Think i may choose the springs option for price and see how that feels. Decided I am gonna semi strip the bike over the next few months so will do it then. Ive seen Hagon shocks on MandP are these decent enough?

yes good shock for the money,they also do one with a remote resovoir,or you could keep an eye on ebay for one,i picked my WP shock up for Â£190 there.

not sure about these,but for the money they are at you could probably still sell them on at a profit if they didn't fit

i forgot just how ugly zxr forks are

Toby depends which zxr you had mine looked pretty cool and handled fantastic!!!!!

Alan you had the ugly ZXR!!! LOL!

I MUCH prefer the look of the H version, the L looks too bland i think!

Its not that i think the forks look terrible, just that i cant see them looking too good on a storm! Mind you wouldnt the later zx7s calipers fit straight on?

Seems like the blade ones can be had pretty cheap, its just anything USD gets expensive!

The pic your looking at Toby is the ZXR 250 grey import not many of them around, theres not alot of difference between the 250 and 400 size wise and it was fairly quick, me and the wife went everywhere on that lol wasnt bad two up but riding on your own it was fantastic.
