Post by snipper »

Newbie :)

just got rid of me thunderace and got a 2000 firestorm .. i'd never ridden a v twin before so i thought i would add one to my list of bikes owned .

so ... 2000 'w' .. dynojetted ,k&n filter,carbon can co race pipes,braded hoses ect ect kicking out approx 118bhp and very very loud :twisted:

been riding it for about a week now and pleased as punch with it .. pulls like a train and very smooth power delivery ... but must admit not as punchy as i thought it would be .....

thinking of some high level cans for it ... so if any fancies a swap for some mint red cans that are deafening give us a shout :D
