Did you find a company that does adapters for controls? There was a company in Classic Motorcycle mechanics this month, if you need it I can get the name and phone number for you when I get home.

You just ruined it for me mate :cry:

I just can't deal with the lack of symmetry. hehe I prefer the look of twin exhausts on the back. It was one of the main things I was looking for when I bought my Firestorm.

Was out in the garage yesterday tending to my bike. You know how it is this weather, start her up and once she is up to temp wring her neck a few times to get the adrenalin in your stomach.

Went back into the house and the Mrs said was that you revving that bloody bike again. I said yes it was. I asked why. She said she near sh1t herself at the noise.

Ah well at least my bike entertained me twice yesterday.
