Hello!!! This is my baby. Blue 02reg FireStorm, but in fact this is '99 model with smaller fuel tank and old dash. The bike rides superb, but I need some changes to be made. Just to keep me happy. I have searched this forum for a couple of days and get an idea what needs to be done...

Looks nice and unmolested, so now you can set about fixing that

Shame about the colour though

bin the pipes, paint it yellow and away you go ... nice looking bike sir, welcome along

Welcome to the club matey. Well done on buying the correct colour bike

Blimey! - A rare example indeed. No, not the colour, or the fact it has the original cans...

I'm referring to the chain adjustment decal on the adjuster plate.

I mean...who still has one of those on their Firestorm!??

Looking good though...

Welcome aboard A very tidy and clean looking bike you have there,

Chris.

Thank you very much, indeed

My bike is pretty standard. Previous owner fitted Datatool Alarm, crash bungs, heated grips and drilled silencers for "safety" reasons

My "to do" list is short:
- manual CCT's (to protect the engine and my wallet)
- mirror extenders (standard mirrors are not perfect)
- some really loud cans (not sure which ones though)

Any ideas?

Hello and welcome .
As for cans any will do but carbons won't last

Welcome to the forum. This lot will soon put you right with whatever mods you want to do.

This is what I expect them to do, if I'm honest...

Your first job should be cct's. ASAP

Followed by painting it a decent colour...

Welcome in BTW.

Welcome, another north london storm!
Has the regulator rectifier been upgraded? That can be another little "experience" like all hondas of the period.

As for pipes lots to choose from, mine are loud with the baffles in and silly without! As a guy on a rideout said "Love your bike, hate your pipes"
You are not too far from me if you want to hear them I am sure we can arrange something.

No problem I would like some experienced rider to have a look on my bike and tell me what to do/improve/fix... I live in Enfield EN3... If you would like to meet me and talk about the bikes and other stuff just let me know... PM or email sebek1979ATtlen.pl (Change the 'AT' for '@')
