Re: Newly discovered Firestorm noob in Cardiff!
Thanks for the replies, and yes it is a shame the fairing needed trimming, but as I mentioned, it's not an obvious thing, and doesn't spoil the look of the bike. The other thing I forgot to mention is because I've set the bars further out and back, I now don't have the good rear view from the mirror...

Re: Newly discovered Firestorm noob in Cardiff!
Is that what they're called? Helibars??
Apparently the issue with them is it takes a long time to figure out which position you prefer to have them in!
I suppose you could have different positions for general riding, and touring...?

Re: Newly discovered Firestorm noob in Cardiff!
Hi Matt, good to see another Taff on here! Shame discs are keeping your beastie off the road though. Wonder if you can change the front wheel/fork off a (different make/model) bike with complete discs??? It might be cheaper if you can find one breaking. Never know what will fit....?
