G'day From Melbourne, Australia

G'day,
New to the forum, so I thought I would do a quick intro, firstly great forum.
I have a 01 firestorm, engine wize it is stock apart from the megacycle exhaust, it has ozzy **** frame sliders, a DB windscreen and I have removed the front indicators filled the indicator cutouts and resprayed the fairing, Put carbon fibre mirrors with built in led indicators on and now am waiting for the delivery of my rumble undertail, There is still a fair bit that I would like to do, but they say good things take time.
I will put some photos up shortly, I have hand surgery tomorrow , so I will have plenty of time then.
SS

Best time of my life was the two weeks I got to spend in Melbourne on leave from the 'Nam in '70. I'd revisit at the drop of a hat.

Welcome to the boards, it's nice to know that a bike out of production still has a fan base within the demograph that appreciates the finer things.

Thanks for the warm welcome, I got the mirrors from a bike accessories shop here in Melbourne called Road Rocket, they are Italian Made mirrors.

L8RGYZ is an unknown quantity at this point
Nice look with the filled fairings & trick mirrors. I'm sure we'd like more details on that. Like brand of mirrors & what kind of bike they were made for.

Here is the link...............
www.roadrocket.com.au

The site is hard to navigate, and they dont have alot of their goodies on there, but what you want they get.
Probably good for aussies, but id say you would have a much bigger choice in the U.S
The mirrors are an aftermarket manufactoror, I can find out the brand when I get mobile again in a day or two, but these were made to suit VTR's. They came with half a dozen different mounting locators so you could have them further out or on a different angle, they cost $240 Australian for the pair.
