FirestormMike, ditto totally agree, shame no optional extra, have to admit they do look a bit naked without lower fairing.

Hey Beast. watch this style You will find that the o/s manifold can some times melt and disstort the right hand side. Belive me I know.
Before I painted mine ( after repairing it) I Covered the inside with a heat resisant foil. Works a treat and makes it look nice where you can see the inside .

You're right..it totally transforms the bike ,and that tailpiece

...surely Honda could've done that without adding too much cost to the bike

Mind you,was a new storm in '96/'97 not nearly Â£8 k

I do like double bubble screens also got one here but gonna fit when I get the bike resprayed.

Are there any other lower fairings out there which are different to the ones we have posted. Could be a good idea to name them also manufactures where to buy etc.

just had a quick look at the skidmarx lower and looks ok, not a lot of money either, does anyone have one of them on their bike and are the easy to fit
