Hi Everyone,

Switched from a Fireblade to a Firestorm as always wanted to own a V-Twin. Picked up a 98 model with 18k on the clock and rode it for the first time today. Absolutely in love with it....winner.

One thing.....how the hell do I remove the pillion cowl?

Cheers.

Just unclip the two side mountings and stretch it lightly outwards, it comes off rearwards.
The rearmost central point just stays in place, it's for location only.
You have to take the dual seat off the bike first.

I'll give that a go, thanks

A very clean and tidy bike you have found there by the looks of it, and low mileage too, well done.

Welcome aboard

Chris.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

[Armortura]

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

I can't believe how clean it is. I think I may have fallen on my feet with this one. Fingers crossed!

Cheers

Looks like a very nice bike.If i was you i would get them auto cct's changed for manuals asap to save any heartache.They are a time bomb waiting to go off and wreck your engine.

[Armortura]

Thanks! I will definitely have those tensioners changed to manual ones. The auto ones have my nerves on edge ha ha.

Cheers.

[Armortura]

Got the seat off anyway.....ha ha.
