(a) WTF is with the foil (is this for keeping the airbox cool?)

(b) why's he not mentioned that all the breather connections are blocked off?

(c) picture no. 6 is my favourite

(d) mate, your 'trumpets' are back to front.

He seems to be criticising Honda's design for not letting him run the airbox without the snorkel :clap: Also I disagree with his assumption that the rear cylinder running a larger main jet should set off 'warning bells' (and that it is only because of running temperatures). It also runs a richer needle, emulsion tube and pilot screw setting, and I believe the reasons are not only because of cooling but also related to the different intake length for that cylinder. Anyway that's a tangent...

That listing though hasn't got a blanked-off snorkel, just the breather holes for the valve cover and carb piston breathers (f*** knows why the latter are blanked off).

I quite like the foil idea though, in a way.

'Honda VTR1000F Firestorm rear side underseat panel VERY GOOD'

I guess 'VERY GOOD' is a relative term...

He's selling a used OEM CCT for £20 :think: :whatever
:idea: I wonder if a reliable rear CCT installed on the front pot would make it more less prone to fail ;-)
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

:lol: :lol: I guess at least both of these come as a single piece rather than several like those headlight cowls. It's a sad indication of the state of the used Storm parts market that 'VERY GOOD' means 'not completely smashed up or missing crucial bits'.
