My new firestorm!!

Sparks · Post by **Sparks** » Sun Jun 15, 2008 11:28 am

Bought this a couple of days ago

Loving it so far. Loud as fook and pretty fast... very fun to ride... and looks the best in red

Got quite a bit planned for it, nothing special though I guess, just the usual.. pyramid belly pan in red, red undertray, smaller indicators, radial front master and gsxr calipers, re-worked forks at some point etc etc... for now I'm just having some fun riding it as it is

p.s red ones are the fastest

Alright Tom didn't know you was on here

Given it a good clean, polish and metal polish up since you saw it, shined up REAL good, then I got caught in the rain this evening

Pictures? I can't do things like post pictures on the internet. I have pictures on my computer but with my technical knowledge I think that's where they are staying

Red is great Sparks............................. for the Ducati behind your VTR.

Yellow is the most popular. I mean even your rear damper spring is yellow FFS!!!

Black is by far the fastest, everyone with a black one knows that lol.

Picked it up from Reading, so not too far from Portsmouth really. Paid Â£1870 for it with 12k miles on the clock and got the standard cans and a optimate 3 with it... not too bad a price I guess.. it was more than my budget but it was a really nice bike and I was getting desperate for a storm

Red is definetly the best colour though, matches my other bike

Sparks you are a lucky man. I had to lose my Storm to get the Blade cant have both at the moment. Agree, red is best and white and bluey purpley porn shades....

Best colour too

Just got 77 miles until the reserve light came on

Since getting it I thought the brakes sucked, so just re-bled them all and wow they aren't bad for a standard set of brakes

Next up is to re-bleed the clutch and an oil/filter change

APE CCT's when money allows (sooner the better, altho no rattles yet...)
