Default Productive afternoon :)

Despite being very hungover spent a couple of hours fitting my new shiny bits

Old screen



New screen



Old exhaust



New exhaust & single seat



Huuuuge mudguard



Tail tidy



Much better

Bolted on a set of R&G crash protectors for good measure too



Anyone else done any winter mods?

Nope, just a slip on.

Can't afford the full system at the moment so the plan is to fit the power commander (on way) and a decent set of rearsets then leave it alone until next winter when I'll be adding an Ohlins rear shock & the Akrapovic front pipes

The full system on my Firestorm was £1154

Definately the best exhausts in the world though
Beautifully made

Another busy day

Couldn't be arsed to take pictures though

Fitted my braided lines,carbon exhaust hanger, black Gilles rearsets, pipercross filter, plugs and power commander

Felt like a proper tuner downloading the custom map onto the power commander with my laptop

Just need to do the oil & filter, touch up a few panels, replace a few rusty bolts and general buftyness and she's ready to kick ass come Spring

I've just bought exactly the same sort of bike, although it's had a slight drop on the left. I don't suppose you want to sell your original pillion seat and both original rear hangers/pegs do you mate? I'd be well interested if you do.

Here's mine with the Cossie in the background. Pillion seat is ripped on the left and left hand hanger is damaged, right hand one is bent, although it doesn't look it from the pic.

TrevCos, looks nice mate

Sorry, can't sell any of the standard bits as the bike will go back to standard when I sell it.

Plenty of R1 bits on Ebay though
