Picking up my first, and probably only, Firestorm tonight

[freeridenick]

Hi All,

Thanks for the welcome info and the great info I've already checked out. This forum was extremely useful when I was deciding to buy my Firestorm.

It's a mate's bike and it used to look like this https://www.dropbox.com/s/fc2d8q60dfib3 ... 010109.jpg

It's now in a few more parts, but I'm hoping to get it back on the road a.s.a.p. No doubt I'll be looking for help on here.

Looking forward to a finished project.

Cheers
Nick

Welcome aboard Nick
It looks like a well cared for bike when your mate used to own her

Good luck in getting the bike all back together,

Chris.

Thanks everyone. I'm just east of Manchester in Glossop.

It's not had as good a life as the pic suggests unfortunately. CCT went on the front cylinder and my mate bought it as a project.

The CCT has been replaced with a Honda original and it's had a replacement head, so I'm hoping all I need to do is double check all the timings and check the compression before I stick it all back together again and try and fire it up.

The plastics were all cracked and broken, especially round the screen, but my mates repaired most of those. I need to learn to paint though.

The good news is I've got over £200 worth of nuts, bolts and other bits for when it goes back together. First job is to sort and label everything.
