Forgive my ignorance, but what are advantages of braided lines? Obviously there are some braking benefits, but what exactly?

I definately agree... A bigger tank is #1 priority. Gets a bit annoying when you do the Great Ocean Road in a day (about 600K's round trip), it seems you are always at the bloody servo getting fuel.

I haven't done a whole lot of 2up riding on the storm, but when i have the pillion has not been too comfy. Having had a viffer myself, i would recomend getting another viffer. Great fun bike that is more than capable of going 2up (at speed too). :P

yes mate, I have run a 100/80w bulb since I've had storms in 97, never had a problem with the switch burning out, no relay, just make sure the plug that goes on the back of the bulb is clean and making good contact. Also run them in the car and the VTX. I buy them in bulk, can do you a pair for £1...
