different fairings

Post by yorkylancs »

Hi all,anyone ever seen a storm with a different fairing on.Am toying with the idea of fitting something different,maybe SP1/2,or owt else that might look good,with the slim engine,the swap should be easyish,but am looking for inspiration,any links or pics would be helpful.Cheers

That's one of the appeals of the firestorm, there's loads that you can do to it.
Not at those prices there ain't :eek2

:D Cheers everyone for the replies,pick of the bunch has to be the RRV fairing,the 954 doesnt look as good,although i have 954 forks fitted to mine,and that might help with any clearence issues.What year is the rrv,so i can get looking on ebay,will be leaving it to winter tho,weather to good at mo.Sirch did marlboroman ever finish his,its just that the tale seems to end,without any finished pics...Cheers all.Yorky.

Rightey........................with everyone and there granny getting SP1's these days :wink: ,there's no need for Firestorm owners to feel left out when you can buy an SP1 lookalike fairing , custom made to fit a Firestorm , for 351 euros :)

I wonder if i could fit one to my 1200 Bandit , as i'm feelin left out :( :lol:

Wooooaaa there.. The work of art that is the SP1/SP2 is not bought by grannies :eek2 When I was looking there were 3 total for sale in the UK! Luckily enough for me there was a very good one within 55 miles 8) Dont go fitting look a likey fairings to what is already a great bike. The Storm is a Storm the SP is an SP. Just my opinion :D

Whit a load o mince 8O

....................................i'd say most the main reason of people who buy a large capacity bike, buy it for the characteristics of the engine fitted to that particular model , so in that case the firestorm engine is the "jewel in the crown" of the bike :!:

The engine is the heart and s..s..s..s....."soul" (oops ,i said the S word) of the Firestorm ,so it's up to the individual if they want to change the bodywork a bit .

Anyway......i've got a ferry to catch ,..did i mention i was going to Ireland today ? :wink:
