I have a pair of lowers, I think, so would be able to sell those for you to recondition then swap your own stanchions into. That would have to be a sell, though, sorry to be mercenary but billy payment comes a-knockin' . :thumbdown: If you're interested let me know and I can dig them out, and send ...

Stole an oil filter? Why'd someone do that?
Wouldn't an alarm be better than a camera.

You're not wrong of course. I did actually ask the guy, albeit by email, about the condition. I'm putting it down to experience ..... a not so good one. I have to re adjust my expectations I have to remember that I did actually buy the Firestorm as a sacrificial bike to run throught he winter. I jus...

Don't buy from ebay .... I always get let down. So unhappy about that. You can pull apart a Firestorm headlight. Apply heat to the joint and it will release. You can polish out major scratches and accident damage from plastic lenses. The unit I bought had the corner ground down during an accident .....

Oh dear- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/99-HONDA-VTR-1000-FIRESTROM-HEAD-LIGHT-/260684871314?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3cb2077692#ht_1047wt_905 Don't do that! Typical, these things are like buses ... they're turning up everywhere now I've bought one. Strangely that one didn't come up from my search.

Bought a headlight on ebay yesterday. Looked good in the pic .... 75 notes .... hope it's OK. Soon find out I s'pose

Funny cos shortly after I committed a brand new one turned up .... I hope that don't sell for less

Seriously, if we go nuts out there I guess we should expect to be become targets. I'm all for blowin' off steam but there is a time and place. Sermon over. Going for a blast in the sun

Good work Wicky. Thanks for that.

Each to their own hey? Not something I'd ever aspire to. Those things are great for the open roads of the good ol' US of A. Jeans, leather and bandana .... camo and a Simpson stylee lid ... naaaagh, I don't think so. Maybe if he was 18. But whatever floats you're boat .... bet he was happy and that'...

M8 ... knee won't bend properly? It should have better articulation than the mark 1 knee. My pal got full movement in his but did have to go through a lot pain and physio to achieve it.

Did we ever establish if the OEM lines could be replaced with something different. The OEM's are £60 a pop ... no appetite for that.

Ummmm those are actually what I'm trying to get rid of

Those panniers are wee bit much for splitting commuter traffic. I've discovered that the back of the pannier (they sit at an angle) is essentially just below door mirror height on a lot of cars. If you are required to fiddle aboot trying to get through stationary traffic and have need to grab the fr...
