My Vtr
 

Hi folks, another newbie here.
I was pointed to this site by Alan, another firestorm uk member who's on this forum.
Here's a pic of my bike, and look forward to reading through the posts here..
It's in bits at the moment, halfway though VFR swingarm conversion :D

Welcome.. very nice bike..

:welcome: nice looking bike.....

Welcome aboard!

HI ALAN...........ERR. MIKE!
will be hard to tell you guys apart,same color, same mods.
what personal twists are you gonna add?

nice bike... shame about the colour, he he :)

Nice bike! :welcome:

Nice, fast color like mine. Whose rear sets are those & do they raise & lower peg height from OEM?

One thing I question, you bobbed the rear fender (so you get roostered tailed big time in the often incessant rain you have) but you added (what make?) a front fender extension? Uh, please explain the logic without mentioning aesthetics. :evillaugh:

those look like the gilles rearsets.

Again, "do they raise & lower peg height from OEM?"

They are Gilles rear sets and yes there is several different adjustments over standard

Hi i have a different rear wheel lol

us UK stormers are joining you seeing as our site has gone to the wolves:D:Dso expect a load more lol

just saw that .any idea what is happening?

Dont know think he needs to put another dollar in the meter lol

looks like you have different exhaust and chin fairing as well

Umm, putting my mod hat on: What exactly does that mean? :)

Post pics of the conversion process puh-leeeeze.

Nice!! Who made the chin fairing?

Chin is a skidmarx unit. No idea what make fenda extenda is, as it was on when I bought bike 2 years ago. As for personal twists, probably doing something with the paint. Right from the start I said I wouldnt do a "clone" of Alan's bike, although at the moment they do look similar :D

Can you take a picture of your signal switches? I think the UK ones have more features.

Well, i've been off forum for a short while, but got exhaust built up and bike put back together. I'll have a look at switches for you Anto, and I'm sure they are different for uk spec.
Anyway, took bike out last weekend and did 200 miles on it. Real happy now I've got it back on the road.

It means No Worky!... :horse:

Oh if the UK switches are the same as here in Sweden, the only difference is that we have a slide switch where you have a toggle for high/lowbeam which sets (off/warning lights only/lights on) and another pushbutton for high/lowbeam... Which is useless as it's constantly hangs in highbeam...:)

This has two reasons, not turning on any lights is good for cold starts, all power goes to the starter, and for some reason here in Sweden the law states you have to be able to turn off your lights when running or go to warning lights only... But it's illegal to use it?!
