get a dremmel or similar and carry on with the autosol, use the white round polishing heads to rub it in then just buff it off, i found it very theraputic [spelt wrong] then once they are done, use 2-3 coats of laquer to protect the finish then you just need to wash them off after the dust has built...

seems to me no one on here knows how to ride a twin in anger?? is it just me? if you throw it in a corner sideways [motard style] theres nothing better as nothing will spin up the rear like a twin with the right clutch control....! in standard trim the storm is a bit of a softie, but sort the front ...

i will do the rear tyre for £60 including postage anywhere in the uk i would say its a 8 out of ten, had some wear on the shoulders but plenty left and its a top quality tyre [very sticky] let me know, cheers richard

Just used nitromores for the first time to strip paint off the wheel, can't believe iv'e never used it before. the metzler recetec tyre is off the rim now so if you wan't it i can post next week. Geting the bolt sleave and the 5mm front sprocket spacer machined next weekend [bloke is away until then]

right, just seen the pics come up on the screen, this technology lark is too complicated for me, only just got used to not using 35mm film...ha. re: conversion, i think the biggest issue is seeing your beloved bike looking like a pile of srcap for a few weeks [like mine at the mo.] but you need to b...

bikes are to be ridden not sat in a dust free lab and polished to death. i think its a shame when you read "its never seen rain, unless i was caught out" it either means they are a bit soft, or can't ride in the rain??? you tell me. with the right gear and enough red bull or monster, which...

if anyone wants the metzler race-tec tyre thats on the vfr rim let me know, not sure what its worth but its super sticky and got plenty of life left in it. its a 180/55/17 [a proper cut slick] for road use or track days? http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab70/vtrmann/DSCF2166.jpg http://i850.photob...

heres some pics of the cleaned up arm [if you care?] http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab70/vtrmann/DSCF2163.jpg http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab70/vtrmann/DSCF2164.jpg http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab70/vtrmann/DSCF2165.jpg amazing what a cheap £1 tin of degreaser and some wd40 will do ...

here are some rescent pics [done today] of the next stage of my conversion. taking stuff apart is the best bit IMOP its the geting evrything back together part that takes the time and patience. I would definatly reccomend having a go at this, its not as difficult as everyone seems to believe, as lon...

decided paint is the way to go with the wheels [or rear at least] front looks nice as it is, so maybe a black centre and polished lip for the rear? might have some smaller bits done in black but not going the whole hog with the single sided swing arm as it should look nice cleaned up and maybe polis...

hi, its all sorted now, exhaust is made 2 into 1 and a single twin exit oval can under modified standard tail unit. as for the suspension linkage, i have lined it all up with my laser sight and i will be able to just enlarge the smaller of the two tank bracket holes to 12mm and use a 12mm nut and bo...

yeah iv'e noticed that about colour, hence the reason iv'e decided to have a custom yellow paint made up and using troy bayliss camel livery on mine, each to thier own i say, but mine should stand out from the crowd hopefully [spending enough on it to do so!!!]

thanks for the response.

will be uploading pics this weekend, it should all be test fitted then dissasembeled for paint and polishing etc before final assembly.
