Yet Another VTR
3 Attachment(s)
Hi All
Second post to this forum. Figured I'd add shots of my bike. '98 VTR1000 Firestorm. Bought it new when I still lived in Canada. So I got the Firestorm graphics and not the Superhawk ones in the US. Has full Moriwaki Ti exhaust. I've been told it sounds great from the back. Also has a Dynojet kit, K&N in the airbox, Spiegler screen, Hurricane bars, Coerce fork brace and sprocket cover. I just had the water pump seal replaced. Bike sat mostly dormant for two and a bit years while I was working in Australia. I don't think it liked that. But it's all good now. Attachment 27199 Close up of one of the end cans. Attachment 27200 Got the fork brace off e-bay. Never heard of the company and the item was shipped from Japan. So it was a bit of a crap shoot that turned out quite well. Attachment 27201 |
Plus you don't need to remove your forks to fit them.
Where did you work in Australia, and what were you doing? BBB |
I like it! was wondering if I'd ever see another VTR with these pipes on here. I love them too!

Actually, I did have to remove the forks in order to get the fork protectors off. The ones that mount to the top of the sliders. But that wasn't too bad of a chore.
I'm an Engineer and design, program, and start up industrial control systems. So I was working on a wastewater treatment plant in a town couple hours east of Melbourne. 2 - 1/2 year (including a few months helping out with a project in Hawaii). Lots of cool bikes in Australia that we don't get here in the good old USA. First VTR I saw was a Moriwaki race bike. Decided then and there I had to have a yellow one with the pipes. Hey 98VTRrider... how do you like the pistons and cams? |
