Hi everyone.
Very happy to be a new member. I am Brian and own a small motorcycle repair shop in South Africa. I am the PROUD owner of a 99 firestorm with just under 60 000 km on the clock. I've always wanted a storm and was blessed to adopt her about four years ago. Have had no hassles with her except the cct's of coarse, but had manual ones made up a while back and have never looked back since. We had a slight misshapp about two years ago at a trackday involving cold tires and being over eager. She's been rebuilt cosmetically, but never been the same, so in Feb, i stripped her down. she is slowly getting rebuilt. New wavy discs front and rear, new fork tubes, 4 deg advancer, gsxr 1000k1 front calipers, EBC double h pads, braided hoses, etc, etc.
I had previously equiped her with a DNA filter and stage one dynojet kit. Found my TPS to be set on about 1400 ohms, so modified it to the required 500 ohms. Just waiting for the body work to come back. I had purchased a genuine set of honda decals for the R157 color code, but cant paint the clear over it, so having others made. Will post pics when she's done. Anyone interested in the decals, give me a shout and lets see what we can do.
Cheers!!
