We must have the same eyes then :lol:

The reason for doing it really started when i first seen Brian Lights bike in the US a few years ago he had done the conversion and just loved the look plus i have a thing for Ducatis with the singlesided arm 748/916 always wanted one and still do but reliability has put me off still might get one for my living room :lol: and then a mate bought me the swingarm for doing some work on his bike last year so went from there, it was strange at the time as i was about to sell the storm and get rsvr mille so my mate had a role in it aswell.

I have always changed things on my bikes but this one has had the most and always wanted to upgrade the storm mainly for better handling i do like the engineering side and very intrested in seeing what can be done.

I dont know what it rides like as its not finished but i know of people who have done the front end swap and love the handling they say it carves up corners and steers really fast.

As for the swingarm because its slightly longer it will probably slow the steering abit but give more grip i presume, but my front end will compensate for this i hope :lol: glad you liked anyway

Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
