sp1 bodywork

[yamawreck]

does anyone know if the sp1 bodywork will fit a firestrorm? i am struggling to find fairign panels that are not rediculously expensive or completely screwed (i have a set of those)

also has anyone found anywhere that sells engine covers, i need the non sprocket side and so far the interenet has not producrd anything, none of the aftermarket guys seem to make them for a firestorm either.

cheers

Don't know about the SP1 but I know the Blade bodywork fits
Its the pre-1000cc model I think

WRT engine covers, how badly trashed is yours?
Could you weld the crack/hole and put a carbon cover over the top?

[yamawreck]

wow, how easy is it to fit the blade bodywork? has anyone from here done it?

i slid down the road for quite a way and have ground down the right engine cover, it weeps gently (much like me when i look at it) when left for any time. is it safe to weld this up? how much pressure is there behind it? it is the right hand (non sprocket) cover

There is plenty of things available on the market to make a satisfactory repair to your damaged casing, you'll have to have a look around, my be Halfords or any motor factors/suppliers or even the net. A mate of mine used one on his van sump called JB Weld, I think Evo-Stik made one called Quick Steel and I have a feeling Plastic Padding used to do one

HTH,

Quote from the guy I bought it off

the fairing is off a 954 blade (rr2) you just need to trim room for the rads, front down pipe, and make a few brakets. I have used some cheapo ones from b+q and they only cos 3 quid. Hardest thing to fit was the seat unit some braket making on idustrial scale required and some welding but i think the end result will be totally worth it

that actually looks amazing!

although i dont think im too fond of the zip tie attachments lol

[marlbororman]

has anyone else actually done the fireblade mod???

dont know wether to take the plunge or not,myself. dont want to waste money on panels to find i cant fit em, also would i need a 954 fireblade headlight too???

Hmm... I'm wondering now if a Fireblade upper fairing with foxeye lights will fit...

*rushes off with spanner in hand to find out.*

[alan]

Yes Kitch it will with some fiddling a pic of a members on here

[marlbororman]

Now that looks really nice, even better than the one with 954 fairings on.....hmmmmmm got me thinking now, just off to browse evil bay, back in a bit

[sirch345]

I personally like the look of that Storm

[marlbororman]

The foxeye version looks like a proper bike if you know what i mean,it looks complete,rather than extra bits added to it, very nice.

[Jaglifter]

I don't think the SP fairing will fit the storm, but I've never tried it. There certainly seems to be more/cheaper SP bodywork around than Storm.


The Fireblade fairing looks sooooo much better than the Storm offering (in my opinion). I never really liked the Storm bodywork much.

[Ooops, may have lit the blue touch paper..]

[marlbororman]

well im going for it,will keep yer posted....fireblade here we come, gunna be in repsol colours me thinks.... Just got front wheel back in, in floro orange!! its brite
