This is my new (to me) Firestorm, its a 97 with 15000 on the clock, the bike is immaculate, it has carbon Scorpion cans and a carbon hugger, its very loud and I cant wait to take delivery of it on Tuesday.
Anything I should be looking for when I pick it up?

Looks very clean that. You got some anodised bolls in the engine casings as well. cam chain tensioners (CCT's) should be first on your list to upgrade/mod as the storms biggest week point.

Nice
What to look for when you pick it up? - Open road, blue skies, riding on the right
Do the CCT mods - every owner has a responsibility to preserve parts, don't let your engine die.

Corners coming at you faster then they normally seem to.
Oncoming traffic.
And in my own experience ducks and pigeons.
Have fun....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

This could work out well
as I could do with my bike paint getting a serious polish, sounds like a trade at the next workshop day if I sort your CCTs for you
