Hello
Hello
Just got myself an 03 Firestorm. Had one 12 years ago and had alot of fun on it in, only had it around 9 months but crammed lots in, used it for despatch work a bit, went to le-mans, toured south of the uk, and won a few club races on it after all that it hadn't missed a beat so i thought i'd better get rid before something went wrong
Since then i've had loads of bikes, gixxer1000's aprilia's etc etc, last one was a BMWr1200s (the underseat piped sport boxer), awesome bike, very un BM like, but due to racing my XJ this year i had to sell to release some funds, hence Another Firestorm..
I'd like to make it similar to my last one, I had Arrow carbon cans, k&n filter and a dynojet kit which all made it run spot on. Other mods were dark power bronze screen (i'd get a lighter one now, as hard to see when on one wheel ) and a hugger. I had an Ohlins shock and i fitted linear 0.875 fork springs with 140mm airgap.
My new bike has better forks than my earlier F-1 so i'll leave them for now, and can't afford an Ohlins this time.
Looking forward to some summer fun on it
If anyone knows of some good cans for sale post up please, no high levels, don't like the look of them.....Is there a "best can" and "best screen" threads anywhere on here ?
