Bought a firestorm again yesterday :beer: will throw some pictures up later. Firestorm number 4

Havn't been able to get on with riding an RSV.

You'll probably hear a bit more of me again now!

My new storm. Pretty happy with it. Just had a pretty tidy respray, armstrong disks, cbr600 calipers and leo vince cans. Need to get it set up like my last one; cbr900 front end , danmoto rearsets and a new shock then I'll be happy.

I've really missed having a storm! ( and using this forum). It has got a lot less poke than my RSV but is somehow more fun to ride

Started on the Custard repair...

Took the fairing off replaced the L/H indi, drilled, dremeled, plas welded & glass fibered the crack...

Cleaned up with a file the rough gouges on the bar end weight & the clutch lever, gave them both a spray up.

Franks let me down on the clip on front, could have sworn he had a L/H clip on & or a R/H one. Not sure if the clip on is bent but the inner weight has snapped so cant screw the end weight on...

So if anyone has a spare clip on floating about L or R as I may only need the inner weight please let me know...

That's because it's more useable then the rsv . I like everything about the rsv but I'd still rather have the Vtr
