I'll have a look at the fitting again at the weekend when I'm home. It's fitted using three points, a bolt on the right side which uses the original bracket and two long bolts from beneath which go into the rear and front sump holes on the left side. All at present line up just right. If it was to s...

thanks for all the comments. No idea of the make of the belly pan. If I find out, I'll post the make. Cheers guys.

Fitted a belly pan this weekend. Bought off ebay in scruffy black. Had it colour matched to the bike. Real pleased with the end result.

Hi..a couple of weeks ago someone posted a link to a relay good for attaching all your electrical accessories to instead of having the area around the battery looking like a dog's breakfast. Icannot find the post to have anothere look at it. The link is below: What I would like to know is if the rel...

cheap bellypan on ebay, you don't see many in that style http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Firestorm-Bellypan-/150982189958?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item23273d6386 Thanks for the heads up on the belly pan. I was loath to buy a new one at £235. Will need to be painted but still saved a fortune....

Hi Stevo, firstly welcome, secondly I have one of the Kreiger cct's and a-n other. Long story. Both are good quality and Kreiger gets good write ups.

Hi all...just wanted to say a great thanks to all who contributed to this post. I too had the corroded bolt, nothing left of the nut and very poor starting problems. Previously changed to the 18 amp battery with an improvement but not 100%. Today, after reading the post, took the starting motor apar...

Hi guys, firstly Happy New Year to you all. Thought I would put a link up to show you some photos of our two trips round the north of Scotland. We only used bunkhouses, hostels or B/B accomodation as the midges are awful in the evening. Less stuff to carry round as well. Ther roads up there are awes...

Just thinking, what's the views on using brass nuts on the exhaust studs. You wouldn't get the same bother as alloy nuts corroding onto the stud.

Welcome Old Duffer, and once you master the wheelie, you can teach me...greetings from Oop North. Ian

get one of these to control the fan kicking in & out. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190669964082?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 if the fan is fkt ive got a spare :thumbup: I'll have a look at this. I assume it gets wired in place of the thermostat and you therefore set the p...

My Keis heated vest is an absolute must. I recently bought a battery so I can wear the vest when off the bike, and great for camping in the winter. Is this an age thing... The new Keis jacket is £160, long sleeved and the heated membrane is all over and around the neck. I think that's good value. Al...

Found out it was the fuse blown. Nice easy fix.
Run the bike up today and the fan kicked in at just over the half way point on the dial.

Thanks again for all the replies.

Thanks for all the replies. It's the coolant temp that was concerning me. I'll have to wait now till next Saturday to fire it up again.

Cheers again..
