Re: me not like
Can't possibly comment, as you haven't put the link to the bike......
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

My 2pence worth
Apart from the fairing being trimmed a little there's nothing there to stop it being put back to original spec. A lot of the original parts are included in the sale too. I agree not to everyone's taste, but there are some on this site who have a flat bar style handlebar set-up. In some cases this option is preferred rather than having to replace the Storm with a more retro style inline four, when the body dictates a kinder riding position

Well,if like me, you love the Firestorm and are getting into your late 50's and feeling stiff etc in your shoulders i think it's a good option and still probably cheaper than changing bikes.

Bars OK, but a tad high IMHO. Mirrors are shite.
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

mirrors may look bad but I guarantee they are functional. With the stock mirrors I could never see behind me. I never felt comfortable with the mirrors. I also like my Mirrors to move with the bars kinda helps you look around. As for the bars, I'm 23 and it hurt my back wrists and shoulders and I was about to drop 500$ on bar risers, but I decided I disnt want to put any money into it and sold. I do miss that engine though. Best part of the bike. Sounded so alive!!!!
