Finally finished!

[tiggerii]

It's taken 3 years but I finally have got my bike exactly how I want it. Having started with a 2000 model Firestorm I've added:

Hyperpro Fork Springs
Whitepower Rear Shock
Remus Titanium Exhausts
Renthal chain and sprockets
Braided lines and EBC pads
Carbon-Fibre look Belly Pan, Hugger, Mirrors (with built-in indicators)
Corbin copy seat

Now all I have to do is wrap it up carefully and look forward to next year.

Very nice , its looking good

[Wicky]

Very tastefully done and the best colour!

Do you have the hassle of reverting to the standard exhaust system at MOT time? or is it just the cans and connectors?

Have your swing arm caps gone awol?

[RedStormV]

Nice, you forgot a bit though .........

Nice NWS grab rail - IMO much better looking than the Renntec one.

Add a level profile pic too to show just how good it looks.

IMO looks like it came as standard kit, unforunately the Renntec just doesn't

I like the Corbin copy too - how much? where from?

Are those bungs actually going to do anything if it were to fall?

A nice set of R&G's would just finish it off nice.

Looking good

Like the mirrors do you have a shot of them from the front?????

[tiggerii]

Thanks for your appreciations. To answer your questions:

The swinging arm caps are back on now, I forgot to put them on after I'd finished cleaning and took the bike off its NWS stand.

The Remus cans are properly E marked and not too loud, I'm sure they will be OK for the MoT but haven't had to try yet.

The small bobbins did save me a lot of damage in a low speed off in a slippery car park but I wouldn't expect them to help in a big off.

The seat was done by http://www.motorbike-seats.co.uk/ I can't recommend Melvin highly enough. His workmanship is first class and the seat cost £240 including a Gel insert and postage.

Sorry I haven't got a head on shot showing the indicators, I'll try and take a picture at the weekend and post it.

try going specsavers

the bikes looking good. the trojan mirrors set it off nicely!

my heel plates would look good on it tho

[smf_12]

who do people have 2 sets of indys on the front?

I dont like it

Love the single sided swing arm tho

who do people have 2 sets of indys on the front?

Plus anything that makes you more visible when Mr and Mrs Magoo are out for a Sunday drive is always a good idea.

I second that

Nice job tiggerii and in the best colour too

Chris.

bit of fibregralss sort out the holes in the panels and the bikes 100x better!

but each to their own i guess :wink2

[bikerpiker]

I like the mirrors with the indicators built in, imo average Joe wouldnt even notice they were indicators unless they were in use, as they look quite discreet compared to the suzukis mirror/'cators in the pic

[tony.mon]

I have the same indicator/mirrors, other way up as mentioned which I prefer.

Also standard indicators replaced with flush ones, which I think looks better but still gives lots to look at for other road users, and can be seen well from the side (i.e when waiting to turn out from tee junctions).

Nice finish Tiggerii. Looking very clean.

[tiggerii]

Well I thought it was finished but I still wasn't happy with the brakes. Mark at Powerlinks serviced for me last week and I'd asked him to overhaul the master cyclinder but he came up with an even better idea. The seal kit for the master cyclinder would be £45 plus labour to fit it but for £135 he supplied a new Nissin Radial Master cylinder.

I now have the most unbelievably sharp brakes, and it really is finished now.

[sirch345]

A nice touch that, the Radial master cylinder
