Introduction & help
Posted: Sat Jul 10, 2010 4:04 pm
Hi to one and to all. I have been the proud owner of many bikes, blackbirds, gixxers, beemers, rexers, zeds, a chop was in there somewhere too. The one thing all these bikes (and others) had in common was every one of them was unique. each of them i put my own stamp on. sometimes that was over the counter stuff sometimes my own ideas coming to life.
Now i am the very proud owner of a Honda.... Varadero (09) yes i know it aint a firestorm. but i believe the two bikes are close in many ways......brothers you might say.... but one of them ate too many pies
And i am hoping you guys are big enough to see past the differences because i need your help!!!!
I have plenty of time to mess with this as i brought the bike new this January and so it stands to reason i should wait two years for the warranty to run out.Having said that if this begins and spreads as easily as i hope it will it may well be fook the warranty.
My Ideal is for anyone in fair proximity who is willing to meet up to compare cross over pieces for the big Vara over coffees, beers J.D whatever. I am at the moment specifically looking at the front wheel The Vara has a 110 X19 the Firestorm a 120x17. i know the discs are the same size and i reckon they are the same. what i need to know are the wheel spindle sizes for the firestorm the same? and if the spindle spacers etc are the same. To that end i either need to meet someone & take loads of measurements and possibly play with fitting. or get all the details i need.
You guys are the experts (i Hope) is there anyone out there wanna help me create the worlds first (i think) Varadero super moto?
all that being said any info or ideas will not fall on deaf ears.
thanks for listening and hoping for a good response and to maybe meet some good folk
