The forks and brakes were timely mods
Looks like a winner if it's affordable
Where are the faster yellow ones?

It looks good. The forks and brakes would be a great upgrade and the fairing looks great to me.

Looking at the EXIF data on the pics you have had them out a while now. How has the reception been on the showroom floor?

i think if you modify the tail fairing,for me it doesn't flow with the fairing and put hi rise pipes.
+1 for the work you have done

I dont see the problem with the radiator as the SP copes fine
Id like to know the cost of the kits, however why not use the SP front end instead of the cbr600, is there an option for the SP front

The 600 would be a better front end than the SP. Not to mention much better brakes with the radial calipers.
I quite like it. I think they should give me one because I'm a top bloke.

How much?
Needs some stripes or something to break up the red. Looks too much a VFR750. The wheels need a bit of blinging up and the exhaust needs updating but otherwise, very nice job.

There would be a big market for a full front end kit (without the fairings)
How many of us have suffered with the dodgy front suspension and brakes while chasing mates on R1s, Gixxers and Blades down roads like the Putty or Oxley

How do the 600 front end measurements compare with the storms?
e.g triple clamp offset, length of fork.
The front end is a great upgrade for the VTR but not so much if it increases the trail.

I have recently had an altercation with the lawnmower (or you could call it a dropsy moment...lol) and would like to find out if these were available as kits, if this was not going to be an option, could you point mien the right direction? Thanks.

Where can you purchase these bad ass kits from?
Has anyone had cooling probs with the radiator tucked under the fairings?

You can do it yourself.
There are many sites for the firestorm that will tell you how.
All you need to do is google it and the answers are there.
If your not mechanically minded it may be a problem .
Personally I like the look of the Storm as it is.
The CBR600 forks on these bikes look good, and the brake upgrade would be beneficial, however you can improve the Storm enormously by going to CBR600 F4i calipers and braided lines, fitting a fork brace , progressive fork springs, and modding the damper rod and valves for a fraction of the cost and maintain the original look at the same time.
Am I an expert? No however I have learnt and applied this from the forum here in Oz as well as the U.K site, and the American one as well.
I chose to modify what I had, and not try to reinvent the bike, just improve it.
Honda build quality bikes to a price and their standards do not meet with everyone's approval.
That's why I enjoy this bike so much.
Be warned, once you start making changes it's hard to stop.

Can sell you a New Full set of c/fibre look alike 04/05 cbr fairings with h/lights and fairing stay for $500 And if your really keen convert your old rear to a cbr one  Add another say $750-$900 for a f/end ie cbr 1000rr and you'll be still way out in front  |
