Hi all new to the firestorm but absolutley love it .
Started with sv650 upon return to biking then started buying old bikes and stripping powdercoating and rebuilding , during this eventually ended up with a vfr800 but still wasnt happy .Looked at loads of firestorms about 98 99 all going for about £1500 , then stumbled upon an ad for an 05 imported by someone in the army from germany with 11000 Km in gunpowder black , bit his hand off at £1750 and prepared to mod .

this is as i got it

this is with the added mushrooms and carbon fibre fairing lowers
Must say this is the nicest bike i have ridden , just waiting for the carbon exhausts to turn up

Nice looking bike mate. Are the German market bikes full power? I know they had an anti power thing a few years ago. What make are the lowers? Welcome to the forum by the way, have you performed the cct surgery to ensure the longevity of the bike?

Hi had my mate at the honda dealership to check out the bike and apparently if they were restricted they would have a D somewhere in the honda computer listing , but it seems like its not , and if it was i was told it would have been to 100bhp .The lowers were a bargain at m and p , discontinued stock £100 a pair and also the mushrooms are on offer again at £15 , plan on putting a few miles on the firestorm this summer and then looking for jobs to do in the winter

Hi mate , welcome on board !

I like that bike. Personally I'd either paint the lower fairing to match the bike or, and in my opinion a much better idea, give the thing to me. After all that shiny black bottom really doesnt match that matt black paintwork going on there.

Welcome to the forum.

Gotta love that matt black..welcome

brief update after reading posts about ccts new pair just ordered

New Honda cct's or new manual cct's? Don't rely on new Honda auto tensioners without the fail safe option. Read some of the horror stories and you will go for either Rider on a Storms manuals or APE or the guy who sells on E Bay. Good luck.

I do like those colours, looks like a good find

Love that matt black charcoal paint.

I even like the different colour belly pan. Really smart bike.

Hi all just cannot stop riding or modding this firestorm
led tail light

sorted poorly fitted scottoiler (used to throw oil on the back tyre)

carbon fibre exhausts from dan moto china with decibel killers fitted

also new dunlop rear tyre , clear indicator lenses and performed the shock linkage mod while replacing the rear tyre and gave the swingarm a good clean

loving the firestorm still have to balance the carbs , change the cam chain tensioners and fit the voltage monitor

Welcome to the forum Darren

Your bike is the first I've seen with those Dan Moto can's fitted
