Eh, the bar end on my right bar is all I need lol... Yeah been reading up on manual CCT's. Gonna wait till riding season is over. Already replaced the R/R with an RMStator replacement. Yeah I LOVE the Devil exhaust, was installed by PO and jetted, and jet hotted headers thru pipes, but from what I understand they are out of business so nearly impossible to find anywhere. Will let ya know if I ever decide to part ways with it..

Not if you have a snowmobile 
AS for the bike, congrats, it's the fastest colour YOur bike is either a Canadian (or non-US) Firestorm or is using the plastics from as that colour was never imported Stateside. I lie the frame paint treatment, very nice.
Oh yes, and welcome to the site

Welcome! I'm in Gettysburg, PA. Are you close?
I'm in Frederick, MD. My bike is getting restored @ the moment, almost done. Got it a year ago for $200.00 bucks! A 98 w/ 11,000 miles on it, a definite cherry! Sat for 2 yrs so I rebuilt the carb and threw a battery on and she fired right up. The intake boots under the carb are toast so I had to order that and those and the foamy filters for the airbox but after that I should be golden. Wouldn't mind going on a ride if there is one in the area?!

Thank you, thank you. Mik, its actually been repainted. Painted it a House of Colors blue that was laying around with a very light metallic inlay. Yeah the painted frame def adds some depth.
Hawk and Wolverine, Im located in Quakertown PA, so about 2 hours North of Gettysburg. Every weekend we do group rides, mostly Sundays. Sometimes into the Poconos, other times through New Hope and up the river. As long as you don't mind using the Hawk for everything its worth in the turns and straights, you'll do fine with us : )
And in regards to PA roads, I wouldnt give these up for anything. In PA we have the largest mileage of roads out of any state(in the US), because we have contrasting elevation, mountains, etc that we need to go around, which caters to a huge abundance of Twisties! We may have a winter season, but like what Mik said, thats what Sleds and ATVs are for!
