HI all. just spent the last while lookin through the forum and it's pretty cool! i'm from Dublin (where the rain never stops)ha ha Takin my bike out of the shed seems to have the same power as an Indian rain dance! ha ha. i bought a 98 storm in dec (non runner) so i'm workin on it every chance i get. I've put a single sided swinger on(that was handy.... not) ha ha. had an underseat exhaust made up too. The lads are callin it the nut roaster, hope their wrong ha ha. I hope to pick your collective brains when ever i'm stuck on somrthing. Thanks. Top o' the mornin to ya, and all that kind of thing

Looking forward to seeing your bike, been toying with the idea of those mods too, but will have to wait til winter i reckon. Good luck with the underseat nut roaster 1

Any pictures?
It'd be quite interesting to see, and maybe get some inspiration.

Hi JAY.B
Your mods do sound interesting as Saint said.
I'd also be interested to see some pictures of your creation!

cheers Chris.

I used a vfr800 swinger. wheel alinement was sorted with a 2mm spacer. it bolted straight on. but it will sit the shock right in front of the manafold, so you've got to re work the pipe.the spockets where 10mm out too. i had the rear hub machined and used a spacer at the front sprocket. you've also got to drill a 10mm hole for the shock top-mounting. not finished the messy work yet, but i'm havin fun! just hope it works ha ha
