I have just discovered this forum, and it appears I have found a really useful resource for tips, info.

I'm on my second Firestorm; the first was killed by a u-turning car, although someone has bought it salvage and hopefully put it back on the road. I am now riding a '98 model in red.

Mods so far are mainly cosmetic - hugger, tinted double-bubble screen etc., but I have had the forks re-worked by Maxton Engineering and fitted PFM Supersport discs and braided brake hoses. I have also raised the rear using a 4mm spacer.

This has resulted sharper steereing, much improved stopping, and great feel from the front. I need to get the rear to match now.

I am also replacing the very loud Art low-level cans with high-level Staintune items - they should arrive in the next few weeks.
