I'm not sure if I should be jealous that you get to keep your baby indoors, not sure I'd get away with it although I think it would look real nice in the corner of the lounge

So not today but at the weekend I removed the vfr800 bars and switched back to standard bars, added bar end mirrors so I can see more than my shoulders and removed standard mirrors and put in blanking plates

Welcome to the forum I'm a recent arrival too and the archive and helpfulness of the forum is awesome

Thanks, yeah when I check out the reg/rec later I'll run over all the connectors too just to be sure

So having ridden my newly acquired Storm for a couple of weeks I've noticed she's more and more reluctant to start cold or hot. I assumed knackered battery and put a new one in due to her being on sorn and laid up for near 2 years. However after a couple of days she was struggling again. Last night ...

Well being a Cornish native and also ex RAF I served there when I was in the mob, I for one will be looking out for job opportunities...I had to leave my home county in search of a living wage a long time ago, not all industrialisation is bad

I've got a Firestorm that came with the VFR 800 mod done and a spare set of risers and bars, I actually want to try out the stock clip ons, anyone have a set lying around they might want to do a deal on?

You were pulling off your drive early this morning I passed on red storm...recognise yourself???

So having just got my 98 Firestorm and it being layed up on SORN for a couple of years I've been doing the short commute to work for the last few days to get her out and moving. First up it handled horribly, I think I've fixed it now as I discovered the front tyre was inflated to well over 40 psi ...

Your bike looks like it's in really good condition for a 1998 model 8) :thumbup: Chris. Yeah hard to believe its 20 years old, 25k on the clocks but does seem to have been really well looked after and came with a vfr800 handle bar conversion and a bag of spares, even a spare flat bar conversion ...
