Nothing personnel buddy, it just from a previous post count discussion I had a while back.

Oh' and there is nothing wrong with Golfs, they are great cars. I had a mark 1 GTI Campaign many years ago. One of the best cars for a good sound system. :thumbup:

The SP1 forks are not so good as the Fireblade USD ones. IIRC the SP1 forks are shorter than the standard Firestorm ones too,

Ahh ok, gotta love a bit of forum banter. Perhaps now I've broken the seal I might start joining in! I signed up to find myself a Firestorm and sorted it out via PMs...have been lurking ever since!

Here's a pic of the bike with the SP1 front end. No comments about the colour please :biggrin
I bought it off of a member on here (davros) and I haven't got round to spraying it yet. It's going to go high gloss white with black decals.

Actually, the SP-1 forks are among (if not the) the longest of the USDs, the 929 and 954 units are shorter than the OEM VTR units.....

Micky, if that's the case on the length of the SP1 forks, then I stand corrected :oops:
