Greeting

Post by lowside »

Hello all.
Jeff here from Southampton saying hi :wave:
Just picked up a Firestorm sprint bike. Looking forward to running the bike with the NSA next season.
Not new to big twins, but my first Honda four stroke twin. Expect i'll be asking for help and advice very soon, will be stripping and rebuilding the bike over the winter months.

YZF750 forks re worked for the TRX, Ohlin internals, R1 front brakes, Galfer discs, YZF750 swinging arm, brakes and wheel. Pirelli Dragon evo BSB tyres. Harpoon carbon cans.
Paint is peal and a one off biased on the classic Yamaha speed blocks. All pant no stickers :thumbup:

And one before it was painted from back in the spring.

Paint looks better than it was.
