1 problem, although i am not sure it is an issue, is the blue high beam light on the instrument cluster is on albeit dimly when i have the normal lights on. When i switch to high beam the blue light gets brighter.
Anyone know if this is supposed to happen or do i have a wiring issue :?:

Is the headlight bulb going from dim to main correctly?

Hi

Yes it switches between the high and low beam without issue.

Sounds normal to me - though you can fit a Eager Beaver headlight relay kit to get the leccy to the right place & improve efficiency.

Hi
Welcome to the forum
I was looking at for a Castrol colours Storm before I got my blue one.
Mine has braided front lines and it stops harder than any other bike I have owned!!
Also got firmer springs in the forks to improve the soggy front end.

Enjoy your storm and don't worry about the fuel economy just remember how cheap the bike was..lol

Thought i would a photo of the bike but all i seem to get is this little box where the pic should be. I guess you can follow the link to it though.
I'm using drop box is that why no pic displays ?

Seb got his from China IIRC and then sold them all off when he broke the bike - Did the PO tell you they were genuine Honda?

All the panels have been sprayed, evidence of the original Honda red in hidden areas. So fingers crossed they are genuine.
