Well the Firestorm had it's first run into london today ..... lurverly. :biggrin Did its stuff as expected. Always wary when the bikes been in a million bits and you ride it for the first time as the realtime shakedown :crazy: Still it worked jus fine .... did make my arms and wrist ache though.

They're good and slim for filtering, but if your'e in heavy traffic for long then I would suggest thinking about fitting a second rad fan on the LH rad with a manual override switch.
They don't like sitting in traffic for long on a hot day.

You won't need this until summer, though.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
