Alan, addmittedly that one does look similar, but I don't think it's the same one, as the lights and recesses for them are much bigger, unless it's an earlier version which it may be :!:

I may be wrong but it looks very much like Skidmarx trackday fairing adapted to take the twin lights. A route I've often looked at as the price is sub 200 quid, just, for the fairing.......could be wrong though!

That looks to be a standard fairing with a headlight conversion.......and does it come with a welders mask? Its a tad on the bright side!

Alan, I don't like the blue frame, I think if it was black it would look quite good :!: definitely different :D

Still not fully convinced about the fairing :wink:

I've added a couple more pic's of the swingarm for you :!:

I had to dig deep to find this again, I only came across it last week:-

http://www.speedzilla.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18608

Have a look at the second page of that link Alan, I know it's a Blade but it does have a single sider fitted, very tasty indeed :!:


I agree with Zer0Zer0 about the bike I posted :!: 8) 8)

Cheers,

Chris.

Yes i dont like the frame on the one i posted the thing i really like is the seat unit,i have enquired about one of these there about 350 complete with subframe,light,seat.

The swingarm (HUB) on the storm you posted has been tig welded 2 different hubs to take the rc30 wheel Daz Sear did this to take the Ducati wheel.

I just want the later vfr 750 5.5inch wheel which is an 8 spoke looks like the rc30 but with 4 bolt holes then get the wheel cover from the German company on ebay.

Just looked on the link the blade is AWESOME the seagale swingarms are something else,i have seen pics of a storm with seagale swingarm,frame

ps thanks for the link keep posting the pics or send me the link i have a thing for single siders/customs OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH :!: :!:

heres the pic of the segale

I also like the seat unit Alan but £350 is enough, but if you're buying a subframe aswell that's not so bad. No doubt the standard Storm subframe and seat unit will more than likely be that much :!:

Interesting info about the tig welded SSSarm :!:

You're welcome for the link, it was nice to see the Metisse, definitely different, I'll keep posting any new/interesting pic's/links etc I come across and you do the same, I must be similar to you as I also have a thing for single siders/customs 8) :D :D


Marty behave yourself :!: :lol: :lol: :lol:
