It's a half completed Firestorm streetfighter project, that I'm gonna convert back to fully faired spec with some nice performance mods. Overall it looks pretty clean and it comes with a new Ohlins rear shock & Sprint steering damper.
The current plan is:
USD front end - from a blade, or R1 maybe.
Brace the swingarm - stop it flexing so much.
Engine mods - Up the jetting in the carbs, get high compression pistons, lightened conrods & flywheel. Possibly get some flatside carbs if I can find em, but they're rarer than hens teeth.
Twin MotoGP style stubby cans - let the beast roar.
Powdercoat the frame & swingarm - black or gunmetal grey maybe.
HID headlight up front.
Petrol tank - gonna get it modified for a higher capacity, as the early storms struggle to do 100 miles to a tank.
Cosmetic mods like undertray, bellypan etc.
It's gonna take a long time to finish but should be something special at the end.
A few pictures of it in it's current state.
Now I'm off to go dig through info on the above mods, but if anyone here can give me some first hand experience with the above that would be great, specifically:
Aftermarket carbs OR best way to jet the OEM carbs for performance.
Which front ends fit, and how easily.
Engine mods, what performance gains can be had and where to buy them.
Can't wait to own a Firestorm again
