Wow that cleaned up really well. I like the Gold wheels too. You should get your other half on that one so you don't have to keep riding two up.

Nah. I'd broken the last one to get a car. Worst thing I ever did. Been craving one. Taking a nice Well sorted one from a forum member and hoping to get it over this week

Got the rain light sorted, stuck the numbers on and did the lockwiring. How long do you need to be lockwiring for before you stop stabbing yourself with it?

Cheers, yeah i cut my own out of a pair of Stompgrip for a triumph or something that were on special at local shop, but even though i think i got the shape probably even better than any of the firestorm pads ive seen on the market in my opinion, they look a bit daggy where i had to cut through the nipples instead of having the clean border you get on uncut ones. Quite like the shape of yours, obviously not specifically for a firestorm but looks good anyway, i would probably angle them a bit different though. Thanks for getting back to me!

I've been absent for some time. I've eventually got a storm on the road again.

I've been riding a bandit 600 for the last two years. I've missed riding one of these! Are you guys still doing the operation storm meet ups?

Maxton shock
cbr929 front end
leovince cans
Cheapo chinese fairing

Just need to fit manual CCTs

Hey, Steve.
The black wheelbarrow version, eh?
Looks nice but could do with the cans shortening.
Although it makes the plate harder for cameras to spot....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Bike looks very tight mate.
Few op storms left including our own Northern Ireland one. Not anywhere near as expensive as you might think and I belve wits highly recommended as most of the lads from last year are coming over.
Only 4 static cameras in the entire country too 😂
