Don't know what there called but I got a couple last time I was at my Honda main dealer, just asked for the plastic clips that held the rear fairing in place underneath. IIRC they were about 90 odd pence each. Odd thing was thou' he asked me if mine had a rough or smooth finish on the top. Apparentl...

I bought a patten one (Sprint) for about £35 and it lasted only 12 months even with a charge on the Optimate before installing. Bit the bullet and went to my Honda dealer and got a genuine Yuasa for only £50 it's only been on a few months so can't tell you what it's like but before I put the patte...

Mine's simply an anagram of my surname. Put it in a machine and Bonart popped out.

Sorry, forgot about the pics I promised. The first is a pic of the throttle closed, 2nd with the throttle fully open. I checked and it does not hit the tank even thou' it is close. At closed throttle it seems to run flush to the most forward throttle cable. Hope this helps. And yes I know it does ne...

I've used Castrol GPS 10W - 30 semi for the last 10,000 miles on mine with 2 changes with no problems. Get it from Halfwits (Halfords) at about £25 for 4 litres. Same as the stuff the Honda dealer will sell you but a bit cheaper.

TBH I'm not sure how I put mine on. I will have a look tomorrow and maybe post some piccies for you.

Maybe try you Honda dealer and get OEM. I know it sounds daft but I was in mine last week buying some filters and he was telling me that all Honda service items including chain & sproket kits have been reduced to compete with the after market market. :D Told him I didn't believe him and he shown...

It worked. Woo Hoo!!!!!!

Ok Rick, here goes and hopefully you should see some pics below.

Have them on my bike at the front without the indy spacers and they are a little short. I will take some pics and post them up for you soon.

ive always had my disc holder on the top bolt,left side of front mudguard.apparently the disc has to be displayed on the left hand side of the bike forward of the rider! :D Totally agree with Tony. I have mine on the rear fender bolt pushed up as far as it will go towards the fron cylinder. this wa...

Agree with storminateacup there. I used to have the same probs and flattened my battery but using the above method since last winter has worked well.

Yeah I've ridden one of the old 750's before the 800 came along as my friend still has his with only 6000 miles from new and have to agree it has one of the sweetest engines out there, although I did find it a bit too armchairish for me. If I was gonna go on some serious mile munching trip it would ...

Gazbut, I bought a 03 storm 12 months ago with the same mileage as yours. I've added another 8,000 miles and have had no problems. All i've done to mine is replace the battery, change the oil & filter and the spark plugs at 8000 miles. I use it every day during the week to commute and weekends o...

Is there not one in the Honda tool kit? I'm sure last time I changed mine there was one in there.
