Afternoon all

Post by Bennyboy »

Afternoon all, I’ve been a storm owner for about 3 years now and I was using it as my daily up until about October last year, I’m now in the process of collecting a load of parts ready for the strip down and rebuild hopefully in time for summer.

Thanks for the welcome, I’m based in Surrey.

When funds allow I’ll be purchasing some rear sets, swing arm brace some carbon goodies and whatever else I can think of 😬

I’ve already sorted new wheels which have been freshly powder coated, panels, rear light, exhausts, brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder and levers.

Thanks all, regards to the brakes and suspension Ive tracked down some adapters so I can fit radial calipers which is also on the list and I’ve seen there’s a shock for sale on the forum but can’t contact the person yet to see if it’s still available and for more info on it

Welcome aboard Bennyboy :thumbup:

Looking forward to seeing how your bike progresses with the work you have planned for it :thumbup:

You will need 50 posts to be able to use the Sales and Want's section, but please take note of the forum rules:-

11. Due to abuse of the Sales and Wants section by some previous new members, it is now mandatory that you have 50 posts before you are allowed to post in that section of the forum. Anybody trying to get around this by posting sales in the wrong place will have their posts deleted, try it a second time and their account will be deleted automatically. No questions asked. Also, posting trivial posts just to reach the 50 will also result in your account being deleted.

All the forum rules can be viewed here if you've not already found them:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19054

It may sound like a bit of hassle to gain 50 posts, but they are there for good reason.
With a little interaction with our forum members you'll soon get there. That gives us a chance to get to know you a little, and vice-versa in the mean while.

Chris.

Surrey...another southern softie then, not a million miles away...

The braced swingarm is not a stock part or even an aftermarket part, its a homebrew job...see here...
