Hiya folks. Just checking in to say hello. Ive been riding a guzzi 1100 sport for the last 3 years and have finaly had enough of it breaking down so ive done the sensible thing and bought a firestorm. Initial impressions are very good, the midrange torque is great although i was surprised by the lack of top end . Someones changed the gearing so the speedo reads fast , ill be changing that back soon. The blue flame pipes sound lovely , thinking of selling them though and making my own. Im getting about 9-10mpl at 90mph on a-roads which is ok and alot better than the guzzi.
There are a few other mods im inrterested in and wondered if any of you might be able to offer any advice. I want to remove the clocks (as gone naked) , is this ok to do without encountering electrical problems ? And id like to replace the two side rads with a more conventional front one - is there a known option ? Also im thinking of changing the rear seat/bodywork for something smaller and lighter.
I'll post a few pics soon although nothing to show so far !
