Archie's Storm rolling mods diary

[archiebroge1]

Alright Folks Thought I'd start a diary now as my bike will be coming off the road at the end of this season for a freshen up.

Joined the forum a couple of months ago when I first got my storm. Its slightly neglected but mechanically sound. Decided then I wanted it to look mint but also made the decision to use it this season. So I gave her a good service for peace of mind and have since been enjoying it.

Can honestly say I have proper got the vtwin bug and have no plans of ever selling this bike. Have started to collect parts already. Also in the process off doing an ss exhaust.

will update as and when cheers

my first ever look at the beast


Skidmarx lower fairing fitted


got myself a decent lift as old bike jack wasnt up to the job


few pics of the exhaust conversion. Will also be removing snapped studs from front cylinder while im at this. using the standard right side can at the moment can any one advise if this will work ok. Also if anyone one on here could sell me a right side link pipe that would be great as I cant post in the wanted section yet. remus system is also for sale.




And a few out and about

Yeah got the kart as a project for me and my son but think it's gonna be to quick to let him drive.

Good project and have a look at my 2-1 exhaust thread to see the cheapest way to do it without loosing power

No don't ask lloydie about carbon leo vince exhaust can with a huge hole in it :-(

[agentpineapple]

single exit carbon can is not the best idea, unless it's bloody huge and well packed, only an idiot would use a single c/f can from a 600cc bike...........doh!!!!!!!!!!!!
you know who you are.........................lloydie......

I tend to lean via counter steering and shifting my weight around!

So basically If i use the standard can its gonna destroy the performance. Back to the drawing board
