Heat had crossed my mind fella !!! I didn't realise a vfr tank would fit :) is it a bolt straight on job ?looks like a problem solved eh !!! I thought about the 19ltr tank but thought they were hard to come by ? So thought about making a 16ltr tank wider ! Then decided to go bespoke lol Not enough r...

I've got a few bits under the seat already unfortunatly

I think belly pan area could work plus there are mounting point too

I thought about making it removable, a bit of a pain if it's hidden under the pan tho

Some more thought required I think

Love the disguise !!

Hahaha

Fuel can is easy but looks poor and I think it's a puller in the uk ain't it ??

Tony The alloy would be scrap from work :) I guess the biggest expense would be the pump and fittings for the inlet and outlet on the aux tank I'd not thought about hiding one in the belly pan !! I like that idea :) normal uk riding I want to stop after 80 miles or so but when I was in Spain the lim...

Both bikes are off the road until the spring dry roads appear

Not bothered about riding in the rain !!

i'll have to join you for a run next year fella..

i know the peaks very well

hi all ive been thinking about fabricating an alloy tank that could possibly carry another 4-5 ltrs of fuel. i have read on here of people using a fuel pump so thought i could fit one and pump fuel back up to the carbs so the main tank would syphon into the smaller tank. anyone ever thought about th...

my bridgestone rear tyre lasted about 1500 miles?

i run maxis on the supermoto and get approx 800 miles out of a rear

think i'll try maxis on the storm at the miles you lads are getting !

cheers matey

hi all after lots of wondering what bike to get next ( the spain tour killed me on the storm :) ) ive decided to put a straight bar conversion on the storm along with some better front brakes as the stock ones just wasnt up to the job in spain ! this will be a christmas project so im just looking ar...

Just my 2 cents

I've got k tech linear springs, 7.5wt iirc oil, ground taper on rebound, dropped front 6mm,

Rear is hagon with spring matched to my weight and 3mm shock spacer.

Handles bang on, well its fine on the twistys in the peaks... All the rear tyre is used anyhow so I'm happy with it

Aye, new oil will be purchased

I am sure I will have questions once it comes apart lol !!!

many thanks for that benny !!! helps alot :) i have printed the head/ valve train section of the manual here so will have a read up have ordered hot cam shim set, cranked metric and imperial ( comes in one thingy ) feelers, magnet on a stick clutch slave cyl service kit, filters, chain and sprockets...

thanks for the advice chaps,

i'll have to read up about doing the shims... have fitted and modded ccts but never adjusted clearances via shims.

sounds daunting lol

Will short angled feeler guages work, or do i need the 300mm extra long straight ones ?




off to spend some money

regards mark

Hi all. Well the storms back after its slide down the road. Now I am thinking about doing a service before the 19th of aug when it goes to spain ! How hard is it to do the valve clearances, what parts will I need and roughly how long might it take? Also I'm tempted to replace the clutch slave cylind...
