I'm having a similar dilemma. Kreiger manuals were fit last year (by mechanic not me). Felt there was a bit of a rattle yesterday so thought I would investigate the CCT. Read they should be tightened finger tight then released 1/4 turn. My rear was way 'looser' than this and required turning in seve...

Where are you guys ordering the Krieger ones from? They're on ebay for $60 plus shipping, I assume these are from Mark at Krieger and the correct ones for UK Firestorm.

Part hasn't arrived yet, so decided to have a go at a diy fix. Drilled it and put the rubber on a bolt and tbh looks alright. Is there anything I can do/use to stop the nut working loose like a Loctite product?

Thanks for the replies. Bit the bullet and ordered one from David Silver for £26 plus VAT Just thought super glue wouldn't hold it therefore new one required!!

Anyone know if the SP1/SP2 or other Honda bike gear lever will fit the Firestorm. Mines a 1998. Seen a SP1 gear change assembly on fleabay which looks similar.

Hi Peter I've added some pics (I think). You can see where I've removed the lug between the banjo and the black sleeve. Obviously this pic is taken looking down from above it. Is this what other folks have done or was there a better way? Changed front pads for EBC sintered. Seem quite sensitive. Bra...

You've let me down you lot - 2 hrs and no reply. Anyone would think you've jobs to go to :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Anyway, sorted it. Decided to remove the lug/tab which was restricting it and it looks good. :wink: :wink: Ps I'm in my 3rd week of 'gardening leave'. Resigned 3 weeks ago and was sent ho...

Guys, can any explain or post a pic showing how they have routed the rear hose. Can't seem to get it right without it looping up and looking a dog's dinner.

Doing it now, so a reply in the next 10 mins would be great
