What Mods?

Post by Jester666 »

So, I've joined the 'Storm Club. 1998 VTR1000 F.

What are the best/most popular performance mods?

Different front end? Dynojet kit? Rear Shock? Front Fork springs? Turbo? NOS? Supercharger? :)

I already have nice loud cans (Baffles on order Officer :) ), solo seat cowl, heated grips (lovely at this time of year!)

I'll be looking at doing lots of track time next year (Intermediates) so what do people recommend?

Cheers, Jester :twisted:

sort the camchain tensioners first

then tbh unless you want to spend a load on dyno time, just concentrate on getting the handling & brakes right.
a standard storm is quick enough to keep up with (piss on) most stuff on the road & track as long as you can corner it & brake proper.
plenty of threads on forks work & rear shocks, brake upgrades etc.
best thing i did with mine was progressive springs front & back - big difference :thumbup:

Yeah as Benny says CCT's need addressing, so does the rectifier if it still has the standard non-finned item fitted.
