Went down the R6 route, fitted and working. Was hoping the original would look a bit suspect but it looks like it was quite happy. I wouldn't be surprised if the ones that give up the ghost are fitted to bikes where the quality control wasn't as thorough. eg, yellow and red ones

Only I've only been checking this forum out (being a relatively new Storm lover) for a short time I've come to the conclusion that a lot of peeps on here(ie:the yellow or red owners) are bonkers
