Other than painting em nope.....i've had it past 140mph twice (on a private road in case pc plod is reading this

) with no problems so they seem good enough to me

They are very. Soft
Stronger spring is the normal with 7.5w
Oil trust us we know even if you only weigh 3stone
But with the rear shock a lighter spring is needed
No point building a bike from nuts and bolts if it don't Handel as it should

what can i say i'm a colourful person, colour aside the firestorm is a very good cheap bike with lots of room for improvement and personal touches.
and i love a bit of carbon fibre, you should get some on your bike buddy would look suttle against the black.
theres a nearly new front mudguard going on ebay in the next 20mins, i would have it myself but i've put a cbr954 front end on my bike,,,

Carbon does look good with the black

Yep they seem soft alright....I may look into beefing them up a bit then.....cheers.

I got a Vmax too which had the same problem so I put progressive springs in em.

Linear springs are better

Nice work in rebuilding any paint finish, just a shame you wont want to ride it now cause it will get dirty
