Started the job of giving my recently acquired storm a complete service and fluids change this afternoon. Took bell pan off and first problem, one of the stud holes in the pan is snapped and badly repaits - in fact hanging off - so thats been repaired, as I will in time get a full lower fairing. So ...

Noticed in this old thread that someone talked about cutting old exhaust nuts off, then recutting the stud thread with a die, which sounds a great idea!!!!

What have people used to cut the nuts?

Just had a look at mine on my newly acquired storm and they look well rusty!!!!

Thanks

I'm presuming thus is the honda x 11

Ta fellas

Hello roger And welcome. At that price it's worth a punt- I' m massively excited with my w reg storm I got last week. It cost me £1000 and it's massive value. - just need to give it a full service and fluids change then there we go !!!!! This forum is amazing and was a great inspiration to me to get...

Before anyone says Blue I could guess that !!!!!

Unfortunately it looks like some joker has painted the subframe and there is no colour sticker!!!

Anywhere else I can find out??

I've attached a pic, not a great one but maybe someone can help




Many thanks

Brian

Just gets better and better - it looks like someone has replaced the headlamp unit so it dips to Left - can spend my money on other bits now !!!!

Hia Chris What a great place this forum is!!!!!' Thanks so much for getting in touch - not sure what etiquette is on the forum for passing emails et as I can't respond to your pm. Totally right in that was supplied by Kim, as was my blade I bought in 1998. Feel much better about the speedo now !!!!!...

You are probably all getting bored about me telling you I finally bought my storm today!!!! It is pretty good but I want to go right through it and check out all the things you good people have identified plus I will also give it a general,tidy up as well reach for summer. So the question is how qui...

Of course I meant a SORN ,,,,

Thanks fellas It was a private sale - and having done more research on mot s there are a few mentions down the years of headlamp masks etc so I am assuming it is a right dipper - as I said earlier the original dealer was well known for parallels . Guess I'll have a look for a left dipping headlamp u...

I'll do a picture - not sure I can upload???

A pic will better illustrate what I am on about !!!!

Very pleased with it though - it was cheap as a previous cat c but it us in very good nick.

I'm suspecting this speedo was a dealer fix on delivery

Brian

Slightly odd this one in that the dial goes up to 280 but it says MPH on the face of the clock. Coincidentally the supplying dealer us very local to me and always did parallels ad I bought my 98 blade there. I seem to remember there was a method of electronically doing some to the speedo so the need...

Hope someone can help me with this -not really bothered but want to get insurance details correct !!!!

Thanks
