Hi all, how ya doing? Im after a new firestorm frame for a project and have been offered a frame with no documentation and no numbers left on it, what would be your advice, the bike isnt going on the road so in theory i dont need any documents, what would you do, take it or steer clear? Oh he wants ...

Lol This one made me chuckle.... Les is a good bloke, he knows his stuff, well at least hasnt had any problems doing what ive asked of him in the past. The one who doesnt talk much i call smiler, basically because he never smiles, never talks instead choosing to grunt when you ask him a question. Fo...

Does anyone know a good place i could look for storm front and rear top ends? I need everything... Cheers

If not do any of you know of anywhere selling a whole engine?

Quality, might have to look into getting one.

Hhhmmm, i thought you could only use Superchips systems with fuel injected bikes, seeing as the Storm (Hawk) isnt fuel injected i suspect that it wont actually be doing anything.

Is it just me who thinks they look nasty? If you cant see your speedo at night i suggest you get your eyes tested :-P

Look at the 5 and 6, looks like theyve been drawn on by a 6 year old with crayons. Original clocks look a lot better IMO... sorry.

Sorry to hear that.

You were a good bloke R.I.P :-( :-( :-(

Yeah the springs go rather quickly, its rather strange how most people find the front ones going first though isnt it??

hhhmmmm you could easily get a fan fitted to it to cool things down when youre in traffic. And stiffening the suspension a bit *wont* wombles up the handling, i stiffened mine as soon as i got it and it corners better than any storm with stock suspension settings (ive ridden quite a few storms to co...

hhhmmm why is not having a cooling fan not good? The rad is at the front of the bike so when youre moving the temp will be kept lower than normal because of the increased amount of air passing over it, im sure you could get some form of non honda fan to fit on it anyway. Im more interested in where ...

Sorry wasnt aware you could remove the sender unit. Still if youre going to buy an official honda part it will probably still work out cheaper to buy a second hand tank off ebay.

bluegh it doesnt really matter now does it?

NOTE: Dont wombles with the cam timing if you dont know what youre doing, it will end in tears! Oh and steve gave me a link to these people a while ago, definatley better than the standard tensioners. http://www.debben.co.uk They sell billet racing ones that can be manually adjusted, no nasty worn t...

My friend has fitted a 190 rear and didnt need to modify the bike any way. Its only .5mm extra either side of the tyre so its not a massive amount. The only thing it will do is slow the cornering down but to be honest my friend didnt notice it much and you probably wont either.
