different fairings
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.

Rightey........................with everyone and there granny getting SP1's these days

Wooooaaa there.. The work of art that is the SP1/SP2 is not bought by grannies
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
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

Whit a load o mince
....................................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 ?
