Made good inroads on the exhaust & cleared the first weld from the header. Ran out of dremmel stones on the 2nd more ordered. Found it best to fit the dremmel bits in a mains power drill, much more efficient.

Another 150 miles with some adj on the "Rogered" forks, I've booked my MOT and booked a date to do the WP shock , ragged it a bit as the roads were perfectly dry, wheelied it quite a bit coming out the bends, shat myself at a really big one, and had a relaxing coffee in costa watching some guys looking over the bike, a good day!!! :angel:

It will never be a sp1 but can cost the same if not more by the time you've finished

I reckon as an all round road bike the storm is better than the sp, ok so its down on power and the handling isn't as sharpe, but on the road imho 100bhp is plenty of fun, and once you address the storms handling issues, its very good, and so much more comfortable than a sp. as I said just my opinion, plus its more fun to personalise a storm, if you personalise an sp, you run the risk of spoiling it.
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
