Cheers Chris found some useful info and theres a guy called Daz how do i get intouch with him ? Do you know if he is a regular on here as i couldnt see a link for him to mail him? Thanks Alan

[sirch345]

You can send him a PM (private message) just look for Stormsmasher in the 'Search' section above then use his PM link. The bikes he built were stunning imo and I'm sure he won't mind giving you some advice if he's not to busy.

He does come on here ocassionally but he is not a regular anymore at the moment

No problem Alan. I must admit that's one mod I do like,

Chris.

Yes it looks really good i have seen a few pics of some.I was about to sell my bike but a mate bought me the swingarm for doing some work on his bike and basically he made the choice for me, i got the info about the shock mount, i mailed Daz just waiting for him to get back to me.What mods have you done to yours?

I haven't really done any major mods although would like to, mainly due to lack of funds at the moment. I fitted Scorpion high level race cans, which made the engine pick up quicker, the torque seems to be more available lower down in the revs and I feel it has added a few extra ponies to the bike and to top it off it sounds imo brilliant, not to offensive but I feel safer as most of the car drivers hear my bike before they see it.
I've got a black double bubble screen fitted which I find definitely makes the bike more of a pleasure to ride, wind blast wise that is

I know what you mean about car drivers being more aware of you..chris.
i chuckle into my helmet when cars 100 yards away. pull in closer to the left
when they hear my storm approaching

I wouldn't say mine are quite that loud Marty, but at least you know what I mean, I find most car drivers are pretty good at pulling in closer to the left, but I find you do get the odd one or two now and again (usually when filtering) who pull out deliberately just to block your path, it's as if they are jealous of you being able to continue on your journey while they have to sit and wait

[alan]

Mine are very loud i have the blueflame twin port evos they make a right racket been pulled a few times ,but i know what you mean chris about drivers you can see the frustration as you pull by in traffic and they start to edge over the best car drivers are bikers alan

[sirch345]

the best car drivers are bikers alan

You have a good point there Alan
