Eeerg! How can you guys sell your bikes? They are part of the family and that Honda was the prettiest machine on this forum, bar none!

Yes it was an amazing bike, but i need to do 2 up this year. I can't afford 2 with the cars, boat and horse etc.

i have used them. iv just fitted the sticky ones and well impressed so far. before that rear iv just fitted i had the semi touring one,the one with the crazy pattern round the edges it was good enough on a dry trackday to get pegs and a knee down so they aint to bad lol. lasted about 4k and that was 2 track days in the middle of it.

WOW I didn't see that coming, you'd only just decided to keep it

Good luck with your plans Paul,

Chris.

PS. Nice photo Fab, especially the first one your bike looks great

Today I fitted a lh side top hose from a VTR to my commuter hack CB600f.
Only 'cause the rh side top hose split on that, and it was roughly the same shape, but a bit longer.
Hopefully the head didn't warp, or the head gasket go, as I only noticed when the temp gauge was firmly stuck at the top of the red block....
I wonder what other Storm bits will fit.?

Fitted new rear disc and pads .
Good luck with finding a new bike Paul [THUMBS UP SIGN].

And Tony ,you know it'll all fit with a good size persuader !!

Nothing new just the same old light flywheel, good exhaust and HRC bits in the carbs and ECU.
In fact I am loosing my ported heads but the minor gain isn't worth pulling the heads or spending the cash.
