Yeah mate,,,,, the best sounding exhaust system i even owned.....
Is super loud, hence i have to push to a more remote spot to crank her up late at night

To all the guru here,,,, i have tis question for the longest time....

I did a dyno run on my ride & it read 103bhp, question is that it is from the crack or at rear????
If is at rear,,,, WOW!!!! at crack tat will be abt 125bhp???!!!???

it will be the rear wheel mines 104

Hahaha..... tat a gd one,,, but the clear the air actually u can bring gum for ur own use,
not for selling.... tat mean u can chew ur heart out on the street but off cos not infront
of the airport official. I alway hv gum (brought it from Malaysia) in my car.

Firstorm is a rare sight in Singapore, at brand new it cost S$25,000 = GBP$12,360!!!!!!
Added-on ppls don't toy with V-twin as compared to straight four.

Honda being Honda, they build machine tat last..... may not for performace but i rather
to have a trust worthy ride than a machine tat hv too much power till the main frame
can't cope with (TL....., sorry 2 TL owners as i nearly get myself one b4 i go 4 Firestorm
, super powerful engine 124bhp at rear, if is not b'cos of the known crack between the
rear shock mounting & main frame).

Sure mate!!! U r alway welcome, if u r here can give me a call for a meet-up

i will give her a quick wiping so leaving no space for those grease or dirt to 'build-up'.
And i alway hv her covered-up with .... no one cover but TWO!!!! hehehe,,,,, silly

Looks to me like he has a solid line feeding the left caliper going over the wheel but under fender. Can see it in 1st load of pics too. different but obviously works or wouldnt be like that.

Yeah mate, the second brake horse i got it an inch too short so instead of going over the fender (which is pretty ugly) i go under it.
Secured by cable ties with holes carefully drilled onto the fender for the cable ties to go thru it. Have enough clearance from the
front tyre. Proven on the track so it work as per normal.
