I have that rear light :D Apparently it's quite difficult to see on a nice day, but really bloody bright at night :lol:

I haven't done anything. My mate is currently out riding it though as his bike is away getting it's downpipes sorted. I only let him have a go because he didn't like the bike last time he rode it, so he'd get his fix quickly and come back. Got a phone call though a while ago saying "Yeah, I'll be back quite late. Your bike is wombles fun!"..


What a prick! :lol:

Went to Poole bike night and saw hundreds of lovely bikes, but only 1 Storm and Feck it looked good :lol: :lol:

Lots of chicken strips but none on the Storm, handling a peach.Flywheel mod is a revelation lloydie. High level cans have arrived but not sure if i like or prefer them!!!. Maybe have a plat with them at the weekend. No idea where to put the indicators though???

kenmoore FYI we have issues with the LED tailights with built in indicators as they wont pass our MOT (year roadworthy test) with the indicators working so they have to be disconnected. :( The clear lens with tow standard Red bulbs are quite rare over here.

I think the teal & silver wheels combo looks cracking mate! Also it's clear to see you are making a very neat job of it :thumbup:

Funny thing here in Oz is that we to have annual inspections where you take your bike in for a "Rego Check" each year.

I always take mine to a car dealership and have it done and have never had a problem.

My idea is that they don't see many bikes and are not up to speed with bike laws.

Also our laws vary from state to state.

For instance my bike would not pass in Queensland because of the light, fenderectomy and mufflers, but it is all legal in my state.

Can I ride in Queensland?

Yes I can because the bike is legally registered in my state. :beer: :beer: :beer:
