Blade Back End?

[seb421]

Has anybody done a Firestorm with a CBR back end? ive seen plenty of R1's Done but the only CBR i recall on a Firestorm is this mock-up

[marravtr]

now why cant honda bring that out

[Jbrebel]

Dont think its possible to fit a pro link back end like that on a storm seb.

IIRC the storms engine acts as a stressed member/mount for the standard swing arm. That particular swing arm just wouldnt fit and would be far too complex.

I might be wrong like-I ride a tractor now -but Im sure someone will be along to give you the full SP as soon as

[Jbrebel]

Oh, it does look well though

I'd camp outside the Honda shop to get my name down for one of those beauties....or become camp........or something!!!!hehe

If only Mr Honda would ever attempt such a venture..Great piccy Seb......I've printed it off to replace Lucy Pinder in the office. I'm sure she'll be gutted!!!

[Jbrebel]

anything can be made to fit, all you need is a hacksaw, a welder, a big hammer and an assortment of washers.

[Ernie Cooley]

That is what I based my paint job on when I had the storm done.

My effort:



Now for sale in Earnshaws in udders field after I traded it for the blade.

as far as i'm aware Honda was going to release this in 2007

but it was dropped

i have seen another picture of this bike showing a different angle, the swing arm is still mounted as before through the engine.

I wonder why it wasn't released? i was told it that the bike would have been 1200cc also?

Because it would have pissed on blade sales?

Good point Tony.

A tank and seat with no crappy gaps.

Would like to know where that pipe goes

Not that pic again, been on here loads of times. It's a photoshop job done for a magazine, it's never existed in real life.

It still looks good Rich IMHO

[Jbrebel]

Agreed Chris

Regardless all i was asking was had any body actually done this, as i had only seen it on this mock up.

Jesus some people!

so has any one seen a firestorm with a blade tail, other than this mock up?

my thoughts exactly timbo
