The 2001 model was indeed the only main revision in the Firestorms history, besides the larger tank the graphics changed and the Frirestoem logo moved from the tank to the fairing, it got new clocks and revised for internals. I seem to remember some bikes round about that time hav...

Mods to get it to fit are not particularly difficult or expensive

Try John Carrs at Somercotes, free fitting to loose wheels, He told me he would match any tyre price, its worth the price of a phone call

I was looking at your instrument panel (oo'er missus) and was hoping the rider would appear so i could ask questions how difficult are they to fit if your electronically illiterate? Nice bike by the way

ps Ill give you a tenner for them

hmmm interesting not sure what colour dot mine have. imho even if i knew for sure they were the latest gen i would still do the failsafe mod that i have done to these just for peace of mind. only adds 10 mins on the whole job. nowt like belt and braces and i can ride carefree lol. regard mark :bigg...

This is the answer to a question i asked someone who was selling some manual cct's that he had replaced with Generation 3's, Your views? Simple, gen 1s broke, honda released gen2's they still broke and now we are at gen 3, make sure its the new part number, gen3s work, no knowen faults with gen 3s, ...
