Huge thanks Mac for the exhaust My much abused storm doesn't look like a wheelbarrow anymore

The cave and the Stable of Storms are a beautiful thing to behold!

I'm off today. Sounds like a plan!!!

The joint holding my right side can on has has been eaten by rust worms :( :( So I'm looking for a standard right sided exhaust can with its baffle intact so the air comes out of the end not the middle of the exhaust!. Doesn't need to be mint as my poor storm has seen a few miles and isn't mint hers...

Replaced the knackered front head that spat its spark plug out at the end of last year (well I replaced the head about 6 weeks ago). :D Just in time to crash my old fireblade at Snetteron. :( Then the front brakes develop a wobble so strip them down. :( One sticky piston sorted and a slightly warped...

Morning all I am after a front cylinder head for my storm. The current head just spat the spark plug out killing the plug thread as it did so needs evicting and replacing with a less dead one. Seems they are a bit rare though (because of the whole CCT thing I guess?) and can't find one on ebay. Anyo...

Thanks gents

And tea. Don't forget tea

I suspect you are right on the new head front. Can't see any other way really. Never tried Helicoils; just replaced the bits in the past.

Spirited ride home two or three nights ago nights ago and all of a sudden lots of banging 8O 8O 8O Thought the worst that the CCTs had gone and that I hadn't done the stopper mod properly. Had a quick look on a dark road and soon worked out that the spark plug had popped out. Not sure that is suppos...

Not been on for a few days so I am a bit late in commenting... My heart was in my mouth reading Marty's intro!

Good to hear you have got through it are on the mend though!

New chain and sprockets and finished yesterday and took her out for a run. Nothing fell off!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: First time I have changed them so did wonder if I had torqued every thing back up but it would seem I did. but she did get rained on so the new stuff is not shiny and new any mor...

Thanks gents! Time to spend some money.

Not really today, more last weekend.... Got rid of the Renthal handlebars that have been on there since I got it. Replaced with some old Fireblade clip-ons as it has a very early 'blade fork on it. Handling feels better and less wheelie prone at the same throttle but damn they are low (non-standard...

Hello all. I know this has been asked many many times before but I can't find the threads on here so I have to ask again...sorry :( Not bought a chain and sprocket for a bike before so looking for a steer on a good quality chain and sprocket. Looked on ebay and there are huge numbers and half are pr...
