Hello All

Hey up,
I was pretty much forced to give up bikes about 8 years ago when I got a job outside of easy commute distance up the motorway from where I live.
Since moved jobs much closer.
Had the chance but not the time, then the time but not the money and last month I had all 3.
So now I have an S Reg. Firestorm.
Cost me £1500, got 21K miles on the clock , a new MOT and some very loud "Micron" exhausts. Which I will need advice on how to replace.
I've always wanted to get a fully faired bike and turn it into a street-fighter. I know that is going to up set some people, so please take this as fair warning: if you see one of my posts, it may not be to your liking.
I believe bikes should have as little as possible on them, not be covered in body-work like a car.
Bike History:
Honda CG125
Honda CB-1 400 "Big One"
Honda NT400 "Bros"
It may look it, but I am not obsessed with Honda. Honest. It just so happens that they have been local , cheap and the features I wanted at the time.
In this case, a 1000cc V engine.
I am a mechanical fitter by trader, so do have some idea what I am doing, but I am by no means a bike or engine expert.
Thanks for reading, be good to chat.
