At the can end, there is a "snorkel"....drill in the space between the snorkel and the outer pipe.

Re the MOT...I am going to get a plate made (like a large washer) that fills the space in again (to be held in with 2 self-tapping screws). This will return it to stock

The later Storms appear to have a bigger R/R fitted with cooling fins.

Do these still blow and should be replaced with a Yam one (preventative maintenance....mine is OK at the mo)?

Yeah...I live in Morecambe.....Might be up for that meet at the end of the month!

Glad you got that sorted out, sounds like the dealer was fair about it but they should have picked it up before they sold it, should they not? Also, could have given you probs later when you came to unload it. You defo did the right thing. Not so sure on your choice of colour for the replacement bi...

FWIW, now that the money is back in my sweaty hands....the dealer in question was Blackpool Honda. To be fair, once i raised the issue, they offered a refund there and then. I have noticed that it is still listed as a 2003 bike on their webpage though....... (Reg number PJ03 UDU). Anyway...today I h...

They have agreed a full refund...i wouldn't mind but they have a X reg for sale for £2694....... might have considered that one instead....

Cheers mate....deffo made my mind up to take it back earlier on.........am very pee'd off though....

Thanks for the welcome guys.... However a problem has developed...... Was sorting insurance out and queried why the bike had no HISS security (everything I read was that this was fitted as standard after 2001). Rang Honda UK and they said that they had no record of a Firestorm with that reg plate. S...
