Thanks for the welcome guys,
Yeah already looking to get the cct's replaced in the near future. I am slowly working my way through the workshop knowledge base (great advice in there).
As to the cans moving, there is a bracket at the rear between the two exhaust outlets which is bolted to the reg plate/ cans and the rear sub frame. Its not the greatest way of securing them as some bolts have been screwed directly into the end of the cans
, but it is on the "to do list" to get it sorted. However it does hold the cans securely with no wobble when I tried to move them with my hands.
It has some fake carbon fibre sheet covering it, which sometime in the past has partially melted and is now looking a bit sad, so that will get stripped and replaced with something else (not sure what yet)
Apart from that I'm finding the Firestorm a great bike, tho the engine braking is something I'm still trying to get used to
