My new streetfightered VTR

topgooser · Post by **topgooser** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 9:47 am

As some of you may know - bought a VFR last weekend - Thought that the shock was far too soft - and could not be bothered getting it sorted.

So took it back and got my money back.

Just bought another.

Got a street fiightered VTR - with Fireblade forks and RRW Front brake master cylinder and some way sweet front calipers.

the 43mm forks and blade master cyclinder make her much stiffer into bends and great at stopping - as opposed to the standard storm set up - whioch can feel both spongy and vague at the front end in standard guise - I know this all too well from my night over at Knockhill on my last Firestorm!

the braided hoses seem to add a little too - which makes it fun for stopping at the lights in town!

Got a pic here - but it ain't hosted so don't think I can attach a file from hard drive??

Not sure whether this pic link will work - but here goes a try anyway!

Nope didn't work!!

i think it was all Mario Navaro stuff, various links dotted about the site, there used to be one on the front page, not sure if its still there.
