Born-again newbie...

Post by Tenesmus »

Hi

Had a Firestorm from new when they first came out, back problems forced me to something more sensible back in 2000 or so, I now have a Vmax I don't ride so am going to try a Firestorm again to see if it revives my interest... :plainsmile

welcome to the forum buddy, remember to put your location on your profile, that way if you need any help, another forum member might be just around the corner. on the plus side, a 16ltr fuel tanked early model will have you off the bike and stretching your legs in under 100 miles.... :lol:
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Welcome. Flat bars as mentioned above or for more comfort have them raised as I did. I'm getting about a 5" rise with this setup
