I tried that... It will need even more sledgehammer engineering than I'm willing to do to fit it... :wink: So I settled for getting the extra ponies out of the original lump instead...

Still not sure if I want to try mounting a SC on a VTR engine, or if I'm going to try it on the SP2 lump in the back of the garage... One is easier to do engine wise (It's already FI), but requires me to build the bike in working condition to house the engine, the other I have rolling... Then again, neither is really an issue, as I have most the parts... I just need to find an extra 3-4 hours each day, to have time for it... Wonder if the boss will be bothered if I do it on my coffee breaks at work... :confused :roll:

You guys on here do amaze me with what you do to your Storms, ive just done engine mods to keep it going and some cosmetics to make it look nicer ( yep my opinion with white wheels) if i wanted a lot more poke i would buy a Tiourno ( yep spelt wrong) however you certainlt know your stuff and my Storm is plenty fast enough for the b roads round here, my Mate on his GSXR 750 was behind on sunday!!! :biggrin
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!
