Re: Tank Dent

Wow, lots of posts ! Ye, I would say the speedo is about 10-15 mph out at 100, 6-8 at 60 and 3-5 at 30. I can live with that ! I had seen those glue stick dent kits but when I read the instructions about using solvent and scrapers to get the glue off I thought I would rather live with dent than lose ...

Re: Standard link pipes ?

To be fair Scorpion did say if I sent the old one to them they would try and match it up (although they probably wouldnt have one :? ) I just don't want to be without the bike, but if I can get some standard pipes at a good price I may as well send it back and see if they can help.

Re: New Firestorm Owner !

Hi, and thanks for replying so quickly ! Yes mine is the later model, after reading reviews about riders struggling to get used to the engine braking and the power being ferasome I was a little apprehensive for my first ride.
