Fairing Indicator Covers

Does anyone know where I can get blanking plates for the indicator holes in the front fairing? :?: I got some from HG and also ordered a set from e-bay, both sets are too small even though the HG are Honda 'universal', and the e-bay ones stated Honda Firestorm.

Re: United colours of the 'Storm

Best colour by miles has to be Jerez Blue metallic - or 'teal' to those that don't know better :)

Re: Hi

Hi and welcome,

As Benny says - blue? If it's the same colour as mine (as in my avatar) it is Jerez Blue metallic :thumbup:

Mine is on a 02 plate but is the smaller tank, IMO it is the best colour, looks great with the sun on it. Now get ready for all the red owners comments :lol:

Re: Fuel Consumption

Carb balancing kit from e-bay arrived this morning. :D Seems simple enough :lol: After much fiddling about (why do they put things in the most awkward places :?: ), burning hands and dropping the blanking plug which took about 30 mins and a magnet to retrieve, I got the kit set up. Surprise surprise...

Re: Fuel Consumption

Steve the real question is how many litres did it take to refill the tank? If it only took 8 litres to do 80 miles then there is nothing wrong with the engine/carburation and I'd suggest your fuel sensor is a bit keen. On the other hand, maybe you've got to stop twanging it off the limeter and use ...
