Ouch, get those broken bits off and things won't seem so bad.

I've got the same type of crash bungs made by R&G on my bike, it looks like they did their job,

Chris.

I can help you with some of those parts mate, i'll send you a pm with my email, gutted you had an off so soon after buying the bike.

hi guys as of yesterday i got my much loved firestorm back on the road following all the repairs from the accident back in november 2014, all MOT'D and legal now ready for this years riding. thanks to a friend.

Hia Chris

As a relative newby I just picked on this thread, so can only say well done to you and your tenacity in getting back on the road . I now have my vtr which is a w reg with 46k - just given it a full service and will now do manual cct job, then rear suspension linkage. It's the dark blue metallic

I think I am going to really like this bike and it compliments my 98 blade, which I also love.

Anyway good work mate, and as I'm other side of the hills you never know our patches may cross

Brian

well done mate. just in time for some nice weather.

I love my firestorm and had to have it repaired. I also kept away from the insurance company as I didn't want it to be written off lol. have been out a few times over the last couple of days and rides superbly, don't think I have done a bad job of repairing it, don't look as if anything ever happened to it. ;)

welcome along sir.. time to enjoy your storm then?
