Now I know this may have been covered many times before but I can't be bothered going through all the old posts.
1, Is there a quick action throttle for the Storm?
2, I will be fitting a 96 Blade rear wheel so which VFR 750 front wheel will fit the front of the Storm?
Thanks
Just a couple of questions

rvf750 throttle tube off david silvers, 10 day delivery tho as they order them in.
26 delivered.
unless you can get a different one elsewhere - there's another thread about them so maybe a quick search.
not sure which wheel but if you look on ozfirestorm, theres a modding section with reference to what bits fit off what bikes.
good luck

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Hi glynn. I fitted a 96 blade rear wheel and a vfr400(nc30) front. Direct swap with no messing around with bearings or spindle.
Re: Just a couple of questions
Only reason I said VFR whell instead of NC30 is bacause they seem to be more readily available.
Re: Just a couple of questions
Front wheel: believe it is 94-97 VFR750. The CBR600F3 front is a direct bolt-on as well (and likely easiest of all to find).
AS for the throttle, the RC45 unit works, but you can also fit an HRC 1/6 turn tube (can find them on eBay). The only issue is that it uses up ALL the available play in the cables. ON the positive side, it's a lot of fun

All the available play-
Why not file the cable groove a wee bit deeper, to give some play for adjustment purposes?
Only need 1mm off diameter to give 3.142mm more cable slack, unless my mediocre school maths deserts me.
So .5 mm deeper in the usable part of the track

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
