'97 Firestorm For sale SOLD

Post by MacV2 »

SOLD SOLD SOLDP reg '97 Storm in Black... £1000. OVNO...

41487 miles. Fresh MOT expires 22/8/2025.

It needs a good clean & some luvin to get it looking it's best.

It has been painted at some point as no decals on fairing & gold wings on tank so not spec for year.

It has 3 keys for ignition & seat with a keyless fuel cap.

Clear rear light with red bulbs.

Flush mount front indies & small rear ones.

Aftermarket undertray small plate as fitted but comes with a full size one for MOT.

Has MCCT's, 6mm shock spacer. Braided lines.

The tyres have plenty of tread but are a bit old.

I have given it fresh oil & filter. Re chromed forks re built with fresh oil, seals, bushes & painted lowers. Serviced the shock linkage. Fitted a set of refurbish callipers, fresh DOT4.

It's ridable so Insure it on the day get some tax & ride it away.

Test ride is OK as long as you can show me proof of insurance & I have the cash in my hands... :lol:

Not had any taker's on this...

Come & pick it up for £600 or its getting broken...

Just to add for some reason it's decided to not start.

Has spark front & rear, smells of fuel when it turns over, poss carb issue ?

So it's spares or repairs...

In fact given its rideaway, I could get there quicker.
Perhaps sunday. I am working on transport. Why do you have to live in the butt end of nowhere???
Also I can bring the old oil pipes I have on my todo list..

hahahahha your the one living in Devon.

Yes saw your PM & replied.

When I did the Malc Haul Run I left mine @ about 04.00 to beat the M25 shite, still didn't get home till after 23.00...

Check directions on google maps. You can stay on the M25 & come off on the A2 J2 towards Dover.

Or J5 for the M26 onto M20 come off A228 North...

Indeed Grainstorm has been a staple since 2012 its a workshopday...

This year will be arranged soon sometime in May probably.

Yep, it's a regular calendar fixture. Mostly it's talking b.lox and eating bacon and biscuits, but occasionally a bit of maintenance gets done.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
