Mods list Addendum

[slicer07]

When I first joined this forum I started to make a list of mods. You will notice from my list that I have not included too many pure bling mods. I think it may be of some help to those that are new to the forum. Print them out and cross em off as you go!

Before you start you need to know this:-

1997: Honda VTR1000F Firestorm launched.
1999: Honda VTR1000F Firestorm gets new, silver wheels.
2001: An overhaul increased Honda VTR1000F Firestorm's fuel capacity to 19 litres, raised the bars for a more upright riding position and installed a new HISS security system. There were also minor tweaks with both suspension and carb/ignition settings plus the dash was redesigned and new, smaller indicators installed. Black wheels.
2005: Honda VTR1000F Firestorm discontinued. www.burniemorgan.com/firestorm/images/vtr1000f01e.pdf

No need doing a mod that is not required.

I hope to add more links and update the URL's as necessary. Like this forum and our bikes it is a work in progress.

Feel free to copy and add to it. Also make sure you research and ask questions as the mod should suit your individual purpose.

Can we perhaps makes this a 'stiky' thread so it stays up the top?
Saves having to search and/or repost the same stuff over and over again.

[FrillyBoBkinS]

awesome work Slicer....well done and thanx




.

[bigfella]

Hey Slicer excellent job. I am trying to find some threads on lower fairings I know there were some but if your memory is better than mine another one that would be appreciated on "The List"

[slicer07]

I will get to work on it. There is a link for "carbon fibre parts". Yes, I know there are other styles. I will create a separate line for the lower fairing/belly pans. In the mean time, check this site out www.onlinetorque.com.au/ not sure if the Firestorm is catered for but the "darkside" readers should take a look. They have full replacement kits. I have now added the category. I put the Sharkskinz link in as it has been popular.

[cheekybugger]

Hey.
Does anyone know of an engineer that can certify/check/whatever mods to motorcycle subframes?
Plenty of places out there that offer the whole service, but I wanna do as much of the work as I can.
Any thoughts?

Thanks guys!

[shayne]

What area?

[vtrme]

Not to be too muck of a pain and it's prob been covered before, but what type of alloy does the spring spacer need to be made out of? does it matter?

[cheekybugger]

Mine is just mild steel painted to prevent rust.

[gaby73]

Thanks for all the info.. what a wealth of information.

[pete]
