Newbie!!!!!

Post by shinn281 »

Hello folks, just wanted to introduce myself as a new member of the awesome Firestorm club. I am so new that I don't actually have the bike yet! (pick it up on Wed!). I just wanted to thank the members on here, as with all the advice available I have already been warned about cct's and have ordered manual ones ready to be fitted.
I've wanted a v-twin for all of my biking life and recently came into a bit of money and the firestorm seemed the best choice by far, great looking and the best noise ever invented. I'm looking forward to many years of riding my firestorm and getting together with fellow firestorm owners for ride outs etc....
Also, does anybody know a good place to get the manual ccts' fitted in the Lincolnshire area, preferably, Grantham, Sleaford or Lincoln area?

Cheers, Matt.

P.S. I will post a pic once I collect my bike and give it a good clean and polish!

Hi, Matt.
Looks like you have all of the normal problems beaten before the start; all there is to do is to ride it!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Welcome aboard buddy

Hopefully someone on here will be able to help with the fitting of the ccts, although if you are even a bit mechanically minded, the guide on here is a doddle to follow

And there are plenty of guys on here to offer advice
