now secretly i have saved a few Bob, to buy something purely to have a quick odd 80 mile blast on, then get on the CBF for serious miles etc, should i buy another Storm ? i know my red one was a stunner and i aint got that much but its like a small furnace in my pocket!!!
I was offered a Suzi 600 but was thinking about a Storm again!

Stripped her down to check the tension of the cam chains.
Manuals have been in for about 4 years and I have noticed a rattle on deacelleration lately.
Ready to take valve covers off.

Stripped & cleaned a rear calliper.
Got a Fart Book Stormer coming over tomorrow to do his brakes for him. New lines & pads, swap the callipers to save cleaning his on the day.
His current fluid is a dark brown colour & is still on original lines.
Be doing the clutch fluid as well...

Where did you get your LED brake light bulbs from Marti, do they fit the standard rear light
