my storm

Post by geoff996 »

Hi here my vtr brought it off ebay (there a surprise) in april 1st no jokes please been riding 4 cylinder for years and fancied a change last v twin i owned was a CX500 that a few years ago and couldn't ride that but fancied another go. Bike came with art cans,heated grips, double bubble screen, belly pan and rear hugger so a good base of extras and full services history up till the guy i brought it off he only had it for about 6 months. I have put a pipercross filter in and a long trumphet in the airbox and removed the bar and jetted the carbs ktech springs and new oil,polished the forks sprayed top yoke black and have a carbonfibre cover and swinging arm rear wheel,footrest handle bars resprayed the belly pan red. Things to do are rear shock ktech spring, change swinging arm I got a cbr954 one so going to look at that,rearsets and a dyno [img][IMG=http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/44/vtr2009007.th.jpg][/img][IMG]
