long trip i hear!!

sounds great and thanks for the tip!! Water bottles full of fuel i guess

Best open my own chain of bike only petrol stations every 100miles - could be a winner

cheers cupasoop! I reckon i will be needing another 17litre back pack full of fuel or perhaps convert a top box as an extra fuel tank 8O well it will be worth filling up in the long (or short) run :D Hopefully off to spain in sept with another VTR 98 model and Blackbird soon so will keep you all ...

Hi all!

thanks for the advice, really looking forward to getting my hands on the sexy beast!

Will watch out for the engine braking etc, cheers.

Riding an Africa twin and fazer in the past so this should be fun

Also have a mate who has street fighted his and it rides great

just bought a W reg (2000) firestorm with 12,500miles. Having Scotoiler and dynojet fitted before pickup.

Any suggestions/tips/advice for my first week on this baby? What about tyres?
